<TITLE>05. Par 26-32</TITLE>L-26 Last evening when I seen those people coming from the balconies and around, weeping, standing around the altar, accepting Christ as their Saviour, I tell you, there's something emotional when the Holy Spirit sweeps over a audience of people, and see their faces light up with some kind of an--a radiance that this world can never produce nothing like it. To see a little house-woman with a little checkered dress on, so bashful she couldn't meet the insurance man at the door, stand and sing the praises of God, it's emotional. God moves in that, and it stirs up an interest. After while somebody tells somebody else, "Oh, you should come to see." Oh, I love it. "You should come to see what's going on." No doubt that God's gifts has always caused an enthusiasm.

L-27 People passing by and seeing the great gift of God in Solomon, working, they would spread it from one to another. And way down hundreds of miles below Palestine, a pagan queen, the queen of--of the south... Everyone coming through Palestine would pass by her and say, "Oh, you should see what's going on."

L-28 Wouldn't it be nice tonight if people were that enthused about God's doings tonight? "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word." And people would come through and tell her, the pass-throughers, "Oh, Queen, you should go up to Palestine. I'm telling you; it's marvelous. Their God has given them a gift, and it works in a man called Solomon. It's perfect."
Well, as I said, faith cometh by hearing. When you begin to hear these things coming from different resources, it causes the faith to rise up. So the queen of Sheba began to get a faith. And after while she decided she'd go see for herself.

L-29 Now, that's a good thing to do. Don't set on the sideline and criticize; come and see for yourself. Now, do you realize what a price this was for this little woman to pay? She had at least three months journey on the back of a camel. And no wonder Jesus said, "That queen will raise up in the judgment, and shall condemn this generation. For a greater gift than Solomon was, is standing with you, and you're turning it down and saying it's Beelzebub. You say I'm a fortuneteller, I'm a devil; and one greater than Solomon... And that little pagan queen will rise in the day of judgment, and will condemn this entire generation."

L-30 I wonder what would be said tonight after Jesus has died and rose again, and sent down the Holy Ghost with greater and more powerful things, and more of them than was ever done on the earth before? What will happen then to an educated, smart, intelligent people as we're supposed to be?

L-31 And this little woman, she must look one thing in the face. First, she was a woman, and a wealthy woman, and with three hundred miles now, not in a air conditioned Cadillac, but on the back of a camel; but in her little heart she was determined to find out whether it was the truth or not.
Oh, I love that. She wanted to know for herself. So if you become that determined, you won't let anything else stand in your way. No matter what it is, you'll be determined to find out. You'll never look to the circumstance; you'll follow your leading.

L-32 And as this little lady with the little caravan of camels and a few guards... Remember, the children of Ishmael was in the deserts them days, robbers. And she was loaded down with gifts. She said, "If the thing is true, I'll put everything I've got to its use."
Oh, I love that. If we can find out tonight that the Bible is true and Christ is raised from the dead, we ought to put everything we've got to the service of God: every talent, every hour, everything that we've got, and not let nothing stand in our way, but press until we really are convinced.
