<TITLE>06. Par 22-26</TITLE>L-22 Now, here not long ago, they broke out a thing when the revival started in the Pentecostal realms, called "The Latter Day Rain." Well, they moved out to different places, and they said, "We're not organized." And they come to find out, they were organized tighter than the rest of them was.
See, you got the old system back with the--with the new pastor, and it just don't work. That's all. And it gets the whole thing into a confusion. Then you're all tore up.
So that's what happened here. Jehoshaphat went down to--to take a--a look at this new pastor, Jehoram. And thought maybe he'd look over his system and see what he had. But it was only a hook to get him hooked into trouble again.
And then with all the glamour and everything he had to offer him, we find out that he went--they went seven days without consulting the Lord, without knowing for sure that God was in their midst.

L-23 Now, that's what's the trouble. We start on these things, but never stop to find out whether really, it's the Lord in our midst or not. Or whether it's some kind of any emotion, or some kind of a work-up, or some kind of a foolish system, or something. We ought to--we ought to solve the thing out and see if it's of God or not.
I think that's where we make our mistakes. Is seven days, the Church has traveled. And we find out that in seven days' time, just taking it for granted that God was along; that's what we've done. Just take it for granted. "Oh well, we'll go join church. God's in it. There's no doubt at all."

L-24 Search out and find out whether God's in it or not. Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Signs, wonders, miracles... And when we see our churches cooling down and those things not happening... You have to wait till you get some special evangelist into town or something, then beat a few tambourines and work up a little emotion. God isn't in that. No.
I'll tell you what we need today is a back to the old Bible again. Back to the old fashion Pentecostal teaching of the Bible. Back to the Holy Ghost. Back to the power of God. Back to all night prayer meetings. Where they're hungering and thirsting for God. That's what we need tonight in our churches, in our--to bring that into our systems.

L-25 They found out then, at seven day's journey, finally brought them to a desert. And we found out the same thing. We've had seven church ages. We're living now in the seven church ages. What have we done when--broke out a revival? We fixed up a system and made us a little group over here that, "We believe this. And we won't have nothing to do with this group."
And this group fix them up a little group. They won't have nothing to do with this group here. And they just start fussing, stewing, back and forth. And now, we find out in the midst of all of it, that we've gone about seven days and not having God in our midst. That's right.

L-26 Now, the prophet said there would be a day that it would not be called day or night. It would be kind of a gloomy, dismal day. We've had that kind of a day. We've had a day for the last two thousand years, where we've had meetings and accept Jesus as God's Son, and as our Saviour. And we've seen God do great things among us. But yet, it's been a long time since the Pentecostal light. Two thousand years we made organizations, built big schools, and had systems. And find out here in the seventh church age, we find out we've missed something. There's something wrong.
We find out we got into a desert. And all the fruits is dried up. That's what's the Pentecostal church has did today. Has organized itself so tight, till it's against one another. Until we found out that all the fruits is dried up. We don't have no more love, peace, joy, long-suffering, fellowship, that we ought to have, like they had at the beginning. The fruits have all dried up in the deserts.
