<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And Gehazi run out, his servant, to ask. He said, "Is all well with thee, and is all well with thy husband, is all well with the child?"
Now, listen. The child a corpse, and her husband frantic, and her riding at a breakneck speed, she said, "All is well." I like that. She was before the servant of the Lord.
I think that's where Mary got the idea of meeting Jesus the way she did. Said, "Lord, if Thou would been here, my brother had not died, but even now, whatever You ask God, God will do it." See?
She knew that if God was in His prophet, surely, He was in His Son. So she approached in the right way, reverent, and she got what she asked for. That's the--the reason today that we don't get what we ask for; we approach in the wrong way. We got to approach with a sh... "He that cometh to God must believe that He is, and a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

L-6 Now, Elijah, after the woman run... Well, if everything was all right, what's her trouble, what's she upset about? She run and fell down at his feet and begin to tell him what had happened. And now, watch what he did. He said to Gehazi, his servant, said, "Gird up thy loins, and take the staff, this staff that I've handled, and you run before her, and if anybody speaks to you, don't speak back, and go in and lay the staff on the child." Get it? What he'd been handling (See?), he--he knew that what he touched was blessed, if the woman could only believe the same thing.
I think that's where Paul got taking handkerchiefs off of his body to send to the people. Now, we know that Saint Paul has done gone on; he's with Jesus tonight. Paul is gone, and we're not Saint Paul, but He's still Jesus, and He's just as duty bound to your faith as He was to their faith. So let us pray for these handkerchiefs now before we go forward.

L-7 [Brother Branham coughs--Ed.] My, if you'd only see these heartbreaking things. A few nights ago, I believe it was at Spindale, a little child laid his--laid his little toy automobile in to be... And a little girl here perhaps, has laid her little wristwatch, a little, looks like a little ten-cent store wristwatch... She's needy. Wouldn't that just make you feel real funny? Let us pray.
Our heavenly Father, O God, I know You understand. And tonight as You look down upon these handkerchiefs and this little wristwatch and little trinkets, it shows that there's a living faith even in little children. And we thank Thee for this. Maybe some poor old blind dad setting out here on the farm somewhere's waiting for a handkerchief to return. Maybe a little sick child in a hospital waiting for one of these handkerchiefs, a frantic mother walking the floor, but Thou art God. You know all things. And, Father dear, with all my heart, if it's one of my own children, my father, or mother, I pray with a sincerely, all I know how to do, and ask that You'll heal every one of them.

L-8 And now, when Satan sees this token of faith according to the Word of God, may he be like every time that when he tried to block God's people... One time in the Scripture we are told, that God gave the children of Israel the promised land, and they were on their road. And the Red Sea got in their way, but God's path led through it.
One writer said that He looked down through the Pillar of Fire with angry eyes because there was a hindrance in the way of His children. And the sea got scared when it saw the angered eyes of God, and it got scared and moved back and opened up a path right through the bottom of the sea, and they passed to the promised land unharmed.
