<TITLE>16. Par 72-76</TITLE>L-72 So first thing you know, that all... He said, "Send and get him. Let's hear him, see what he'd say."
He said, "I'm warning you before he comes. That guy doesn't do nothing but slobber out against me all the time."
"Oh, don't let the king say so."
So they sent the deacon board over to get him, to have this meeting. So when they got--come got him, they said, "Look, Micaiah, do you know what? You've been put out of the association, you understand. You're not in the association any more. We had to excommunicate you. And I tell you now, you know, and you're an Israelite, the same as the rest of us are, you know that Ramoth-gilead belongs to us."
"Now, I'll tell you what to do; if you want to find favor, and get back in your right position again with the--with the brethren, I'll tell you what you do. You go over there and say the same thing they say."

L-73 Brother, he was barking up the wrong tree then. That kind of stuff don't go with a man of God, a prophet. He knows what fortified him was the Word of God.
He said, "As the Lord lives, I'll only say what He puts in my mouth." Oh, my, there you are...?...
Now, if somebody say, "That's what I do too," every one would try to say that. But if he puts something in there contrary to His Word, it was the devil put it in there, not God. God only puts His Word. Watch where that prophet is getting. He knowed the Word of God came to the prophets. And Elijah, the prophet, had already cursed Ahab because of Naboth, and said that the dogs would lick His Blood. So how could God bless what He had cursed?

L-74 So Micaiah said, "Wait, and I'll see what He says." He's going to have the vision first and compare it with the Word. That's always. Compare it with the Word. That's God's Urim Thummim. So then, when he--he went, said, "Give me tonight." And that night might've prayed all night, and the Lord come to him, told him what to say.
He went down the next morning, said, "Go on up, that's right, but I seen Israel scattered like sheep, having no shepherd."
See, what had he done? He had compared his vision with the Word, and he knowed he was perfectly right there. No matter how many of them intellectuals; great, high, school-trained, and polished scholars, and seminary, that didn't--didn't phase Micaiah one bit. Why? He stayed fortified by his vision of the Word. There he was.

L-75 One of them smacked him in the mouth, said, "Now, we'll never take you into the association." Said, "Let me show you something, Micaiah. Isn't it reasonable..."
I don't care how much reasoning it in, if it's against God's Word, it's against God's Word. If a intellectual giant come, said, "We don't need no Holy Ghost. We don't need this Divine healing." I don't care how much reasonable it looks like; if it's contrary to the Word, God gave the promise. Amen.

L-76 They say, "That was just for the apostles." I just wonder where they get that. Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "Repent, every one of you and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Amen. Just for the apostles... For every one that's called. Yeah, don't listen to that giant. See?
We wrestle, the Bible says here, not against flesh and blood. We don't try to break toeholds in the wrestling ring with flesh and blood; but we try to break heart-holds of the spirit that's got a hold of the people, got into their system, into their heart, making them do and say things that's wrong. Sure.
