<TITLE>04. Par 10-14</TITLE>L-10 So if there was nobody... If the Scriptures didn't teach Divine healing... If the teacher... If--if the Scriptures did not teach it, and I could, in my soul I could feel that there was a Divine healing, something in me said there was Divine healing, I'd believe it anyhow.
Look at the Indians when we first come here. Why, they were worshipping sun. They were worshipping totem poles and everything. There was something in them that knowed there was a Maker somewhere. All human beings knows somewhere... They've worshipped images and beasts and everything. But they know there's a Maker somewhere. What is it? They're thirsting for God. There's bound to be a truth and a God somewhere to respond to that thirst.

L-11 Not long ago when a church begin to getting a little different, formal, and cold. Many of you Full Gospel people, you couldn't stand that. You started craving and thirsting after more of God. And if you're thirsting for more of God, there's got to be more of God to respond to that thirst, or you'd never have the thirst.
That's the reason God poured out His Holy Spirit up on you. And because you were thirsting for God. And if you'd thirst like that... Now, the deep calling to the deep. Now, it's like, as I have said some time ago, there was a people who... Electricity, for instance, electricity has always been in the world. Since God made the world, there was electricity. The lightnings flashed and so forth. I guess since the antediluvian destruction anyhow. But it's always been in the world.

L-12 But one time there was a man by the name of--of Benjamin Franklin that took a fishing string and put it on a kite and a--a key. And he... The lightning struck the key and run down and hit in the bottle. And he stopped the bottle up. And he begin to scream, "I got it. I got it. I got it." He had it. But he didn't know what he had.
And that's just about the way of a many peoples who get saved and really don't know what that's all about. Now, there's--that's as far as he ever went. Well now, there's...

L-13 That's the same way it is with many church people today. They say, "God saved me from sin." Certainly. Well, the God that saved you from sin can give you happiness, and peace, and joy, and heal your body, and rapture you up into Glory. Why, He's just... The powers are in there to work.
Thomas Edison believed that. And the people thought he was crazy. But he knew he was all right. But he said something in him told him that that current would follow a certain wire. And he tried tens of thousands of them.
He'd try one, throw it over to one side, try it again, throw it over. But thousands and thousands he tried and still no current. It didn't discourage him. He kept right on trying wires until he found one that the current would follow. Then when he did that, he give the world electricity.

L-14 What was it? It was God going to light the world with His own electricity. It had been here all the time. It was here all the time. But they just didn't know how to harness it and make it work for you.
Well now, the same Holy Spirit that fell on the day of Pentecost that's healed the sick back there, It's been here in the church all the time. But the thing of it is, you don't know how to make it work for you. Now, there's a thing that makes it work is faith to believe. And when you believe and take Him at His Word, that's the lifeline. And it cannot fail.
