<TITLE>15. Par 67-71</TITLE>L-67 I was preaching one night, and a woman got to screaming and shouting, a little Baptist brother told me the next day, said, "I was enjoying your message till that woman went to screaming." Said, "You know that made chills run over my back."
I said, "Brother, you're living in the quietest world you ever lived in. If you go to hell, there'll be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. If you go to heaven there'll be screaming and shouting all the time. Why," I said, "man, if that made chills run up your back," I said, "what will it do when you get to heaven? Why, you'll freeze to death when you get there." I said, "You'd be so out of place. For even the Angels, with wings over their face and hands are...?... over their feet and over their face, are singing, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy.'"
God is an object of worship. God is worshipped, worshipped. If anything I honor the Pentecostal people for is to let loose and worship God. Yes.

L-68 Intellectual giants... There stood Jehoshaphat, been used to worshipping God. Here was Ahab. And Jehoshaphat, of course, being a man of God, thought the first thing is consult God. That's the best thing. He said, "We should consult God."
"Oh," Ahab said, "certainly, your honor, sir." Like saying, "Yes, sir, your honor. Why, sure. I have a seminary down here plumb full of them. I've got four hundred of the best there is."
Said, "Call them up."
Here come up Doctor Ph.D., L.L.. All of them come up there. And Micaiah and all of them come up there, not Micaiah. All the prophets come up there. And they said, "Prophesy and tell us: shall we go up to Ramoth-gilead, where Joshua... God give us that land?"
And they go on down. And they consulted God, and they prayed, and they prayed, come back up and said, "Yep. Go up. The Lord's with you."

L-69 Hezekiah went, and made himself a great big set of horns, run through the crowd, said, "By this, these big iron horns, you're going to push Ramoth-gilead,. push the Philistines plumb out of the country" or the Assyrians. "You're going to push them plumb out of the country by this." Oh.
"Now, let's reason. I say, 'How do you know that's so?'"
"Looky here. God gave that land to us. The food that's grown on that land goes to Israel. God gave it to us by Joshua."
"Amen," all of them said. "That's right, sir, your honor. And our enemy is fattening themselves on our land. It's not right."
"Amen. That sounds good."

L-70 Doesn't it sound good, intellectually? But you know, there's something like that, that just don't always strike a man of God. Jehoshaphat looked around. He said, "Is this all you got?"
"Why," he said, "we got four hundred here with one accord. Why, the whole school is out here. All the seminaries are together. All of them's here."
It just didn't ring out somehow. That was that predestinated seed. You see?
He said, "Haven't you just got one more?"
He said, "Yes, I got one more. But I hate him. I hate him." Said, "He's Micaiah, the son of Imlah." But said, "I hate him because he's always prophesying evil against me." Oh, brother. God bless that man. He said, "Here's every one of our organizations, every one of them in one accord," like the U. N. up there now.

L-71 You know the Bible said He'd--He would bundle the tares first. They're sure bundling up together, all to the World Council of Churches, every one of them going, where it's all headed for. That gives the church a chance to grow then. All right. Get a little persecution where you're not fed so well everything have to be pushed together. God's got a way of doing things, you know.
