<TITLE>11. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 Supposing that they said this. He said, "Now, don't get mixed up in some fanaticism now. (See?) Better be careful what you're doing, because I've heard them Israelites screaming and hollering around a ark up there. So you don't want to get mixed up in that, my child 'cause you have big prestige. You are a queen."
She said, "But, father, there's something in my heart, burning. I must go."
"Oh," he said, "maybe you had better come and take confession of your wrong or something. And you know, you mustn't do that, because (You see?) we--we've got the--the history here of our bible of our history of our god."
And I can hear her answer something like this: "Yes, my grandmother heard that. My mother heard that. I've heard that since a little child. You've got words; you've got writings. But up there, they've got a living God. I want to see something that's real, something that's alive. We got all kinds of writing but I want to see One that can write and then come fulfill it."
So do I. I don't want to serve a God that just wrote something, went off and died. I'll gladly serve a God tonight, that can write and return and fulfill what He said He would do. Though they killed Him, the grave couldn't hold Him. He rose again. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-40 And then, oh, she turned her back on the priest and walked out. If you're determined to find Jesus, to get to God, God will make a way for you.
Now, she sets down and thinks it over, "It's a long ways up there. So now, what if I go up there and it is right? And it really what I've been told that God, their God, is God. He'd only have writings, but He has confirming that writings. He makes His promises true. And that is a Spirit of God working. If it is, I owe all I have to It."
That's exactly right. If God is God, we owe our life to Him. We owe our all to Him. We owe everything to Him.
So she said, "If it is so, I will support it."
So she ladened camels with gold, and--and with spices, and perfumes, many riches. She thought this: "If it is of God, I will support it. If it isn't of God, I can bring my gifts back. (And that's good, sound sense.) So I will make ready whether if it is, I'll be prepared."
Now, with all this gold, she had to travel... Mark on your map from Jerusalem down to Sheba. It'd taken three months to make the trip. Not in an air-conditioned Cadillac, or in a coach, or in an airplane, but on the back of a camel. No wonder Jesus said she'll stand in the day of judgment and condemn this generation. Some won't come across the street to hear it, to see a gift of God. They'll turn their nose up at it and walk away.

L-41 But she was determined. No wonder Jesus said, "No man can come unless My Father draws him. And all the Father has given Me will come to Me."
Now... And another thing if she had all that riches, wasn't she a--simply a prey to the children of Ishmael who were robbers on the desert in those days? Those fleet-footed horses, why, they'd fall in on her little caravan there and murder her and it would be... Why it would--they'd take everything she had, all those golds and things.
But you know, there's something about it when you want to meet God, that there's nothing will stand in your way. You're going on anyhow; you're blind to the dangers. You're blind to the criticisms. You're blind to anything else. God is your only motive. And you're going to find Him.
You let every person in here tonight seeking the baptism of the Holy Spirit be that determined. Don't care what anyone says. You're going to see it anyhow. Anyone in here that's sick, don't care what anyone says. You're going to be healed anyhow. Watch what takes place. That's where it lays, friend.
