<TITLE>06. Par 24-28</TITLE>L-24 God's so kind to His servant though to feed him and encourage him, and out under the juniper tree. But after he'd had such confidence in Jehovah, so sure, that he could walk up before the king and said, "Not even dew will fall, but according to my word." Stomped right out of the king's palace, anointed.
Then he had a vision of what to do. Then he went right out there on that mountain and took--and called down fire out of the heaven, proving He was God, then called rain down out of the heavens on the same day, and then killed four hundred men. Priests, pagan priests, cut their heads off, and then run when the vision left him.

L-25 Nervous, setting out there, said, "I'm no better than the rest of my fathers. I'm no more than any other prophets. Now, Lord, take my life. I'm the only that's left. I'm the only one that's preaching the right Gospel. So just take my life. Let me go." They get all flusterated like that.
But God said, "No, I--I--I--I got--I got seven thousand more, that had never bowed their knee to Baalim yet. (See?) But I--that's all right Elijah, you're doing a great work. But I--I still got another bunch (You see?) that you don't know yet."
"But take my life. I'm no more than my fathers was, prophets before me. Let me die."

L-26 Here John, a whole lot like him, laying down here in prison, mustering out. After he'd stood on the banks of the Jordan, come out of the wilderness, received the Holy Ghost in his mother's wombs, three months before he was born. Certainly did. How? When he had first heard the Name of Jesus Christ. When Mary come up there and she'd... she's not yet... She'd never felt nothing. The Angel had just overshadowed her. The Holy Spirit had told her. She took off to Judaea.
And she was--told Elisabeth that she was going to be mother, said, "The... God has overshadowed me. And I'm going to have a Child. And said I'd call His Name Jesus." And little John was six months already, Elisabeth was in her motherhood, pregnancy. And she'd not yet even felt life.

L-27 And so while she was standing, looking at Mary's face, and Mary telling her what the Holy Ghost said was going to happen, and had told about the experience that she'd had, an old woman, and conceived, and then how her husband was stricken dumb.
And while standing there, and she said, "I..." How she was going to have a Son and call His Name Jesus. And as soon as that precious glorious Name of Jesus was spoke first in a human lip, a little dead baby laying in its womb, jumped, and come to life, and received the Holy Ghost in the mother's womb.
Said, "Whence comes the mother of my Lord? For as soon as thy salutation come to my ears, my baby leaped in the womb for joy." And the Bible said he was born from his mother's wombs full of the Holy Ghost. A man called of God, come out into the wilderness at nine years old, no education, took off into the wilderness and was a woodsmen.

L-28 At thirty years old, he came out of the wilderness preaching such a message of a coming Messiah, that he shook the regions. And he wasn't afraid of the doctrine of the Pharisees. Said--said, "You snakes in the grass, don't you come around here saying we have Abraham to our father. You generation of vipers. Who's warned you to flee from the wrath to come?" Oh, my. He was rough.
Said, "I'm telling you of a Messiah that's coming with a fan in His hand. (Amen.) He will thoroughly purge His floor. He will take His wheat to the garner, and He will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire." Whew. He knowed what he was talking about.
