<TITLE>30. Par 203-210</TITLE>L-203   The next night, when he was off of duty and laying in his bed, he was woke up. Looked, standing there in the room, and there stood Jesus Christ wrapped in that old piece of garment that he put around him. He knowed right then, "What you do unto My little ones, that you have done unto Me, to My anointed," laying there.
He was a great servant of God. The church made fun of him, persecuted him, kicked him out, and everything else, but he was a prophet of God. What he said come to pass. There's many believed him in that age, too.

L-204   I want to show you how deceiving the Devil is. One day he was setting in his study. Up come a mighty angel, crown on his head, golden shoes on, lace around his garments of gold, and said, "Martin, do you know me?" He said, "I am your Lord and Saviour. I'm the One that saved you. Worship me, Martin." But that prophet, knowing there was a little something strange there, he kept looking at him. He said, "Martin, I am your Saviour, Jesus Christ. Worship me! Don't you know me, Martin?"

L-205 Martin kept looking at him, the Scripture running through his mind. He said, "Satan, get away from me." He said, "You got a crown on your head. And the Word of God says His 'saints will crown Him' at the end of the age."
Wouldn't that a-been Pentecostal bait? Watch that Word, brother. That's where it pays.

L-206   One day, again, in the monastery, they had an old saint down there, bunch of young monks. There was one of them kind of irritable. Watch this, here is a good--a good parable today. He wanted to be something above the rest of them. He wanted to show hisself, authority, bigger something, something better, all class, you know, and great big something. He had to be classical. Always wanted the other brethren not... You know, he had to be different. See? He, no matter what it was, he was very arrogant. He was the only pebble on the beach. There was nobody could touch him. Now watch what happened. He had to have something big. He had to compare with the--the big societies. You follow me? See? So, he said, he prophesied. He said, "The Lord has made me a prophet, also. I'm a prophet."
Now, there was one identified prophet in the land, and that was Saint Martin; he was born a prophet.

L-207   But this kid said, young fellow said, young monk about twenty-five years old. He said, "The Lord has made me a prophet, and I'm going to prove it to you." Said, "Tonight the Lord is going to give me a big, fine robe, put it upon me, a white robe, and set among you. Then all of you shall come up to me, see, and you'll take orders from me."

L-208 Now compare that today, see, "I'll be the head of the organization. I'll take care of you, rest of you monks."
And sure enough, "That night, a lights come on in the building," so the writing of Saint Martin says. Read it. And it's authentic. It's history. And the lights come on, and all the rest watched, and here come... He had on a white robe, standing among them. He said, "See what I told you?" But that's contrary to the Word.

L-209   And when he went and got the old dean of the college, he walked up-and-down a little bit, said, "Son, that don't sound right." He said, "There's only one way." Here it is! "There's only one way for us to know. It looked supernatural." Boy, Pentecost would have grabbed that, root, sinker, line, hook, and everything else! He said, "The miracle may seem all right, but it don't seem right to the Word. Now, we have such a person, an anointed prophet, by the name of Martin. Come, go up before him."
The guy said, "No, no! Martin ain't got nothing to do with this."

L-210 And said, "You're going, anyhow." And they grabbed him by the arm, to take him before Martin, and the robe left him.
