<TITLE>15. Par 56-59</TITLE>L-56 Now, we know that... See what this... He said, "Well," all them said, "Go up. The Lord's with you. Go up and push them back off the land; it belongs to us."
And you know, that didn't sound just right to Jehoshaphat; he was a spiritual man. He said, "Isn't there one more that we could consult?"
"Why consult one when here's a whole organization now with all the bishops and presbyters and all? They're all standing out here. Why get any more?"
He said, "But surely, there's one more."
He said, "Yeah, I got one that I could consult, but I hate him." Why, sure. Certainly he hated him; he was a real prophet. He said, "He's Imla, the son of Micah. The organization put him out a long time ago, don't have any fellowship with him."
Said, "Let's hear him."
"Oh," he said, "I hate him."
He said, "Let the king not say so, but let's hear what he's got to say."
Then some of the presbyters run over, told him, said, "All the bishops and everybody said this and this; you must say the same thing."
He said, "I'll just say what God puts in my mouth." Amen.

L-57 Oh, we ought to have Brother Zepp here now to sing "Amen Chorus" for us. Yes, sir. Say what God puts in your mouth. He'll never say nothing but His Word. A prophet is a teller forth the same as a forth teller. True.
So he said, "I'll say what God says." And then he checked his vision. "Let me have tonight and see what the Lord says." The next morning he come out and had THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Why? He checked it. He knowed that that real prophet before him, who the Word of the Lord came to, had to be right. He cursed Ahab, told him the dogs would lick His blood and Jezebel would be strowed over the fields, and so forth. He knowed nothing good could come out of that thing with a hypocrite.
I'll tell you, that God will never bless the church as long as she organizes herself and sets herself to one side, which God has proved down through the age He's cursed.

L-58 Show me one group of people where God raised up a revival down through the Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Campbellite, whatever it might be, when He raised up a group of people and started a revival. When they organized they died and never come back. How can God bless what He's cursed? Oh, return, Louisiana. The year of jubilee's on. Return to your own. Return to your inheritance. Certainly.
Notice, and then he went up there on the hill and he lost his life. Just exactly because notice that Micah said his prophecy and knowed that his vision compared exactly with the Word of the Lord. Certainly.

L-59 What has it done to us? Done the same thing. We took multitude of counsel for safety. That goes in another place of Scripture. I can say, "Judas went and hung himself and you go do likewise." But it don't--it don't apply in the Scripture right. You got to make it say just exactly what It said, no private interpretation, read It just the way It reads. That's the way it's got to be. And then you'll always come back to it and God's got to honor it. He watches over His Word to fulfill His promises.
What has it done to us? It weakened our faith, first thing. I got a list of things wrote down here, ten pages, what it's done to us. I'll skip part of them.
The first thing, it weakened our faith because it separated us. And we seen another brother over in another organization speaking in tongues, and receive the Holy Ghost, and doing the same things we did, and yet we were taught that he's an old hypocrite because he didn't believe in our group. We are not divided, all one body. We, one in hope and doctrine, the Bible, one in charity. It weakened our faith, paralyzed us. Yes, sir.
