<TITLE>27. Par 219-226</TITLE>L-219   Women, let your hair grow. Sister, please take off them dirty clothes. Throw them cigarettes away. For the hour will come, that, "He that's filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that's righteous, let him be righteous still. He that's inside is inside; he that's outside is outside." The little, close margin, "If a righteous man will scarcely be saved, where will the sinner and the ungodly," the Truth-denier, you know, "where will they appear?"
Let us bow our heads.

L-220 Now, in the Light of this hour that we're now living, the Light of the day that we're now living in; precious and beloved ones, you who come from different states across the country, let us now, and me with you, on this altar, let us take inventory. How is the Spirit of God in our hearts today? Remember, it's that Spirit, uncondemned, uncontaminated; any church doctrine, and everything, is gone completely.

L-221   You would be daresn't to, try to add to That or take from It. For, if you do try to put the interpretation on It, yourself, your part is taken from the Book of Life. Are you trying to say something that the Spirit hasn't said? Are you trying to make It sound like It said something? Or, you just take It exactly what It said, and leaving It like that? Are you splicing, cutting, taping, doing things that's not right? Have you?

L-222 Say, "Well, I just don't feel like I should do this. Or, maybe, I--I--I know my church don't believe It. 'That's just one man's word about It.'"
That one Man is God. The Bible here says you should not cut your hair. These... Bible said that. "It shall come to pass that women will wear garments like man, and how they would be an abomination to God." How the Holy Spirit spoke through it, this humble, unworthy vessel that just happened to be standing present in the age that the great King said, "Here is My sepulcher... My Word. Here is My Scepter, rather. Take My Scepter, and go forth, and bring the Message."

L-223   I know the denominations tried to stop It, and turn It out, and run It out, and kick It out, and everything. But, by the grace of God, I'm on my road, screaming from nation to nation, from place to place, from church to church, "Come out of it!" It's unpopular, but It's the Truth.

L-224 Will you receive It in the--in the--the Spirit that It's wrote in? Will you receive It in the Spirit that It's been given in? If you haven't as yet... We no room for an altar; your heart is the altar. Would you raise up your hand, say, "God, be merciful to me. Let the Spirit of God come into me, condemning me now of all my sins, and frustrations, all my bad habits, and high tempers, and fusses, and fights, and stews, and everything I've had. And I know something, that my spirit isn't mellow for Heaven. Make me mellow, Lord, in this last moment. This may be the last sermon I'll ever hear. This may be the last time I'll ever hear the Message. I raise my hand. God, be merciful to me."

L-225 God bless you. Dozens of hands. Now, just for a moment of silent prayer for you. You who raise your hand, shows you're still interested. Looks to me like the Spirit is still calling to someone.

L-226   Dear God, Thou Who knows all things. And You made all things for the purpose of all things, for, some had to be condemned, some had to be blinded; some, "like the potter that made the vessel," as Paul said, "one to honor and the other to dishonor." The one was made to dishonor, was only to show forth the one that was to be honored. But isn't it in the hand of the Potter to do what He will? Isn't it in the predestinated plan of God, to call? "Who He foreknew, He has called. Them Who He called, He justified. And those Who He justified, He has glorified."
