<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Now, watch. She goes to the kitchen. She scrapes down the barrel and gets that little handful of meal. She said, "He will wake up in a few minutes, crying. I'll cook the meal, and then he will have his little breakfast," whatever it is, the little corn cake. "Then I'll take him in my arms and rock him until death takes us both."
Now, she went to the last thing she had, was meal. Now, meal in the Bible represents the meal offering. The meal offering was Christ. Christ was the meal offering in the Old Testament.
Do you remember when Elijah... Some of the school of preachers up there, didn't know the difference between wild gourds and peas, up at the school of the seminary? And they went out and gathered a apron of them and put them in a pot and a--some cried out, "There's death in the pot." And Elijah took a handful of meal and throwed it into the pot and changed it from death to life.
That's what Christ does when He's put on the case of a dying man, He changes him from death to life.

L-30 The meal offering had to be ground with a certain burr. That burr had to be so perfect that it ground every grain of corn just the same, showing that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
She got the meal, Christ. Christ is the Word. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." The Word, then the oil, the oil represents His Holy Spirit. And she took the Holy Spirit, the Word and the Truth. Jesus said, "The time's coming," to the woman at the well, "that God will honor those who worship him in Spirit and in Truth."
Many people worship in Spirit and not in Truth, many in Truth and not in Spirit. But when you get them together, then you got something when the Spirit of God gets into the Word. She mixed it together. And when you get the Spirit of God on you, mixed with God's Word, something's going to happen.

L-31 The doctor might've sent you home to die with a cancer. And all the man knows, he's done everything that he knows in his knowledge, of the books of learning to save your life. He wants to see you live. But maybe, he don't know no more. But you take God's Word tonight and mix It with the spirit of faith, watch what will take place.
She begin to mix this. Now, it won't mix good, unless it's got some fire under it. It has to bake it into a bread, which makes life. And when she got her little meal and oil mixed together, the Word and the Spirit, then Something said, "Go out into the yard."
At the same time, the Holy Spirit, upon top of the mountain where this old prophet had been setting up there, said, "Go down to the city, for I've got a widow down there. I've ordained her to sustain you."
She must've been a righteous woman, or God would never sent His prophet to stay with her. But God knows your needs.

L-32 She went out into the yard. The prophet took off towards the city with a vision, trying to find a yard that had a woman in it. And he was walking down the streets looking, for the vision that the Lord had showed him. And the same time, she come out of the house.
Did you notice, she picked up two sticks. Two sticks was the cross.
I'm a hunter. And any good hunter knows that the right way to burn a log at night, is to light a crossed log, and just keep pushing the ends in.
She had to light that, then put the meal and oil together; and that was the Word, the Spirit with the fire of the Holy Ghost to bake it into a hoe cake, of life giving substance. She picked up the two sticks, and she started back into the house to put the oil and the meal over the fire. And she heard a voice. And when she turned, there was a gentle looking old man, whiskers all over his face, bald-headed, leaning over a gate with a piece of sheepskin wrapped around him. And he said, "Would you fetch me just a little drink of water?"
