<TITLE>19. Par 201-211</TITLE>L-201   "Then down from the creeping regions of the lost, way down in there come a spirit moving up, he said, 'I'm a deceiver, and if I can do a service to You, I'll go down and get in his prophet.'" Because they was so organized, they'll only understand one thing, and that's a little emotions. "'And I'll cause them to prophesy a lie. And I'll get Ahab to listen to those dignitaries instead of Your real prophet; 'cause he'll examine everything he says with your Word, he'll examine his visions by the Word, he'll examine everything he does by the Word, and if it ain't with the Word he wouldn't listen to it. But if it... I can deceive these others, and I'll... they... Ahab's got so much confidence in that great unity together of their safety, so they go around together and they'll get together. And I'll cause Ahab to listen to them, go out there. And that's how we'll do it.'"

L-202 "God said, 'You can do it, you're a real deceiver; you go on down.'"

L-203   And then Zedekiah smacked him in the mouth, said, "Where was you...?"

L-204 He said, "You'll find out when you're setting in the inner cell." Uh-huh.

L-205 He said, "Go up!" said Zedekiah to the king. Said, "Go up and return in peace!"

L-206 Ahab said, "Take that fellow and put him into the prison. Put him in shackles, feed him bread of sorrow and water of sorrow. And when I return back with my victory from out here, which my prophets has told me that 'this revival is sure to happen,'" said, "I'll tend to that fellow!"

L-207 Listen at Micaiah's last words to that man: "If you return at all, then God never spoke to me." Oh!

L-208 See, God has His way of doing things. These man thought they were doing God a service. Be careful! Not emotion, not enthusiasm, not imaginations, but it must be "THUS SAITH THE LORD," must be right. All right, no matter... We find these things so.

L-209   Notice now when David had made this great proclamation, and it seemed like that it was good, a good thing to do. There we find out that the... (Am I tiring you? Am I too late to have another?) David made this great proclamation, he consulted not the prophet.

L-210 Now, anyone knows that Amos 3:7 says that God promised that He would never do nothing until first He revealed it to His prophet. Through the church ages we've had reformers; but promised by Malachi 4 that there would be a prophet in the land in the last days (because it has to fit that pattern, see) before the end time come.

L-211   Before Jesus come the first, Elijah come, Elijah of Malachi 3. Matthew 11 says so, "If you can understand it, this is who was spoken of, 'Behold I send My--My messenger before Me.'" Now, He's prophesied, all theologians believe that; that, in the last day, the Spirit of Elijah is to come, too. It has to come five times, God uses that Spirit: Elisha, Elijah, John the Baptist, and for the Gentile church, and then for the Jews in Revelation the 11th chapter. That's, God's g-r-a-c-e, f-a-i-t-h, Je-s-u-s, Jesus, the--the letter five. Can't stop at four, it has to go to five. See? Notice!
