MUSINA | Ezekiel (6): A Watchman's Burden: Standing Between God And The People - 050726M

144 17th verse says: Because thou sayest, I am rich,…increased in goods, and have need for nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, (Oh!)…knowest not that thou art wretched,…miserable,…poor,…blind, and naked: (Hmm! Hmm!) 145 They thought they were “rich,” this Pentecostal in this last-age churches. They thought…And outwardly they were. Yes, sir. They are rich. Just think of the church, used to be a few years ago, stood out on the corner, cast about from place to place, had a hard time. But now they got some of the biggest buildings there is. 146 You see where the Assemblies of God out here, that used to have their place in an ordinary wooden building, something like this here, and now they’re putting up a six-million-dollar building, and they say, “Jesus is coming right away.” Your works prove that you don’t believe that. It’s hypocrisy! Building million-dollar buildings and things like that, and saying, “Jesus is coming right away.” And poor missionaries on the field, without shoes on their feet, real God-fearing missionaries, no shoes on their feet, and live off of two rations of rice a week; eat two times a week to pack the Gospel through jungles and things like that, to take It to their brethren. And we building six-million-dollar buildings, and the church with big, stained glass windows, and everything else, and putting it on that. Oh, you even got so much money till sometimes they got loan associations right in their churches. That’s right! 147 Doctor in there to examine their evangelists or their missionaries. And somebody wants to go to the field, they give him a doctor’s examination to see if he…or psychiatrist, to see if he’s…oh, if he’s mentally got his IQ’s right, you see. The Holy Ghost examines that, you don’t need a psychiatrist. 148 “But, rich and have need of nothing.” Oh, sure. You got plenty of money. Outwardly, plenty rich; have large buildings, stained glass windows. 149 And eloquent preachers! Oh, my. My, I’ll tell you, hmm, they’re really eloquent. They can stand and talk all night, and say nothing. See? When they come up…I mean about things they oughtn’t to say, you see. Stand up, and some of this stuff, and talk about a little so-and-so and this so-and-so. And you know how it is. Paid singers. That’s right. All right. But, come into the pulpit, eloquent preachers. If they aren’t dressed in a tuxedo suit with a collar turned around, and some kind of a frock-tail coat on, why, their congregation feels real embarrassed. 150 And those singers come out there, them women, short bobbed hair like Jezebel, enough paint on their face to paint a barn. Soon as they get that robe off, they wear shorts and men’s clothes, and the Bible said, “If a woman puts on a garment pertains to a man, it’s abomination in His sight.” Walk down the street with their nose up, if it’d rain it’d drown them. Smart alecks, arrogant, high-tempered Jezebels! That’s the reason we ain’t in no revival, it’s a big piece of machinery work. 151 Oh, might have a voice like an archangel, and God will make you answer for that! These Elvis Presleys and so forth, and Ernie Fords, or ever what they call them out here with these fine voices and using them for the devil, God said, “I’ll require that at their hands.” 152 That’s the reason I respect blind Fanny Crosby; she never sold her gift out to the world. She kept it with God. 153 Many of these people are eloquent singers, eloquent men, great men, and so forth, instead of using their talent for God, the devil’s perverted them and they’re over there working for him. Personalities, radio and television personalities, selling theirself out, out there for the world instead of giving it to God. Some of them come to church, go to church, wear a big fine robe, come out there and sing like that, and go right back and sing rock-and-roll the next night. Such as singers that we know of, belong to certain churches, get out there and make them pictures, them movie pictures, get out there and sing rock-and-rolls. The kings of rock-and-roll, and claim to be religious! It’s a trick of the devil! 154 One man had enough—enough good common sense up here. That said he was going to be a preacher, he’d get on Sunday morning and preach, and then he’d go down there on…and get on the radio broadcast and sing rock-and-roll songs and everything like that, so he finally took a pistol and blowed his brains out. I respect the man for doing it. That’s right. That’s right. He—he had more…He had as much sense as them hogs did, anyhow, when they got the devil in them they run down to the water and choked ....161 60-1211E - The Laodicean Church Age Rev.
