<TITLE>05. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 After while she begin to realize that there was something real good about the man. So she said to her husband, she said, "You know this man that passes by here is a--a man of God. He's God's servant. And now, we're worth a little money. We've been giving just a little bit as he pass by. Let's show him some kindness. Let's build just a little room out here somewhere. When he passes by, he looks so tired and weary, when he's on his road up the mountain to pray and fast; for days at a time he goes up there. And let's just make a little place out here that's on our... We got plenty of ground, so let's build him a little room out here, and put a little table in it, and a candle, and a little stool; that when he passes by, why, he can come in and refresh hisself, and lay down on the bed, and rest a little while." That's--that's thinking a whole lot of someone.
So they... She fixed him this place. And the husband, being a, perhaps, a just and good man, he said, "Well, that would just be fine."
So they go and build a little place and just give it to the prophet as he passes by.
And it came to pass, one day, when Elisha was coming that way, that he--he stopped by. And he found this little place. Of course, he was very happy to find that the people loved him.
Now, everybody wants to be loved. I tell you the truth. I do. I want God to love me, and I want the people to love me. That's exactly the truth. And if God loves me, then the people will love me. And if I love His people, then He will love me for doing it. God would rather I'd love you, than love Him. Did you know that? I'd rather you love my boy back there, no matter what you say about me. I want you to love my children. And any father would think that. So Father God thinks the same thing for He said, "Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these, My little ones, you have did it unto Me." So if you want to love God, just start loving all of His children. And God will reward you. If you'll just love His children that shows the love of God is in you.

L-12 Jesus said, "This is the way that all the people to know that you're--you're children of God and passed from death unto Life, when you have love one for another." Then you'll know it. Not because you can have a big church, that's all right. Not because that you have a lot of fine ministers come by, that--that's good, too. But it's because that you have love one for another.
Now, when this revival's over and you all go to your respective churches... We're not here to proselyte, and tell you, "All leave one church and go to another." You keep your church. Try to bring some sinners into that church.
Then when you go back to your respective church, go back with such a heart full of love. And that--that woman that you just couldn't stand or that man, love him or her anyhow. They'll know you got something out of the meeting then. That's right. If you don't do that, then you--you--you haven't gained anything yet. 'Cause you've got to have love one for another. Then the people... The--the outside world will know that you've passed from death unto Life when you have love one for another.
Jesus said, "You're the salt of the earth. But if the salt's lost it's savour (That's its strength.), it is henceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trod under the foot of man." About here last year, I was holding your convention for the Four Square people in California, and I passed the Salt Lake Deserts and that's what I seen then, the salt left its savour, nothing but just to make walks out of.
