<TITLE>23. Par 83-85</TITLE>L-83 So I laid my hands over on the little baby. I said, "Heavenly Father, now, I don't know. I just saw the vision. And upon the basis of that vision, it may be the baby. That's all You said to me. I'm just going to put my hands on it, commit it to You."
And the little baby went "Whaa." and begin to kick its little feet like that. And I looked around. She jerked the blanket off of it, and people begin screaming, and I said, "Now, don't you--don't you say nothing about this, Brother Espinosa. Get a runner, get somebody on that case, and go and get a signed statement from the doctor before you say anything, 'cause if you're going to say anything about it, it's got to be authentic." So she... and he got a runner.
And the next day he himself... They went to the doctor, he signed the statement that the baby died that morning at nine o'clock. And that was that night at ten o'clock, and the baby as far as I know is living in Mexico tonight, happy. Why? Because the woman like this little Syrophenician woman, she was persistent. She knew she had a hold of God: Catholic, or no Catholic; priest, or no priest; church, or no church; excommunicate, or no excommunicate; laughed at, or no laughed at. What was she? She was perseverant. She knew that there was a God.

L-84 Listen. Bible promised signs proves He keeps His Word. Bible promised signs, we can read them and be persistent, and know that He keeps His Word. Let us pray.
'Fore we pray, is there some in here tonight that would like to be remembered in this prayer? Whatever you have need of, would just raise your hand and say, "God, make me persistent, Lord, till I can get the desire of my heart. It's for Your glory. Lord, stay right with me. Let me stay with You. Give me a hold on You tonight.
"I'm going to watch. I'm going to listen. I'm going to believe. When others are being prayed for, I'm going to believe tonight. I'm going to be persistent that I'll never leave this building until I've got a anchor in my faith. My faith is anchored in me, rather, that I am going to be very perseverant, 'cause I believe. I want to get a hold of Your Word right now for my case."

L-85 Our heavenly Father, You see the hands. The story of this little Gentile woman, how that she was persistent... She was very perseverant because faith had come by hearing, and hearing of God's Word. And with all of her hindrances... And here we set tonight with not one third the hindrances she had.
Her daughter was an epileptic, and she was a Gentile, which God had not promised to visit. She was turned down by her friends. She was turned down probably by all that we spoke of tonight. But we know that even Jesus tested her faith, told her that He wasn't sent to her, and said that she and her race was dogs.
And the truth was, Lord, when faith gets a hold of the Word, it admits the truth. Said, "But the dogs get the scraps." And that touched the heart of our Master. He said, "Oh, woman, great is your faith. Be it unto you as thou hast believed." And when she got home, the fit was off of her daughter, and she was lying across the bed. The devil had left her.
