<TITLE>09. Par 67-74</TITLE>L-67 You know, it got, here not long ago... There can't be nothing happen, a cause, without a reason. The women want to strip their clothes off. They wanted to wear shorts. They wanted to still belong to church. They wanted to wear all these 'kinis', or ever what you call the things. They want to do that, and they want to still belong to church; they want to scream, holler, and dance; worship, that's a worship.

L-68   Now, if I had time, I'd prove that to you. That is a devil worship, dancing like that and doing those things. I can prove it to you, in the heathen lands. They wanted to worship, and maintain their testimony and still remain in church. So God give them a nut, two or three of them; one named Elvis Presley; one, Pat Boone, and Ernie Ford; can sing hymns and everything else, and still claim to be a Christian. It's a nut. It's not threaded to the Word. Right.
Now, I said I'd be through in a half hour, and it's up. But, listen.

L-69 The world wants a nut. The Devil sees they get it. They're already threaded for it.
But, while the world is being threaded for a nut, there is a people called the Bride. It's threaded, too. Just as sure as I'm standing here, God will send them a nut that'll pull the Bride out of this chaos, into the Presence of God. It'll be a Word-threaded nut.

L-70   A critic, a few days ago, said to me, down in Tucson. He said, "You know, some people make you a nut, and others make you a god."
I said, "Well, that kind of runs all right." I knowed he's trying to criticize me. See?

L-71 He said, "People think you're a god."

L-72 I said, "Well, just..." I know the people didn't do that. But I--I knowed he didn't understand it, because he was on the other side of the skin, you see. So I knowed he didn't, he didn't know it. So I said, "That's not too far away from the Word of God. Is it?"
See, just let him--just let him know that we wasn't lost. We knowed where we were standing. We know what kind of sails we had set, and what kind of wind was blowing it. We know what our thread was, and what our nut was. And we know how we're standing.
I said, "That's not contrary to the Word of God, so much. Is it?" I said, "Remember, when God was sending Moses down to the children of Israel, God made Moses a god, that's right; and made, also, Aaron his brother, a prophet. That's right. 'All the prophets,' Jesus said, 'were gods.' They were gods; man." That's right. God means it that way.

L-73   Listen, the Word that we preach and the word that I said this morning, "God hiding behind skins, badger skins, God hiding behind the skin of a man." See? That's what He did. When God was manifest in the world, He was hiding behind a veil, behind a skin of a Man called Jesus. He was veiled and hiding behind the skin of a man called Moses, and they were gods, not Gods; but they were God, the one God, just changing His mask, doing the same thing each time, bringing this Word. See, God made it that way. He knows that man has got to see something; there is in every one of us born into the world.

L-74   Like I was telling you this morning, nobody was daresn't to follow Moses in there. God never did deal with two. He deals with one, always. No one was daresn't to impersonate Moses. It was death, natural death, to try to impersonate him, to go in that Pillar of Fire with him. So people are not all made... You're not born in that way, to break out into that supernatural.
But God set some on the earth to represent Him, as an ambassador from Him. And that ambassador is ordained, of God, to go into the great unknown supernatural, and discern, and bring out things that the natural mind cannot perceive it. It brings out the mystery of God, foretells things that is, and things that has been, and things that will be. What is it? God, God behind skins, human skin. Exactly right.
