<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 So he stopped, the little fellow, and raised up, and looked at that sack. Raised up on his little hind feet and turned sideways, and looks at it, and this way. And he--he knowed there was something, that a big ugly-looking face on it. And he walked up real close, you know, and he jumped at it four or five times to see if it would jump. It never moved.
So he smacked it with his little paw, and it rattled them butter beans. He jumped back four or five steps, and looked at it again, sized up again, and smacked it again, that hideous-looking face. It rattled again. Then he started shaking it with his paw. It was just a rattle. So he went right on around behind there and went to eating butter beans. It didn't bother him at all. See?
When you see something that's bogus, don't pay no attention to it. Go right around behind it and keep eating. That's all. See, see? Don't let nothing scare you away. God is a Healer. He's always been; He always will be.

L-14 And now, don't watch for miracles. Don't tell God the way you want it; you just accept it the way He gives it to you. You just take a hold of His promise and hold it. Now, that's been my purpose. That's been what I've been trying to lay before this--this church here in Santa Maria, is to accept Him just by believing His Word in action (See?), the Presence and manifestation of Christ. And then, accept not only healing, but every promise He give: for the Holy Spirit, for anything. Accept it upon the basis that His Presence is here to vindicate His promise.

L-15 Now, you know, that's really the Gentile way of receiving Christ. You know, there was a Jew one time in the Bible, he said, "My daughter is variously sick. She's ready to die. Come, lay Your hands upon her and she'll get well." See? now... Little Jairus... So I always had sympathy for him. He was kind of a secret believer. And when... Some--some people, you know, don't believe in Divine healing. But let somebody get near death, and the doctor turn them down, and then they believe right quick in Divine healing. You see? You just haven't been sick enough yet; that's all.
But when he got to the place his only child was laying dying, then he went to find Jesus. Now, watch him. He was a Jew. "Come, lay Your hands on my daughter, and she'll be well." Now, that was a Jew.

L-16 Watch the Gentile, the Roman. "I'm not worthy that You'd come under my roof." See? "Just speak the Word and my servant will live." That's the difference. You see?
Now, we are supposed to believe God, and Jesus turned... You remember His great statement? "I have not seen such faith in Israel." See that? "Just speak the Word. My servant will live."

L-17 I was speaking last night on the woman, little queen of Sheba, as we know her today. Jesus called her the queen of the south, and she lived in the utmost parts of the known world of that day. And I kind of upbraided this generation for not receiving it, and how it's gone across the land, and--and so forth, and they still don't receive it. And I said how that the people won't walk across the street now.
Today I was checking around, and I find out there's people here from way away. That shows that some of them comes from a long ways. I'm looking now at a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Simpson. They're from Saskatchewan, Canada, to be in the meeting. Brother Tom, would you just stand up here? From Saskatchewan, Canada, he and his family.
