<TITLE>10. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 I remember one night I got called down on that. I said, "All you Christians set where the sinners are. Just like smallpox, it'll break out all over you." About two nights after that, in the same tent revival, back when I was just still in the Baptist revivals, this little woman got up with her hair combed back so slick her face was shining like a peeled onion; she said, "I've heard preachers say, "Set next to you, so it would 'rub off.'" She said, "Bless God, it never rubbed off on me." Said, "I paid the price like the rest of them did and got it." I thought, "Oh, my... Let me keep still." That's right. It don't rub off; you have to be willing to receive it.

L-25 But Elisha had poured water on Elijah's hands. What a marvelous prophet. He had a double portion. I like that, Elijah and Elisha in type. Let's type it a minute. Look. Elijah, the old prophet, represented Christ. Elisha, the church--represents the church, the young prophet. Now, when they started, I want you to notice their journey. When Elisha found Elijah, he was working in the field. He took his mantle and threw over him, and said, "Follow me," and he killed the ox, made a feast to the poor and followed Elisha. And when Elisha said, "I've got to go up to Dothan." So when he went, started up, he told the young prophet, said, "You stay back."
He said, "As the Lord lives and your soul never dies, I'll not leave you." I like that: stay right with it. And he went on up.
And he said, "Now, you stay here. I've got to go up to the school of the prophets." Second stage of the journey.

L-26 First stage: Martin Luther stage: first stage of the journey. Second stage was the school of the prophet. Elijah went up there and he said to Elisha, " Now, you stay here, I pray thee, for the Lord is calling me to Jordan.
But Elisha was really a prophet. He said, "As the Lord lives and your soul never dies, I'll not leave you." I like that. Second stage of the journey on... God always has did that.
Notice, then he said, "I'm going to Jordan." And Elisha...
Some of this prophets there at the school said, "Do you know your master's head will be taken from you today?"
He said, "I know it, but hold your peace." He knew what was going to take place, so he followed him. And he got down to Jordan, perfect type of the church. The first stage of the journey was justification through Martin Luther: Dothan. Second stage of the journey with John Wesley, at the school of the prophet, sanctification. Now, he's going to Jordan, dying out time. Jordan means death, passing over. We're entering out of all church ages.

L-27 I know I have Methodists, Baptists, and everything setting here. I have not one thing against you. God knows my heart; you're my brothers, same as any of the rest of them. And I am a member of the Baptist church myself. But I just found something good. I'm trying to tell you about, something that goes just a little deeper. You say, "Is there deeper?" Certainly. And still more deeper coming. Don't get crystallized.
In the old journey of the children of Israel, every time they watched that Pillar of Fire. Is that right? And when that Pillar of Fire stopped, they stopped and built under It. They were under the Fire. And then, they was a thousand priests. Watch that. And every time that Pillar of Fire would move, if it was ten o'clock in the day, ten o'clock at night, noon time, whenever it was, they blasted these trumpets and Israel broke camp and followed the Light. Is that right? All right.
