<TITLE>06. Par 33-39</TITLE>L-33 Now, she could've been robbed. The children of Ishmael could've come down. She had frankincense, and gold, and myrrh, silver; the camels were laden. What a pocket, what a setup for those bandits of the desert; and a helpless little woman... But you know what? No matter what the opposition looks like, if you are determined to find out truth, God will lead you and protect you to that thing.

L-34 She was determined. She'd heard. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word." She was pressing her way on. And Satan would say, "Now, you're going to get held up. You're going to do this. This is going to happen." That's the same devil that talks today, same devil. But she was determined. And remember, she was a woman out on that desert for three months. She come three months journey through a desert on a camel to test and to see for herself if it really was the God of heaven Who could send gifts.

L-35 And we sometimes set back in our little religious camping shell, and wouldn't walk across the street to find out whether it was right or not. Then what will this generation come to in the day of judgment? When Jesus had just said, "Speak against Me, the Son of man, call me a devil or a Beelzebub, and it will be forgiven you, but when the Holy Ghost is come, speak against that will never be forgiven you."... Then what kind of people should we be? Now, we must be very reverent.

L-36 And as we notice, the little lady pressed her way on, for she was determined to find out. And God's hand protected her till she finally arrived at the place. If you're really in your heart, trying to find out what's right, God will lead you to that spot. He will protect you all along the road and bring you to that spot. And as we see her dismount from the camel out in the front of the palace... Now, she didn't come to stay one night. She come, and pitched tents and camps, and stayed till she was convinced. We can't stay but one night, maybe one hour, not even through one meeting. But she come to stay until she was convinced. And she held her gifts back until she found out.

L-37 But notice, day after day I could see the little queen as she walked in the audience there, and seen the people come before Solomon, watch that great gift begin to move. At the great earnestness that it was operated by, how the shrewd mind of God alone could do those things. She watched it in this case. She watched it in that case. She tested it. She watched it when different people would come until after while she went... When she got ready to go, when she was convinced, she said, "All that I have heard has been right, and more than what I've ever heard, is right. It's greater than I even heard that it was."

L-38 And the Bible said that she'll raise up in the last days and will condemn the generation of unbelievers. She come from the utmost parts of the earth to watch a gift of God work.

L-39 Now, how much history of the Bible have we since that day? How many generations has passed? How the Lord Jesus has come and gone, how the Holy Spirit has come down, through Luther, Knox, Sankey, Finney, all along down through the ages, and right down here in the final windup of it all when every nation is sitting at needles' point, when missiles are in the skies, tidal waves are hitting the banks. More people dying with heart trouble, especially men, than ever was known. The Bible said, "Man's hearts failing..." Fear, perplexed of time, distress between the nations, and all these great signs that Jesus spoke of is here, and He's poured out His Holy Spirit and set signs and wonders and gifts into the church; and the outside world's standing on a ring, mocking and making fun of it. What will be their final doom? Religious men...
