<TITLE>15. Par 49-51</TITLE>L-49 And here this little fellow just jumping and romping and playing, till he got big enough to go out in the field with his daddy. So he goes out in the field and is playing around out there one day. Now, I--I believe he got a sun stroke. It acted like it. He being so old, "My head..." about eleven o'clock in the day, "Oh, my head, my head." And so they didn't have air conditioning in that day like you have now. So they... He had a servant that set the little boy on a mule and take him up to his mother. And she put him on her lap and begin to rock him and do everything she could for him. And about noon, he died.
Now, talk about a dark hour. How could that woman at that time... What would you done? The darkest hour that ever struck her life. What happened? The midnight stroke... You know what lot of us would've done? Have been wailing and screaming and crying and going on. That's what we would've done. But not her, she was a woman of faith. You know what she did? She called on that God that she loved. Hallelujah. An inspiration that led her to do a favor for the prophet, said "Take that baby and lay him on that prophet's bed where he slept." What a place to take him. Just exactly right. Amen.
So I can see her pick the little fellow up in her arms and kiss him, brush his little curly hair back like that, walk out to the outside, down. And the father, following her, was screaming to the top of his voice, and all the neighbors were wailing, her walking quietly, tear run down once in a while. But it wasn't all finished yet.
It would've been if she had no hope. But there was something inside of her. Hallelujah. She know how she got him. She knowed the lips that spoke him here. She knowed there was a God of heaven, as Daniel said, "There is a God of heaven." Certainly. And she held the little fellow. Now, if she'd felt like it was all over, it would've been all over. But down in her heart there was something moving. When all hopes was gone, yet something begin to move. When all reasoning had gone... We cast down reasoning. It ain't what you can think in your mind, your intellect; it's what your soul tells you, what your heart tells you.

L-50 I can see her walking out through that little rose garden, down the little path, over to the little corner, open up the door. The welcome mat she steps over, where this man of God had stepped over, and laid the little fellow down, got Elijah's pillow, where that holy man of God had laid, and stuck it back under his little head, and put a little blanket up over his face. And she walked back out, and everybody's screaming and going on, and she said, "Saddle me a mule, and drive, and let's go to Mount Carmel as fast as we can go. And don't you stop 'less I tell you to stop."
"Oh," her husband said, "it's neither new moon or sabbath. The prophet only passes through here on those certain days and goes up there to fast and pray, up in that little cave. Well, now, there's--there's no--there's no need of going."
She said, "All is well." Amen. That just thrills me every time I think of it.

L-51 What was it? Something in her heart told her Elijah was there. You just--it just won't fool you; that's all. It's Divine revelation. Sure it is. The same thing that said, "Fix this for this holy man; give this holy man this nice little place and fix it," that same revelation was pouring through her, the same power, saying, "Elijah's up there; go get him."
Oh, praise God. If that revelation would strike this audience of people tonight, that Jesus has raised from the dead right here now, you wouldn't go out of here with a need. There wouldn't be a feeble person left in here. Sure.
She said, "Now, it's all right."
