<TITLE>16. Par 132-140</TITLE>L-132 Angels and everybody here... Some fleshly, puffed up something to say about angels... Joseph Smith, Brigham Young and all different cults of the Adventists, and everything else, they see all kinds of things like that, but it's always contrary to the Word. But God backs up His Word. It's His Word.
I said, "It's the Word of the Lord. Sure, all I ever knowed was taught to me by Him. I never went to a seminary or school. It comes from Him." But I said, "Whether it was contrary... If it's contrary to that, I wouldn't believe Him, 'cause that's... God's Word's first; everything else be a lie." God's Word, stay with It.

L-134 So Elijah when he got through, he water-soaked those logs all over with twelve barrels of water, and poured them upon top of there. He stepped out there just as cool as he could be. Why? God can't lie. God told him. He said, "Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that You're God, and I'm Your servant, and I did this at Your command, because it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. I did this because You told me to do it, because it's according to Your Word. Let it be known now that You're God." And the fire of the Lord fell, consumed sacrifice, water-soaked logs, licked up the rocks, and everything else, and took everything away. Then Israel cried, the seven thousand, "Let God be God."

L-135 Elijah... How beautiful to see that little, old, frail-looking, skinny body all wrinkled up, that little stick in his hand, little cruse of oil hanging on his side, and a piece of sheepskin wrapped around him. Why, they'd put him in jail today if he walked on the street. But they let women wear shorts, but they sure wouldn't do that (See?) like some of them... So then... But here they--here he come down across there, across the hill on this stick...

L-136 Now, Mount Carmel's not a little--little vacant spot sets out in the middle of the desert; it's a big mountain. It runs kinda angle like this, runs up to a top, and looks out over the sea. And Elijah and Gehazi ran all the way up to the top. And Elijah fell on his face there and begin to cry out to God with his back turned towards the west, towards the sun. Three years and six months not even dew had fell. He said to Gehazi, "Go look and see if you see anything, a cloud out over the sea."
Stand on this mountain, looking out that way, said, "I don't see a thing."
He stayed right there. "God if these people has repented, if this people has come back to You, if they're ready to get away from all this nonsense and come back to Your Word, then You're God to answer Your Word."

L-138 Let me say the same thing today. Take these denominations and break them up. Forget these denominational difference and let people come back to the Word of God, to a hewing line; I'll prove to you there's a God that can still answer by fire. When the people call on God...?... will call for a person. Let the people call for a prophet, God will put him on the scene. I challenge the nations to do that. Fall on your face and call on God to send a deliverer and watch what happens. Just do it one time. God will answer. God always does.

L-140 Fell down and said, "God, let it be today. These people was against You. These people's broke up in all kinds of denominations out yonder. But today You proved Yourself. You're God. And the people said, 'Throw away Baalim.' And I've killed them thousands of priests. They're out of the way now, Lord. All the hindrances is gone, the little barriers that separated us." A Methodist would like to come worship with the Baptist; the Baptist would like to come with the Pentecostals, the true in heart down there, that faithful seven thousand; but they can't do it. If they do, they're kicked out of their churches. Some of them don't care; they come anyhow. That's right.
