<TITLE>14. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 But listen the time had come, the crucial moment, that he had a need. That's what we need today. When the time comes for a need, when death's knocking on your door, if you've never tasted of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and know the power of God to be borned again. You might laugh at it now, but when the need comes, you'll don't care who's standing around, whether you're excommunicated or not, you'll find your way to Christ, as certain as anything.
Your church creeds won't have nothing to do at that day. No matter how loyal a member of the church you've been, Jesus said, "Except a man be borned again..." That little spark that makes you believe that, listen to it tonight, water it with faith. God will grow it into a tree of salvation to you.

L-46 Now, as we see this little fellow making his way down, and all the people criticizing him. But remember, he couldn't say now, "Oh, I will wait till a more convenient time." It was then. Action had to take place. He had to get to Jesus, or his child would die. And brethren tonight, if we don't get people to Christ, they'll die. The hour is here.
People says, "I will believe in Divine healing in the millennium." Well, what you need with Divine healing when you're immortal. Today is the day, no more chance. This is the day of salvation. Let's get people to Christ.

L-47 Then I can see Jairus as he moves on. After while he comes in contact with this lovely little Fellow coming, weary-eyed, drooped-down, looked to be fifty when He was only thirty, probably graying a whole lot, the strain of the work. They told Him, He looked like He was fifty. Said, "You're not a Man yet no more than fifty, and You say you have seen Abraham."
He said, "Well, before Abraham was, I AM."
There He was, but He looked fifty when He was thirty, probably stooped over a little as He walking about. When Jairus seen Him, there stood all the priests around mocking Him, making fun of Him and everything. Some of them glorifying God for healing the woman... The priest said, "It's nothing but mental telepathy. There's nothing to it."
"He didn't know that woman. How did He know it had--she had a blood issue."
"I don't believe that. That's of the devil. He is Beelzebub." Making fun of Him and everything.
But some of them was hollering, "Hosanna to God in the highest." They were rejoicing.

L-48 Then I can see the priest say, "You see who's a doing that, the trash, the lowbrows." Oh, my, if it takes that to believe God, I'm a lowbrow then. That's right. The common people heard Him gladly.
Then Jairus walked up and become one of those lowbrows, as the street expression is. He run up, and fell down at His feet, and said, "Lord, I've got a little girl laying over there, just at the point of death."
I can imagine him saying this, "I heard of You. Always down in my heart, I believed that You was. I know I've been taught not to believe it and everything, but Lord, down in my heart You know my heart, if You knowed that woman's blood issue; and You knew all these other things that You know. And God has told You. No doubt but what You know my heart. So I come. Come, lay Your hands upon her, and she will live." There you are, just where your faith lies.
