<TITLE>11. Par 27-28</TITLE>L-27 And if you'll notice, a very beautiful type in the Old Testament, not getting off my subject... I pray you'd forgive me. But Moses was a type of the church. And you notice today, the church does what Moses did. Moses glorified himself before the people, and instead of glorifying the Lord. Is that right? And he wasn't permitted the take the people over. And that's the way the church, today... The people say, "Well, I belong to the this organization. I belong to this." And the organization tries to see if they can out-do the other. And the Methodist try to get ahead of the Baptist, and the Baptist the Presbyterians, and like that, till it's got to a place till they glorify themselves, and instead of letting God come into the people, and--and magnify Himself in the people. Isn't that the truth? But did you notice, there was a man that followed them all the way through by the name of Joshua. He was right with them all the time. He's the one who took them over. Is that right? So this great, power of God that's moved in every revival, is the very thing that'll take the church over. Just as sure as the world, It'll take them across Jordan to the other land. There's many believers all along. We've always had it.

L-28 And let's take our story, for a moment, little Jairus, he had joined himself up over here. And what a... There come a time that he wanted to go see Jesus; only his church told him, "Now, if you go over there, of course, you're going to be put out." And he was the ruler of the synagogue, the pastor, perhaps. And he couldn't do it. But one day, his little girl got sick.
So they called the doctor, I suppose, as most all people would do. The doctor come, and here he tried all of his cures he had on the child, and the child just didn't get any better. Now, I'd imagine that when he seen the doctor's cures a--a failing, I imagine little Jairus, down in his heart, begin to think, "I wonder where Jesus is. If I happen to have to have Him, you know..."
You know, that's just about the way we have to wait until we get pushed into it, you know. So then, after while, the--the little girl, the great hour come that the doctor walked away and said, "Well, there's nothing more can be done. Jairus, your daughter is going to die. She just has a few more minutes of life left in her, and she's got to die." The dark stroke hit.
Now, he must put what faith he's got into action. And that's the same now. We've got to take what faith we've got, and put it to work. We've got to do something about it right now. The hour is come when we got to move.
And he said, "Well..." He wondered where Jesus was. I imagine I can hear him mention it to someone.
I can hear his people say, "Now, Jairus, don't you get all excited here now. See? At this great crucial hour now, if you start running out after this fanatic, this Divine Healer over here, why, we're just have to... At the next general counsel, we'll just have to put you out. That's all there is to it. That's just all there is to it. If you're going to believe in such things as that, now, we're just going to have to take you out. The next business meeting, we'll have to vote you out and put a new pastor in."
