SATAN MAKES YOU SILENT THE VOICE OF GOD THAT IS WARNING YOU, SO THAT YOU THAT HE CAN LET YOU FALL TO TRAP THAT HE SET FOR YOU 104 Years ago, as a kid, as you all are, here, cattle ranch above here, above Phoenix. I was reading a piece, of prospect, a paper about a prospector. Then, there was no roads through here then, just little sand paths. They still do a lot of prospecting in here, you know.
105 But this prospector had come in, and he had found a lot of money, and struck a lot of gold. And on his road in, he stayed in a cabin he had found. And he had a dog with him, and, the—the dog, tied up on the outside. And that night, there had been an outlaw following him, to get this gold. He had picked it up in the old Spanish mines, and he was coming in with it. And the dog started barking.
106 And the man didn't want to be bothered with that dog. He said, "Shut up." He said, "Tomorrow, I'll take this in, to—to the city." And I'll… The morals of the story was this. "And I'll have it weighed up, and I'll be a rich man. And I'll buy great cars. And I'll have all kinds of women and big parties. And I'll be a rich man, because I've already struck the claim. I've got the gold here, much of it." And said, "I'll…"
107 And while he was trying to go to sleep, the dog kept barking, because the dog seen the outlaw coming up, slipping up, waiting for the prospector to go to sleep.
108 He raised up again, and screamed at the dog again, said, "Shut up." And the poor dog whined and tried to warn his master that danger was lurking—lurking. And when he…
109 The next time, when the dog started barking, the prospector had a shotgun. He didn't want to be bothered, so he just raised up and shot the dog. And the prospector was killed that night, by the outlaw. All of his fancy dreams done him no good. Why? He stilled the voice that was warning him.
110 There's nobody can try to do anything, you kids, would never be able to do anything wrong, after being raised the way you are, unless you would feel Something tell you not to do it. Now, don't never still that Voice that's warning you.
111 And always remember, accept that Voice that said, "Follow Me," and you'll always come out right. I believe you will. I got confidence in you. But just always remember that Jesus, that Voice, is alive in the earth tonight.
