Re: 400-to-1

Naturally, one can hardly expect a sermon on Micaiah [who stood up against the 400 false prophets of Israel] to be ...popular....

If such a prospect [one who would be like Micaiah] is reading this, God bless you. The odds will be four hundred to one, the diet may be bread and water, and the orders are: "...what the Lord saith unto me, that will I speak"... [but] get ready for trouble! You will be despised... [and] hated....You will report to Heavenly Headquarters and get your orders from the Main Office...[so] think it over. You had better mean business, else your ministry will be pathetic instead of prophetic. --Vance Havner

"They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. "And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. (John 16:2-3)

"So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. "You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious.(Ezek 33:7,2:7)
