<TITLE>14. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Watch. Now, they had the council. And so one spirit come up--must've come from the lower regions, no doubt bowed down, and said, "God, I'll--I'll--I know how we'll do it."
Said, "What's your plan?"
Said, "I'll go down, and get in all them preachers, and make them prophesy a lie, because they don't know the Scripture anyhow." So said, "I'll go down and make them prophesy a lie. And by that we'll raise him out, and get him out there, and then You can have him killed out there to fulfill Elijah's word."
So, He said, "You will--you're... You'll persuade him."

L-47 And so when he said this, now you can imagine how that bishop thought when that little bitty two-by-four preacher standing up there saying a word like that. He walked right up and smacked him right in the mouth. And he said, "Which a way did the Spirit of God go when it left me?"
He said, "You'll see someday setting in a pen over there," said. Elijah--Elijah had prophesied it, and Micaiah's vision compared with the Word of God.
Now, if your faith says... Now, how many believes that there is such a thing as Divine healing by Christ? Raise up your hands. All right, how many believes that you could be healed tonight? Raise up your hands. Well, there--there's your--your revelation comparing with the Word of God. Then it's got to come to pass. Amen. He's--He's got to do it, if you really believe it. Just don't make-believe it, now. He won't bluff. Satan won't bluff, but you've got to have the goods.

L-48 Ten days after Jesus gave the disciples power to cast out devils, we find them over there defeated on a epileptic case. And I can imagine one of them, Andrew, saying, "Now, here's the way I done it down at Philippi. Here it is. Come out of there, devil! Come out of there, devil!" No, he wouldn't come out.
Peter said, "You don't know how to do it. Here's the way we do it at Capernaum. Let me show you how you do it. Get a hold of him like this, say, 'You know who I am? I'm Simon Peter. Come out of there!'" The devil just kept on going.
So after while the father looked up, and here come Jesus, come walking down. He said, "Lord, I brought my child to Your servants and they could no do any good for him." Said...
Jesus said, "I can, if you believe."
He said, "I... Lord, help my unbelief." Said, "I believe."
When Jesus went walking up, that's all He had to do. That devil knowed that there was something besides a man walking up there then. See? So then, now after it was all over, the devil left the child. And after it was over, then the disciples called Jesus aside and said, "Now, why couldn't we do it? Did You take the power back away from us?"
He said, "No." I can show you where He give power, but I can't show you where He taken it away. It's still there. You're just afraid to use it. See?
Said, "Is... Why couldn't we--why couldn't we cast him out?"
Jesus said... Now, didn't say, "Because I took the power back." He said, "Because of your unbelief." That's it. See? That's it, because you don't believe it."

L-49 Now, Micaiah could've not had faith unless his vision would've compare with the Word of God. That's the way in, when I was talking about Abraham and his seed after him. The only way I have faith with that vision of mine on that, that it's exactly the Word of God. And then, you've got faith: "I know it's so." When God says so, and He's promised it by His Word, and we're living in this day; He's running on schedule. Yes, sir. There isn't nothing going to stop it; it's going right on. And that's the reason I believe tonight that we're living in the shadows of the time just...
A minister here the other day... The boy's not here tonight. He's a Baptist and took all kinds of degrees. And they--His church turned him out, and His people sent him to the insane institution, him and his wife. He was here last night... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I agree with the brother exactly.
