<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 Say, "I was just testing, but truly, I had a friend to come by and tell me, and I believe on Him. I, really in my heart, believe He is the Son of God. Oh, if we could only get over the lake and back in time before she dies."
And about that time, I see a little boy coming up the street hollering, "Everybody, everybody, Jesus of Nazareth just landed down there." New hopes... Amen. Faith begin to move. "Faith cometh by hearing."
New hope begin to come. I can see the little priest say, "Mother, it may mean my position here in the church, but that's my dying baby."

L-39 I tell you, not wait till some other time... wait... He had a need to get to Jesus right then. Not "Till I feel like it..." It was time to move. And if there ever was a time to move, it's time to move now.
"Oh," he said, "The... Not wait till I'm a better, convenient time; now is the time."
It was time for action. And now is the time for action. Now is the time for you people with cancer that the doctors turned down. Now is the time to you people with heart trouble that the doctor has turned down. Now is the time for you people setting here lame and halt, that the doctors has turned down. Now is the time for you all on the stretcher the doctors turned down. Now is the time to go into action. What kind of action? Let your faith loose.
"Faith cometh by hearing." Jesus Christ raised from the dead. He's here. "Faith cometh by hearing."
They said, "He's right down over the hill there."
Little Jairus trying to get his little coat and put on him, like that. She said, "Where you going, honey?"
"I'm going to find Him."

L-40 That's the way to do it. Gets his hat and puts it on... The first thing you know, here comes the ministerial group coming out. "Jairus, why, the very audacity. Do you mean to tell me that you're going... Where you going?"
"The doctor just give my child up. My only hope, I've got to go down to that Prophet that's coming across down there, the Son of God."
"Why, we'll excommunicate you."
I can see him turn around and say, "Excommunicate what you want to; my faith is built in nothing less...?... Jesus Blood and righteous. Do all your excommunicating you want to. I'll excommunicate myself." Faith done took a hold then, but they can't stop it now, it's moving on.
"Why, Jairus, a learned man like you are, a scholar, don't you know the days of miracles is past?"
"No, sir, I don't. No, sir. Here I go."
"Well now, Jairus, your only going to bring reproach; that's all. A man with your... A dignitary like you are, with all the class that you a deal with. All your friends will turn you down, if you ever join yourself with that bunch of fanatics."

L-41 Don't make any difference, something down in his heart told him get to Jesus. He had a need. And every man that really feels that tug of the Holy Spirit will lay aside everything else and run to Him. If you really get to needing it bad enough, if it becomes between death and life, you'll move, no matter what anybody says. That's right. Yes, he must get to Jesus; it's between death and life. He must find Him right quick.
And it might be later than you think. Go hunting quickly. "The day that you seek Me with all your heart, that's the day you'll be--I'll be found of you, when you seek Me with all your heart."
