<TITLE>17. Par 110-110</TITLE>L-110 cont. He said, "Make me one first." Hallelujah. Oh, I know I'm a little bit crazy, but I'm on the Lord's side anyhow. Said, "Make me one first, for THUS SAITH THE LORD..." There you are.
111d      What is it? "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness," not the Kingdom of God or a little noise, not the Kingdom of God and a little emotion, not the Kingdom of God and a little this or that, but God in His righteousness and all these other things will be added to you. But first...
Now, that widow heard that. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the Word." She said, "That's the Word of the Lord for that's a holy man of God. That's God's prophet, and I know it's the truth and that's the Word of God."
Now, she didn't run across to ask the neighbors how to do it. She didn't want to go to share her--to tell the neighbor said, "Well, what do you think? The preacher's over to my house saying this. Susie, what do you think about this?" She went ahead and begin to dump out. She let go. She let go of what she had that she might get more. That's what the world needs today is a good old fashion letting go of what you got. Hallelujah.
111e      She dumped out so she could get filled up. She dumped all the oil she had and all oil she had, and all the meal she had to the preacher, to the Kingdom of God. And when she dumped it all in there, God come down and filled up the meal barrel and filled up the oil jug. She dumped it again in the preachers face and He come back, filled it up again. He dumped it... Every time she dumped, He filled. I'll say today if man will dump out all this nonsense of carrying on and impersonating Christianity and let the Holy Ghost take Its place, there'll be a revival will start on Eighth and Penn Street that'll sweep the whole country. Quit the nonsense. Get back to the Word of God.
Dump out if you want to fill up. You let go and God will let come. You dump out; God will fill in. Oh, the petty things that you've got to do this, and you've got to do that, and you ought to do this, and you ought to do that. Forget it. Dump it out of your soul.
Say, "God, let me from this holy, in this day be wholly Thine. Lord, I come with a broken heart. I come with a contrite spirit. I love You. And You know I love You; and I want to forget all this foolishness of all these forty day fasts and see if I can get closer to God, and all this, that, and the other, all of this nonsense." Stop it.
111f      There's nothing in the Word tells you to have a forty day fast, not a thing. Nothing in the world telling you to fast 'less God would tell you. And if you fast, you ain't going to get hungry and go all these things. After your fasting, brother, you'll be joy and happy all the time.
Said, "Don't appear before men like hypocrites do with a long sad face. I'm on a forty day fast; my plates won't fit me any more. I've lost thirty pounds, and they told me I looked better after this is over." Oh, nonsense. It's enticing spirits of the devil.
Get up to the altar and say, "Glory, glory, glory," till you can't hardly say anything else and say you got to speak in tongues before you get the Holy Ghost. Nonsense. Dump it out. Get that out of your system and come on the Word of God. He said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." If God don't keep His Word, He's not God. Amen. Dump out. Get filled up. Amen. Whew. I love that. That's His Word. God said so. That's right. And when God said it, God will take care of it. All right. All the preparations you make, all that going to church you do...
