<TITLE>16. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 Now, said, "Go on up, if you want to."
And what happened? This guy had all the big sensations, having a big time; he walked around because he was a--he was the head of the church. He walked around and smitched him on the cheek with his hand, smacked him. Why, I could hear him say, "You little counterfeit holy-roller, where went the Spirit of God out of me when it went to you?"
He said, "You know what I saw?" He said, "While you all were having your big time down here in your big shindig, as it was down here, there was something going on in heaven at the same time."
And I'm telling you: while the prodigal sons are in the pig's pen and America's dancing under the rhythm of boogie-woogie and rock-and-roll with the Elvis Presleys down here, "Who loves Susie," there's a meeting in heaven going on now. It's our God opened them windows and let me look in. While you were having your rock-and-roll time, God let me look into the heaven, and in there I saw something.
Said, "What did you see?"
He said, "I saw God's great host, God setting on the right and left hand, and there was Angels on one hand and on the other hand." And said, "When I saw the Angels, one setting on one hand and one on the other, a host of heaven gathered up," and said, God said, 'Who will I get to go down?'" Oh, my, that's a... "Who can I get to go down, so that we can bring Ahab up there to fulfill My Word, which was spoke by My prophet?"

L-60 Stay with the Word, brother. Regardless of how many rock-and-roll parties they have, and how much they play it in church, and how much they act in church, how much they do this, that, or the other, stay with Word. That's right. God keeps His Word, every time.
Notice. He said, "Who can we get to go down? Who can we get to go down there and get Ahab up here, because it's got to be fulfilled?"
And he said, "I saw a lying spirit come up, said, 'Let me go. I will go down and get in every one of them bishops and them prophets, and all the state presbyters, and all the rest of them. And I'll inspire them to prophesy a lie so I can get them up there.'"

L-61 Now, wait a minute. Hold on, are you ready? Inspiration, inspiration, that doesn't co-opt with the Bible is wrong inspiration. "Brother Branham, how can we be sure we're right? We see this coming up; we see this coming up, and all these things and fantastics." Stay with the Word.
Sure, they was both inspired. Here was the little fellow standing there by himself. He was inspired. Here was four hundred fine bishops and they was inspired, and each one saying, "THUS SAITH THE LORD." But how will we know which is right? Stay with the Word. Micaiah had the Word. He knew that evil had to be treated evil. He knowed that hypocrisy, that make belief religion, that stuff that has all the class to it, and a painted up Jezebel, and all these other things, had to be dealt with by the hand of the living God. For the prophet, the Word of God said so. You say, "Was the prophet God's Word?" Yes, sir.
"Fear not, in sundry times and divers manners, the Lord spoke to the fathers through the prophets, and in this last day through His Son, Christ Jesus." That's right. Sure was the Word of God.

L-62 There they were, inspired, thought they were right. I don't say they wasn't sincere. They were sincere. They were great men. They wasn't unlearned men. They wasn't just an overnight men, they were great men, taught in the Word, inspired. But their inspiration didn't cooperate with the Bible's Word. That's the reason Micaiah knew they were wrong. And the Bible said that in the last days men shall be lovers of their ownself.
"Why, you mean to tell me that little two-by-four could tell me? I'm a bishop. I'm the head of the so-and-so. I'm the great fellow in the Catholic church. I'm the great in the Methodist, the Baptist, or even in the Pentecostal. "I'm the state presbyter, and you mean to tell me, you let that go on?" That's right. "You mean to tell me this, that..."
