<TITLE>17. Par 63-67</TITLE>L-63 But you know, there's something about it. When your heart goes to hungering for God, you know no fear. You just keep on going anyhow; you don't think about it. What mama going to say, what papa going to say, what so-and-so going to say, what my boss is going to say, you just keep moving on. When you begin to hunger and thirst for God, something begins to come. You go on after it anyhow.
She started across the desert. Perhaps had to travel by night because the day time would be so hot. Them direct rays of that--that sun down here on that Sahara desert would burn the hide off of you nearly.
And... You know how long it takes to cross, a caravan to cross that desert? Ninety days, three months. But there was something dragging her, pulling her.

L-64 O God, whew. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst, for they shall be filled: hungering and thirsting. Oh, till you get thirsty you can't talk about it to you, but when you go to thirsting you're ready then.
She was had... She wasn't thinking about Ishmael's children; God would protect that. If this God was God, He'd protect her. And she was on her road day...?... run out... In the day time she would lay around under with her little maids along there and read these scrolls. And say, "Is that great sky, did Jehovah make that? Did He do this? I'm going to find out. They say they got a sign there; I'm going to see if it's right."

L-65 Finally, she arrived at the palace gates. And when she finally got to the palace gates, she never come just to say, "I'm going in and set down, and if that guy says one thing against our theology at our church, I'll get right up and stomp out of the building." No, that's the American attitude. You see? But not hers. She come to set there until she was fully convinced, typing it with the Scriptures. She placed her tents and everything, got ready for the meeting.
And I can imagine the next morning she cleaned up in her best, and her and her maids, and they went to the door. And all the choir sang the great songs, and the trumpets sounded, and the sacrifice was offered, all the preliminaries got out of the way, and out on the platform come Solomon.

L-66 She said, "Oh, there he is. That must be the guy that God's got anointed. Now, if this God... Now, let me see now. Let me see. I'll rehearsed all these prophets now; I'll see if it's right."
First thing you know they brought the first case up, and she found that Solomon's spirit of discernment was perfect. Day after day she watched it, not a flaw in it nowhere. Her little heart began to beat. After while as it began to beat heavy, finally her prayer card was called, and she come up.
And when she got up there, she stood before Solomon; she had a secret in her heart. And Solomon, the Bible said, told her all things; there was nothing kept back. God revealed everything to Solomon that she wanted to know. Is that right? That's the spirit of discernment, sure.

L-67 Revealed it all to her, and when her prayer card was called, and she got up there, and Solomon revealed the whole thing to her by the Spirit of God, she turned to the audience, and she said, "All that I have heard is the truth. And more than I've heard is the truth. It's greater than I thought." Why? She was standing in the Presence of Jehovah. Hallelujah. Oh.
Wish I could get that the way I see it. Oh, my, do you realize when the Holy Spirit comes down, and the power of God strikes the place, Jehovah is present, that same Jehovah?
