<TITLE>09. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 Then if this little deer is quick, and the wolf grabs her... If he can't get by the ear and drag her in somewhere. (He will get her to fixing up and dressing herself.) And the other hold on the wolf is to grab the little deer in the flank. If he misses the throat, the jugular vein, the quick kill (a cigarette, or drink of whiskey, or rock-and-roll), he will grab her by the flank, and then he throws himself. And that's the balance part of the deer. The hindquarters are heavier than the front quarters, so he can throw the deer; it's out of balance.
Now, if the little deer's quick, comes to herself, what happens? She can throw herself in such a way that the wolf will jerk a whole mouthful out of her flank. That's what David was talking about. Away she goes. Then she's all bleeding, wounded. She's been to a revival. And she comes wounded.

L-39 And any hunter knows that if he wounds a deer, and if he can get to water, you'll never get him. He will run right straight to water. I've watched them a many times. He will drink, then run up and try to get away from the dogs, come back. And he will never leave that stream. As long as he can find water, he will live. But if he can't find water, he will die in a few minutes. That's the reason David said, "As the hart panteth for the water brooks, my soul thirsts after Thee, O God."

L-40 Picture it. He must find water or die. Watch, his little ears up, his heart beating fast, his life leaving his nostrils. With every whit that's he's got, "Oh, water, where are you? Where is the water?" Hearing the hounds howl, he's got to get to water or die.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord God. When the Church gets to that place that it's got to find Christ or die, you'll see a revival break out in the land, but not until, not until that time.
Oh, what God wants to do with His Church. He sends us gifts; He sends us wonders; He sends us revival; and we just 'doze right on into the world. Come out, dispersed.

L-41 Here some time ago I was in India. And the day before I come there... (I got a piece out of a paper.) When I arrived, the day before there, there was a great earthquake. And before that earthquake took place, you know what happened? All...
Now, India don't have fences like you do in Tennessee; they have big rock fences. And all the cattle and the sheep got away from those big fences and went out in the middle of the field right in the heat of the day, and stood there. All the little birds that had their nests in the little coves in those fences and on those great big high walls, they left their nests and went out into the forest and set in the trees. What did it? And they stayed there until the earthquake was over. If not, they would've perished along those walls and those big towers.
And, brother, sister, let me say now: if God could give instinct to a bird to get away from danger to come, surely He can give it to man. Danger's at hand. Get away from these great big old cold, formal, starchy things that's of the world. Get out and flee to the center of God's Salvation, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, and there plead for mercy, for destruction is at hand.

L-42 When you see revivals and things going on like is going on now, just remember, destruction comes. Jesus said Himself, "In that day when the Son of man reveals Himself from heaven..." He's revealing Himself now in mercy to His church. The next revealing will be in judgment on those who's rejected Him.
"My soul thirsts after Thee, O God. I long to see Thy power, like I have seen it in Thy sanctuary." The real true servant of God is hungering and thirsting for God. The first move of the Spirit, their soul jumps to grab it.
