<TITLE>02. Par 11-21</TITLE>L-11   For instance, when Ahab and Jehoshaphat was together. And Ramoth-gilead really belonged to Israel, fundamentally, because the land divided by Joshua, through Joshua, by God, had been given to Israel. And the Syrians was taking the--the land and filling the stomachs of the enemy, with the food that should been given to Israel. Fundamentally, Ahab was right. And that's the reason four hundred Hebrew prophets, with one accord, was prophesying, "Go on up to Ramoth-gilead." Fundamentally, they were right. But Ahab wasn't right, himself.

L-12 And when this one little man stood up, by the name of Micaiah, the son of Imlah, and saw a vision. Now, one man's vision, against four hundred trained prophets, but the man's vision compared with the Word. That's the reason he knew it was right. And, see, it's on conditions. We must be sure.

L-13   When Hananiah prophesied, and took the yoke off of Jeremiah's neck.

L-14 That, Israel was to be the vessels of the Lord, rather, down and under Nebuchadnezzar, and all the kingdoms around had been given to this heathen Nebuchadnezzar down in Babylon. Here was Israel making their sacrifices, and just as religious and fundamental as they could be, but yet the sincerity had left it. And they was given down there for--for slaves to serve Nebuchadne-... Nebuchadnezzar for all these years. And Jeremiah had a yoke around his neck. And God had told him, "No matter what prophet prophesies, what dreamer dreams, or anything else contrary to what He said, it was wrong."

L-15 And there stood up Hananiah. Hananiah, just as sincere as any man could be, and prophesied with a message, "THUS SAITH THE LORD." Well, of course the people could clap their hands on that. That's true. "THUS SAITH THE LORD. They, he'll, they'll be back in two years, in the sight of two full years." And walked up to that vindicated prophet, took that off of his neck and broke it. And said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."

L-16 Remember what Jeremiah said? "Hananiah, amen. So be it. The Lord perform your words. But let us remember, there's been prophets before us. They prophesied against great kingdoms, against war, so forth." But a prophet is only known when his prophecy comes to pass." And Hananiah broke the yoke. And then you know what God told him.

L-17 I think we Pentecostal people... Fundamentally, full Gospel is Truth, but there is more goes with it. And that deep sincerity of what God has given us, we must approach it with respects, and--and love, and in a humble attitude. I think that's what we need.

L-18   And now, in this coming meetings, I--I really don't know where I'm going, Brother Williams. It's around from place to place, amongst my brethren. All of you pray that God will help us, that there will be the sick healed. And there will... First thing, let me say, first, there will be souls saved, and--and believers filled with the Holy Spirit, the sick people healed, God receive glory, and His Church grow for the Kingdom of God.

L-19 And I'm here to help in every way that I can. In this, I have. I think it's mostly full Gospel people, the--the Assemblies of God, and the Foursquare, and the Church of God, and the Oneness brethren, and all--all together. And that's the way I--I like it, where we can go to each place, and all come together.

L-20   Pentecost is really not an organization. It's an experience. That, we find that our little thoughts that used to be, in years gone by, that, "Just one group, called the Pentecostals, was all that got this blessing." We find that God just tore our little ideas all to pieces. He brought in Catholics, Presbyterian, Methodists, Baptists.

L-21 He gave those the Holy Ghost who serve Him, did His will, and He doesn't change. He cannot change. His attitude must always be the same. His decisions are perfect, to begin with. He has to alter nothing, His Words. He is sovereign. He has not to change anything, and He never does change.
