<TITLE>09. Par 28-31</TITLE>L-28 The Holy Spirit spoke to him and said, "Simeon, rise up."
"What for, Lord?" No, no. A man of God don't question God. When He says, "Rise up," he raises up.
He got up. It ain't no business of what he's going to do; just follow Him. Don't wait and say, "Now, if I went to the altar, Mrs. Jones, what would she say? What would the pastor say? What would this say?" Don't make any difference what they say, do what the Holy Spirit says: "Move."
Simeon raised up in the temple. He looked around. The Bible said, "When the deep," to David, "when the deep calleth to the deep..."
Do you believe in Divine healing? Say Amen. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Well, that's the reason there is a Divine healing, because you believe it. There's something in you.

L-29 When we first come, our fathers came to Kentucky, they fought the Indians. And they found the Indians, when they would die, they'd go down here at the Ohio river, and around in the Green river, and Cumberland river here, and put their dead in the canoe, and put some corn, a bow and arrow, and push him out in the river. They said, "He's going to the happy hunting ground." The Indian didn't know about God; the only thing, there was something in him that told him there was a God.
The Hottentots of Africa went in there; the men didn't know right or left hand, but he worshipped an image. He knowed there was a God. Something in him... He's a human being. He's got a soul tells him there's a God.

L-30 Notice, quickly, I have to hurry and close. Time is getting away so swiftly. Notice, "When the deep calleth to the deep," David said, "At the noise of Thy waterspouts..." If there is something in here calling for something, there's got to be something out there to respond to that call. In other words, before there was a fin on a fish's back, there had to be a water for him to swim in or he wouldn't have had no fin. Before there was a tree to grow in the earth, there had to be an earth first, or there wouldn't be no tree to grow in the earth. If there's something in here calling for something, there's got to be something out there respond to it.
It was not long ago, I read in the paper (I've quoted it many times), where a little boy eat the erasers off of pencils. He eat the pedal off of a bicycle. And they took him down at the doctor and examined him at the laboratory, or the clinic, rather, and they found out his body needed sulfur. He found sulfur in the pedal of the bicycle, or in the rubber. Sulfur is in rubber. See? There was something in here calling for sulfur, and if there's anything calling for sulfur, there's got to be a sulfur to respond to that call, or there'd never be a call.

L-31 And if you're seeking Divine healing from God, there's got to be a fountain open somewhere. The Indian was seeking God. There's got to be a God to respond to it. If you're seeking the Holy Spirit, there's got to be a Holy Spirit to respond to that seeking. If there's no deep to respond, there's no deep to call.
Why'd you come here tonight? Because you believe that there is somewhere. And as sure as you'd believe it, there's a fountain open. That's why the Holy Spirit brought you here.
Simeon believed that he was going to see the Christ. And he was setting in the temple; it--it was God's business to see that he found that place. Just like it's God's business to see that you got here tonight. Led, expecting, and he got up, went walking out through the building.
