<TITLE>07. Par 46-52</TITLE>L-46 And Isaiah went to the castle to stay with him, to the king's palace. He called him in; he liked Isaiah. Isaiah was young also, and--and he... They was chums together. And how that king... When he would go out there, and they--some of the men of politics would come in and say, "We must do so-and-so," King Uzziah first sought the Lord. "Lord, is it Your will that we do it thus-and-thus?" God, give us a president like that, not only that, but give us preachers. "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things will be added."
This must've been a great influence, because Isaiah loved him, because he seen that he was a great man, and he--he stood firm and solid for God. And you know, each time in the days that we live, in the things that we do, remember, the public don't only look at the pastor, the way he looks--lives, he--they also look at the laity.

L-48 Oh, how it's too bad when we think of the church. Sometimes if the pastor belongs to a certain organization or a clan, and this organization sends him to a certain church, and sometimes that pastor's hands is tied by that organization. And the little fellow wants to serve the Lord, and he thinks--been taught that's about the only way he can do it, is by serving his organization. And if he got up and preached what the Word said, the church would vote him out; and then he's afraid he wouldn't have a chance then to preach the Gospel.
But, oh, what we need in the pulpits today is men like Uzziah was. No matter what the politics of his church or politics of anything else, he played the hand of God through. He waited till he found THUS SAITH THE LORD, then he did it.
Little... That little prophet (young fellow about his age) in the temple with him, they'd get down together and pray, no doubt, and ask the will of the Lord, and then compare it with the laws of the Bible. Then if it was all right, Uzziah passed it; if it wasn't all right, he condemned politics on it. God give us more like that. And that thrilled Isaiah because he was borned a prophet.
And Uzziah become a--a hero to Isaiah. You see, he was... Because of his--his stand for God, he became a hero in the eyes of the righteous. And there might not have been too many righteous. See? But the thing we want to do, is make our life count for God. Somebody's watching you.

L-51 I was getting after somebody the other day. In a certain neighborhood they'd had a... A great denominational church had a big rock-and-roll party down here, and they were dancing till about 1 o'clock in the morning. And they'd been teasing someone that comes to the Tabernacle, and said they were holy-rollers that came down here, because we have no denomination. And, oh, did that give me a chance. You can just about imagine what happened. But the thing of it is... Now, those people... No doubt, that the young lady that made the remark, if she only knew what was Truth...

L-52 I was in the mountains a few weeks ago. And way back when I was coming home, we went back (the family and I) to rest a little, where we're going again, the Lord willing, next week. And then, back there one night, I saw a vision. And it was a--a lovely, pretty woman, looked young woman running; she had her hand here, and she was perishing with a heart attack, a beautiful woman. And she dropped and was gone. And the Angel of the Lord said, "Now, when you hear of this, remember, they're going to say that she committed suicide, but she died in a heart attack. And it's almost 4:00, so you just say 4 o'clock," and then He left me.
