<TITLE>14. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Oh, she had plenty of hindrances, no doubt. But you know, that didn't stop her. She held on. All of them might have been right, but still there was something inside of her. She believed that she was on the right path. She believed that if He was God at all, He was God of every nation. If He was God at all, He's God of the whole creation. And if He could heal a Jew, He could heal a Gentile. So what difference did it make whether she was Jew or Gentile? She was going to get in the Presence of God. Oh, my. That nailed it down.
Now. She fights through all of that... Now, look what she had to come through, and many other things of... If I had time I could go through it, you know, but just say them things. And she had to fight against all that. Then she gets to Him, and now He's hid Hisself in a room.
Now, the guard at the door said, "Nope, nobody coming in. He's in there, but He's tired, don't bother Him."
Maybe Simon set at the door: a disciple, said, "Now, if you get to Him, you're going to have to pass over me."
Another, here stood Andrew behind him, another behind him. Oh, my. But somehow... I don't know how she done it, but she got to Him. See?

L-47 And then when she got to Him, she explained her case, what she had in mind. Her daughter was sick. And now look at the disappointment. Even the very One she come to, the One that she knew to be God... And she... He said, "I'm not sent to your race." Whew. What a mark that was.
"I'm sent to the children of God, and you're nothing but a bunch of dogs." Why, wouldn't that have blowed the Pentecostals sky-high. Oh, my. Hmm. Oh. "I'm sent to a race of people who has believed in Me. I'm sent to the Jews: the children. And I've got to feed them, not you bunch of dogs," calling her a dog, said He wasn't sent to her.
But you know faith. She still held on. She was persistent, perseverant. Why? She had faith. She knowed that that was God. And she knowed that if He could heal a Jew... He created a Gentile, just the same as He created a Jew. There was somewhere she could touch Him. Oh, brother, I like that. Just keep punching. Amen.

L-48 Knock. Now, the right translation to that is not "he that knocks"; [Brother Branham knocks twice--Ed.] it's "knocketh" [Brother Branham knocks three times--Ed.]. He that asketh... just not say, "Lord..." or he that knocketh, just [Brother Branham knocks once--Ed.] walk away. No, you just keep standing there knocking: [Brother Branham knocks continuously--Ed.] "Lord, I'm wanting in. Open up to me." That's it; that's it. Uh-huh. Like the widow and the unjust judge. See? Just keep knocking constantly.
She was determined. Faith caught something, and she was persistent with it. She knowed that she had to get there, 'cause maybe one of her neighbors had the same kind of a situation--some Jewish woman that she knowed had a daughter the same way and was healed.
She had to get there; that's all there was to it. She must get there, and she was persistent. No matter if He turned her down... All right, that's true.
Said, "You bunch of dogs are not even worthy of food. I've got to feed the children over here."
She said, "That's true, Lord."
