<TITLE>14. Par 145-157</TITLE>L-145   The vision at the temple, he saw God upon His throne, lifted up. Oh, note the Heavenly Seraphim, which means "burners," a special designed Person. When this Isaiah went down to the temple, he had been leaning upon the shoulder of--of Uzziah, and wherever the king went. He... But he found out that, when the king, no matter how influenced he had been, influentially he been to him, and the things that he had done, that was great, he found out that, when he tried to take another's place, he failed.

L-146 We have so much today, of carnal impersonations. What does it do? Let--let me take...

L-147 [The brethren say, "It's all right. All right. Go ahead with it, brother."--Ed.] Go ahead? All right. Thank you.

L-148 Notice, today, God sends something on the earth. And when we do, what happens? Everybody has to be the same.

L-149   Not long ago they brought a little Pentecostal boy up, by the name of little David Walker. And that little boy was a preacher. I've heard little boys say, "Little baby Jesus, born in a man-... Mama, what was that next?" See? But not that little boy. I went to hear him. He threw off his coat, and took a text, and handled it like a clergyman. But, I believe he belonged to the oneness group.

L-150 Well, now, the trinity group ain't going to stand--stand up for that. I'll tell you that. So they got them a little David. And when the little boy got down in Florida, he called for me to come down there and help him. And I took the front page of the paper, and they had to put an extra section in it for the little Davids: little boy, little girls, little bitty three-year-old, two-year-old, everybody trying to hold their little group together. It seems to me like it become a Pentecostal meal ticket.

L-151   If all of them brothers would have got around that little boy and kept him, prayed over him, and things, that he wouldn't get exalted up, and sent him into all the groups, and make him keep his--his doctrine to himself, but just go ahead and preach, and for all, he'd have won tens of thousands of little children.

L-152 But they got little impersonations up, and the outside world come in here. They heard of a little David, and here is one greater than little David, so they come around and look at it. And say... Well, they go in there and see a total flop, so then they go back and say, "There you are."

L-153 When they hear somebody speak in tongues and give an interpretation, say, "The Lord is going to do a certain thing," and see it happen just like that.

L-154 Then they go to another, and see just a bunch of carnal impersonations come back. They go around, say, "You're all mad." See, it's carnal comparisons. Don't do that.

L-155 "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." Let me humble my pride, and just call on His Name. "Let me wait, Lord." If He never do no more for me than save me, that's what I want. "If You had need for me, show me, and so that I'll know, and then I'll go. But You tell me, first. I'm here, Your servant." Do that and your influence will be great. Notice, God is all holy.

L-156   This prophet had been leaning upon this king's arms. But when he found out that something taken place... No matter how much a man was blessed, yet when God... he steps across that boundary line between error and truth, God calls his hand. Then Isaiah went down to the temple and he fell down on his knees. No doubt he had said, "Yes, honorable king! Your holiness, sir," and so forth, but it--it was... or "Your majesty, sir." It would have been different now.

L-157 He fell down on the temple, on the altar, and begin to cry out. And as he cried, God came down in a vision. And he saw Angels going back and forth through the temple, wings over Their feet, and wings over Their face, flying, crying, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty."
