<TITLE>27. Par 230-233</TITLE>L-230 That's the same thing that taken place here, the Nicene Council; Nicolaitanes, formal Christianity. And the Holy Spirit comes back and said, "You've got the doctrine of Balaam among you. (See?) And you... I hate them deeds of the Nicolaitanes, them doctrines that they got, because it's the doctrine of Balaam who taught the children of Israel to stumble." How did he do it?
Then when he went out to curse that people, God said, "I'll tie up your tongue; you can't say nothing but what I tell you. You can't curse what I bless." So he looked down there.
And look at this hypocrite. Oh, we could just run on out with it. See? Look at this old King Balac, the--the--the--the head of all of it, told this here false prophet, said, "Go down there and just look at the back part of them."

L-233 That's the way the--the big churches like to say to God's little minority. "You know what? I knowed one of them. Boy, you know what he done? He--he did this, and he did that. Them's Pentecostals. Sure." Oh, but if you just knowed the truth about them, but papers and things will keep that quiet. But let a little Pentecostal get out of the right sometime, and watch how the whole country blabbers it out. Sure. Yes, sir.
But now notice, he said, "Just look at the back parts, the back, the worse part of it."
Balaam said, "Yeah, I'll just look at the back part, that bad part what they do. That's what I'll do; I'll just look at their--their orneriness, their no-good." Because if he was looking at the no-good, they wasn't. That's right. They'd done every sin on the calendar. But what he failed to see, he failed to see that smitten Rock, that Brass Serpent, that joy of the King among them: healing, signs, wonders, and that Pillar of Fire hanging over them.
That blinded prophet couldn't see it. No, sir. But he was showing the dirty part of them, "Well, I know one that run away with another man's wife. I--I know this; he stole some money." That's right. That's right. I'll admit that; but they got the same thing over there, but they didn't say nothing about it. See? So he just show him the worse part.
But He said, God said, "You just say what I say." And Balaam got into the Spirit, fell into a trance; and instead of cursing Israel, he blessed it. Amen. There he was.
