<TITLE>14. Par 48-49</TITLE>L-48 It come to be about twelve years old, and one day while he was out in the field with his father, probably in his seventies, an old man, and was out there in the harvest, because he was probably a rich man, he must've got a sun stroke or something. He begin to cry out, "My head, my head." And he had asked one of the servants to take him in to the mother, and the mother set him on her lap till it got about noontime, and the baby died, the little child.
Now, the baby's dead. What good did the baby do her if God gave her the baby and then here He takes it away from her? So you know what she did? If she'd been just a lukewarm church member, she would've got bitter right then. But being that she wasn't, she was blessed of God, because she'd made preparations. When that happened, she took the baby (Look what she did.), took the baby out the door, down the street, and around the corner, and took him in Elijah's room, and laid him on Elijah's bed. What a place to put him (Amen.), on Elijah's bed?
Look, I'm trying to say that the woman was inspired. And inspired people through all ages act strange to the world, but they're always doing God's will. It was a strange thing that Paul taken handkerchiefs off his body and aprons, and sent to the sick and afflicted. Something inside... Oh, I wish I could get you to see it. Something...
Now, what--what if the doctor standing there? Here come the mother with this stiff, dead baby, fell in the sun stroke, and his eyes walled way back, and his mouth open, his tongue out. And here she comes packing him, dead, going around to lay him in the preacher's bed. Why, he'd say, "You fanatic." She wouldn't have paid any attention to it. She was doing exactly what her inspiration was telling her to do.

L-49 May I stop here a minute? Did you know the Church of the living God... I'm going to say something. But the Church of the living God is built entirely upon spiritual revelation. That's right. It begin in Eden when Adam and Eve, and when Cain and Abel... Both boys went up to God and built an altar and worshipped God, both of them, one a believer and the other one an unbeliever. And if God only requires you to have faith in Him, to believe in Him, to join church, to make a sacrifice, God would be cruel and unjust to condemn Cain, for he done the same thing Abel did. See how the devil's got people today? They think, "Well, I go to church. Sure I believe in God. I believe Jesus is the Son of God."
Every devil in hell believes the same thing. They publicly confessed it. That's right. The devil said, "We know who you are, the holy One of God," publicly, before thousands, confessing Him to be the Son of God. They wasn't saved. Conversion is an experience, borned again. Notice how glorious, what a wonderful thing.
