<TITLE>04. Par 16-20</TITLE>L-16 Now, everybody kept quiet. After while one of them with the spirit of discernment would say, "I believe that was the Lord," and another one... Now remember, your word's at stake, the other'd say, "I believe it was of the Lord."
All right. It's put down. That's put on my desk. I'm in the room praying all the time. All right. Then the next thing you know somebody spoke in tongues and give a message, said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, have Brother Henry Jones to move away from the place where he is at, because there's some large trees standing there, for THUS SAITH THE LORD tomorrow afternoon about two o'clock, there's coming a hurricane, going to blow all those trees down. Have him to be out of the way. It's THUS SAITH THE LORD."

L-17 It had to be to someone, a message to the Church. Now, then they--one of the interpreters or one of the men with the discernment said, "I believe it's of the Lord." The other one say, "I believe it's of the Lord."
Well, if they would do that, then they put it down, put it on the desk. Then when I come out just before the service started, I read these messages off to the church. It already had their names signed for the discernment, that said that they was from the Lord.
Brother Henry Jones got away as quick as he could, and--and we watched for the woman. If she didn't come, or the storm didn't come, then I made them every one get to the altar and get that evil spirit away from them. That's right. It's not right. God don't speak lies. He tells the Truth. See? God tells the Truth. So that's what I found amongst the people, so much of it.

L-18 Here in California not long ago, I was fixing to make an altar call, and a lady raised up and begin speaking in tongues, just broke the altar call to pieces.
Now, I don't say this--but the... well the... Then some woman got way back over there and give some kind of a sign, "And all of you be ready. The Lord's coming" and so forth. We know that. That wasn't nothing directed.
So then I never said nothing. It wasn't my meeting. So then the next couple days after that, she met Billy Paul out there. She said, "Tell your daddy to get ready when he goes to give his life story, 'cause I've got another message I've got to give."

L-19 Now, that won't work. Now, that's flesh. I don't condemn the person, but I condemn the--the way they're using the gifts of God. If they're used correctly, they're the most marvelous things there is, but if you don't use them right, it'll bring a disgrace to the Church.
So we must be led of the Spirit, and when we're led of the Spirit, then God makes everything work just exactly in harmony.
Now, if they give this message, and I give it out, and the lady comes in. Here she is. Everybody's wondering where she's at. After while here she comes in, packing her in on a stretcher; I know exactly what to do. The Holy Spirit has done spoke. Go lay hands on her. She's going to be healed. That's exactly what happened.

L-20 Then the next thing--next day, Brother Henry Jones gets away from those big trees, or away from the railroad track, where they're going to have a wreck, or he doesn't go down to this corner for a certain thing, or whatever it is. And the next day we see it happen perfectly that way, then we say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus, for warning us. We love You because You're with us, and You're showing Your signs and wonders; and we love You and we adore You, and we just pour out to You the whole adoration of our heart for being so good to us." See?
Now, if those gifts are used right, they're to edify the Church. When you let one come in unlearned and watch and see what happens that way, you'll find out it'll--shivers run up his back, and he will go getting right with God then.
