<TITLE>04. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 Look at--let's take Elijah the prophet. God give him inspiration, give him a vision, told him to go up on the mountain and what to do. He laid that thing in order just the way God told him to. It hadn't rained for three years and six months. And he called fire out of heavens, and immediately called rain out of the heavens, and took and killed four hundred priests himself, executed four hundred priests. And then when the inspiration left him, run at the threat of a woman, and run out in the wilderness, and set down under a Juniper tree, and said, "God, take my life." And He--God fed him with some cakes on the hearth there, and--and then fed him for again. And then he was wandering in the wilderness for forty days, and God found him pulled back in a cave somewhere. That right? And the mighty rushing wind went by, and God wasn't in the wind. The thunder went by, and He wasn't in the thunder. After while a still small voice spoke to him, wanted to know why he was back in that cave. See, beside himself, wondering around in that wilderness, and was found pulled back in a cave. Now, you have some conception, what's the Son of God?

L-12 That's the reason, friends, it just nearly... You don't realize... I stood here the other night, trying to stand as long as I could for you people because with the Gospel I'd cut it just as hard and slammed it to your denominations and everything. Not at your denominations, but the way that they're getting so loose. See? They're... And with that, I thought, "God, I love them, and I--I've hurt them; let me stand as long as I can." And when I started off this platform, I found myself in the arms of a minister. When I got in yonder, I run into some woman, out in the room out there where there was some more people standing. See? I--I didn't where I was at. Then Billy got me by arm and led me out, and next thing I knew they was taking me up the steps down at the place where I stay. See, see? And then all night long I didn't sleep at all; I didn't tell you about it. See?
Next day I--look like everything I'd look at... The maid come in to make up the rooms, and I stood there, just as soon as she come in, I knew right then what was wrong with her. I went out on the street, walked down the street, and here come a man coming down the street, right there, I--just first thing you know stood myself standing there, seen about something he'd done and trying to tell him right there on the street. See? You just don't realize what you go through. See? You--you--you just know the outside; you don't know what the inside is. It's like being way up high, a million miles high, where you feel like everything's in your reach like that, then all at once you just drop off of somewhere, and you don't--there you are. See? And that's the reason we have to watch it real close. And one time I was in the meeting so long, and the brethren let me stay so long at the platform, till it was almost a year 'fore I was back in the field again.
