<TITLE>11. Par 93-106</TITLE>L-93 And we find now that these were six-winged creatures. And now we're going to study the reason for having six wings. They had, we find out, They had two over Their face, two over Their feet, and were flying with two wings.

L-94   Now notice, first, that these creatures were ministering in the Presence of God. And that was Their duty, was crying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty!" And They cried, day and night, in His Presence, as the sacrifice is laying there. "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty!"

L-95 And I want you to notice something here, and think. Those Seraphims had two wings over Their faces. Why would They put them over Their faces? Because They were in the Presence of God. And just think, if holy Angels has to cover Their face, in His Presence, what about us? Has the wings over Their faces, represented reverence.

L-96 But, today, we find that there is no reverence. Hardly you can find reverence. They don't have no respect for God. They stand and sing God Bless America, with their foot on the bar. And it's terrible, the way they do.

L-97   I went to ask for a sandwich, today, in a--in a place. And the little lady, not making no remarks about her, but I thought she was dying. She looked like she had cankered under her eyes, she had blue all around her. And--and she run up, with just a few clothes on, and she said, "What will you have?"

L-98 I said, "Would you bring me a sandwich and a--a--a--a--a glass of buttermilk?"
And she said, "Bourbon" on something, some kind.

L-99 I said, "No, ma'am. You misunderstood me." I said, "I said, 'buttermilk.'"
And she said, "Oh," said, "won't you have something to drink?"
I said, "I want buttermilk."

L-100 And she said, "Well, you all, don't you want... At night we serve so-and-so."
I said, "I'm a minister."

L-101 She said, "Well, our... Well, our Catholic priests come in here and drink."

L-102 I said, "I--I'm not a Catholic priest, lady. I--I want... I want a glass of buttermilk." It seemed like it shocked the woman. She didn't know what it was. See?

L-103   And the world has got into such a place. Now if a priest comes in and drink, the congregation has got a right to drink; there is your example, see. Oh, my, what a corruption we're living in! We need a housecleaning, all the way from the pulpit to the... Yeah. Yes, sir, we certainly do. How the corruption of the world!

L-104 And these, no reverence, no respects! The people today, they don't respect God. They have no reverence. They take His Name in vain, and tell dirty jokes. And--and even ministers do that. You hear a--a joke, I guess would be all right. But ministers should be examples, I think, of what of--of righteousness and holiness. And that's the reason I think maybe we--we don't get no farther than we do; we're not, don't come this, the sincerity that we ought to have in it. When you're carrying on, and going on, you lose that little grain of sincerity, you know. There is something about it.

L-105   You must remember that God is watching you, every hour. He watches you when you're asleep. Now, I think the reason that people do those things is because, they--they--they, they're not conscious of His Presence, see. But yet He is there, whether you think He is or not. He sees every look that you make, and every--every move that you make. He knows all about it. But we ought to realize that.

L-106 We used to have a little song, when I first come among the Pentecostals, they sang.
All along on the road to the soul's true abode,
There is an Eye watching you;
Every step that you take, this great Eye is awake,
There is an Eye watching you.
See? You remember the song? [Congregation says, "Yes."--Ed.] Now that is true.
