<TITLE>23. Par 87-90</TITLE>L-87 Now, look, Martha had read that story, no doubt. And she knew if God was in Elijah, surely He would be in His Son. Her brother was dead, but she wanted to see Jesus. Here she goes; she didn't come out to scold Him, she come out to worship Him. And she come running out; she fell down at His feet, and said... Now, watch how she approaches God. She fell down at His feet to worship, not to scold Him 'cause He didn't come do what she wanted to do. She come right. She come in the right mental attitude. That's the way you got to come. You've got to come to Him that way in the right mental attitude.
Fell down at His feet and said, "Lord," that's what He was, give Him His right title, what He claimed to be. Said, "Lord, if Thou would have been here, my brother would not have died."
Oh, watch, she's at the right place, before the right Person. Sorrow, heart, her poor eyes was streaked, beautiful girl, I guess. And oh, her eyes were streaked, the bread winner was gone, her brother was dead; he was buried, been dead four days, already skin worms in his body. Said, "If Thou would've been here, my brother would not have died. But even now (I like that.), even now, whatever You ask God, God will do it. Even now, Lord, he's dead, been dead four days, why, he's stinking. But even now, whatever You ask God, God will give it to You." That's right.

L-88 Brother, I can just see them cogs coming together like that. See? Something's got to happen. She's at the right Man, the right attitude, the right approach; everything's moving right. Can't you get that way just now too?
Said, "Even now, Lord, whatever You ask God..." Maybe God--the doctor told you you wasn't going to live, you got a cancer. What difference does that make? "Even now, Lord..." He's still hears you; He's sitting at the right hand of God. Don't you believe that, making intercessions? "Even now, Lord, whatever You ask God, God will do it."
He said, "Thy brother shall rise again."
"Oh," she said, "yes, Lord. I know he will raise in the last days, for he was a good boy; he will raise in the last days." They believe in the general resurrection (You see?), them Jews.

L-89 He said, "I am the Resurrection and Life." Oh, I like that. "I am the Resurrection and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth Me shall never die."
Brother, He wasn't very much to look at, but He had the Words of God in Him that meant truth. Said--said, "I am the Resurrection and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, ye shall he live: Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yes, Lord: I believe every word of it. I believe that You're the Son of God that was to come into the world."

L-90 There's God's representative; here's a broken-hearted woman; there's a dead man laying over there. This broken-hearted woman with perfect faith, is coming, recognizing this gift of God here, the Son of God, greatest gift ever give to the world; giving Him His right title, giving Him His right worship, saying, "I believe that You're the Son of God, and whatever You ask God, God will give it to You." Something's got to happen. Said, "Yes, Lord, I believe it. I believe that You're the Son of God that was to come into the world."
He said, "Where have you buried him?"
Here He goes. Now, on this, some time ago, long time ago, I met a woman who doesn't believe that Jesus Christ was Divine. You know, that's a common teaching today in the churches? Do you all know that? They believe Jesus was just a prophet or a good man. If He wasn't God, He wasn't nothing. If He wasn't God, He was the biggest deceiver the world's ever had. If He was just a prophet, His Blood was no more then my blood. He was God. He was more than a man; He was Divine.
