<TITLE>14. Par 50-54</TITLE>L-50 There she was, holding to Adam's arm, and after while, the wind blows. And she said, "Oh, Adam, that wind..."
He said, "Peace. And it obeyed him. He was a son of God.
After while there come a great roar. Little Eve, couldn't get scared now. No scare about it, it's perfect before God. A great roar come up. She'd never heard it before. But you know, Adam had named him; he was a lion, Leo the lion. And he said, "Come here, Leo." And the lion come over, and another growl come. It was Sheetah the tiger. And he played with them, and they--like kittens around Adam and Eve, till it got late in the evening.
And Eve said, "Oh, Adam, the sun is going down."

L-51 And he said, "We must go to worship." Isn't there something about the evening time, you want to get alone?
And when it was time to go to worship, he took her by the arm, like the modern son of God does today to his wife, and they went up to the cathedral.
Oh, it didn't have a great spire on the top of it and plush seats. It was, perhaps, a bunch of trees standing. And as they knelt down and begin to pray, the sun was going down, and the Holy Spirit that had brood them from the dust hung that sacred Light into the bushes and as it begin to make love to them, I can hear Him say. "Children, have you enjoyed your stay today on the earth that the Lord thy God has put thee?"
"Oh, yes, Father. We have enjoyed this. Oh, we love it." What taken place?
He said, "Children, the sun is going down. I come down to kiss you good night."

L-52 You know what it is? I just love to take my wife by the hand, and go into the bed to my little Joseph, and pick his little hands up and say, "Mother, look at it. It just looks something like your hand."
She'd say, "Dad, you know I'd believe his eyes is set just like yours."
See, we were made in the image of God. And that strain still makes us love it. And how I kiss little Joseph good night, slip over to little Sarah, and kiss her good night, over to little Rebekah, and kiss her good night, there's something in my heart that just, oh, just love.

L-53 And when God kissed His first little family good night, and, "Now, I lay thee down to sleep..." He laid down Leo the lion. He laid down Sheetah the tiger. Nothing could harm them. Father was watching over them. No harm or danger could come. Do you know we're on our road back?
Now, they were the children of God because the Holy Spirit had brood them from the earth. Now, notice, be real reverent just a moment.
Notice close. After that sin came in. Now, look what it done. It marred man. God won't be defeated. This woman did what she did and has to bring life into the world. God brings you into the world, breaks you out of the dust of the earth, just as no other piling up of cosmic--cosmic lights and things will ever do it. You can't bottle up enough light; you can't put enough petroleum with it. It'll never make a human being. Only God can do it. And God made you what you are.

L-54 How'd He do it? Out of the dust of the earth. Now, look, if it taken the Holy Spirit to brood me from the earth, to call me out of the dust of the earth, and now I am based on the basis of free moral agency to receive it or to turn it down. If want life, I can have it. If I want to refuse it, I'm a free moral agent. I can take the devil then. But if I want God, I can take God. And that's before every person that ever come on the earth.
But look, by my own mental conceptions, I can't have it. What is it? It took the Holy Spirit to bring me from the earth. And if the Holy Spirit made me what I am without having any choice, how much more can He bring me back out of the dust of the earth by choice. Not my intellectuals, not my church membership, but the Holy Ghost that's brooding down, and calling to me, I'll answer back to It. He raised His hands and swore that He'd raise me up in the last days.
