<TITLE>09. Par 112-124</TITLE>L-112 There was a woman one time who lost her brother. His name was Lazarus. Oh, he was a good boy; she hated to give him up. And he died. She sent for her Pastor, or the Evangelist, which was Jesus. She had come out of the church, and she had give up all they had. And she sent for Jesus to come, pray, and He just went on. Sent again, and He just went on. He said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." The Father had already showed Him Lazarus was going to die.
He come, after while, after about three or four days. He said, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I'm glad I wasn't there. But I go wake him."
So then she heard Jesus was coming, so she went out to meet Him.

L-115 That was God's provided way, go meet Jesus. That's right, always. When you got sorrow in your home, go meet Jesus. Got sickness in your home, go meet Jesus. Got heartaches in your home, go meet Jesus. Hallelujah. If you got a need for anything, go meet Jesus. Go meet Him. He's got all the remedy, everything there. He ain't got the remedy. He's got the cure. Amen. Then she went to meet Him, and she fell down at His feet.

L-116 And she had read a story, one time, where there was a woman way back in the Bible, and a Shunammite. She was very mindful of a preacher by the name of Elisha. So she made a little chamber on the side of her house there, put a bed and a candle and a stool, so forth. And Elisha come by and he seen all this goodness she had done for the preacher, paid her tithes and everything, you know. So he said, "Go and ask, see what we can do, if I shall speak to the king or to the chief captain."
She said, "I abide with my people and everything's all right."
Said, "All right, go ask her what can I do."
Gehazi said, "She's barren. She has no children."
Said, "Go tell her, THUS SAITH THE LORD, 'About this time of the year, according to life, that she'll receive a son.'" And she did.

L-119 The kid got to be about eleven or twelve years old. One day, about noontime, he was out in the field with his daddy. I believe he got a sun stroke. He begin to holler, "My head. My head." He sent one of the servants in with the baby, the little boy, set him on his mother's lap. At noon he died.
What an appropriate place. She took him up and laid him on the preacher's bed, where the prophet had laid. Good place to go. Laid right on the preacher's bed.
She said, "Saddle me a mule now and go forward, and don't stop your riding until I bid you."

L-122 I like that. Go forward and don't stop. Just keep going. That's right.
The trouble of it is, we stop and talk to too many people. We stop for too many social parties. We have so much sew-and-sew, and organize a stitching party, you know, "Stitch-and-sew and talk about Miss So-and-so." You know how it is. All these different things come into the church, when you ought to throw all that gully-wash out, and have an old fashion, God-sent revival. Pray through, till you've bashed heavens down and the Holy Ghost comes like a rushing mighty wind and fills the place and the people. Amen. That's what we need.
She said, "Don't you stop."

L-124 And her husband said, "The man's not at Carmel." Said, "This is neither new moon or sabbath."
She said, "All is well." She wanted to get to the prophet. So she went straight on.
Elisha looked out and said, "Here comes that Shunammite. Something's wrong with her; I don't know what it is."
She run up. And he said, "Is all well with thee and thy husband, thy child?"
She said, "All is well." I like that. She's taking God's provided way. Said, "Everything's all right now." And then she begin to reveal it.
He told Elisha, said, "Go, take my staff and lay it..." Or, told Gehazi, "Go take my staff and lay it on the child."
But she said, "I'm not going to leave you." So the prophet came back over, prayed, walked up-and-down the room, laid his body upon the dead child, and it come to life.
