<TITLE>13. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 She believed it. She had an awful time getting to it in her age. That's all God had in her age for her. She believed it.
And they were standing there watching greater things then Solomon did. And yet they did not believe it and called it the devil. He said, "She'll rise in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the utmost parts of the earth to see a spirit of discernment. And a greater than that is with you."
I say tonight, friends, though Jesus Christ being the Son of God standing where He was, He was not yet glorified. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] He had not yet been proven. He had a chance at Gethsemane to turn it down. But He hadn't been proven. But today He's proven by God. He died, and was buried, and rose again. And after two thousand years, He's alive yet tonight, a greater sign than it was when He walked on the earth. A greater than Solomon is here.

L-46 Oh, my. I believe the honest in heart wants to see something real. Words are fine, but will that Word work? If God made a promise of healing, will it work? If He made these promises, will it work?
If He said, "The things that I do shall you do also, and more than this 'cause I go to My Father," would it work? I know the King James says "greater," but nothing could be, if you'd watch the original, it said "more." He stopped nature, He raised the dead. You could do no greater, but you could do more of it. He was in one person then, His Son, God was, Jesus. And now He's in the church universal around the world. "More than this shall you do because I go to My Father."

L-47 Real, honest hearted people, you Georgian's, I believe you to be honest and sincere, honest-hearted. That's the reason you're here tonight. Not as I'm condemning a man's church, every one of them is fine. We're brothers. But the hour has come when we've got to lift up above our denominational feelings and come into brotherhood. We're brotherhood with one another and with Christ. And that's what these things are for. God send something real to draw the honest heart to Him.
I am a hunter, as many of you know. I used to hunt in the north woods. And I hunted with a man called Burt Caul, one of the best shots I ever hunted with. And I'm a guide in many of the states, licensed guide.
My mother's a half-Indian. She come off the reservations. Her mother did. My father's Irish. Just enough of the blood to make me long for the outside... I'd like to preach to you sometime on my experiences, how I found God in nature. God lives in nature.

L-48 And I used to go up there and hunt with him, because you never had to worry about Burt ever being lost. He--he knowed where he was at and a good shot. But he was the meanest man I ever seen. He was so cruel-hearted.
And one year I went up there. And he used to shoot little, baby fawns just to make me feel bad. And I said, "Burt, you don't have to do that. There's no need to be shooting the little, baby fawns. We got plenty of time. Hunt a deer, one that is old."
"Oh," he said, "Preacher, you're chicken-hearted. That's what's the matter with you bunch of preachers." Said, "You're just chicken-hearted."
I said, "Burt."
He said, "I thought you was a hunter."
I said, "I'm a hunter, but I'm not a killer." I said, "That's wrong. I was a game warden for seven years just before coming into the ministry." And I said, "I'm a conservationist, and I don't believe in doing that." (Though it was legal to shoot a fawn, but not a dozen.)
