I’ve got a little slogan, that I say it quite a bit. It might be good for you to take it. “A winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.” Just think of it. “A winner never quits, and a quitter can’t win.” You must hold on. And before you even start, be dead sure you’re right. And then be persistent, let nothing move you. Go on. I’ve had quite a bit of experience of that, and you know it. I know this one thing, when you’re dead sure that you’re in the will of God, when you’re dead sure you’re centered in Calvary, nothing is going to move you. You’re there. 94 This little woman, she was a Greek, and a Syrophenician, and she had heard about the fame of Jesus. Now, how does faith come? By hearing, hearing of the Word. She had heard of Him. And you know, she might have had a lot of things to hinder her, by her being a Greek. “Faith cometh by hearing.” We know that. And she had a—a lot of things to hinder her, but faith finds a source no other knows anything about. 95 Faith finds this source that no one can explain it. It’s something that you know. Others can’t see it, but faith sees it. Faith sees that, where the natural eye doesn’t see it. But the inside eye sees that thing. Now, she had a need of Jesus. She had. 96 First thing you have to do, if you’re going to find Christ, you’ve got to know that you’ve got a need of Him. When you think that you just don’t need Him, then you’ll never find Him, ’cause you won’t search Him diligently. 97 Did you notice that Scripture where it says, “Seek and ye shall find, knock and it’ll be opened”? Actually, that’s just not knock, like [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit once—Ed.], and it’ll be opened. He that’s not just say, “Well, I went out, Lord. Here I am. You want me?” No, that’s not it. “He that seeketh, he that knocketh,” continuation. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit several times.] It has to compare with the rest of the Scriptures. 98 Like the unjust judge and the widow. She constantly knocked on his door. She was persistent. If he turned her away today, tomorrow she was on his hands again. 99 That’s the way you want to get God. Be on His hands, every morning, every night, every day, all the time, constantly. Just keep seeking, keep asking, keep knocking. Just don’t knock a little while, and get tired and go away. Just keep standing there, “Lord, I’m here, and I’m not going to leave. I’m on Your hands now. I’m going to stay right here. You getting tired listening? I’m having a great time knocking, ’cause I know You’re coming.” Amen. That’s when something happens. He has to get you off of His hand, see, so He comes out to answer you. Now, faith finds this.
