<TITLE>15. Par 148-153</TITLE>L-148 It was behooving to Elijah, becoming to Elijah the prophet, that he made his stand to fulfill the Word of God, because he knowed the Word of God. And he knowed that this archbishop, Jezebel, and all their denominational differences blended in with the trend of the world. It was becoming to Elijah as a prophet, that he stood, and he stood alone. Said to God, "They're all gone but me, and I stand alone." That's as far as he knew. God said He had some more that's taking the same stand; maybe not in the place that--that Elijah was, because he was the target to the nation. They didn't get criticism like he did, because they was all firing right at him, because he was the prophet. But it was becoming to him in the midst of trial, in the midst of criticism, in the midst of indifference, it was becoming to Elijah, as a prophet to take the stand of God and stand there.
It becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. That great and mighty man, foreshadowing this day when the Jezebel religions and things is raising up now, things that we have today, trying to take over. It's becoming to a servant of God, no matter what anyone says, what takes place, stand, because it's becoming to us that we stay with the Word.

L-150 Elijah knew he was a prophet. He saw visions. God had vindicated him to be a prophet. So no matter if his brethren... They were tens of thousands; just look at the Israelites, millions of them, people who claimed to believe in Jehovah, and they'd organized themselves. They'd went modern, like they are today. They went modern. They compromised on His Word. Hallelujah. But it was becoming to him, Elijah, that he fulfilled all righteousness. So he stood there alone, crying out against the evils. If it took his life, what of it? It was becoming to him to fulfill all righteousness. There's evil in the land. There was indifference in the land. There was Scriptural wrongs in the land. And it was becoming to Elijah to fulfill all righteousness to stand for Jehovah; and Jehovah stood for Elijah. Amen. Becoming to him...

L-151 Abraham, it was becoming to Abraham to separate himself from unbelief. Becoming to any believer to separate yourself from unbelief. Abraham, it was becoming to him to walk in a land of his own, him and God alone, 'cause he was a prophet. The world didn't understand why Abraham made such a choice. Why did he leave his home? Why did he leave his church? Why did he leave his people? Why did he do such a rashal thing to sojourn in a strange land where there's no water or food? Why did he go into those bleak deserts where men had not went yet? But it was becoming to him, for he was a prophet, to separate himself from all unbelief and to walk alone with God. God said, "Separate yourself, and I'll bless you."

L-152 When you separate yourself from all unbelief, God will bless you. And it's becoming to every one of us, regardless of the price, to separate ourselves from the unbelieving world. "Come out from among them and be ye separate," saith God, "I will receive you." It's becoming to us as men and women of God to take our stand in this dark hour that we're living.

L-153 Abraham, regardless of what the rest of them thought, he separated himself. Why? He had saw God. He saw a vision. The vision was true; the vision come to pass. He knew God was with him; Abraham, to make such a rashal statement as he did, a man of a hundred years old, and a wife ninety, and she was barren and he was sterile, and they were going to have a baby at this age. Why, the medical science of that day would've called him some kind of erratic. They'd have called him crazy. But it was becoming. Hallelujah.
