<TITLE>06. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 Then notice, the little queen begin to hunger to see it. She wanted to see it. And you know, there's just something about the power of Almighty God that when the supernatural's done, every heart that's really right with God, longs to see it. Man is a supernatural being. He come from behind a dark curtain there. He's going out behind that dark curtain. He longs to look across the curtain and see from where he come and where he's a going. It's only natural that a man would do that, because he longs to do it.

L-32 Here some time ago in California, I was setting in a meeting disguised (That's right.), because a brother was preaching. And I was just setting there dressed a little different, and I happened to be setting by a Episcopalian minister.
And the minister on the platform, after he had spoke about a hour and a half, went back behind the curtains and the valet changed his clothes and come back out because he was perspiring. That's just what that Episcopalian minister wanted. He said, "He doesn't behave himself like a servant of Christ." Well, I didn't think it was too much myself, but I was sure going take up for my brother on the platform.
I said, "I think he's all right.
He said, "Are you one of these?"
I said, "I don't belong to this church. No, sir."
He said, "You know what," he said, "years ago..." I bet it wasn't a Episcopalian; it was a Presbyterian. He said, "We had the greatest churches on this west coast. We had the whole thing sewed down." And said that, "That cult of Christian Science come along." And said, "They broke up our churches." And says, "Looks like this fellow's going to break up the Christian Science."
Oh, I thought that was just a good place for me to put my little bit in. So I said, "Sir, if you Presbyterians would've fed the children the Bread of Life, you'd still been the leading church; but if you won't do it, God's able of these stones to rise children unto Abraham. He will feed His church. He promised to do it."

L-33 Oh, the great works of the living God. And then this little woman, after she'd been hearing about this, she thought she'd go see this for herself. That's a good way to find out. Don't take somebody else's word for it. Go, find out yourself. Set with an honest heart. Open up your heart and say, "Lord, now deal with me." And examine it by the Scriptures to see if it's right.
And she decided to go because the Word had been planted and she desired to see it.
I want you to notice, as it was with that little woman, so is it with every person that comes to God. It costs you a price. The first thing, to begin with she was a woman. And she had to cross a desert, not in a air-conditioned Cadillac, or not in some great beautiful plush car, but setting on the back of a camel.
Look at the space between Jerusalem and the country she came from. It taken her at least three months to come to Solomon on the back of a camel. And we will hardly, in a nice car, drive a mile to get to prayer meeting. What a difference.

L-34 And a gift of God, most of the time we say, "Oh, nonsense, nothing to it. Dr. Jones said so-and-so, and that settles it." That's the reason we get nowhere. That's what's the matter with the world tonight. That's what's the matter with the church tonight: if it had only knowed its day.
