<TITLE>02. Par 5-9</TITLE>L-5 God working in His universe, moving... There's no one with the right--with the... If a fellow could--any person look right in the--the face of a great big beautiful calla lily and say there's no God, the man--the man is mentally disturbed. That's right. Anyone who could look in the face of a big pretty rose and say there's no God, there's something wrong with the person's mind that would do that. I say that reverently, but I say it, for it is the truth.
And God in His beauty, did you ever see Him in the sunset, see Him in the sunrise? How beautiful it is to see Him in the sunset.

L-6 I was speaking here sometime ago. I was up in the mountains. And I was--been on a hunting trip, and I was way up high, because the--that fall the elk was high. And so I was up there hunting, just about two days back with a horse and a pack horse, and I was camping out. There come a storm that day, and--and I got in behind a tree and was standing there behind the tree, and the winds a blowing and howling. And after the storm let up, why, then of course, the cold winds caused the evergreens to freeze. The sun begin to set through the rocks here in the western horizon here, and peeping through the mountain like that, the shadows of the sun sweeping across the valley, a rainbow came out. Oh, my. You know, David said, "When the deep calleth to the deep."
If the deep is calling, there's got to be a deep to respond to it. If there's a desire in your heart tonight to have more of God, there's more of God for to you receive. If there's a desire in your heart tonight to be healed by God, there's a fountain open somewhere or you'd never have that desire.

L-7 Before there can be a creation, there has to be a Creator to create the creation. Is that right? And if--if you're hungering for God, to be healed, there's a Creator somewhere creating that desire in your heart. That's right. And as long as you believe there's a God that'll heal you, there's a God somewhere that'll heal you. That's right.
David said, "As the noise of Thy waterspout." You see? The deep calling to the deep.

L-8 And I just love nature. I like to look at God in His nature. And standing there... I love the nature. Nature was my first bible. That's how when I was a little boy, I used to take my old--old, .22 rifle; It was old, all broke up. I really like them. I've still got it today.
Somebody here in California (if that man is here) he give me a rifle here, the last time I was here. I still got it, brother. I'll have it till I die, 'less somebody steals it from me. If he does, I'll hunt him down. Ha-ha. And I--I just love guns, and fishing rods, and things, 'cause it's--it's out in the open.

L-9 And I remember as a kiddie, I used to get out at nighttime. The boys would be going to parties and things, but I'd get out and lay under the stars, and look at the sunsets, and the sunrises, and hear God speak in the wind as it roared through the trees and so forth. God's in His universe, if you'll just look around for Him. Don't you believe that?
And then I noticed up here that day on the mountain, this beautiful rainbow come out. I come out behind the tree; I begin weeping. I just cried like a baby. I happened to listen to the elk herd then; the storm had scattered them. The great males were bugling one to another, while the storm broke them up. Old gray wolf got to howling up here on the hill, the mates are--mate answering down on the bottom. I tell you. I... The deep was calling to the deep for me. I felt like Peter said, "It's good to be here. Let's build three tabernacles, and stay here." How up there among the wilds, why would I ever have to come out? And--but there's sickness down below the hill, of course.
