<TITLE>11. Par 27-28</TITLE>L-27 So the woman said, "Now, you go forward. Don't you slack a bit, because we got to get up there now; we got to make haste."
Well, the servant of God was setting up in His little den room, wherever it was, back in the mountains. And he looked out, and he seen the Shunammite coming. He said, "Gehazi," said, "here comes that Shunammite woman; I wonder what's the matter." Now, God don't tell His prophets everything. He just tells them what He wants them to know. What they don't... He don't want them to know, He just keeps it to Himself.
But here come this Shunammite woman and this little servant just a beating the mule in a hurry. Said, "I wonder what the hurry is about?"
Said, "Go out and meet her." And said, "Ask her if all is well with her, all is well with her husband, and all is well with the child."
So he hollered, said, "Is all well with thee? And is all well with thy husband? Is all well with the child?"
Look. Here's what I like about the lesson. She said, "All is well." Amen. The baby a corpse, but "All's well." What was it? Everything was under the consideration then. She had the situation curbed. Her hearts desire, what was telling her in her heart, was to get to that prophet. And there she was right in the presence of the prophet. So if God had took her baby, that was His will, everything would be all right. "All is well. All is well with my husband. All is well with me. And all is well with the baby."

L-28 She run right up to Elisha and fell down at his feet, perhaps begin to kiss his hands or something. Gehazi thought, "That's not right for her act around my master like that." So he jerked her up. And threw her away from him. "Here, you can't do that. You can't come up to my master like that."
Elisha said, "Let her alone. For there's sorrow in her heart, and God's kept it a secret from me. I don't know what's the matter with her, but there's sorrow in her heart."
Then she raised up. And she begin to reveal to him what had happened, saying that what had taken place, that her baby had died. And said, "Didn't I tell you, don't lie to me? Now, my baby's dead. I've got him laying in your room. The neighbors are all around. They're fixing to embalm his body. And I've come to you."
Now, watch. Elisha said, "Take this staff, Gehazi, and you go forward, and if anybody speaks to you, don't you even speak to them. Take this straight to the baby and lay it on the baby. Or if somebody speaks to you, don't speak back. Don't stop for any social affair."
