<TITLE>29. Par 206-213</TITLE>L-206 Can't we do that today? Now, we don't ask nothing. It needs to be done; the Gospel needs to be preached. Whether we get a penny, or whatever, don't make any difference. I never took an offering in my life. This is a need. This is a call. Separate, and churches hate you, and everything else, and oust you out, and just what few friends you pick up together... But it's a message, It's got to go, regardless. I never put myself on radio and big television programs where I'd have to beg people for money. I couldn't do that. I want to be your brother. I want to go where God... If there's five people here, go there. Go over here, if there's a million, God will make the way for me to go. That's all. Just live it by faith; that's the way we all should be doing. And thank God, many of them are doing it (You see?) the same way. That's true; they're doing it.

L-207 Look at this little woman. Jesus never moved a foot. Look at this old Pharisee standing down there, said, trying to make fun of Him now, said, "Now, if He was a prophet, he would know what kind of woman was washing His feet. See? He'd know what kind of a woman was around him. See, there he is; that shows the class that he deals with." I'm so glad of that. Yeah. He knowed. "Look at there what kind of a class of people's with him. We're the dignified. We are the church members. And look, that old sinner out there with him, that woman; we know who she is; she walks the street. She's..." You know what I'm talking about, "So there, she was that type of woman. Look, look, that's the kind of people that hang after him." I'm so glad. I'm so glad.

L-208 That's what I was, you know. I was that type of people, no good, sinner. And every one of you is the same that hasn't come to Him. You don't come just to be a member of a church; you come because there's something to be done. Jesus needs to be served; somebody should be there. Let's do it.
She never asked, "Lord, will You bless me, will You do this?" No, she just washed His feet and wiped them with the hairs of her head. You know some of our sisters have to stand on their head to get enough hair to--to wipe His feet.
And there she is, her pretty curls dropped down, and she wiped His feet. And she was kissing His feet continually like that, and Jesus just set and watched her; He never moved an inch. And after while when she got through, He turned around.

L-210 There was old Simon standing over there with all the ministerial association, said, "See? Ha, that's him. See, there you are, that shows what he is. He's no prophet. Look at Him."
He turned around and said, "Simon..." Oh, I imagine he was red in the face. He said, "I got something to say to you. You invited Me here. (See?) When I entered the door, you never washed My feet; you never kissed Me welcome; you never anointed My head. You just stood there and trying to make fun of Me. (See?) You brought Me in here for that purpose. And this woman, ever since I come--ever since I come, she's continually washed My feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. And she's constantly, not kissed My neck, but kissed My foot."
"You didn't expect nothing, did you, sister?"
"No."
"But I say to you that your sins, which are many, are all forgiven." See, see? See, all the way down she had nothing at all, but just a fear that she wasn't doing the right thing, maybe, but it needed to be done, but her reward come at the end.

L-213 You might hear me preach these message. You might see the Holy Spirit discern and do great things and perform miracles. You might pray, and it would never come to pass. Go on, your reward comes at the end. Wouldn't that be better right then? Yeah. See, do Jesus a service. That's the end-time message. He had a Bride. God's looking for character.
And then after Eliezer found the character, then the next thing was getting her ready to go. That's the same now, brother, the same now. The end-time message is not out yonder in Babylon.
