<TITLE>16. Par 74-78</TITLE>L-74 So she got in there. She had it somewhere down in her heart, that she... Now, when she got there, she happened to think, "What if He turns around and snaps at me. Well, what will I do?"
But just remember, when you're trying to do a service for Jesus, He will never bawl you out for doing it. You might get it in your church, but you won't get it from Jesus. That's right. Yes. You might get bawled out from some ecclesiastical giant that would stand up and say, "Days of miracles is past. Stop that testifying," and so forth. "About this Divine healing, this Holy Ghost stuff, stop that." You might get it from him, but never from Jesus. No.

L-75 Did you notice, she slipped around behind Him. Now, in them days, they didn't eat like we do today, set up at the table like this. Them kids has got the idea. They laid down to eat. They had a couch, and they'd push the couch up. Sure, them kids know what they're doing. Sure they do. And so, they pushed the couch right up around the table, and they laid down, and had their feet hanging off. And they eat like this. And they still do it in the orient. I've eaten like that (See?), lay down like that. Oh, it's good. You ought to try it sometime. Why don't you say "Amen" some? So then, that's the way.
And they... She slipped up behind Him. And she thought, "Here I am, and I now have arrived in the Presence of Eternal Life. If I can only do Him a service. If I can only do something for Him." Now, she had to kinda keep her head down, because she was a despised woman. And she knelt down. I can see her kneel down by the side of His feet. And she thought, "Can I touch Him?"
Oh, I--I... Can you imagine how she felt? I hope I get that opportunity someday.

L-76 Like an old colored man years ago, was down in the south. He'd got saved. And he--he went around telling all the brethren on the plantation he was--he was free. The boss called him in, said, "Mose, I want to ask you something. I hear you're telling amongst the slaves that you're free."
He said, "Yes, sir." He said, "I'm free." Said, "Last evening, Jesus Christ set me free from the penalty of death and sin."
He said, "You mean that, Mose?"
He said, "I do."
He said, "Then I'll go down and sign the emancipation proclamation, and you can be free to preach to your brothers. I set you free also, if Christ set you free."
So he gone down and signed it.

L-77 The old man preached for years and years. When he come time to die, many of his white brethren he'd preached to come in. He was laying in a coma, and they thought he was gone. He laid there maybe a day or more without speaking.
One day, he opened up his eyes. He said, "Am I still here? Am I still here?" He said, "Come close, my brethren." He said, "I thought I had went over on the other side, and I just entered through the gate. The great Archangel had let me in the gate." And said, "Here come some servants up and said, 'Mose, Mose, the servant of the Lord. Here is your robe. Here is your crown.'"
He said, "I turned around to them and said, 'Oh, servants of God. Don't talk to me about robe and crown.'"
Said, "But, Mose, it's your reward."
He said, "I don't want a robe and crown. For my reward, just let me stand and look at Him."

L-78 That was it. I think that's the way you all feel. "Just let me look at Him." I've often thought, if I... when I passed over, if I can just crawl up, and pat them feet just a little bit, watch where that nail scar was, and then back off, it'd pay me if I lived a hundred years, and preached every night, and done everything I could, yeah, just to pat His feet.
And here this woman was, at His feet. What a place to be. And at His feet she remembered all of her sins. There's something about it. You remember every evil thing you've done when you get to His feet.
And when she did, she thought, "Me, the vilest of vile, and standing here by the Holiest of holy..." Great big tears begin to run down her cheeks, and they begin to spat on His feet. He turned and begin to watch her.
