<TITLE>19. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 You know, and faith cometh by what? Hearing the Word. "And blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness, they shall be filled." So the little queen begin to hunger. She thought, "You know, I'll have to go see that." Now, you remember, she's got a lot of prestige, you know, because she's the queen. So I suppose she said, "Before I do this now, I better go ask our pastor whether I can go or not (See?), 'cause I have to get permission from my denomination, because that's another denomination. See? So I'd better go ask my pastor if I can go, am I free."
So I can see her walk over, and a little guard with her; she said, "Holy Father, may I have the permission from you, from this great holy church that we have here in Sheba, may I have the permission for you, there having a revival up in Palestine. May I be able to attend that revival?"
"Nonsense, my daughter. Now, if there was such a thing as that, I've heard that nonsense too; there's nothing to it. It's just a bunch of holy-rollers, there's--there's nothing to it. But look, if there was any power in any God, it would be in our god right here. It would come to our organization; it would be ours, if there's anything to it. See?"

L-59 Oh brother, you know, the devil takes his man, but never his spirit. That's right. God takes His too, but never His Spirit. He took Elijah, but his Spirit come upon Elisha, then come out on John the Baptist. And He took His Son Jesus, but the Holy Ghost come back in the church to do the same works. "The... He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." See, keeps going on down. And the devil takes his man but never the spirit. Them two spirits are still warring with one another, right on down.

L-60 Now, said, "No, you cannot go."
"Well," she said, "listen, you know, there's something down in my heart." You know there's something about it, when God gets a hold of a human heart, he--they do funny things. Yeah. Said, "But you know what, I've had, holy Father, I've... Or--or Dear Bishop, General Overseer, I have had such a great desire to go. I've always heard of those meetings and I would like to go."
"Now, look child, we'll just excommunicate you right off of the books." See? "We'll just take you, your name right off of this organization if you go."
"Well," she said, "but look, I want to say--I won't do no harm, I'll come right back down here of course, as soon as the revival's over, as soon as I go up."
"But you cannot go. I've made that declaration, and that's what the rest of them says, and that's what we have to stand by. Now, if there's anything like that going on, it would be right here with us."

L-61 I can see that little queen, God moving on her heart, she squared herself off and said, "I want to tell you something." We need more of them. "I've been in this thing for years and years. My mother was in it. My grandmother was in it. And all I've seen is a bunch of papers, a bunch of writing, and talking about some God, but I haven't seen any kind of a move at all of any. I don't want these dead things. They tell me they got one up there that's a living, that lives in His people, and that's what I want to see." Amen. God give us some more queens of Sheba in Long Beach. See? "I want to see something that's got life in it. I want to see something. And I've been reading all the scrolls of the old--of their books up there, and they tell me that that God is a God that knows the secrets of the heart. And they tell me that that man Solomon up there, the pastor, is just able to do these things and it's wonderful. And I'm going to see it."
"If you do, I'll just take you right off the book."
"Well, you might as well take me right now, because I'm going." I like that. "I'm going anyhow."
