<TITLE>08. Par 89-109</TITLE>L-89 And they said he was crazy, setting up there? My. Come a... Come time to eat, here come the colored porter up, said, "Here you are, Elijah. Here's your breakfast." Why, he was better off than half the people in here tonight. I imagine there ain't very many in here tonight that's got colored servants. But he had some colored servants, some crows bringing him something to eat at every meal. Hallelujah. Glory. God had a dining room somewhere; He fixed it up, cooked it up, sent it to him. Hallelujah. That same God lives and reigns today.
He stayed in His provided way. God said, "Go up there and set down," so he done it. That's all he knowed to do. What do you think about that, believe that it's true? That is. Amen. Yes, sir.

L-91 A little girl was going down the street one day, she said...?... going, said... "Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah." She just got the Holy Ghost.
So there was an old infidel setting over in the corner, said "What's you so happy about, young'n?"
Said, "Oh, Jesus just saved me and filled me with the Holy Ghost." Said, "I'm so happy."
Said, "Look, what's that you got in your hand?"
Said, "My Bible."
Said, "Do you believe That?
"Sure."
Said, "Do you believe all of It?"
"All of It."
Said, "Do you believe that story about Jonah?"
"Yes."
Said, "Do you believe that actually that whale swallowed the man?"
"Yes, sir. I believe it."
Said, "How you going to prove it any other way besides faith?"
She said, "Well, when I get to heaven I will just ask Brother Jonah."
The infidel said to her, said, "What if Brother Jonah is not in heaven?"
Said, "Then you'll have to ask him." Hallelujah. Only one place left for him, that's hell.
If you reject God's way, you've got to go to hell. You have to. It's the only other way. So you're in the one way or the other. Amen. All right.

L-100 I can see him down there, sitting up there, and the ravens bringing him something to eat.
Walked back down there. He went down the hill, one day. And God said, "Now, the pool is dried up. I want you to go down there to a widow's house." What a place for a preacher to go. God told him to go. That's the provided way. He walked down there. And she wasn't an Israelite, either. No, she wasn't. And she walked back there... And he went down the hill.

L-102 And as he went down the hill, he met an old widow standing in the yard, a breaking her stick together. Said, "Go in and give me something to eat, and bring me some water."
She said, "As the Lord lives, and your soul never dies, I've only got enough meal in the house to make one little cake for my son. I'm taking two sticks that I might bake this cake, and he and I eat it and die."
Said, "Go, fetch me a little water, first, and bake the cake and bring it to me." Hallelujah.
What's she going to do? There's God's provided way. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all His righteousness."

L-106 You say, "Brother Bill, my mother run away from home." "My husband won't live with me."
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Hallelujah); all these other things will be added." That's right.
"How am I going to do it, Brother Bill?" Just go ahead and do it. Jesus said, "Follow Me." That's right. Keep your eye single. All right.

L-109 And the first thing you know, she goes in: she takes these two sticks and break them. You know how the old Indian way of breaking a stick? That was the cross, of course. And in the cross, they burn it right in the middle. That's where the fire was, burnt that hoecake oven.
Brought the hoecake out and give it to the preacher; he stood there and eat. Said, "Now, go back and get one for yourself and your son--son. For, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the barrel is not going to run empty, or the cruse dry, until the day that God sends rain on the earth." Hallelujah.
What? Because she sought the Kingdom of God first, 'cause she walked in God's provided way; God rewarded her. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.] Yes, sir.
