<TITLE>13. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 Just like, here you all raise a lot of little citrus fruits here. I see these--these... the best in the world. This navel and--and oranges and things. But did you know that little navel tree that you set out there just about that big, that every bushel of--of oranges that'll ever be on that tree is in it right then? If it doesn't, where's it come from?
I want to ask you. You say, "Well, how many..." I don't the agriculture very well, but... I don't know how many bushels of oranges an ordinary tree would produce in a lifetime of the tree, probably many hundreds of bushels.
"But preacher, tell me where in the world that hundreds of bushels of--of oranges will be in that little tree?"
"Well, now, my brother, you tell me where they come from if it's not in that little tree." It's in there right then.

L-56 Then the only thing that you have to do is plant that little tree, and put the water to it. Is that right? And it has to go to drinking from that water (Is that right?), nursing that--that water. And when it goes to drink, drink, till it pushes out some leaves, pushes out some buds, pushes out some oranges. And the only thing the tree does is drink, drink, drink, drink, till it pushes these things out that's on the inside of it. Is that right?
And when a man's borned of the Spirit of God, filled with the Holy Ghost, everything he has need of in this life's journey, is in him right then. And the only thing he has to do is just drink from the inexhaustible Fountain of Life, which is Christ Jesus, until he pushes out Divine healing, powers of God. He just pushes it out by his drinking from the everlasting inexhaustible Fountain of Life, Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-57 Text quickly... We're dealing this afternoon with expectations. Reading the text... I don't want to take too much time, for you got to get home, then back again. Little expectations.
Now, I want each one of us now in our hearts to--to dwell on this thought of "Expectations." Whatever you expect is usually what you get.
You heard about the lady that prayed for the mountain to be moved and got up the next morning, looked out the window, said, "Just as I expected, still there." Well, that's the reason, that she expected it. That's right.
Now, you want to have an expectation all the way from heart, soul, body, and mind, that God is going to give us a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now, I feeled it, that it's near us. And God is willing and ready to give it to us.

L-58 Now, if you expect, that's what you receive. If you've come to the meeting saying, "Well, I'm going down... I'm just going to--I'm going to find some flaws of that meeting. I'll find some flaws of that preacher. I'll bet you I can." Don't worry, you'll get it. The devil will show you plenty of them. Yes, sir.
You'll go back, say, "Mm, hmm. Just as I expected. That's just the way it was. Uh-huh." Same group found fault with Jesus when He went through the pool of Bethesda and all those cripples laying there, lame, halt, blind, and withered. Passed by every one of them, never healed any of them, went over and healed a man laying on a pallet, walked away. Them Jews, "Uh-huh, now if He's the healer, let Him heal them." See?
