<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Well now, at the little bench we're all standing. I happen to be just a little bit taller than my brother. Now, he can lift the load, that I can't lift, but I can see just a little higher than he can see. See?
Maybe that's Brother Joseph and I. He can--he can preach like I couldn't preach. And maybe I can see a vision, where he will never see. And I couldn't preach like him. And that's the way God has made us all, just like the furniture in the house.
One, I can prove to you, that this night--that there's supernatural voices coming through this room, that you can't see. If you don't believe it, switch on a radio somewhere, see if it isn't. You don't see it; there's no way for your senses to declare it, but it's there. What if a piece of metal... Here's a tape recording, taping that voice, but that tape recorder can't pick up that voice, until something, a crystal of some sort working makes it positive to it. Is that right?

L-18 Well, there's also pictures, live pictures, coming through this room. You know that? Turn the television on. Now, what if all the furniture in the house, some was television, some was radio, some was icebox, and some was the--the chesterfield, and some the--the--the, oh, all the furniture goes in the house. Well, then one, the radio can pick up a voice, but it can't pick up the picture. The television can pick up the picture, but it can't be the icebox. See?
We all have different parts. God has put the furniture in the house. Now, watch the television say, "I will just not be television no more, if I can't be a icebox." See? Television's out. But if we all just find our calling in God and abide there. See? God knows just when to use us, and how to use us. And--and we don't want to be jumping here and there. Be where God put you. Be original. Be just what God wants you to be.

L-19 Now, in this case, brother--my brothers and sisters standing behind, said, "Now, you look over and see what you can see."
All right, I reach my big, long, lanky hands up, and get a hold of my--the boards, and I pull real hard on my toes up, look and I say, "Why." I come back down, my, hard work."
What did you see?"
"A elephant."
You did?"
"Uh-huh."
"What else did you see?"
"Well, I don't know, I'm trying." And I go up--a way up high and get a hold of it again, and I pull with all my might, I look, "Why." when I come back down...
"What did you see?"
"A giraffe."

L-20 Now, that's like these visions on the platform. See? It's seeing a vision. Now, it's a gift of God. Now ministers, get this. It's a gift of God. Now, when Jesus was here on earth, He was the greatest Gift that God ever give to the earth, because He was God. God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. "The fullness of God dwelt in Jesus Christ. He had the Spirit without measure." The Bible says that.
Now, in Him, would be just like comparing, I'd say like this, of all the water there is in the sea. That was the Gift of God, that was in Jesus Christ. Now, this little gift, that's in his unprofitable servant here, is just a spoonful of water out of that ocean. Now, you know how much that spoonful of water would be to the ocean, nothing. But remember, the same chemicals that's in that spoon, is in the whole ocean, just not as much of it. See?
Now, God give that gift to me by measure. He gives it to you by measure. He gives it to this man to preach by measure. He gives it to this man to sing by measure. But He give it to Jesus without measure. It was just--all of God was in Him; He was God manifested in flesh.
