WAY OF A TRUE PROPHET
62-0513 1M No, you don't do
things like that and then have the Holy Ghost.
29-2 Went to... A minister's
wife one time, setting up there with a dress on; it was horrible looking. You
say, "You ain't got no rights." I have got
a right; that's the Word. Preach It all. You bypass those things, a lot of
sissified preachers, because they haven't got the audac...
Maybe they haven't even been called to preach in the first place. That's right.
But a true servant of God will stay right with that Word. That's right.
Minister's wife setting there all squeezed up in a dress with earrings hanging
on, and makeup on, and short bobbed hair, when God condemns the whole thing as
filth. And then saying you got the Holy Ghost? I was preaching here in Phoenix,
not long ago, on something like that; and the minister's wife, setting on the
pulpit with one of these boyish bobbed hair all kinked up, and with a dress
that she couldn't even keep her underneath skirts from shining (couldn't get
down over her knees, was about four or five inches above her knees setting up
there), jumping up-and-down leading songs. I blasted it just as hard as I
could. Course he won't invite me back. I don't expect to, but he knows right
and wrong. When I stand at the judgment, it's not on my hands anymore. Then go
off and say... 29-4 A man, so-called teacher (which I don't say
but he isn't) made a remark the other day before some of my friends at a
certain city I'd been into. You know the brother. And this brother come in; he
said... Well, he said, "We had Brother Branham here once" (a certain
city in--out west). And this man said, "Oh, Brother Branham's a good man
(See? He knowed better than to throw anything on the
character.)," said, "Brother Branham, but don't you listen to his
tapes, because it'll get you confused." And there happened to be one of my
friends standing there said, "Just a minute, sir. I was confused until I
heard the tapes." And that's the difference. Said, "I couldn't
understand how a holy God would put up with such things as that, as you all
do."
216 THE.EVENING.MESSENGER 63-0116 I met a man here not long ago... I don't say
this to be sacrilegious, please forgive me if I'm a--thinking it's making it
sacrilegious. I was at a tent meeting and, the minister, a Pentecostal minister
brought his wife over to play the piano. And when he introduced me to his wife,
honestly, I almost fainted. The woman had real short hair, curled up, and she
had great, big earrings, and enough manicure on her lips, or whatever the stuff
is, fingernails painted. Looked like she was a... It was horrible looking;
great, big long claws, and like that. And sexy-looking; little, bitty, short
dress on, she couldn't even put it over her knees when she set down. Well, I
stood there a little bit, and I said, "Brother, will I hurt your feelings
if I say something?" He said,
"Why, certainly not." Nice man, and she seemed to be a nice
woman. I said, "Do you say your
wife is a saint?" Said,
"Yes." I said, "Excuse
the expression, but she looks like a `hain't' to
me." I said "That's true, or something like that." I
said... He said, "What do you
mean, Brother Branham?" "Oh," he said, "you're of the old
school." I said, "I'm of the
school of the Scripture. That's right, the school of the Scripture." I
don't believe that a saint acts like that, I just can't do it, when the Bible
so condemns it. See?
27-1
MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
65-0221.1M What is a lie? Is the truth perverted. What is an adultery?
Is the right act perverted. So there is the perverted creature; there is the
perverted whole thing. And the whole thing is spelled s-i-n.
Laying right there... That's why the question's so great. Only a piece, scrap,
made of a man, to deceive him by, God made it. Right here has proved it. That's
what she was made for. An immoral woman is the lowest thing that can be thought
of in the earth. Excuse this, young ladies. She's nothing but a human garbage
can, a "sex exposal." That's all she is. A immoral woman is a human
sexual garbage can, a pollution where filthy, dirty, ornery, lowdown filth is
disposed by her. Why's she made this way for? For deception. Every sin that
ever was on the earth was caused by a woman. And a analyst just from Chicago,
a--a woman wrote this article, of the police force, that they chased down in
United States (metropolitan United States) that ninety-eight percent of every
crime that was ever did in any form in the United States, there was either a
woman in it or behind it. Now, I'm saying all this to get to one thing here at
the end so that you can see what's the matter. 27-5 She was made to deceive like she did Adam
at the beginning, telling him that the fruit was pleasant and so forth to
deceive him and take him away from the Word. That's the way the church does
today: same thing. But then, after that, he become her ruler, to rule over
her. Now, what a difference in this day
and this day of conception. Instead of him being her ruler, she has become his
god. Sure. She rules him. Now, you can kinda well
understand what I've been hitting at. By her beauty and her sex control, her
shape that was given to her by Satan (the byproduct that Satan did), she is
sent to deceive sons of God, and she can sway more of them to hell than any
other instrument Satan's got. That's exactly right. (I'm talking of the immoral
now, not you sisters. We'll give you your place, right place, in a few minutes
in the Word of God here.) It was in God's plan from the beginning. Now, to do
this today... What is the god of the United States? You remember the tabernacle
years ago, I preached on that, The God of This Modern Day? A little flapper
setting there with make-up on, and dress pulled up over her knees, and
things like. I said, "Behold, your god." And that's right! She's
on every advertisement, half naked; she's on the street the same way. It's a instrument of Satan. "From the beginning," Jesus
said. See? We see it was so now and--from the beginning and what He's talking
about.
GREAT WARRIOR DAVID 55-0118 E-6
And if Israel had just stayed in that condition, but they said,
"Well, now looky. The rest of the nations has
got a king, so why can't we have a king?" That's what happened to you
Pentecostal people when you thought, "Well, the rest of the churches, they
all go to shows. And they--their women cut their hairs off, and they--they wear
short dresses, and they say they're Christians, why can't we?" There you
are. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Thank you, I'm glad to hear
you say that. Thank you. That's right. An old Methodist preacher used to sing,
"We let down the bars, we compromise with sin; we let down the bars; and
the sheep got out, but how did the goats get in?" You let down the bars,
that's--that's it. That's true. Now, don't think I've got a measuring stick; I
have not. But I--I have seen what the Gospel does to a person when it really
gets a hold of them. It makes you look different, act different, dress
different, walk different, you're different all the way around. That's right.
And just let down the bars once and watch how the goats get in.
