<TITLE>09. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 I've seen the sunset. Stand and cry like a baby, just couldn't help it. Glorious to see God in His sunset and His sunrise.
God's in His animals. You go out here and look at the paper this winter. And the papers say, "Tomorrow is going to be fair." And all the news commentators say it's going to be fair. Watch that old sow take the shucks off of the--the north side of the hill, and take them around on the south side and make her bed. Don't you believe what the paper says. No, sir. It'll be cold just as sure as the world. Go out to hunt and find a rabbit going down underneath in the fallow row. Watch for snow and cold weather. Sure. They got a God-given instinct.

L-32 Not long ago... I go up into the mountains to hunt. And in there, there's a... Many times these ducks come out of down in Louisiana, go up into the north and make their nest up there in the slime in Canada and around. And they lay their eggs and hatch them. And when they hatch their eggs, in among those group of ducks there's a little duck that's born that's a leader, a little drake.
Just as soon as the first cold breeze sweeps down across the mountains, that little old duck will run right out in the middle of the pond. He's never been off that pond in all of his life. He was born there. He'll run right out there and stick his little old honker up in the air and honk four or five times. Every duck on the pond will come to him. "What's the matter?" God has given ducks instinct. That's right. They know that that little old duck is borned a leader. Something's going to happen. There's a cold breeze a blowing.
The trouble of it is, when the cold breeze blows, man won't listen to his Leader, which is God.

L-33 This little old duck, all of them will get right around him. He'll raise off of that water. Never been off of there in his life, and go just as straight to Louisiana as he can go, to the rice fields to dodge all the cold weather, because God's given him a provided way to detect. He's never been off of there. He has no compass. He don't trust a compass; he's trusting instinct that God's give him.
If a... We ought to have "duck sense" anyhow. If God could give a duck enough instinct to dodge the cold and go to safety, how much more ought He give His church with the baptism of the Holy Ghost to trust God. God in His nature, God provided a duck with instinct. God provided you with the Holy Spirit. He's your Leader. He's here now tonight to save you, to heal you. God in His nature, in His universe...

L-34 One day, my dad and I were plowing, and the horses begin to snort. I said, "What's the matter with them, dad?"
He said, "Son, there's a storm coming."
I said, "Oh, my. Dad, look at how clear it is."
He said, "God has so provided that horses has an instinct. They can smell storms for miles away."
And we hadn't made two more rounds till we had to hurry to the barn. The horses seen it, knew it. They could detect it by an instinct before there was a sign of anything you could see with any other sense. Oh... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] the Holy Spirit.
Oh, church of God, you who claim to kiss the blessings of the rim of the cup of blessings, how can you doubt God, Who is almighty and omnipotent, Who stands now to bless and to heal every person in this building? Why?
How could you doubt Him? When men, through the age, is the only people that's ever amount to anything is those who dare to take the stand for God. Many things how God provides...
