<TITLE>21. Par 78-80</TITLE>L-78 Notice. Then when we find... And this... He said, "Now, look, daughter, if you go to fooling around such fanaticism as that, I'll just have to give you your church paper."
I can imagine her; stood there a little bit, and said, "Well..." You know, if God has spoke to your heart, there ain't nothing going to stop you, 'cause faith cometh by hearing. You get a hold of faith, and there ain't nothing going to stop you. That's all. You're going anyhow. So faith cometh by hearing. And she heard about it, and her heart was burning within her to see it. She wanted to see if it was real or not.
I can imagine her saying, said, "You just might as well give me my papers."
"You are a queen. You'll lose your dignity. You live in a better neighborhood than them kind of people does." You drive a better car, you know, and all this kind of stuff, you know. And so, now she had a lot to confront her.
So she goes home, and she thinks, "Now, I don't know. I've read some of the scrolls that them men give me. And it looks like if that was God... If that's the God, then if He's representing Hisself in the way He writes His Words here in that man, well then, surely that must be God."

L-79 And now, I tell you what she did. She went out and got a whole lot of jewelry, a whole lot of gold, and a whole lot of frankincense, and rich gifts. And she said this, "I'm going to take it with me. And if it is the truth, I'm going to support it. If it isn't the truth, I can bring my money right back."
She could teach a lot of us Pentecostal people some wisdom: letting your own church run down and supporting something on the radio would laugh at you, make fun of you, the very thing that you believe. And yet, you... Ain't no need of being careful on that. You know it's the truth. Support your own church. Some of this stuff out here make fun of you, and call you a holy-roller, deny the very faith, and--and stuff like that; and yet, you subscribe to it. I wouldn't have the stuff in my house. That's right.

L-80 I'm Pentecostal, and I believe in the Holy Ghost from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet, and all through me, heart, soul, and body. I believe in God. I believe the Word. I believe it's the truth. And I don't want to support that. So she could teach us something.
Now, she packed up her camels. Now, she never thought... Remember, with all that treasure going through that desert. And listen, it's no short journey. You know how long it taken on camel? Ninety days. Now, she didn't have a air-conditioned Cadillac to... She had to cross the Sahara. So she taken her ninety days on camel.
No wonder she'll condemn this generation. Some won't come across the street, won't drive around the corner in an air-conditioned Cadillac. That's right. See? No, they won't do it. But she took a ninety day's journey. And besides, the sons of Ishmael was in the desert in that day, robbers, with all that treasure.
But somehow or another, when you're determined to see Jesus, there's nothing going to stand in your way. You're going on anyhow. You don't notice danger. Say your husband will run away from your home; your wife won't receive you any more; papa, mama turn you out; they'll throw you out of church? You don't notice those things. You're trying to get to Him. You're just trying to get there as hard as you can, 'cause something's in your heart burning.
