<TITLE>06. Par 49-58</TITLE>L-49 Now, God's promise to Noah won't work for us today. God's promise to--to Moses, we couldn't have Moses' Message. Moses couldn't a-had Noah's message. We got the Message of the hour. We couldn't have had Luther's message. We couldn't have had Wesley's message. This is another time. God has allotted His Word to each age. And as that age comes along, He sends someone there to vindicate that Word, to prove that that's true. And now we see in each one then, just like what Jesus said when He was on earth, He said, "You build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers put them in there."

L-50   Now, my people are Catholic, as you know, being an Irishman. Now we... Now they--they talk about Saint Patrick, the Catholics claim him. Well, he's just about as much Catholic as I am. They talk about Joan of Arc. They burnt that girl to the stake, for a witch, we all know that, because she was spiritual and seen visions. Course, a couple a hundred years later, they dug up them priests' body, and done penitence, and throwed them in the river. But that ain't what it takes, see.

L-51 They always miss it. Man is forever praising God for what He did do, looking forward for what He will be, and ignoring what He is doing. That's just the nature of man. And he hasn't changed his nature, the man of the world.

L-52   So we find that our Message is, today, the Message that we have, of, "Come out of Babylon, and be free, and--and be filled with the Spirit, and your lamps trimmed and clear, and, look up, our redemption is drawing near," these things are foreign to many people who breathe and call our lovely Lord's Name.

L-53 But yet in the midst of all that, we don't have nothing against those people, those denominational people. They're alright, they're fine. They're our--they're our associates in the Gospel, because Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him. And--and all the Father hath given Me, they will come."

L-54 So, we're only responsible for sowing Seeds. Some fell by the wayside, some different kinds of ground, some fell over and brought a hundredfold. So, we are just Seed sowers. God is the One Who directs It when It's falling. And now we pray that maybe, this morning, there would be a little Seed drop along somewhere, that might encourage someone. And just as a--a--a man...

L-55   To finish my testimony concerning the little lady that I was going to speak of. This lady brought this little baby, a little boy, I guess, about ten, twelve years old, and maybe not that old, 'cause this woman was packing him. And she handed him over. And just then, while I was offering prayer for the child, the little fellow jumped out of my arms and went running down the platform, of about thirty-five hundred or four thousand people. And when they did, first thing they ever seen done, the mother, sitting on the front seat, just fainted and pitched over. And a little Amish girl...

L-56 Are you acquainted with the Amish? I don't know whether you have them out here, long hair, they're very sweet people, and very clean and nice type. You know, in all the Mennonites, or Amish, and so forth, we've not got one record of a juvenile delinquent. Call them funny if you want to, but we--we got something lacking in our homes, that they have. They haven't one record in the courts, of a--of a juvenile misbehavior coming among them. They bring up their children, just in one way, and that's the way they go.

L-57   And this young lady was a famous pianist, a beautiful young woman, and long, blond hair fixed up in the back. And when she looked across... Now, she was Amish, she knowed nothing about Pentecost, and neither did I. But when she looked across the platform, and seen that little boy going, walking across there, she threw up her hands in the air.

L-58 Now, I know there is fanaticism, and I hope I'm not prone. I--I am not a liar. And I--I'm not. If I'm wrong, I--I am not willfully wrong, I'm ignorantly wrong.
