<TITLE>16. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 "So we went down there to hold the meeting that morning, and Rebekah told us that Zacchaeus got real restless. And she was praying all night for him, that he would be able to see Jesus the next day. Because she knowed there'd be some for Him and some against Him." That's the way it is in every meeting.
So, she had to go down there.
So early in the morning he got up and groomed himself and put on his best garment. And he went out...
She said, "Zacchaeus, where are you going?"
"Just out to get some breeze this morning. I feel a little stuffy; I didn't sleep well last night."
She turned over and said, "Thank You, Lord, thank You. You're dealing with him; You're dealing with him."

L-56 That's what we ought to do. You women pray for your husbands like that. You see? So... And you husbands pray for your wife too. And now, you children pray for your wayward parents too while you're doing that. You see?
So then, they... "He went down on the street; he told us. And he stood there. Right down at the gate, 'cause he knowed Jesus was coming down from Jericho. So he said, when he--he, coming down from Jerusalem to Jericho, off the mountain."
"So then, when we went over to the gate, he was a little bitty fellow, you know? And so he couldn't, he--he couldn't look up over the people. He was a little fellow. So he run down to another street called Hallelujah Avenue, right where Glory Road runs into it. And there was a..." That's where you always find Jesus, on--on Hallelujah Avenue at the Glory Road.

L-57 So he knowed He'd pass that way too. That's the way I... Any of us find Him, on that road.
So he looked down there, and he said, "You know what? He will be by here. But you know that same crowd goes with Him wherever He goes." That's right; that's right. They goes with Him wherever He goes. And then, they'll be here, so I'll be just as little then as I am now. So I'll be no better here then I would standing at the gate."
'Cause they were hanging on the fences down there, and over the wall, waiting for Him.
"So you know what? I believe I'll climb up this tree here, and then I can see Him."

L-58 So he goes over and gets the garbage pail and packs it over and sets it down, shinnies up the tree, you know, gets up there. And he found where two limbs come together so he could make him a good seat, set down. That's a good place to set down and think it over, brother. Where two ways meet, yours and God's. Think it over, setting there on the limb.
And said... And he set down there. And he begin to say, "Now, how will I know when He's coming? When He comes around, He will turn that, from Glory Road there, coming down Hallelujah Avenue. And when He turns here I'll get a good look at Him, 'cause He will be in the middle of the street when He comes by. And some of them people keeping everybody away from Him. I'll get a good look at Him. You know, Rebekah told me that that was--that Man was a prophet, that He could just... He was really a Messiah. Now, if He's a prophet, He is Messiah. But Lavinski told me that He was no prophet, He was just a make-believe. He's just a make-believe prophet."
