<TITLE>28. Par 296-306</TITLE>L-296 One had just a vessel with a little oil in it. And she had nothing; her two sons was going to be sold for bondsmen. She had nothing else she could do with this little vessel of oil. Wasn't very much, she was at the end.
Elijah said to her, said, "What have you got in your house?"
Said, "Just a little oil in a vessel."
Said, "Go to your neighbors, borrow plenty of them."
There, look, getting ready before it even happens. Huh? Get ready. David heard that sound in the mulberry bushes. Elijah saw a cloud just the size of a hand, said, "I hear the sound of abundance of rain." If God can only get some empty vessels... That's right.
He said, "Fill the house full of them." Amen.
See what God wants? God's got to have empty vessels. Listen. We've had so much doctrine, so much ecclesiastical nonsense, until we're down at the end of the barrel. There's only one thing left: turn to God and His Word. And if you'll do that, get some empty vessels. Take out all the Methodist out of them, all the Pentecostal out of them, and all the Baptist out of them, and just let them be vessels, and set them up in the house. And then take from this Vessel and begin to pour (Amen.), just begin to pour.
She had enough to take care of her and her kids, and everything else, and pay off all the debts. Why? Why? Just what little she had, consecrated to God, and following the word of this prophet, she come out right.

L-300 God, send us a prophet that will take the Word of God, that will not take some--something else, but just get empty vessels. If God can just get empty vessels, and then take the Word of God and pour It into the person.
Not some say, "Oh, I shook when I received It. I spoke in tongues when I received It. I danced in the Spirit." Forget it (See?); forget it. Just stay there until It comes (That's all.), till the vessel's full. That's it. That's the way you do it. Yes, sir, the simplicity of It. The vessels was filled up. How we could stay on that.

L-303 It was the disciples, all flusterated one day, Jesus said to them, said, "There's five thousand people here," and said, "they're fainting; they're starving." Oh, I could stay on that another hour. Five thousand, starving? There's a hundred billion starving.
Said, "Send them away."
Said, "There's no need of doing that." Said, "You feed them."
Oh, my. I can imagine mustering up everything they could find, and you know when they got all, everything mustered up that... Excuse the expression, "mustered up." But they got everything, they said, "Now, here, we've went through the whole camp. We ain't got a penny of money, so we can't have the campaign." You see? "So we got everything here, but the only thing we can find is just five little biscuits and two little fishes from a little runty," like David, come out of the wilderness yonder. "That's all we got. That's all we can get. We're at our wit's end. We can't do nothing else, John." Peter said, "That's all we can do. That's all we can do. We're at our wit's end. That's the only thing in the line of food that we got."

L-305 Well, I can just take one little Scripture, Acts 2:38, and that's all we need (See?); just obey That. You don't have to learn seminaries, all about this, that, the other; just take That. Yeah, just--just take That; that's all you need, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall be filled up with the Oil." See? Just empty up, get ready for that One; that's all you need. Just put a drop in it, watch it fill.

L-306 You know, wasn't hardly enough in that vessel to make a drop in each one. Maybe took his finger, like this, just dropped it off in each one like that; looked back and it was full. Just dropped it off (See?); that's all he needed, 'cause it was blessed oil.
Don't take some seminary experience. Take the Word of God and drop It in there, see how it'd fill.
He said, "Well, what kind of a drop must we make? Maybe we can take something out of the Psalms."
