<TITLE>14. Par 109-116</TITLE>L-109 On that dreadful, hot, blistery morning when an old woolly-faced looking fellow, gray hair hanging down his back, walked out there, and his bald head shining, leaned over the gate, said, "Bring me a little drink of water," and said; "besides, bring me a morsel of meal in your hand, a cake."
She said, "I haven't got enough meal. I'm out here now picking up two sticks to make a little cake for my son. I've just got enough to make one for he and I. We're going to eat it and die."
He said, "Fear not, for THUS SAITH THE LORD." That's the man that we need. Was no, "Now, it may happen, sister; it might come to pass. I don't know." No, no! Elijah was positive. "THUS SAITH THE LORD, that barrel will not fail, neither will that cruse run dry until the day that God sends rain upon the earth." Amen. There you are. That ought to have been enough sign for her.

L-112 She represents the church today. After Elijah stayed with her for a little while... She had a little boy. He got sick. His sickness was so bad till there's no breath left in him; he died. Then what did she do? The church had already seen those signs. But what? As soon as a little disaster comes, quickly she wants to blame the church for it. She wanted to blame Elijah. She said, "Thou man of God, now you've come here to call my sins to my memory and take the life of my son."
Elijah took the son, went up into the loft where he was sleeping up there, laid him upon his own bed, stretched hisself over, and said, "Lord God (Hallelujah.), send back the soul of this boy." And the baby woke up.
He took it back down, and that woman looked at the baby, and then looked at him; then she knowed something was there; she said, "By this I know that the Word of God's in your mouth." Amen. He was a sign to that widow. When she seen the power of God, Who makes alive or can kill, raise her dead baby to life, she said, "By this, I know that you're a man of God." She knew it. The nations today would laugh at it like they did then. They wouldn't believe it. But that woman knowed different. It was a sign there, as he was a sign to raise her dead son back to life. Them prophets are always signs of God.

L-115 When Elijah then called for a showdown, said, "If God be God, serve Him. If Baal be god, serve him."... Couldn't that be a wonderful day for Elijah today? If politics is god, serve it. What have we got in politics? What have we done? We got nothing but a bunch of corruption. We've got nothing, but we've lost every, nearly every friend we got through the nations, here last week losing two or three more nations to Communism. We're taxing the people and getting their money and send it over there to feed those people and turn to Communism as soon as they get build up. It's a hypocrisy. That's right.

L-116 We profess to be Christians. Let us be like Christians then; not by feeding and things like that. That has very little; that's--that's... The ordinary good-hearted person will do that. That's religion; that's not salvation. So many people gets religion and salvation mixed up. Religion is to feed the widows and poor and so forth; that's religion. But salvation is the new birth, being born again. That's different. Religion, Mohammedan is a religion. There's many religions.
