<TITLE>09. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 But maybe this woman set a plate full of them on the table, and Elisha had a--a real jubilee. And he thanked the woman for it. And time after time he passed by. So the good woman's own impression or revelation... Do you believe in following revelations? Certainly. I believe the church is built upon Divine revelation. And as she was inspired to do something for this man...
I can hear her say one day to her husband, "Now look, dear, we're--we were well--we can do this. We have plenty. We have great farms and so forth, and we're able to do this. Now, we are both believers in Jehovah, and this is His servant. Now, let's do something nice for him, and in doing for him, we'll be doing for Jehovah. And, after all, you're getting aged, and I'm in the middle age; so it won't be long till it'll all fall somewhere; and we have no children or nothing to go to. So let's just do something nice for Jehovah by entertaining His prophet; for I perceive that he is a holy man, and he passes this a way."
She called him the man of God, for she seen God working in him. And she knew that God was in this prophet, and she wanted to give respects to God. And the only way she could give respects to God was to respect the servant of God. Now, friends, that's the way you do it, is when you respect God's order. That's true.

L-32 Here not long ago... I say this with respect to my Catholics friends here tonight, and lot--many of my people are Catholic. But I say this not to hurt you, never. I never come for that. I come to bless you. And nothing to say anything against your religion. For I'll say this: If the Protestant lived as true to his teaching as the Catholic did to his, we'd have a different world. That's right. But... What they're taught they believe.
But not long ago in the Vatican, I went over to see the Vatican. I was having a meeting there for two nights right in Rome. And the next day in the stone's throw of the Vatican, they taken me over to see something strange. It was a great church, and down beneath they had like a--a vineyard, or I would say, a planting place.
And when the monks died, they taken them there and planted them, like you would seeds in the ground, and let them stay there until the meat fell from the bones. Then they take the bone and polish it up and make light fixtures, and--and make places, and put the skulls on the corner. And it's just lined and packed up, oh, high as this ceiling, just all kinds of bones of the monks; had many there then, turning back to the dust.

L-33 And to see the superstition of the people. They had rubbed those bones until they was almost rubbed them in two. And just little superstitions like that... God doesn't dwell in bones. God dwells in Spirit in mankind, the impulse of the heart as it beats through man. God has servants.
You say, "Well, what about when they laid the man on Elijah's bones, and he came to?" Well, that just happened to be a time that this, not exactly a coincidence, and yet it was too. Because there was an alien army coming after these people, and they didn't know... They didn't put him in there purposely. They just threw him in there, and God raised him up right quick when he struck Elijah's bones, in order to run away the army. Not anything in the bones; Elijah was in glory. Amen. So God dwells in human beings. Amen.
Now, the only way people will see Jesus when they see--when they see Him in you. You are written epistles. If Christ's Spirit dwells in you and brings your condict--conduct into subjection to His Spirit, and makes you act like Him, and talk like Him, walk like Him, live like Him. See? People see Jesus in you. There's the old song, "Let others see Jesus in you."
