<TITLE>22. Par 76-79</TITLE>L-76 Now, if we notice... Then he said, "Now, there's no such a thing as that." Said, "Now, if there was anything to that, our idols, our church would be doing it."
You get that, the same thing today. "Now, if there's anything to Divine healing, the great so-and-so church would believe it. The great so-and-so church would do it." See? But you know, God does things to suit Himself. He don't have to ask anybody about it.
He's the self-sufficient One. See? He don't have to ask nobody. So God was doing it.
And you know, a little heart begins to hunger for God, there's nothing going to stop it. And she said, "Sir, I'm going anyhow."
"Well, if you do, I'll give you your church letter."
Said, "You might as well give it, 'cause I'm on my road." So she... See, nothing going to stop the person that comes to Christ that really believes Him. When you hear the Word of God, and know It's moving, there's nothing going to stop you. That's all. You're coming anyhow.

L-77 And now remember, that little lady had a lot of difficult. I see her pack her camels, and here she thought of something.
She said, "Now, wait a minute. If that's truly... If that gift is right, then I'm going to support it." So she got a lot of gold, and frankincense, and stuff, and packed it on camels. She said, "I'll take it with me, but if it isn't so, then I'll bring my money right back."
That could teach Pentecostal people something--supporting meetings, and meetings that--that hate the very thing that you stand for, let your own church go without. They do it in the States. I hope you Canadians don't do it. But they do it down there and just to be popular. "I give so-and-so to such-and-such." Oh, my. Skim milk...
Notice. Now, here he was. She put everything together, and she put it on her camels, all that money, thousands times thousands of dollars worth of gold. And remember, Ishmael's children, the Arabs, they were robbers in the desert then. How easy it would've been for them to--them fleet horse riders to ride right in and kill that bunch of little guards around that queen, and--and take that money, and fly away in five minutes.
But you see, if you're determined to know God, you don't know no fear. Faith knows no fear. That right? You don't care what the doctor says, what anybody else says; you believe it. See? And she wasn't thinking about the robbers, and this, that, and the other. She was thinking about getting over there and seeing God working in a man.

L-78 And now, remember. She... How long do you think it took that woman? She didn't have a air-conditioned Cadillac to come in. No, she had to ride on the back of a camel. You know how long it taken the camel train to get from Sheba to Palestine? Three months, ninety days, through a hot Sahara desert, the hottest place in the world, on the back of a camel, trying to come to see a gift of God. No wonder Jesus said she'll rise in the judgment and condemn this generation. See? She might've traveled by night. Daytime she laid up in the oasis and read the Scrolls, the Scriptures, to see what Jehovah was. She finally arrived at the gate.

L-79 She didn't come, say, "Well," like people do today, "I'll go in, set down. If he says one thing that's contrary to my belief, I'll get right up and walk out." That shows ignorance. That's right. But she come to stay till she was convinced. She'd read the Bible; she seen what Jehovah meant, and what Jehovah was, and what Jehovah had promised. She wanted to see if that Jehovah they talked about was in that man.
I imagine her priest told her, said, "Well, now looky here. Here's our great Dagon. Here's our great idol here."
She said, "Yes. My great-great-great-great-great-grandmother served them, and they haven't done nothing but stood there as a statue all the time. They don't breathe; they don't move; there's nothing happened. And they say this God's a living God, doing something." Amen.
