<TITLE>20. Par 79-81</TITLE>L-79 All right. One time there was a fellow by the name of Jehoshaphat that went...?... out into the wilderness. And as they went out, they forgot to take a compass with them, and...?... they went out without consulting the Lord and they got in some trouble. You just start out without consulting the Lord about something, you get in trouble too. So they got in trouble.
And they found out, they was out there seven days; they didn't have anything to eat; the water was all dried up. Sure...?... nothing for them eat or drink. They had...?... or perish. So one of them happened to think that God's got a provided way for this. They said, "Isn't there a prophet somewhere that we could consult the Lord?"
They said, "Yes, there's Elisha down, he poured hands on--poured water on Elijah's hands."
"Oh, if he had anything to do with Elijah, it would... Elijah was a real prophet. So we'll go down and see him."
So here...?... come to the prophet. He seen this idolator's son coming up, so he kinda got blowed up, and...?... and said, "What are you...?... for?...?... you come down to me for?" Oh, he got raw about it, you know, kinda tore up. Said, "Why do we go...?... Why don't you go down to the mother church? That's where...?... like that...?... He said, "If I didn't respect the presence of Jehoshaphat, I wouldn't even look at you." Now, he got all stewed up, said, "Play me some music."

L-80 So they got to playing the music, the...?... Now, listen. If you can't be the prophet, you can be one of the instruments, you know, that plays the music to bring the Spirit down on the prophet. You know I mean. So they begin to play...?... so forth, beat the drums and play the instruments, and oh, they begin to beat and play...?...
There will be a meeting in the air,
In the sweet, sweet, by and by,
God's own Son will be the leading One,
At the meeting in the air.
The prophet begin to get into the Spirit. And the first thing you know, when he got in the Spirit, things begin to happen.
That's what's the matter we can't get anywhere today; we don't get the Spirit of it. That's it. That's right...?... Yes. You got to get in the Spirit of it.
They begin to get to clapping their hands and really having a good time, and the Spirit of God begin to fall on the prophet. His Spirit got on the prophet; then he begin to see things. You'll go to seeing things when you get in the Spirit.

L-81 They begin to get in the Spirit, just now getting in God's provided way to see what's going to happen. He said, "Go out yonder and start digging some ditches, 'cause we're going get some water from...?..."
I can see them get the shovels and start digging. One guy said, "Oh, my. Why, that's something...?... look...?... that's the water you're going get. Just pitch the thing out and keep on digging, like that.
One of them say, "Well, I... Mrs. Jones...?... there is no such thing Divine healing." Pitch the...?... out and keep on digging.  The bigger the--bigger the ditch you dig, the more water you'll get.
"Why, I don't see any signs. I don't see sign of healing; I don't see this." You ain't dug your ditch yet. That's what's the matter. That's what's the matter tonight, you haven't got your ditches dug. Brother, let's take the shovels, and dig a ditch...?...
"... see any signs. There ain't going to be any rain. There ain't going to be any this, the, or the other...?..." Glory, hallelujah.
What I think tonight that West Palm Beach needs is a good old fashion, Holy Ghost revival, preaching the infallible...?... that'll jump on these preachers around here that's half backslid in your heart, get out yonder and get right with right with God, and they'll have an old fashion revival. Amen...?... That's right.
Brother, that's what this nation needs today; that's what this country needs today, is for jealousy and petty larceny to get out...?... Amen. Right. Come back to God. Brother...?... hard to take. I know it's deep home.
