<TITLE>17. Par 63-65</TITLE>L-63 The Bible said, "They'd be lovers of their ownself, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient, unthankful, unholy, without natural affections, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good. Having a form of godliness (just like they did), but denying the power thereof," the Word. If they speak not according to that, there's no life to them. That's right. "Having a form of godliness, but denying...?... From such turn away, for this is the sort that goes from house to house with their little books and campaigns and so forth, and lead silly women laden with sin, led away with divers lust: ever learning, and never able to come to the truth."
What kind are they? Jannes and Jambres have all kinds of fantastics and everything. "As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so will these resist the truth: men of reprobate mind concerning the Word." Trying to take the Word of God and pervert it into something else, into a fantastic, or a religious organization, or build them up a great name, or make themselves some great name. From such, turn away. Stay with the Word.

L-64 What happened? He said, "I saw this lying spirit," said, "I'll go down inspire them. I'll make them prophesy a lie."
Those men so willing to please the public... O God, help us. So willing to take this--to be a teacher with itching ears. Shall be turned from the truth to fables, as the Holy Spirit warns, told us that in the last days how they would be. So willing to become popular theirself, to get a greater radio, a greater television, or a greater name, or a greater possession in the church, a greater something, with own self exaltation, so willing to do that till they fail to watch it in the Word.
But Micaiah was watching the Word. He had the truth. He had the Word. Notice, then he told what would happen. And this fellow walked up and smote him in the face, said, "Which way went the Spirit of God?"
Said, "You'll see when your setting in the inner cell hiding."

L-65 And Ahab said, "Put that fellow in prison. Shut up all these meetings anyhow; we don't want no more of these holy-roller acts around here." Don't worry, it's coming. "Put him in jail and give him the bread of sorrow and the water of sorrow, and when I return in peace I'll deal with him," other words, "have his head chopped off."
Oh, Micaiah, standing on the Word of God, knowing his vision (O God), knowing that his vision was exactly with the Word of God, it could not fail, he said, "If you return at all in peace, God hasn't spoke to me." Amen. Amen.
Oh, people, the hour is late, but I want to say this to you, my dear friends. Don't you never listen to a program that tells you this isn't the Word of God and the Truth. Don't you never listen to any fantastics that is not put forth and predicted by the Lord Jesus Christ, 'cause He... When He came Hisself and healed the sick, He only did it that the Word might be fulfilled: only to fulfill the Word. He predicted both for the all types churches  in the Revelations the 17th, He said, "I saw a woman, a whore, a setting upon a great scarlet clothed beast, on seven heads."
The Vatican is on seven hills; I just left there a few months ago. And said, "She was a mother of harlots," the daughters that were born from her.
