<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 And how that when Elijah saw her coming... God does not reveal everything to His prophets. He just lets His prophets know what He wants them to know. He doesn't reveal everything to His prophet.
And this great prophet, Elijah, though as mighty as he was, and blessed of God, yet he said, her heart was full of sorrow, and God had kept it from him, and hadn't told him nothing about it. And when she got close enough, he said, "Is all well with thee? And is all well with thy husband? Is all well with thy son?"
Now, listen at the woman. She said, "All is well." What faith! I would to God that we could have faith like that. There, her baby was laying a corpse, and her husband wringing his hands and pulling his hair, screaming and crying outside the house, and the neighbors all crying. And here she was, a mother with a choice of her heart pulled out and took in death, but, "All is well."
She was up close to the man that represented God there. He was God's closest representative. "All is well." Then she run up and fell down at his feet, and begin to reveal to him what had happened.

L-14 And Elijah told his servant, said, "Take my staff and go forward. And if anybody salutes you, don't salute back. Just go and lay the staff on the baby."
I do think that's where Saint Paul got the idea of taking handkerchiefs off of his body, 'cause Elijah knew that anything that he touched was blessed, because the Spirit of God was on him.
But the woman's faith wasn't in the staff; it was in the prophet. And I like her determination. She said, "As the Lord lives and your soul never dies, I'll not leave you."
We tonight could hold onto God's representative like that. If you could tell the Holy Spirit tonight, "As sure as You are the immortal Spirit of God, You give me a promise in the Bible of my healing. And I'm going to hold on till I see something happen," there would be miracles taking place. The lame would be ji--jumping and running, and the--the doctors of Los Angeles would be surprised tomorrow to see their patients healed and well.

L-15 If we could just take a hold of God's agent. God's agent then was Elijah. God's Agent today is the Holy Spirit. Hold onto It. When you ever come in contact, and you feel the Holy Spirit on you, then hold on to It. "I'll not leave You." Stay with it like Jacob did when he wrestled with the Angel. "I'm going to hold on till You bless me and give me the things that I'm desiring."
Wouldn't it be a wonderful revival break out in the Angelus Temple, and all up-and-down the coast here, if the people that's right here tonight, and those that are listening in on the air, would take that attitude towards the Holy Spirit tonight: "I'm going to stay with You until I find out the thing that I want to know."

L-16 And Elijah seen he had her on his hands. There was nothing else to do but go with her.
And if you'll just stay with the Holy Spirit. Stay on His hands. He loves you well enough to come to you, and bless you, and save you, then stay on His hands. Don't you remember Jesus teaching about the unjust judge? How he said, "I fear neither God nor man. But the woman torments me day and night crying after me." How much more will God give them the Holy Spirit who cry after Him day and night.
We got faith to believe that God can do it, and will do it. Let's take a hold of it and hold on. Just don't let It go. Stay right with It. If it don't come now, it'll come ten minutes later, hour later, two weeks later, a month later--no matter when it comes, I got a hold, and I'm going to stay with it.
