<TITLE>11. Par 89-97</TITLE>L-89   Notice, a man looking at her pretty red lips and painted face, and shorts and--and bikinis, and ever what she's got; a real thinking man won't look at her. Now, a man that's a church member will look at her, admire her. But I don't care how she looks to the eye, a thinking man will turn his head. Why? He's been through God's Filter, and he knows to look upon her is adultery in his heart. He don't think she's pretty.
Say, "Isn't she a pretty thing!"
Not to him it isn't. She's a filthy-looking, miserable Jezebel wretch, to a thinking man. A son of God looks upon her with shame that he even belongs to the family she belongs to. That's right. "How could that be my sister and act like that?"

L-90 See, she pulled through one filter, and he come through another. He won't think she's pretty, not at all. That's not beauty to a real man of God.

L-91   Remember, one time before the Blood of Jesus Christ become the Filter, as we'll get to in a few minutes, "The sons of God looked upon the daughters of man, that they were fair, and taken unto them wives." God never did forgive it. Again it happened, in the march of Israel, and God never did forgive them. Every one of them perished.
A thinking man's Filter!
I come out of the meeting here; there was a little ricky standing back here behind the church one night, said to me, about three or four years ago, said, "The reason you say that, you're an old man." Said, "I think they look nice."
I said, "I can imagine that." From just the looks of him, you can tell what he looked like. I said, "Let me tell you something. How old are you?"
"About thirty years old."

L-92 I said, "When I was fifteen years younger than you, I thought the same thing." Right. And it's still filth!

L-93   A thinking man's Filter! Now notice, if he has been, his mind filtered through the Word of God, God's Filter, he won't look upon her. He won't think she's pretty; he'll think she's a Jezebel. He'll think, behind those red lips is poison fangs that would sting him. And the Bible said, "Her gates is the gates of hell; and a man walks into them like an ox going to his slaughter." There's a thinking man's Filter.

L-94 What do you desire? When the woman comes down the street dressed like that, and you man turn your head, gaze around like that, you're not using a thinking man's Filter. Because, when you do that, you are committing adultery, for the Filter said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already." Turn your head, thinking man. Get away from her. She's not pretty. She's a serpent; that's right, twists like one, acts like one, stings like one. Keep away from her.

L-95   Oh, yes, the Word of God is a thinking man's Filter. Anyone knows that. That's what your soul is filtered through, the Word of God. And It makes, when you come through God... When a thinking man comes through God's Filter, it gives him a holy man's taste. That's right. When you come through God's Filter, then your taste is a holy man's taste. It makes a righteous man's taste. The slogan certainly is okay.

L-96 Now we find out how this was done in a type, in Israel, for the congregation of Israel only. That's the reason, speaking this now, if ministers disagree on anything that's said; this is for my congregation that the Lord has given me to--to preach to.

L-97   Notice in Exodus 19, I want you to read it when you go home, when you have more time. Notice, when Israel had committed sin, first they took a red heifer which had never had a yoke on her neck. That means she never was yoked up with anything.
