<TITLE>07. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 And these wise men came over, and the star led them to Jesus: supernatural. Some shepherd was up on the hill; angels came down and told them. They heard the heavenly hosts singing: supernatural. And the priests, the great doctors was in the temple studying their doctrine. They didn't believe in supernatural. They didn't see anything. And they criticized the others that did see it. See what I mean?
Now, notice. Now, there was a--a... In them days... Listen, if there is a deep calls to the deep, there's got to be a deep to respond to it. David said that: "At the noise of Thy waterspouts, the deep calling to the deep..."
And otherwise, before there's a fin on a fish's back, there has to be a water first for him to swim in, or he wouldn't have any fin. Before there was a flower to grow in the earth, there had to be a earth first or there wouldn't be any earth--or any flower.

L-23 Just recently, I read where a little boy eat the erasers off of pencils. ...(erasers)... He eat the pedal off of a bicycle. It was--it was rubber. And when they taken him to the clinic, they come to find out that he needed sulfur. Sulfur--sulfur's in the rubber. Now listen, if there is something in here craving for sulfur, there's got to be a sulfur first, or you'd never have the craving. You see what I mean?
How many here believes in Divine healing? All right, thank you. That shows there's a fountain of Divine healing somewhere. There's a God that--that's got a fountain of healing somewhere, or you'd never be here. Before you can have a hunger here, you had to have something to make that hunger.
Listen, here it is. Before there can be a creation there has to be a Creator to create that creation. Do you see? Because you believe that there is healing, something has to put that in your heart. And if there was no healing, you would never have it in your heart. You see what I mean?

L-24 So that's the reason Simeon believed that he'd see the Christ. Now, let's illustrate. It's Monday morning. Simeon is back in the temple. He's reading the book Isaiah: "All we like sheep have gone astray." And right the same time, way down the line, I see a little virgin come in: beautiful little lady. And the people laughed at her, said, "Look at her. She's not even married, and she's got a baby. Horrible." But she knew in her heart Who that Baby belonged to. No matter how much people laugh at you, and say that you're crazy, you know what's in your heart if you've received the Holy Ghost and you know what It--where It come from. So you don't care what the people say. And here she is standing here.
Now, every little Israel... Every little child in--in the Jewish people, when a baby was born, eight days, [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] the--the mother had to come and have the baby circumcised. It was a covenant. And also, she was to offer a--a offering for her purification. And a--a rich baby could offer a little lamb. But a poor baby offered little turtledove. They were cheaper.
