<TITLE>17. Par 63-66</TITLE>L-63 Sure He knows you. He can tell you right from this pulpit right now all about you. Yes, sir. You believe it? I can prove it to you. Amen. Excuse me. He knows what you're made out of. He knows these words sometimes scorch you. He knows all about you.
But it's all she had. That's all He expects out of you. Just give your all to Him, your whole heart, will, and popularity, social standing. Just throw it all on Him, no matter what you've done. But she said, "This is my only opportunity, and I'm going to take it." Maybe it might be your last opportunity. You better take it while you're in this convention. Don't you go home without it, for I believe you're going to see Him moving in the same way. He already is. You're going to see Him greater than this. You're going to see His Word made manifest.
Notice. And she says, "It's all I got, so it's all I can give." That's all He expects. "Brother Branham, I'm--I'm..." I don't care what you are, how much of a hypocrite you've been, how good a church member, how self-righteous you may stand this morning before the people. Just give what you got. That's all He expects. He will take that.

L-64 She goes down the street, she said, "Well, easy. I'll go because there's something in me telling me to do it." That's when it's real, not when you're putting it on, but something real. Here she goes down the street. And she looks around, and she remembered Lavinsky has the best perfume shop in the city. So she enters the door. The little bell rings and one raised up, looked to see who it was. "Well, what do you want?" Like some of these men before they become Christian businessmen. That's poor business.
"What do you want? (I don't like for a person like that to be in my shop.)"
"I want the best you got." (Oh, my.)
"The best I got?"
"Yep. It's for a--it's for a real certain Person. It's for a special occasion."

L-65 That's the way we want. The best that can be got, the best we can give. Not just three minutes a day in prayer, but the best you can give. "Oh, I want the best you got." Well, he knew a woman like that really didn't have money enough to buy that. So she takes her little stocking top and said, "How much is the best?"
"Twenty pieces. That's the best I got."
She pours her little stocking top out there, and--and the money rattles. Oh, of course, that's different. He who said there's no profit in keeping Joseph in the land, he's ready to make it you know. So he gots up there and counts it out, "Oh, yes, exactly twenty pieces of Roman denarii." That's what it costs.
"What are you going to do with this?"
"Oh, this is for a special Person."

L-66 So he reached up on the shelf and gives her the alabaster box. She puts it in her bosom. She slips back up again; she looks in there; she sees Pharisee and them all standing around in such a great conglomeration of--of pomp. And she sees Jsus still setting there with dirty feet. Nobody had paid any attention to Him. "How am I going to get in? They'll throw me out when I start in the gate." But you know, there's something inside of her, telling her to go in. She wanted to do a service for Jesus.
And if you're wanting to do a service for Jesus, there ain't enough bishops and cardinals on earth to stop you from getting in His Presence. That's right. There ain't enough denominations and hypocrites in the country to do it, or enough devils in hell to stop you from it, if you're--want to do a service for Jsus.
Here she comes. She slips around. She sees the guard at the gate turning his back. She sneaks under the gate. Here she makes her way real quick. That's right. When you first get in, go right to Him. Don't mess around. Don't go talking, see what this one says, and what this organization says, and that says. Go right straight to Jesus. Get to Jsus. Don't pay no attention to what these others say. Get to Him right quick.
