<TITLE>17. Par 72-76</TITLE>L-72 She heaped some camels full of--the big packs full of diamonds, and frankincense, and myrrh, and so forth, and she loaded them down. Now, she had some good philosophy. "If it's of God... I'm studying the books of what that God is. And if I see Him reacting Himself in that man, I know He's God that's concerned about His people, and living in His people. And I'm going to find out."
Now, remember. She had a long drive. It takes ninety days, three months on the back of a camel through the hot Sahara desert (on the back of a camel, not a air conditioned Cadillac now, on the back of a camel) to come from Sheba to Jerusalem. Think, ninety days... No wonder Jesus said she'll stand in the last days and condemn this generation. She come all that distance and made all that sacrifice to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and people won't come across the street right here in Santa Maria. Look what she did. Why, the Light had flashed on that seed, and come to life. No matter what the...

L-73 Listen, here is another thing. Remember, Esau's children was in the desert in them days, and they were fleet-footed horsemen, and robbers. What ease it would be--for that little bunch of guards that she had, to cut them right down and take all that treasure.
But you see, faith don't see any opposition. I don't care if the husband's against it, the wife's against it, if this is against it, and that's against it. If you've really got faith for your healing, you're going to hold on to it. I don't care, even the doctor says it's not so, you're going to believe it anyhow. It knows no opposition, stays right with it.

L-74 Bunch of little eunuchs with her (her guard), and a few maids with her on a camel, probably traveled by night (it was so hot in the desert), and rest at the oasis through the day. And she was reading these scrolls what Jehovah had promised. She wanted to be sure that she read the Word and seen that this gift compared with the Word.
There's the thing to do. Check it. Check these things that's going around today, and see if it is of the Lord. Check it with the Word.

L-75 You know, God had a way of doing things in the Old Testament. If it was... A prophet prophesied, and he went down to the Urim Thummim, the breastplate that hung in the temple. And then, when they prophesied... And if the Urim Thummim the supernatural lights flashed on that, the prophet was telling the truth. If it didn't, no matter how real it sound, it was wrong. Or the dreamer, or whatever it was, it was wrong if the Urim Thummim didn't flash it to be the truth. Now, the Aaronic priesthood, when it ceased, the Urim Thummim went with the--the breastplate.
But God's got another Urim Thummim. That's the Bible. Let it flash in the Bible. And let the lights go like, flash through the Bible. Say, "God promised it, and here it is. It's a promise." Then you know you're right. God and His Urim Thummim: "If they speak not according to the law and prophets, there's no light in them." Now, let that be the--the light.

L-76 She was going to find out. She read it. All through the daytime she set under the trees and read these scrolls of the different prophets. And she was watching to see what would take place when she got there. Finally she arrived. She arrived in the courts.
Now, a lot of people, when a revival comes to town talking about God, a Pentecost revival, some of them say, "Well, I believe I'll go over and hear the holy-rollers tonight." She... They'll go over and set down. And the first thing that's said that crosses up their little petty doctrine, whether it's Scriptural or not, out the building they go. That's all of it.
