<TITLE>11. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 We found out that there's something wrong. The other night as I was preaching on the subject of the News flash, Greatest In History. Old John, his eyes got--prophet John was kindly filmed over. He was like--he had the spirit of Elijah. And Elijah had a breakdown when he was under the juniper tree. John had a breakdown in the prison.
And he was a high pitched prophet. Them nerves on edge. And then his eagle eye filmed over. He said, "Go see if I been wrong. Ask Him if He is One--or the One? Or do we look for another?" Jesus never sent him any book now, "Here's How To Have Patience While You're In Jail" or so forth. What did He say? What did He tell him?
He said, "Just stay and watch this afternoon's meeting then go show John." The lame walk, the blind see, the... John had preached a Gospel that a Messiah was coming' that would have--fan in His hand. And would thoroughly purge the floor. Sure, burn the chaff with unquenchable fire.
But when He come, He was a little meek fellow. Meek and lowly. Joh... It did--didn't meet up to what John thought it ought to be. But He said, "You go tell John I'm running right on schedule. It's all right. Everything's all right."

L-43 That's the same thing it is tonight. The Church, the people of the world has been looking for the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, or some church to put out something to bring Christ back. He's right on time. The lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear. Glory! He's right on schedule. Amen.
There's nothing wrong. He's moving right on. God still lives. He's still God.

L-44 And this righteous man cried out, "Oh, isn't there a prophet somewhere that we could consult." Now, there's one good brother among them. And I can hear him say, "Yes, yes. I--I know such a man. I--I know such a man."
And I can just see him look around to Jehoram and say, "Now, you're not going to believe him. I just know that right now. You're not going to believe this fellow. Because your father didn't believe him." (He certainly didn't.)
"And your father had that school up there on the hill with that bunch of prophets up there, or so called. And they didn't believe him. Why, they said the... And this man that I know, the Spirit of his father is upon him. He does the same thing his father does. He did the same thing that Elijah done. And the spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha. And I've been to his meetings, and I know it's the truth." Amen. God help us. That's what we want: meetings like that, where we see the Spirit of our Father, Jesus Christ, which was the--Elijah was a type. See, the Spirit... "He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Oh, brother. That's the One.

L-45 This good brother said, "I know where this man is. I--I've seen the spirit of Elijah upon him. He poured water on his hands. He lived with him. And I know that the spirit of Elijah does rest upon Elisha. I know. Jehoram," said, "you couldn't believe that. And all your school of prophets back there wouldn't believe it either, your theological seminary. Because I'll tell you for why? Here's the reason. When Elisha came back and told them that Elijah had been took, and he had a double portion of it, why, they said, 'The man has lost his mind. Get a hunting party of about fifty and find out where... He--he--he never raised up. He's still out there somewhere.'"
And they--we've tried all our ecclesiastical systems. Oh, don't get angry with me. But let me tell you, these ecclesiastical systems has took more than two thousand years to try to find the lifted up Lord Jesus through educational programs, through theology, through church organizations, and have failed to find Him. Amen.
He doesn't come through man-made theology. He doesn't come through organizations. He comes through a surrendered heart, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost to our heart. Amen.
