<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-0811, Show Us The Father, Shriner Temple, Los Angeles, CA, 58 min
L-1  ... henceforth you know him, and have seen him.
 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father,... that'll satisfy...
Shall we bow our heads again.
Lord, this is Your Word, and we pray that You'll be with us according to Thy great grace, and forgive us of our sins. We are unworthy, and we pray now that You won't look to us, but look to Thy only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and see that He stood in our place, was made flesh, to hold the stinger of death to take it away from us. And in there He bore our sickness, and those things that His flesh bore, we have redemption and access to the eternal things of God tonight, and I pray that You'll manifest Him to us tonight in a great measure. We ask in His Name. Amen

L-2 Now, I'm really pressed for time, as you know, but I want to ask you one thing. Philip's great desire was to see God, and is that your desire tonight to see God? He said, "Show us the Father, and it'll satisfy us, if You'll just show us Who the Father is."
Now, Philip's desire is my desire, and Philip's desire is your desire. Is that right? Let's see God. Well, if--if by the grace of God and the help of God, I can bring God right in this auditorium here, and let you see Him, will you accept all things of the Bible then? and say, "We are going to tighten up tonight." And when the Holy Ghost fires over the piston tonight, let's believe God for everything. Will you do it?

L-3 If God can come in this room, right here now, and manifest Hisself to us right here in this room... Can any man see God? See? Can any man see God? Now, let's look at God in four different ways. I want to take God in His universe, and God in His Word, God in His Son, and God in His people. Let's look at it just for a few minutes.
Let's take God in His universe. How could this universe stand and revolve around as it does, leaning sideways to bring us the rain and so forth to the north up there and the--the ice, and cold, and frigid, and to the south and so forth, the hot to bring forth the vapor to water the earth. How could it turn so perfect? Stand--you throw a ball up in the air or spin it as hard as you can, it wouldn't stand in the same orbit one split second. It would be turning different, and it would be moving different.

L-4 But this world, for the last six thousand years has never failed to turn exactly twenty-four hours, go around the equator, the--and all around the whole circle, and come back every season. And God promised it would never fail. So how could that be done without some great ruling, controlling power doing it? Is that right? It's God, God in His universe.
Sometime ago I was talking--in the mountains where I was going on a hunting trip with a fellow, and I was eating at his table. He said he was an infidel. I said, "I don't believe there is such a thing." I said, "I've seen people that wanted to act smart and say those things just to be different, but I've watched them when they come to die, they change their mind."
Bob Ingersoll and many of the others did, and so will you if you're trying to be an infidel tonight. You wait till it comes down close enough and then you will find out.
Some of you here don't believe in Divine healing, but wait till sickness strikes your house hard enough. It'll shake you out of it. Yes, sir.
Jairus was a believer too, a secret believer. Sickness struck his room one night with his little daughter. He become a open believer and a confessor right quick, for his daughter was laying at the point of death.
