<TITLE>24. Par 177-184</TITLE>L-177 Now, if that would've been one of us, oh, my, that would've been it. Your denomination's, nothing to it. "Oh, He talked about my denomination; I'll never hear Him again." Uh-huh, there you are. Go ahead (See, see?); you'll never get nothing. Got to stay with that Word. Where that Word is, you go right with It. Faith had anchored.
Some of them might've said, "Well now, I'll tell you what, they'll laugh at you. They're going to put you out of your church."
"Let them put me out. See, it's all right."
Jesus said, "I'm not sent to your race. I never come for you people at all. And you're nothing but dogs, not meet for Me to take the children's bread and cast it over to you dogs." Whew.
What if that'd been one of you Methodists, one of you Baptists, Presbyterians, one of you Pentecostals? Oh, my. You'd have said, "Why, that impostor. I'll tell Doctor So-and-so and So-and-so he--he was right." See, you ain't got no faith.

L-181 She knowed there laid help. She'd heard. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing what? The Word. She knowed there was something real there. Yes. Still she held on. No matter if she... He said, "Now, remember, I'm not sent to you. The Father never sent Me to you Gentiles, you bunch of dogs. You think I'd take the children's bread and cast it over to you bunch of unworthy dogs? I'm not sent to you." But still her faith held right on.
Brother, she was not a hothouse plant, had to be babied, petted around like some of the crop of today, "Oh, my, well, I'll never go again then if it's all there is to it." Oh, my. No wonder you can't hold that Sword of faith; no wonder you compromise on the Words. You go somewhere where you can hear some kind of a little sissified something put together, you little hothouse plant, you. The first little bug strikes you, it kills you: have to be sprayed all the time. "Oh, don't believe that stuff, the days of miracles is past," the devil's spraying. Tenderfoot...
She wasn't. Brother, she was sturdy. She was--really had something. She held on. What'd she do? She admitted He was right. She always... And real true faith, listen, whether it cuts your organization or not, it'll admit the Truth. Yes, sir, the Truth, the faith... If you have faith, and it's the Word of God and a promise of God, no matter what the others say, you believe It; you admit It. She said, "That's the Truth, Lord. I'm a Greek; I'm unworthy. I--I'm a dog. I'm not... I not... I--I'm unworthy of anything, but I'm only after the crumbs."

L-184 I'm a crumb-hunter myself, aren't you? I just want the crumbs, Lord. I can't have a church like they did on the day of Pentecost. If I can't, Lord, let me just have the crumbs that fall. Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "This is That." And I've always said, if this isn't that, I'll just keep this till that comes. You see? Yeah. Yeah. I'll just keep this until that appears. See? This is the Word. When somebody... I don't...
I--I--I may not have enough faith to go like Enoch, and take an afternoon stroll and walk up home with God; but I'll tell you one thing; I'll never stand in anybody's way that has that much faith. Yes, sir. If he's got it, praise God; I'm so thankful for it. Let that Word anchor in there. I hope It anchors in me like that when death becomes, I see a road open yonder, just walk right on out. That's right. Yes, sir. Oh, so I'm just after the crumbs.
