<TITLE>07. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 If you believe, whatever you believe... If you come to the meeting tonight, just to find something to go away to criticizing it, devil will show it to you; you'll see it. And if you come to find something about God, that you could go away and be blessed, God will show it to you. Whatever you desire, whatever you are, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." You go away and say, "Well, I--I didn't expect to be called in the prayer line." Well. "I--I didn't expect the Holy Spirit to speak and call me out here." If you don't expect it, you won't receive it. But, as you believe (See?), expectancy...
My mother one time sent me to a place to meet her sister. I'd never seen her. She told me what I would look like, what she would look like. Said, "Now, she'll have a high forehead." Said, "She's got dark hair." My mother's a half-breed; she's an Indian. And so she said, "She'll have a high forehead. She's got thin hair." And described how she looks. Said, "She's thin, little woman." And said, "You'll know her by certain descriptions."
And I was looking through the audience, and I had some idea of what she looked like, and as soon as I seen her I said, "You're my Auntie."
She said, "Who are you?"
And I said, "You know Ella Branham?"
Said, "Yes."
I said, "That's my mother."
She said, "My sister." And there we was. See?

L-21 Now, we ought to have some idea tonight, what the Holy Spirit in Its operation should look like. The... Jesus described to us just what the Church of the living God will look like. He said, "In My Name they'll cast out devils; they'll speak with new tongues; if they take up serpents or drink anything, it won't harm them. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover. The things that I do shall you do also," know the thoughts of the heart and describe, discern, so forth. Is that right?
Now, if you're looking for God, that shows that there's something somewhere here that you're looking for. Now, David said in the Scriptures, "When the deep calleth to the deep..." The deep calls to the deep, in other words, when there's a--a desire in here, there's something out there that's causing... In other... Here, before there is a desire in here there has to be something create that desire. See? And if there's a creator to create that desire of that creation. You get what I mean?

L-22 Here, before there was a--a fin on a fish's back... You here you have much fish that gets along these bays here. Look, before there was a fin on a fish's back there had to be a water first for him to swim in, or he wouldn't have had that fin. See, God put that fin on him to swim in the water, so there had to be a water first before there was a fin on his back.
Before there was a tree to grow on the earth; there had to be a earth first for it to grow into, or there would've been no tree to grow. And if there's a desire in the human heart for more of God, there's got to be more of God somewhere to respond to that deep calling to the deep. See what I mean?
