<TITLE>15. Par 160-170</TITLE>L-160 Don't talk like that to the modern Pentecostals. Oh! You say that, they say, "Well, I'll just leave this bunch and go join the Assemblies. And the Assemblies say it to me, I'll go to the others, and the others, and the others, you see."
But not that woman. She had faith.

L-161 Said, "Your... I wasn't sent to you. I wasn't sent to your race. And, besides, you're nothing but a bunch of dogs. It's not meet for Me to take the children's bread here, and cast it to you bunch of dogs." Oh, my!

L-162   That don't stop faith. Faith is still there, just as fresh as it ever was. What does faith admit? The truth. She said, "That's the truth, Lord." Oh, my! See how little you can get, not how big you can get. Faith makes you little. Notice, still she was perseverant.

L-163 Yet, He wouldn't pay no attention to her. He ignored her. And finally she got in His way and He couldn't get around her, and then He told her, said, "I'm not sent to you, and your... to your race. And your race is nothing but a bunch of dogs. And I'm not going to take the children's bread. It's not right for me to take the children's bread, healing to this group, and give it over to you dogs."
And she said, "That's the truth, Lord."

L-164 Faith will always admit the Word is Truth. Amen. See? If you got real faith, and the Bible tells you that you are doing wrong, you'll admit that you're wrong. You won't say, "Now, wait a minute here, I belong to..." No, no, that's not faith. When the Word says it, that you... That's where you're right or wrong, is by the Word. That's right.

L-165   Now she said. No, sir, that, she just couldn't believe that she could stop at that, so away she goes. And she said, "Truth, Lord, we're nothing but dogs, but I'm only asking that I could just get some of the crumbs that falls from the Master's table." She was crumb hunting. Just think of that.

L-166 Today, we either get the whole loaf or we won't take any at all. See? We got to be all of it or we don't take anything.

L-167 Still she was persistent. She went right on. She was not a hotbed plant that had to be babied and sprayed over, to keep the termites off. No, sir. She wasn't one of these hybrids like the modern crop of today, that call themselves Christians. When the Word of God said it, and she believed it, she seen it vindicated, she was ready to go after it regardless of what anybody said. Even Christ Himself couldn't stop her. That's what faith does. Oh, that admits the Word being right. She was hunting for crumbs.

L-168   Remember, she had never seen a miracle. She come out of a denomination that didn't believe in miracles. She, believing, had to come out of a denomination that said, "There is no such a thing as miracles." She was a Gentile. She had never seen a miracle, in her life. But yet, when faith takes a hold, God is there. See? She had never seen it, but she had heard about it.

L-169 If you don't believe there is miracles, read the Bible and their promises to us today. Faith took a hold.

L-170 She was something like the harlot Rahab. When she heard, by the spies, she didn't want to see Joshua, and see the way he dressed and what kind of a warrior was. She said, "I have heard that God is with you. I have heard what God did." And she wanted salvation, and she got it; right, because she was persistent, also. She said, "I'll hide you. I'll do anything. But one thing I want you to swear to me, that I'll be saved during this time." Oh, my, that's the idea.
