Then let’s just stop on that Scripture, which we could take it through the Bible, through the prophets, through the ages. And there never was any person did anything without God first showing. The prophet Elijah on Mount Carmel, looked like he just went up there and got angry with the people and called down fire. Oh, no. When he got it all laid in order, he said, “Lord, I’ve done this at Your Word.” Is that right? Everywhere, it was something God showed. And it must be perfect, for God said so.
