<TITLE>15. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Notice. Now, all these preachers said, "Why, go on up, king. Why sure, the Lord is with you. Why you've took care of us. You've built fine churches. You've made us a great denomination. You're... Why, just look how we've prospered under your money. Why, sure the Lord's with you, king. Go up."
That's the way people are today. They look at their fine church, their well scholared, polished-up preacher they got in the pulpit sometimes. And he might be a real gentleman. He might be a servant of God. He might be polished up and still a servant of God. I don't say that. But there's too many of them on the other side, that's polished up and denies the Word of God. That's the one I'm talking about, not the real, genuine brother. No, sir. It's the other side. "Well, we belong to certain-certain church, Rev. Branham. Of course we cannot cooperate in a--a healing campaign, or something or another, or--or any things like that, because, well, of course you know, the... Yeah, the king won't stand for that." The king... Yes, sir, sir. The king over your group wouldn't stand good for it. He wouldn't--he wouldn't even endorse it. You'd be excommunicated if you cooperated in it.

L-48 Some great man here not long ago, said, "The only thing I have..." The only man that ever I seen that was--had enough conviction to stand on was truth was Rufus Mosley. That's right. If any of you... You know Rufus Mosley, down there in Macon, Georgia, oh, one of the great fundamental schools there with thousands in there. He said, "I don't care what you say; this is of God." Brother, God shook the country around there too. And what he did, he had convictions like Martin Luther. He had conviction and like John Wesley. And he... Any man that's got conviction of the Word of God, not in some fantastic, but in the Word of God, and placing it in its time... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-49 Notice what taken place. Then after all these prophets begin to prophesy... And, oh, my, this is it. "Dr. Jones, what do you think about it?"
"Amen."
"Brother Levinski?"
"That's exactly right. THUS SAITH THE LORD."
"Well now, Dr. what do you think about it?"
"Yes, sir. Amen."
"Well, now, I'm the head of it, Zedekiah, and I... And you're the secretary, and you're the chief man, and you're the state presbyter, and you're the 'what you call it.' Now--now, what do we all say?"
"We'll agree."
That was very fine, but it wasn't according to the Word. And Jehoshaphat was spiritual enough to know that. I can see Ahab walk over and say, "Now, you see Jehoshaphat? I know you're just a little bit on the queer side (See?), 'cause you're just a little radic' in your religion. But here's hundreds of prophets standing here, the finest scholars in the country, saying, 'We're going up.' Now, you see, we don't have nothing to worry about."

L-50 Jehoshaphat said, "But haven't you got one more?"
"One more? Well, we're the whole organization...?"
Said, "So what about it? The whole organization says we're right. All the doctors and all of them say we're right."
"Seems to me like I read where the Lord... Ahab, you just got another one?"
He said, "I got a holy-roller out here," or something, ever what he was. He was an outcast, off brand. He said, "He's the son of Imlah; his name is Micaiah." But said, "I hate him." Oh, sure you do. Said, "He won't join with my group." Well, I don't blame him. Said, "Oh, my," said, "he's radical. And he never says anything good against me." Now, that lets the cat out of the bag right then. See? See, the reason they said that? See? Said, "He never says anything aga..." How could he say anything good against him? They're a--a good for him, 'cause he was no good to begin with. God had condemned him and rejected it. And how you going to bless what God has cursed? Or how you going to curse what God has blessed?
