<TITLE>06. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 In the old days when someone said the Lord did a miracle they just believed it. They thought, "That's all right. Thank the Lord for it." But today, oh, we've got to scientific take it down and prove it. And if it can be proved scientifically, then it's not faith any more. Oh, I hope you get that. If it's scientific, it isn't faith any more.
What if Moses would've said, "Wait a minute here. Let me stop for a minute. What kind of a chemical spray has been put on that tree? Them leaves are on fire, but they're not burning. You know what I'll do? When it quits burning, I'll pick off some of those leaves and take them down to the laboratory. And I'll have them, the chemicals analyzed, and just find out what kind of a scientific thing this is."
If he would've had that kind of a thought, God would've never said, "Take off you shoes." What did he do? He walked up humbly. He didn't care what the fire, how it was burning, or whether the tree burned up or not; he was searching for God. And every other child of God will believe it the same way. He heard a voice that said, "Take off you shoes, Moses. You're on holy ground."

L-21 If you go down to the meeting tonight, and you come down to find some kind of a fault... "The people make too much noise. The preacher preaches too long. I can scientifically tell you there's people there that's weary. They oughtn't to stay up that long at night." Go ahead. But those who come with their shoes off, with their head knowledge left behind, and a heart open for God, you'll hear a voice say, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."
"I'll go down and count how many members of my church attended that revival. And I'll hurry right back to tell the pastor that our good Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist brethren are down there. What a disgrace." Well, there you go again, back with the head. God deals with the heart.

L-22 Now, the reason that that little compartment that's in your heart... God molded you that way. That was for a purpose. That little place in your heart... All the rest of your body belonged to hi... to you, but that heart belongs to God. That God made Hisself a little room in there, so He could set in the controlling tower that He could guide you. Blessed be His holy Name. Oh, if we would let Him be the pilot and the Holy Ghost the co-pilot, we would be guided over the sea of life. It's His control room.
But what did man do? He listened to his fellow man and accepted the devil in there. And the devil come into it, and he guides him to the things that he can see. God guides him to the things that He said.
No wonder people can't believe in Divine healing with the devil setting up there saying, "Don't you believe it."
"Yes, sir, Mr. Devil, that's right."
But God sets in the heart and makes His Word real to every one that believes it. Though it may not come to pass, maybe they can't do it, but they believe it anyhow, because God said so.

L-23 Abraham when he was told he was going to have a baby by Sarah... She was sixty-five years old then, and he was seventy-five. What a ridiculous sight, an old man sixty-five or seventy-five, and a woman sixty-five going downtown buying up all the pins and the birdeye: "Going to have a baby."
Well, what do you think the doctor would've thought. He'd said, "Sir, we want to make arrangements for the baby. Ever had one before?"
"No."
"How old are you, Sarah?"
"Sixty-five."
"What? How old are you, Abraham?"
"Seventy-five."
"What you doing with all those little booties and things?"
"We're going to have a baby."
"Oh, I can scientifically prove to you she's twenty years a past menopause. Why, you're ignorant."
