<TITLE>19. Par 134-139</TITLE>L-134 Now, she said to her husband and the intern, "If though I die in this line, take me up there." Desperation. She lost conscious. I don't think she was dead; she claimed she was. Now, she might have been. She may hear this tape, you see. Now I--I--I... She, she claimed she was dead; I don't know. They told me, "There's a dead woman coming up the line." And when the woman come by, she was lifeless. And when they brought her up there, the Word of the Lord came; and I went and laid hands upon her, and she rose up and went home, walking. This has been about, I'd say, safely, eighteen years ago, and she's just as healthy and hearty... She'll be at Tucson to meet me when I get down there. Desperation, "Though I die in the road, still, but get me down there. He healed others, He'll heal me." Willing!

L-135   Let our hearts be filled with love in this day, and be earnest, and in desperation. After a while it may be too late.

L-136 Jairus one time had a little daughter that was dying. He was a borderline believer. He believed Jesus, but he was afraid to confess it, because they'd put him out of the synagogue. But the doctor come one morning, and says, "She's dying now." Desperation set in. He couldn't afford, as his position, to be caught with Jesus of Nazareth, because he would lose his position as a priest.
But I tell you, when emergency come, it throwed him to desperation. I can see him hunting for his little preacher's coat and hat, and slipped it on. Here he come down through the crowd, pressing around; where there was a woman just touched His garment, and so forth, and they was all shouting. But he went in and said, "Master, my little girl is laying at the point of death. Master, Master, my little girl is laying at the point of death, and if You'll just come lay Your hands on her, she'll live." Oh, my! Desperation makes you say things sometimes, makes you do things. It puts you to action. His daughter was saved by the desperation.

L-137   Let's be desperate, like that little woman with the blood issue. The Bible said she had spent all of her money, with the physicians, and yet they couldn't help her. She had started in time of menopause, to flooding, and a blood issue, and it wouldn't stop. They had maybe sold the farm, the mules, the horses, and whatever it was; and nothing could help her. And their priests had told her never go around such as that. But one morning she looked down. She lived up on the bank, up there where her farm was, and she seen a great bunch of people gathering around a Man down there, and they said, "What is that?"
Said, "That's Jesus of Nazareth." Desperation set in.
She said, "I'm kind of insignificant. I--I... But if I can only touch the border of His garment, I'll be made well." And she passed by every critic and everything else. But then she got to the spot, she touched His garment, in desperation.
And when He did, He turned and said, "Who touched Me?" And they all denied it. But He looked around. He was possessed with a great gift of God. He was God; and He found the little woman and told her her blood issue had stopped. Desperation drove her to do that.

L-138   It was desperation that drove--drove the queen of the South. She heard that the gift of God was working through Solomon. Desperation drove her to that.

L-139 Desperately! That's human beings, like you, like me. They wasn't any different from you and I. They had five senses. They eat, and drink, and so forth, like we do, live and die. They were human beings.
