<TITLE>14. Par 113-122</TITLE>L-113 You must be in His time. It must be in His season. You got that now? Must be in His time. It must be in His season, time and season.

L-114   And it must be according to His Word that has been spoken. It must. I don't care how well you say this ought to be, or that ought to be, or this ought to be. It's got to be according to His Word; according to His time and His season.
And it must be given according, to the person He has chosen to do it by.

L-115 I don't care how much dignitaries. There is king David, just as great as any of them. He was king over the nation. But He had a way of doing it, and He had told them how He would do it. But they failed to do it.

L-116 It must be according to His Word; according to His time, according to His program.

L-117   And it must be by the person He has chose to give it and to do it. Moses tried to run from it, "Take somebody else." But God chose Moses to do it. Many of them; Paul tried to get out of it; many others. But it's got to be by the one He chooses to do it.
And it must come, first, to His prophets. The Word of God must come to His prophets. Amos 3:7, "The Lord God will do nothing until first He reveals It to His servant the prophet." Four.

L-118 And the prophet must be a vindicated by the Word of God.

L-119 There is your five musts. It's got to be that way. His time, His season, when He said it would be; and the man that He chose; and it must come to the prophet; and the prophet must be a vindicated prophet. We find out, many of them in the Bible, it come to the prophets and it wasn't vindicated. Our prophet is Jesus Christ.

L-120   So now notice, see, God had not revealed the thing to them by His provided way of doing it. They had accepted David's way. They had accepted the priests' way. They had accepted the scribes' way, the theologians', but not God's way. Nathan-ael, was, he was a prophet of that day. Later on, Nathan-ael told them how to do it. But, see, they done it without consulting Nathan-ael. Not a word says that Nathan-ael was consulted. All the influence, the great thing going on! And, my, I think of that song, "Let, keep..."
Help me, Lord, when hearts are aflame,
Let me humble my pride (to go with the rest of them), just call on your Name;
Teach me not to rely on what others do,
Just wait in prayer for an answer from You.
See, that's the way it is. Let me see it happen in the right way, then it's believed.

L-121   Now, God revealed the thing to them by David, and by the ministers, and by the people, and by the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, but not by Nathan-ael who had THUS SAITH THE LORD. And the Lord said He would do nothing until He showed that prophet of the age, first, what to do. See what they did? They went straight out of the Word of God, went and put the ark upon a new cart. See? So they went about to do it apart from God's commandment and God's provided way.
And that's what's happened today, friends. That's why we've had so many great crusades, and so forth, and no results. More infidelity, more sin, more... I tell you, this nation is gone; not only this nation, but other nations. This nation, like England of another age, has been the prostitute of all the rest the nations.

L-122   Way down in Mozambique, four hundred and eighty miles from civilization, in the jungle, beatnik kids listen to Elvis Presley, jerking their head and bouncing up-and-down like that, all night long, with stay... Or, little sets like that will pull for a thousand miles, plumb over in Rhodesia, to get Elvis Presley. And yet they say, "He is very religious, him and Pat Boone, and them." Why, it's the Judas of the hour, and don't know it. That's the bad part, they believe they're--they're right.
Didn't Jesus say to this Laodicean Church Age, "Thou art naked, miserable, wretched, blind, and don't know it"? Don't know it!
