<TITLE>09. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 I was... Now, in the 8th chapter of Saint Luke, the reading of a verse, and just a few comments. Last night, I was a little late, so I'm going to try to be just on time tonight, if possible.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying,  Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Our Scripture reading tonight, is concerning a desperate man, in desperation, a man by the name of Jairus. It was in the--right in the middle of the ministry of our blessed Redeemer, Saviour, when He was here on earth. He spent much time in prayer; He went up into the mountains, and He prayed. And a day before this He had just crossed over a sea, all the way over a stormy sea to help one single person. He went over to Gadara to help a maniac over there that was bound in the tombs, crossed over a stormy sea to help one man in trouble, 'cause one soul was calling for Him. And He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. He come out of glory tonight, come out of His--with His power to make one single person of this earth, well tonight, to help one person. And I believe that He'd be there for each day, thousands around the world, where great campaigns are being held now in the closing up of the Gentile dispensation. May He come tonight.

L-23 We are thinking of Jairus. I believe he was a nice, little fellow. Many times that we judge people by their actions, and sometimes we don't judge the heart.
You know, I've often thought, back here is the spirit of a man, the next is his soul, the next is his mind, and then his flesh. All right. Satan does not tempt down in here, he tempts out here in the flesh. For instance, you go down the street tomorrow, you're walking along singing Christian songs, and somebody says, "You know, she or he, is just a hypocrite (talking about you.); there's nothing..." Now, the first thing, your flesh picks that up in the ear, and it suggest to the mind, "Get even with him." Time it gets back here, he says, this back here says, "'Vengeance is Mine,' saith the Lord. 'I will repay.'" See? That's it.
So Satan tempts out here. You see? He doesn't get down here, because is immortal. See? It's the flesh that he tempts.
Young man going down the street, young Christian boy, a young lady coming immorally dressed. The eye picks it up; the flesh suggest to the mind evil. Then time it gets to the mind, goes to the soul, the nature's good... The soul of man is the nature of the spirit, of course. And so, when the soul gets there, but the Spirit says, "Whoever looketh upon a woman to lust after has committed adultery in his heart already." The young man turns his head and walks away. See? That's down here is where it's got to be, not out here. It's got to be down in your heart, where it's got to come from, where--where God lives.

L-24 And little Jairus, I'd imagine, down in his heart he believed on the Lord. But what he had, he had joined up with a bunch of unbelievers. You know there's a lot of people like that tonight? They believe, would like to be right here in this meeting tonight, but they're got their name on books that doesn't believe this. You see? So they're secret believers.
And Jairus... You know a man like that, God sooner or later will bring it to a showdown, I believe. So Jairus probably went with the priest, and they said, "Ever who goes to these healing campaigns, can just come get your membership and leave." 'Cause they couldn't no more belong to the synagogue. See? They had to get out. And so they--they couldn't believe on this fanatic, because He didn't teach the way their seminaries taught, and so forth, so... But He did have the Word of the Lord. And He had a spiritual move. God always...
