<TITLE>11. Par 83-92</TITLE>L-83 Now what's she going to do? Light these two sticks. And the Word and the Spirit is brought the self-sacrifice on the cross, ready for duty, ready for life. Putting the Word and the Spirit, that's her faith in the Word of God by the Holy Ghost, leading herself to sacrifice anything else to the cross. And when she got the stick under her arm, two of them, and started back, she started back, and there was a voice came from the gate, "Lady."
Just before that, an old, maybe baldheaded, and gray hanging over his whiskers, and his hair hanging down, a little stick in his hand, an old sheepskin or something wrapped around him, walking down the street, saying, "Lord, it's a certain little white fence. There'll be a lovely-looking young woman (She must have been young; the boy was young.) out in the yard. You told me that was the widow that was to feed me. Now, where is she at? I'll keep walking." The Spirit leads him this a-way, then turns him.
Oh, it's so wonderful. Sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. No matter how silly it sounds, they are led. She go... He goes down one street and up another, down one street and up another. After while, the Spirit said, "Look to your right." And he looks it around like that, just like He does here at the platform, night after night. Oh, God's still the same. "Look to your right, to your left, there's someone praying who needs it."

L-86 And he looked to his right. "Say, there's the little white fence. That's just right. I just won't move from here, because there's the old tree standing there. There's everything just the way I saw in the vision. The door opens, a little thin woman comes out.
Now, remember, she's just going to pick up two sticks. She couldn't have picked up three, takes two to make the cross. She picked up two sticks and put it on her arm and she started back, thinking, "I'll have the little cake done when Sonny wakes up. And then I'll feed it to him, I won't eat any myself. And I'll put my little boy in my arms, and there we'll set and die." And she started into the house.

L-88 She heard a strange voice across the gate, said, "Woman, would you fetch me a little drink of water in a vessel?"
And she turned, and she thought, "There stands a kind old man at the gate." She looked at him real close, and maybe wiped the tears from her eyes; it was quite early yet. You know, God does things so strange. She was willing to sacrifice. Water was a scarce thing; it hadn't rained for three years and six months.
"Would you fetch me..." Maybe God told him to say that, see what she'd do, trying her reaction. "Would you fetch me just a little drink of water in a vessel?"
And she looked at him. "He sounds different. There's something about the old man that I feel sorry for."

L-92 Any believer in God will share to the very limit with another one. Yes. That's one thing about Pentecostal people; they'll give the shirt off of their back for the cause. That's right. It's the truth. That's great thing, one of the great things with them. They're the greatest givers in the world, 'cause they know that this earthly goods amounts to nothing. They lay their treasures up in heaven, 'cause they're going up there some of these days.
