<TITLE>10. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 "And then she said to her husband, 'You saddle a mule, and you go forward for me now,' told the servant, 'and don't stop. If anybody salutes you, don't salute them back, but you go straight to the man of God up at Mount Carmel.'"
" Now," said, 'Now,' her husband said, 'it's neither new moon, or neither is it Sabbath, so the man of God won't be there.'"
"She said, 'All will be well.'" I like that, when you got that real hold on faith, stay on that. That's a good lesson for all you little Bartimaeuses now. Look. "And then said, 'Go--go forward. Don't stop for social calls and things. Just go forward. Just keep on going. Don't stop till I bid you stop.' And of course, when he got close to Mount Carmel, when the prophet..."
You know, God don't reveal everything to his prophets. We all know that. He just reveals to his prophets what He wants them to know.

L-27 "And now when he got close, Elijah walked out, probably old and maybe a little dim in sight. He raised up his hands and he said, 'Here comes that Shunammite, and she looks like that she's worried. But God has kept it from me.' So he said to Gehazi, 'Go out and call to her.' But she was pretty well speeding on. When she got there he hollered, 'Is all well with thee? Is all well with thy husband? Is all well with thy child?'"
"And watch what that woman said. 'All is well.'" Amen. See, she knew that God was in that prophet. That's right. She knowed that was the highest order God had in that day. I think that's where Martha got the idea. She must've read that story. When her brother Lazarus died, she knowed if God was in that prophet, God was certainly in his Son. That's right. So she went to Him and said, "Lord, if Thou would have been here, my brother would not have died. But even now, whatever You ask God, God will give it to you." I like that. I like that. See, that startled Him. See, "Even now whatever You ask God, God will give it to you. "

L-28 This little boy setting here with this mashed up foot, another young fellow setting over here, seen them both shouting last night. Must be Pentecostal boys, must have God in their heart. You say, "Brother Branham, I probably never walk again. The doctor says I won't." This one over here with heart trouble, this one with whatever it is, whatever your trouble is, say, "Well, the doctor says I won't. I won't never be able to get over this. I've got cancer. I got tumor. I got so and so."
"But even now, Lord, whatever you ask the Father, He will give it to you." That's it. "Even now, whatever you ask God, God will give it to you." That must have been where Martha got that story.

L-29 The Shunammite woman said, "All is well." Now, she wasn't asking for the boy, but she knowed that God was able through this prophet to tell her why he took the boy, and that would satisfy her. If He could tell why He took the boy, everything was all right. So she was before God's representative, and all things was well.
I imagine little Bartimaeus' eyes would just brighten. "Mama, mama, hurry up. Tell me what happened." You see, little boys get hasty. They want to find out what the end is. "Well, the great prophet, after she revealed to him and told her her story, what--the little boy had died and was laying in the chamber, now the prophet said to his servant, 'Take my staff and go lay it on the child.'" Now, I think, again in the New Testament, that's where Paul got the idea of taking handkerchiefs and aprons from his body.
