<TITLE>13. Par 55-59</TITLE>L-55 Noah had to sweat it out too. Now changing from Solomon now to Noah, but did you notice God... After Noah give his message, God told him to go in the ark, and He sealed him up in there. And the next morning he thought it would rain.
But you know, Noah went in there on the seventeenth day of February, but you know what? It never rained for a week. And the people setting around there, they said, "Well," the borderline believer said, "that old man could've been right. Let's go up and see if it does come some... The science says there's no water up there; but he said that his God could make water up there if He promised it. So he might be. Let's just hang around the border."

L-56 There's just so many of that kind today, just to see what's going to happen. See? So the... Said, "If it really does start, like some water up there in the skies, clouds, or something, we'll knock on the door, and come in."
Well, the first day Noah believed it was going to rain. So he set, and looked out that window, and the sun come up, and crossed, and not a drop of rain. You know. And Noah begin to wonder, "Wonder if I'm right or wrong."
So then, the second day passed, the third day passed. (Pentecost, don't never get in your mind that you're wrong now. Just set there and sweat it out.) He promised it, and He's going to do it. See, see?

L-57 I was speaking the other night on "Presuming," what if the apostle said, "We've waited here nine days. I believe we've got the Holy Ghost. I presume we've got it. Let's go on out and start our ministry." Oh, no. They waited till that Bible sign appeared over there, well, that's--till it was right. And they wasn't thinking nothing.
They seen God vindicated, when His Urim Thummim begin to flash out in their lives. Then Peter said, "This is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel..." That's right, 'cause he had a Scripture to back it up. And that's God's church today.

L-58 And Solomon was God's great anointed one. How I'd imagine everybody in one heart and one accord, the whole nation with one heart and one accord. Wasn't that the way to be? What if all of the churches called the church of Jesus Christ tonight was just like Israel was at that time, one heart and one accord?
They didn't one come in and say, "Oh, well. I don't know about old Solomon. I don't know about that. I believe he's a fanatic. What do you think about it, Jim?"
"Oh, I believe he's fanatic too." Go out, and live under their own olive tree.
No. Everybody would come to the meeting. They'd say, "Oh, Pastor Solomon. I've never seen such in my life. Glory to God for sending His Spirit down upon us." And you know, a revival like that gets scattered all over the world. Sure it does.

L-59 And now, in them days they didn't have television, and--and radio, and press, and so forth to scatter news. It was just from lip to ear. And the great camel caravans and things passing through the different parts of the country, why, they'd take the news.
And after while it got way down in Sheba, way down there. And there was a little queen down there. Now, she was a heathen, but she was--begin to hear someone coming in saying, "Oh, I just passed through Israel, and we picked up some stuff up there and we brought it down here. And, oh, you should see that country. You should see what kind of a meeting they got going on up there. They are just one person."
"And you know they got a God up there that they call Jehovah, and that Jehovah has selected Himself a man, and He's vindicating Himself to be Jehovah through that man." Oh, my. Must have been a great talk.
