(Tape starts slow speed)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/b> I said it\u2019s your what? You\u2019re not a concubine. If you\u2019re a concubine, you\u2019re not a wife<\/i>. That means your mistress<\/i>, your kept<\/i> woman, not a legal wife. And I can go through that and through that and through that and through that, you can get facts\u2013 one place you got the devil numbering Israel, and the other place it said God<\/i> numbered Israel. (Pause) Say, why do you tell me this? I don\u2019t need to tell you that, \u2018cause some of you won\u2019t think it wouldn\u2019t bother you one way or the other. But your children<\/i> are gonna think, and the young people you influence are gonna think, and when you hold up that black book, they\u2019re gonna ask you some questions, and you better have some good answers. But there\u2019s one thing you cannot deny, when they come up. Say, I can tell you\u2013 I can show you (voice rises) a man that showed me all things<\/i> that I had ever done<\/i>, that knew nothing about me, but told me the thoughts<\/i> of my mind<\/i>, I can show you that God<\/i> is still working in the church<\/i>, that God is still healing the sick, that God is still ministering to the needs of man. (Pause) (Voice moderates) That they can\u2019t deny. Come in, they see cripple like that woman that we saw with her hands, I mean bent like that, and her legs bent\u2013 her legs bent under, and just straightened it out. (Ministerial fervor) Nobody<\/i>, no atheist, no agnostic, no communist, no fascist, nobody will be able to deny<\/i> what they see with their own eyes<\/i>. You gonna testify to that which you see and hear, not what somebody says is in the Bible, but you\u2019ll testify to that which you see and you hear, and you have seen the lame walk, you have seen the blind see, you have seen the cancers come out through this building even today. What you talkin\u2019 about? God is here.<\/p>\n

(Applause)<\/p>\n

Voices:<\/b> Yeah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/b> (Voice moderates) (unintelligible) (Pause) I shall finish on that. I\u2019ve said enough. Take the booklet [The Letter Killeth<\/a>]. (unintelligible away from mike) finish this anyway, \u2018cause it\u2019ll be too much for you. What\u2019ll happen is, you go home, and uh\u2013 you\u2019ll be afraid that you\u2019re not (unintelligible as mike comes back on) manifest the fullness of the spirit of God, and the temptation is to go back to the security of mother\u2019s womb, rather than stand on your own feet. Say, I can\u2019t build a church like Jim Jones. I can\u2019t feed the hungry. I can\u2019t heal the sick. I can\u2019t do this. And so you drift back with all the other trespassers. Say, I like the music. (Pause) That\u2019s a poor<\/i> excuse, child. I said, that\u2019s a poor excuse. I hope tomorrow morning that some of you folk, when you drift<\/i> back, and you set<\/i> in those churches, I hope you think real good. I want you to look around at those poor mothers that are in that church and don\u2019t have any home. I want you to look around those children that have not had any place to give them care and comfort. I want you to look<\/i> at that great big old building that has nothing in it but seats<\/i> and a new organ. The organ that we play, I bought with my own money 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, I carried that organ, bought<\/i> that organ, we\u2019ve carried it from Canada to Los Angeles to uh, New York, that same organ still playing because I anointed it with God-given money, I sacrificed to get it, and we don\u2019t need a new organ. You<\/i> don\u2019t need a new organ. (Pause) (Quiet) You know what I\u2019m talkin\u2019 about. All you\u2019ll see tomorrow when you go in is just organs and pianos (Pause) and pews<\/i>, but no place\u2013 (whispers) My God! (Normal tone) No place for the hungry, no place to take care of the strangers\u2013<\/p>\n

Audience:<\/b> (Murmurs)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/b> Shh! Matthew 25 told you how you could find him. Preacher tells you to get ready for the rapture. And he\u2019s gonna rupture you, not rapture you. He\u2019s literally going to rupture your life. That\u2019s what\u2019s going to happen to you. You\u2019re going to be ruptured<\/i> in your spiritual life. \u2018Cause Jesus said, if you want to find me, he said, I am hungry, and you didn\u2019t feed me. I\u2019m naked, and you didn\u2019t clothe me. I\u2019m a stranger, and you didn\u2019t take me in. I\u2019m sick in prison, and you did not come unto me. And those good church trampers will say, when did we see you hungry? And he\u2019ll say, well, I was hungry in an old apartment building in Seattle. I was a poor little child in a Appalachian mine country. I was a poor little black child in some ghetto, I was a poor little Indian child on a reservation, I was hungry<\/i> and you didn\u2019t come to me, he said in that you did it not unto the least of these, you did it not unto me. And he said, depart<\/i> from me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you. You want to find Jesus? That\u2019s how you\u2019ll find him. Look out at ho\u2013\u00a0See around you who\u2019s<\/i> hungry, and you better become God to them, just as he was God to those in the Nazareth (unintelligible word). You\u2019ll have to become a savior<\/i> to those around you, you\u2019ll have to feed the hungry and clothe<\/i> the naked. (Voice rises) If you want to find your God, that\u2019s how you\u2019re gonna have to find him. (Pause) God won\u2019t be found in these stinkin\u2019 churches, having a form of God (unintelligible word) denying the power, and rich, increased of goods and needing nothing, fine organs and fine chancelleries, and fine cymbals and fine clarion bells and plush seats, while all over Seattle and every community in Canada and America, there\u2019s hungry, there\u2019s hungry\u2013 two out of three babies, according to the Washington government, the U.S. government, two out of three babies going to bed hungry, and we\u2019re building a church on every block, and two and three in every block, and some of \u2018em got the same name, and they split over whether you play music in the church, or you don\u2019t play music in the church. (Voice lowers, intensifies) I\u2019ll tell you, I don\u2019t know what a poor sinner\u2019s to do these days. (Pause) One, they got the True Vine Baptists, and the only True Vine Baptists, and the primitive<\/i> Baptists and the pure<\/i> Baptists and the American<\/i> Baptist and the Southern<\/i> Baptist and the Northern<\/i> Baptist, Good God Almighty, we don\u2019t need any more Baptist, we need Jesus (tape distortion)<\/p>\n
