<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 He said, "What we need today, is some more prophets like Elijah." Said, "Elijah didn't have to have any vision for anything." Said, "Glory to God," said, "he went out there and built an altar," and said, "now you come on up here." And said, "We'll prove who is God." He said, he come up there and said, "Bring your bullocks," and walked up-and-down the... Made fun of Baalim.
And said, "Surely, there's a God." Walked out there, they was... Saying, "Come on." Said, "Let's see what he can do." He knew where he was.
And said, "He... we need some more prophets like that today."
I said, "Well, if there was any prophets, they'd be like that. But I..."
He said, "Elijah didn't wait to see no vision."
I said, "Just a minute, Brother Lindsay," or excuse, it was Gordon Lindsay is who it was; I might as well say it. All right. I didn't aim to say that.
But he said, "We need some prophets like that."

L-31 I said, "Brother Lindsay, you fail to see the Scripture." I said, "You're a teacher, but you fail to see the Scripture. When Elijah had put all these things in order, cut the bullocks up, and poured the water on, he walked out, and said, 'Lord, I've done all of this at Your command.'" Is that right? The Lord had showed him first. That's right.
And no true prophet of God, as Balaam said of old, when he stood down there and he sold and commercialed his gift, that's right, but he was prophet. And he said things that sticks right today, to Israel and so forth. He was a prophet. He said, "How can a prophet speak unless God puts it in his mouth?" If he's going to be true. You've got to say what God says, and you can't say no more; you can't say no less.

L-32 And Jesus said, "I only do what the Father shows Me to do." Is that right? Now, He said, "He will show you greater than the healing of this diabetic that you might marvel. But I only do what He tells Me."
Now, if He is the same, yesterday, today, and forever, then today, it's only... Now, we see what He done. And now, looky, let's watch just a little bit. Look when His ministry first started. The first thing right out of the box, they started services, and here was a little fellow by the name of Nathanael, or Philip. He come and got saved, and he run over to a place where he found one of his friends setting down under a tree, or kneeling under a tree some way, praying.
He said, "Come, see Who we found. Jesus of Nazareth, the One that Moses spoke of."
He said, "Could..." Now, the man was honest in heart. He said, "Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
He said, "You come and see."

L-33 So here was Jesus had the prayer line. We'd say it was a prayer line, whatever condition He was in, the Bible doesn't quote. But when he came to Jesus, when Jesus seen him coming, He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
That shocked him quickly. "How did He know me?" Said, "Whence knowest thou Me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree. I saw you."
Now, he didn't step back and say, "Now, wait a minute. Are You reading my mind? Is that mental telepathy? Are You--You Beelzebub?" See? He just run, and fell at His feet, and said, "Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel." God blessed him, his name's immortal today. Is that right? See?
