<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Everybody wanted to find God down through the age. Job of old, he said, "Oh, if I only knew where He was." In his trouble setting there on the ash heap scraping his boils... God dealing with a saint in this case... There he was setting there scraping his boils. Some of his church friends come to him, set with their backs turned to him, not much consolation. But Job wanted to know, "Oh, if I only knew where His house was. (In other words.) If I'd go knock on His door, He'd come out and talk to me." That's what he wanted to do.
But notice, when a man is hungering and thirsting for God, God will draw nigh to the man always. See? Give up, surrender your will to God.
Then when his church members came and could not console him, accused him to being a secret sinner, said he'd sinned before God... Job knew he had not sinned, and he knew he was all right. But then God sent a young man down by the name of Elihu, come down to meet Job, perfect type of Christ again. He didn't accuse Job of being a secret sinner. He tried to tell him of Someone Who would come and stand in the breach in the last days, to put his hands upon a sinful man and upon a holy God and bridge the way.

L-25 Job, being a prophet, caught the vision. He stood up. Lightnings begin to flash; thunders begin to roar. The prophet had come in contact with his Father, God. He turned and said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. At the last days, He'll stand upon the earth. Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, Whom I shall see for myself. My eyes shall behold, and not another." Soul calling out for God, God in His universe...

L-26 Recently I was watching. I love birds. I was watching some eagles here not long ago when I was on a fishing trip, an old mother eagle, setting way on top of a mountain. And she threw her wings out, and the little eagles caught ahold of her wings, and she went down into the valley. It was the first time they'd ever been out of that old nest.
Reminds me there. Could you see God there? Yes, a sinner. Now, this is kind of... Did you ever... The things of the world is like a eagle's nest: full of sticks, and thorns, vomit. The eagles are regurgitators, and they vomit their food, smell.
And a sinner that's living in the nest of the world, among the vomit of the world, barrooms, and walking around, knowing nothing about anything else but the old nest of the world...
Then I seen her take her little ones, and they caught ahold of her wings, and she went down the mountain into the valley, throwed out her big wings and the little eagles let loose. They begin to run around, their little feet touched for the first time upon soft ground, upon the grass. They eat green grass. "He leads me beside still water." Oh, my, how glorious and wonderful.

L-27 Then, notice closely, when he was--they did that, then the little eagles... The old mother eagle, when she seen that, what was... She went plumb back up into the top of the mountains again, set down upon the rocks, begin to look down, watching those little eagles.
And I begin to think, "My, doesn't that seem like..."
Some little girl's sick. One of the elders, will you please run over and have prayer with the little girl; she fell in her chair.
And then... Now, notice closely; pay attention this way. The little girl's got sick and some of them going to have prayer with her. I think she has a card in her hand, be in the line probably in a few moments. All right.
