<TITLE>01. Par 1-7</TITLE>64-0215, Influences, Elliott Auditorium, Tulare, CA, 75 min
L-1      That's right. I think we ought to stand when we read His Word. Don't you think so? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] So let's stand just a moment, as we read His Word. I'm reading, tonight, for a Scripture lesson found in the Book of Isaiah, the 6th chapter. Listen closely.
In the days of the king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high... lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
And one cried unto the other, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD God of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips;... thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin is purged.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and whom will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

L-2   Let us bow our heads now.

L-3 Father, "woe," we feel the same way that Isaiah felt, "Woe is us! For our eyes have seen the King, the Lord of Glory." We thank Thee, Lord, that there is a cleansing process, tonight, that can touch not only our lips but our hearts and our souls, and cleanse us from all of our uncleansedness. For it is, truly, we dwell among people with unclean lips, and our lips, also, is unclean. We pray that the great Holy Spirit will come and touch our lips and our hearts with anointing, the Fire of the Holy Spirit from the altar of God, and cleanse us from all of our unbelief and doubts, that He might come in and make His abode with us. For, we love Him, and we adore Him, and we worship Him. We pray, Father, tonight, if there is any here that hasn't yet had that cleansing touch of the great Holy Spirit, the Fire of God, that this night that this work will be wrought in them for the Kingdom of God's sake. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
May be seated.

L-4   Now I'm... will try to be out early. I don't want you to miss Sunday school. Now, it's all right for you to miss a day's work, you won't miss that too much; but keep you till nine-thirty, or something, on the other night. But don't miss Sunday school, whatever you do.
Now my subject tonight is: Influences.

L-5   We want to read this story, we should turn to Second Chronicles, the 26th chapter, and you could read it. This Uzziah was a shepherd boy. And he, Second Chronicles 26 tells us, he was anointed king at the age of sixteen. And Uzziah's father, a godly man. And this man was a good man, having godly parents, "He did that which was right in the sight of the Lord." Now we find that usually...

L-6   I--I think today, our great problem, of what we believe to be juvenile delinquency, is a parent delinquent, a home delinquent. Our--our people got away from the things that they--they should have stayed with. The church got lukewarm or cold, and the--the children got out into the world.

L-7 Now Hollywood puts out lots of movies and--and televisions, and so forth, that even uncensored, where they curse and--and--and use God's Name in vain. And--and it used to be it was wrong for the children in the holiness churches to go to--to--to bioscopes or picture shows, and now Satan got one jump ahead, by bringing it right in the house, in the form of television, and then uncensored, and--and so forth. And that's the Satan's way of gradually entering in.
