<TITLE>08. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 The same way it is by God. Here's a sick man dying; the doctor can do no more for him. But he can't just holler, "Hey, Jesus, I want You to come and heal me," say, "I'm going to do this." That won't work. You got to work according to the laws of the Spirit. That's right. See, you got to work according to God's laws.
Now, I'm going to read some out of His Word and then we're going to speak on the Word for a few minutes and have prayer service for the sick. In Saint John 14, and beginning with the 5th verse...
Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not where Thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto Me but by--or to the Father, but by Me.
If you had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth you know Him, and have seen Him.
Philip saith unto Him, Lord, show us the Father, it'll suffice us.
Jesus said unto Him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me has seen the Father: and how sayest thou... Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but of the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.
May the Lord add His blessings to the Word. I'm going to speak this afternoon for the next twenty minutes, or so forth on "Show Us The Father, and It'll Satisfy."

L-35 Now, if God is such a great person, why can't we see Him? That all... That right? Now, we're going to see if I can make God, bring God, rather, to your--so you'll be sure to see Him right here this afternoon. Would you rejoice in it? Now, if God's such a great person, why can't we see Him? If He's the Maker of the human being, why can't we see Him? And Philip said, you know, "Show us the Father and it'll satisfy."
Now, I'm going to take four ways of seeing God. Wish we could take a hundred, but I'm just going to take four ways, and hurry right through them, and see if we can't see God. Now, we're going to speak of God in His universe, God in His Word, God in His Son, God in His people. And now, let's see if we can see God.

L-36 Now, it's many times it's been said that no man can see God at any time, the Bible said so. But the only begotten of the Father has declared Him. Philip, here was very inquisitive; he wanted to see the Father. Says here He said, "I've been so long with you, Philip, and you don't know Me?" Said, "When you see Me you see My Father."
In other words, you see the Father express Hisself through the Son. Him and the Father were one in the sense that His Father was dwelling in Him, not Him doing the works; He was a Son, Himself, the immortal, virgin born, Son of God. And then in Him was dwelling the God the Father, expressing Hisself to the world, His attitude towards the people. See? Well, that's how Christ and God were one. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Now, He said, "When you see Me, you see the Father, and why do you say, 'Show us the Father?'"

L-37 Now, let's look at God in His universe. We take the great cycle of the world. Did you know, no man up to this day, or no science can prove what makes this world turn the way it's turning? Did you ever try it? They have many times to swing a ball into the air and make it whirl, and it won't stay in the same category. It'll be slowing up or speeding up; it'll never stand the same one split second, on the same turning, because it's whirled by a certain motion.
But this world is turning so perfectly that even they can tell you when the moon and star and sun will go into eclipse twenty years away. That's perfect. There isn't a piece of machinery in your automobile, or no other piece of machinery anywhere, will operate that perfectly. They can tell you the very minute, twenty and thirty years away when the sun will go into the eclipse, timing it by the revolution of its turning. How wonderful, how it sets there. And I said, "What is gravitation?"
