<TITLE>18. Par 178-189</TITLE>L-178 But, remember, at the Day of the Judgment, you're going to answer for committing adultery. Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart," and you presented yourself to him. See how the Devil has got them blinded? It's a disgrace. It's a shame. You see, they--they got a spirit. It's a spirit that does that. It's an unholy spirit.

L-179 But a genuine Holy Spirit will make a woman dress decently and look holy.

L-180   My wife said to me, one time. We was going down the street, and we found a woman with a dress on, back in our country. It was a very strange thing, see, not too many Pentecostals back there. So, we find out she had a dress on. And she said, "Billy," said, "I know some of them women. They sing in choirs down here at these churches."
I said, "Sure."
Said, "Well, and them claim to be Christians?"
I said, "Honey, look. See, we're not..."
Said, "Why do our people?"
I said, "Look, honey, we are not of their--their race at all."
She said, "What?" Said, "They're Americans."
I said, "Yeah, but we're not."
She said, "We're not?"
I said, "No."

L-181 I said, "When I go in Germany, I find a spirit of Germany. When I went in Finland..." At the sauna up there, many of you Finnish know, the women give the men the baths. So, that's just a Finnish spirit. Mighty fine people, but, you find, wherever you go, you find a national spirit.

L-182   You go into a church and watch the pastor, if he's real wild and carrys on, the congregation will be the same. See? They take the spirit of one another instead of the Holy Spirit.

L-183 That's the reason we got so much perverted teaching of the Bible. Instead of coming back to the blueprint, they've taken the spirit of some denomination. See? But the Word is just as foreign to them as It was in the days when Jesus come forth, introducing the real true Gospel. They said, "He's a devil. He's Beelzebub." See? But there you get it.

L-184 And she said, "Well, then, we're not Americans, what are we?"

L-185 I said, "Our Kingdom is of Above." See, we are free, born again. The Kingdom of God is within you. See, act like up There, you're delegates from There. I said, "We're citizens here, living here in the flesh. But, our Spirit, we are pilgrims and strangers." We are foreign to the world now, even our own nation, for we have accepted the invitation when it knocked at our heart, to become part of Him, His Word. And the Word fixes us, makes us live and makes us act like Christians.

L-186   Sometime ago, in the South, a little story. There was a king... or, a buyer. They sold slaves. That was in time of--of segregation, and they had slaves in the South. They was a... They'd go by and buy them, just like you would a used car, off of a lot.

L-187 Now, I am an integrationist, absolutely... I mean a segregationalist. I am a segregationalist. Because, I don't care how much they argue, you cannot be a Christian and be an integrationist. That's exactly right. God even separates His nations. He separates His people. "Come out from among them!" He's a... He is a segregationalist. "Don't even... Touch not their unclean things!" He pulled Israel, that Jewish race, out of every, all the races in the world. He is a segregationalist.

L-188 But I don't believe that any man is to be a slave. God made man; man made slaves. I don't believe one should rule over other, any race, color, or anything.

L-189 But there is a segregation, the Bride of Christ is segregated from the rest of the churches, and that's exactly right: church natural, and the Church spiritual; church carnal, the Church the Word. It always has been. "Jesus came to His own, His own received Him not; but as many as received Him!"
