<TITLE>24. Par 60-63</TITLE>L-60 After while he felt his flesh was getting warm. Got up. Walked again. Oh, my. Up-and-down the floor, to and fro, a howling outside, and the screaming and carrying on, Elijah walking... Walked back again, throwed his body across the baby, and the baby sneezed seven times. Picked him up, said, "Call that Shunammite now." There you are.
And no doubt, Martha had been reading that. She knowed if God was in His prophet, surely He was in His Son. Hallelujah. "My brother's dead, but let me get to the Son of God. I'll have consolation when I get there." She runs right up
Now, look. Looks like she could upbraided Him. Looks like she could've scorned Him. Said, "Why didn't You come to my brother? Why didn't You come when we called You? We've give up everything to follow You. We left the church. We've lost all of our prestige in the city. We've done everything. And when we sent for You to come to pray for Your own bosom buddy, You refused to do it." Seemed like she had a right to do it. If she would've done that, the story would've never been written.

L-61 It's your attitude towards it. Your attitude towards God's Divine gift, will purchase just what you ask for. Do you understand? Oh, how I'd like to stop right here, Brother Boze, and punch that for about a half hour, but I can't do it. Your attitude: God can send a gift, and no matter what you... Depends on what attitude you take towards it.
Look at them who smote His face and spit on Him, and everything, was no virtue there. But a woman that believed it was touched the hem of His garment, was healed. Is that right? All right. Depends on what you think about it. God sends it. It's your attitude towards any Divine gift, determines what you get out of it.

L-62 So there... She knew. And she run right up to Him. Look at her. I love this. She run right up, this young beautiful Jewish maiden fell down unto His feet and said, "Lord." That's what He was. There's your title. I believe You're the Lord. "Lord, if Thou would have been here, my brother would not have died."
Look at that. All the darkness, all the doubts, all the fears, everything had passed away; she was with Jesus then. She knew if He--if God was in His prophet, God was in His Son. And that was God's Representative then. Is that right? God has one major representative on the earth at a time. He had one Elijah, and as soon as Elijah was taken, then Elisha come. See? Only one major representative. You know Who His major Representative is today? The Holy Spirit; that's His Representative.
Now, if you can get to Him this afternoon and feel Him bless you, oh, oh, something's going to happen. There you are. Soon as you feel Him--feel Him touch you once in your body, and if faith confirm there, "Yes, I believe it." Something's going to take place.

L-63 She fell down at Jesus' feet; she said, "Lord, if Thou would've been here, my brother would not have died."
Now, just as the Shunammite was to the prophet, so was Mary to the Son of God. She recognized Him to be the Son of God. That's what He was. She recognized Him as the Lord. That's what He was. No matter what the other things was, He was the Son of God.
She said, "If Thou would've been here..." If she could only find favor with Him now, she would get what she asked. That's the reason the Shunammite woman would find favor with Elijah. See? She knew that was God's representative there, and if she could just find favor with him, that's why--that's what the case right then, had to be settled. "Now, if I can just find favor with Jesus, that settles the case."
