<TITLE>11. Par 102-115</TITLE>L-102 But the church is always looking back. Let's look up! For, their powers are limited. And we have unlimited power, "For all things are possible to them that believe in God." Real genuine faith will punctuate every Word that God give, with an "amen." Not, "Well, it was for another generation." He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

L-103   Now we find that Solomon, the news spread so great till it went all the way down into Sheba. And they had a queen down there, she must have been a nice little lady. She would govern over her people. And, you know, they begin to tell her that there was a--a great God up in Israel, and He had anointed a human being with a gift of discernment that was super human, that no man could have wisdom like that. It had to come from a god. And, you know, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word." And it struck her heart, like it did the little immoral woman at the well last night. It struck her heart, and she begin to desire to find out about this.

L-104 I think it behooves any of us, when we find out where Eternal Life laid, 'cause we're trying to live.

L-105   Well, every caravan came through, she would probably stop and bring them into the palace. "Did you pass through Palestine?"

L-106 "Yes, we have some ointments, and some jewels and things from there."
"Well, is it true about that great gift of their God?"

L-107 "It's the truth. I seen it in operation." See, faith cometh by hearing.

L-108 And then she begin to, begin to thirst. She wanted to see it, herself.

L-109   Now she had a lot of difficult to go through. The first thing, she was a pagan. Another thing, she was the queen. And no doubt, to do this, she would have to go to her own priest, to get permission to go up to hear this. So I can imagine... If I sound sacrilegious, I don't mean this now. I'm just going to give a little drama here. I can imagine her going down to the priest, and saying, "Holy father?"
"Yes, my daughter," said the priest.

L-110 "I have been hearing news that up in Israel they've got a God up there, that's anointed a man with His Own discernment and power."

L-111 "Now listen, daughter. If, if the great gods would ever move, it would move among us." You know, they don't have to all be pagan priests, to believe that. See? "If they'd ever move, they'd do anything in our organization. They wouldn't be amongst them others, see. After all, they're a bunch of holy-roller." Well, I didn't want to said that, see, but you know. "They--they--they, they're not very much. That's just a bunch of fanatics. They tell all kinds of stories about crossing Red Sea's, which is nothing but legends. So you can't believe that bunch up there, because they're--they're just a bunch of radic's. Now if there is any power, it's in the great god, Dagon, or some of these here."

L-112   I can hear the little woman, spake a minute, she said, "But, you know, they tell me that this God that they got up there is a real God."
"Why," he said, "daughter, that's a real god."
"But, they, they tell me that this God up there has got life."

L-113 See, when--when--when something is really gripping at the heart, God will talk with you if you'll just keep talking. See, "Take no thought what you'll say; it'll be given to you in that hour."

L-114 Then said, "They say this God up here is a God that loves His people, then He comes down and He making Hisself known through His people."
"Ah, there is nothing to that. Listen."
Oh, what you say? "Now just a minute. I'm going up."

L-115 "If you go up, you, why, you'll bring disgrace. Don't you attend that revival. Because, we're not cooperating, you know, so you mustn't do that." See?
