<TITLE>28. Par 86-88</TITLE>L-86 What did she do? She turned to the congregation. "I am the queen of the South. I've heard about this great gift that your God's give to this man. And I know he's just a man. I shook his hand; I looked at him. He's a man. But there's a Spirit on him, for he didn't know me; but God has revealed to him what's in my heart." She said, "His God can be my God. The things that I heard about Him is wonderful. They were all true, and more than I heard." 'Cause why? It worked on her. See? It was her own experience. More than this. It's greater than I heard about." And she said, "Even blessed is the men that's with him all the time to see this thing working. Blessed are the men." She'd never worship no other god but that God. Why? She was hungering and thirsting. Her heart had been satisfied.
Jesus said, "She'll stand in the day of judgment and condemn this generation of Jews and Gentiles, for she came from the utmost parts of the world to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, a greater than Solomon is here." Oh, we've had about twenty-five hundred of teaching and experience since then, and a greater than Solomon is here: the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ in Spirit form, living in His Church, and bringing to pass the same thing that He did when He was here on earth, showing His resurrection to the adulterous generation.

L-87 What was the matter with her? Why did she say it? Listen, friends, in closing, this way--she had seen something real. And any honest hearted person that's mentally balanced, and honest and sincere, wants to see something real. That's what the world's looking for today. It's not a bunch of theology, not of some man that can... Jesus never did say, "Well, if I do not the teaching of My Father..." He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if I do the works of My Father, then believe the works. If you can't believe Me as a man, believe the works that I do of My Father." See?
She seen something real. She seen something; not a bunch of creeds wrote out, but she seen something real. That's what people wants to see today, honest-hearted: something that's real.

L-88 In closing, I say this. Everybody knows that... I don't say I'm a hunter. I just like to hunt. My mother's mother came from the Cherokee reservation. My conversion, since I... The first money I ever earned was twenty-five cents. I bought a steel trap, started trapping. I've been in business ever since. So I--I just love to get alone in the woods. I see God in the woods. Go up into the mountains, climb up on top of the mountain and watch the sunrise, and stand there and scream before God.
Here some time ago, over in Colorado (I'm a guide in Colorado), worked on a ranch there. One day the rancher and I had went elk hunting. We'd done got all the dudes in and out, so we--we went elk hunting. We went away on back where the tenderfoots (as you call them, cheechakers) couldn't go. So we went way up high. And he went over in another range. I wouldn't see him for about a week. I tied up my saddle horse. Had been kind of... That day had been a dry season. The elk hadn't been run down yet. And I'd went way up high to the timberline. It'll come a rain, and it'll freeze, and then come a snow, and then it'll come a rain, and then the sun will shine. You know how it is in the fall of the year.
