<TITLE>29. Par -</TITLE>L-555-284 And then maybe the associate, like Brother George, Brother George DeArk, get up and offer prayer. And then we'd have a special, like a solo or something like that. And then it was time, somebody'd let me know it was time to come out. If it was, all right, I'd come out freshly under the anointing. See?
Well, maybe that week they'd had a meeting somewhere here in the church, had their own meeting. Maybe before the service ever opened that night, they had a meeting. And here it was... I got it here, and say, "It is written here on this paper that there will come a certain storm through this country next week," or something, thing--you know, something like that will take place. "It was written, spoke in tongues, and interpreted by two saints of the church here, Brother So-and-so and Brother So-and-so. Two witnesses of it gave record here; they have their names signed on here. And it was recorded, 'It would be of God, it's so-and-so and so-and-so.'" That's my first part.

L-555-286 Then I'd say, "All right, we'll prepare for this; everybody be in prayer. See? Now, is there a special request, everybody?" You know. "Let us pray." Stood and prayed. Right straight to the Word, right on to the Word.
Then immediately after the service was over, the altar call was made. See? The altar call was what we played on heavy, the altar call: get the people to the altar. And then after that altar call was over, perhaps then I'd pray for the sick. See, just something like that. The service was all took up, 'cause the spirit of the prophets is subject to the prophet.

L-556-289 That's what I was thinking of... You remember the night when I saw the vision when the Angel come walking to me? I was sitting there in the room, thinking, about, oh, way in the night, saying, "The spirit of the prophets is... How could that be?" I looked at that Light flashing, and here He come walking right down through there where I was at. See? That's when He commissioned me right there (See?) to these meetings.
Now, no, it's the--the person that's giving the message... That was your question, I believe, "The person that's giving the message, would he... Is--is the person giving the message, would he know it was the Angel of the Lord or not?"
[A brother says, "No, the question was, you say there is the tongues of angels..." Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I don't think he could. Now, it's the way we got it now. But, see, when we get the way we should be, where you have a regular meeting for that, let...

L-556-292 See, each one of them is a ministry. Say, you speak in tongues; he interprets; and he speaks in tongues; he prophesies; you're just laity here in the church; but yet you got a ministry and you got something. You're trying to help the Kingdom of God, do something for it (See?), and so you brethren meet together. That's the reason pastors, like this, we meet together; we got something in common. You brethren meet together, study the Scriptures, and speak in tongues and interpret, and give the messages. You see?

L-556-293 But now, if this man, then, if he realizes... He's been to the meeting; he's got a gift of tongues. Well, he gets to the meeting; he speaks in tongues but no interpretation is given, the interpreter don't get it.
 [A brother asks, "Would you say then that those people edifies the Body, but the offices such as pastors, teachers, and that, perfect the Body?"--Ed.]
Yes, that's what it's for, the perfection. See? These are given for perfection. You see? I believe, the--the--the Spirit are given to perfect, perfection of the church.
