<TITLE>16. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 And he lived; the snakeroot failed. Amen. God's got a remedy tonight. Hallelujah. That remedy is Jesus Christ His Son by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. You think I'm crazy. Maybe I am. If I am, I'm happy. But I'm more happier this way then I was the other way. So I'd rather be like this. See? So I'm--I'm just feeling wonderful.
All right, yes, sir, God had a provided way. One time there was a fellow named Elijah. The Lord told him, said, "This country's so sinful," said, "I'm going to send judgment upon it. But Elijah, I'm going to make a way of escape for you."
"What are You going to do, Lord?"
"I want you go up there and set down by the pool of--of Cherith, up on top of that mountain yonder."
Elijah walked through the streets, said, "Well, it ain't going to rain till I call for it. I'm going up yonder and set down on the mountain."
And when the drought come... Could you imagine those people along home saying, "Look at that crazy old crank up there, setting up there by a little old spring on top of that mountain, when you know the water ain't up there." But God kept it running. I'm so glad He does.
Here, setting up on top the mountain. Said, "I bet that old guy's dried up up there."

L-63 No, no, no, he's doing just... He take God's provided way. God said, "You go up there and set down, 'cause I've already commanded the crows to feed you."
They said, "That poor old crank setting up there starving to death."
Well, he was doing better off. I bet he's better off then a lot of you are here tonight. He had some colored servants to wait on him. I bet you haven't got that. Yes, sir. Crows come by and waited on him. Is that right? That's right. He had colored porters, and half of you haven't got that. They come by and waited on him, the crows, as they passed by.

L-64 Some preacher said to me not long ago, said, "Billy, do you mean to tell me that you believe that them crows brought that fellow food?"
I said, "That's what the Bible said; I believe it." Yeah.
Said, "I want to ask you something." Said, "How in the world did those crows get them sandwiches and bring it to Elijah?"
I said, "I don't know." I said, "The only thing, the crows got it; the crows brought it; Elijah received it; that settles it." I said, "Just exactly like now, I can't tell you what makes me act like this; only thing I know; God taught it; the Bible said so; the Holy Ghost brought it; I received it; I just have a good time."
I don't know how it comes, I just... It's just here. Hallelujah, I don't know. God said so, I just--I just eat it. Holy Ghost brings it, I say, "Yes, Lord."

L-65 "Well, they're going to call you holy-roller."
I don't care, Lord, I just love it; it feels good; I just keep on eating. Send it down. Amen. Just give me a bigger bite of the sandwich. That's all.
I can hear them say, "Oh, my, standing around there trying to find..." And that old preacher setting up there, was supposed to be the fanatic, setting down, not--not worried about a thing. See? Set there all day long. Said, "O Lord, I love You, praise the Lord. God, I just praise You."
Crow come by, said, "Elijah, here you are."
Take this great big sandwich, said, "Oh, my." Them fellows down there gnawing their tongues... Just get right down at the brook and drink whatever he wanted to, and yet called crazy.
