<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Now, listen to the Scripture, not the promise that you have. But she said in her heart, "If I touch His garment, I will be whole." See?
Now, you have more than that. You have a Divine promise. Is that right? You have a Divine promise, and a Divine gift here in your midst now. Just look how much more you've got to believe by than what that poor woman had. She didn't even have a Scripture for that. And the Scripture said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." That's a promise. But she didn't have no promise, but she believed it anyhow. Watch.
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith has made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
And... Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
And he said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
And the fame thereof went abroad in all that land.

L-25 God bless His Word there, said, "It shall not return to Me void, but it'll accomplish that which it was purposed for. See? Your faith in God's Word brings the result.
The little ruler... Let's think--let's think he was a fellow that... He--he probably separated himself from the believers, because that the big church that day did not believe Him. They didn't believe in Him. "Why, He's nothing but a--an impostor."
But what if those fellows could come out of hell tonight and come back up. They'd want to believe on Him. They know now He's the Son of God. They knowed then It was their visitation, but It's too far... Now, don't you let that be your excuse; you believe now. Believe now.

L-26 Now, remember when Jesus was on earth, He was considered a fanatic, being against churches. And He was called a spiritualist, Beelzebub. Is that right? One knows who Beelzebub was, the devil, big fly, scared the other flies off the platform, Beelzebub. They called, in other words, He was a spiritualist. He was doing all these things by spiritualism, or some wicked devil or something. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Separated himself from the believers went out...?... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... That right?

L-27 Now, just have faith and believe. Now, this little ruler, he separated himself from the believers and went out to stay with the rest of them. And... But there come a need; his girl got sick. Well, he probably called the doctor, and the doctor done all he could do. But the girl got sicker and sicker. And after awhile, the breath left her; she's gone, a child about twelve years old, presumingly. But now, the girl was to be sick. All hopes was gone; the doctor couldn't give no hope. Now, he had to get to Jesus.
That's sometimes the way God has to get people, 'fore they'll believe Him. Isn't that right? They had to get to Jesus.
I can hear somebody say, "Well, that fellow, that Nazarene, that fanatic over there that's doing that healing, that Divine healer, why don't you call Him?"
"Well, the... I'll get put out of the synagogue if I have anything to do with Him."
See, He was considered a quack. And brother, all the people that's ever lived like God, or been in God's program, has been considered heretics, quacks, fanaticism. Some--some others may be. That's true. Probably some of it--some of it may be.
