<TITLE>05. Par 24-28</TITLE>L-24 Now notice, a crossing that desert on a back of a camel, taking her about ninety days. Measure it on your map how far it is. Not only that but there were dangerous perils in the desert. Ishmael's children was in there, the robbers. And they... What that poor, little woman out there by herself and a queen. What would her little handful of eunuchs be up beside of the great swarm of Ishmaelites, robbers?
And not only did she say this, "I'll go see for myself." But she said, "I'll take an offering with me. If the thing is right, I'm going to support it with all I got." I like that.
She ladened her camels with frankincense, with gold, with silver. And what a perfect setup for the robber. But she had faith that she'd see it. And if you're determined to see whether Christ has raised from the dead or not, regardless of the price, God will make a way for you to see it. That's right.

L-25 And she took her offerings, and she placed them on her camels, and she set there, that little woman, going across the desert, day and night, day and night, determined to see if this great gift of God really operated. She thought, "I've never heard such in my day. But I'll go and see if it's right." She finally arrived at the gates. She didn't come just to stay for one night of the revival. She was going to stay until she was convinced.
Oh, God, I pray that people will get that attitude: stay till it's over; be sure that you know. Don't walk up to the altar, say, "Lord, if You want me to have the Holy Ghost, give It to me. Well, You didn't do it. I will go back. There's nothing to it." That's the reason you don't receive it.
When you're prayed for, "I don't look any different. I guess there's nothing to healing." Stay till you're convinced.

L-26 She unloaded the camels. She put her soldiers away. And when she walked over to the palace seat, and she stood at the door, and she seen this great gift of God begin to move upon Solomon, when she seen that discerning of Spirit, till there wasn't no one come before him that could match his wisdom... He had a discerning spirit. And she stayed for many days and she watched.
And after she was convinced, she went and unlabeled--ladened her camels. Give the great offerings for support. And not only that, she said, "All that I have heard has been right and more than I have heard."
Oh, if the church of the living God could only come to the place that they would stay at the foot of the cross, humbling themselves until they were convinced that Jesus Christ lives and reigns.

L-27 It is a great hour that we're living, a great day that we're living. And God has sent His Son as a propitiation for our sins. He died in our stead. He was the innocent One that became guilty, that we guilty might be innocent. The story is this. Think of it as you measure your own corruptible life in His Presence. Jesus became you that you through His grace might become Him.
You who were going to hell, He took your place, that you might set in heaven with Him at His place. You who were a son of the devil by nature, He took the nature or the sin of your nature that you might become a son of God and set in the heavenlies with Him. That's the story. And He did not leave us without witness.

L-28 He said, "A little while, the world will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me for I (and 'I' is a personal pronoun), I will be with you, even in you to the end of the world. And the things that I do shall you do also. More than this shall you do, for I go to My Father. He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also."
Now, "I will not leave you comfortless. I'll pray the Father. He will send you the Holy Spirit of truth." And the Holy Spirit when He come was to bear witness of Jesus. Now, if that isn't true, then God promised something that He wasn't able to do.
