<TITLE>06. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 And the teacher hysterically ran into the street and began looking for this certain little girl that did not return. And after everybody was gone, the streets was cleared, following the king, singing "God save the king..." And they found this little girl standing behind a telegraph pole with her little head leaned up against her hands just crying her little heart out.
And the teacher picked her up. And she said, "Martha, honey, why are you weeping?" Said, "Did you not get to wave your flag at the king?"
She said, "Yes, teacher, I--I got to wave my flag."
She said, "Well then, did you not to see the king?"
She said, "Yes, teacher, I got to see the king."
She said, "Then why are you weeping so, honey?"
And she said, "You know, teacher, I saw the king. But I was so little, he didn't see me."
That's not so with our King Jesus. I don't care how little you are, how little you do, you cannot do the smallest thing without Him knowing all about it. He knows every little heartache, every little pain that you bear, every little disappointment you have, no matter how little it is. He still knows all about it.

L-21 You know, our Lord, He meets in realms of man. Sometimes He meets in great groups of men. Sometimes He meets with few. We have record of Him meeting with five hundred one time after His resurrection. And then we have where He met with the seventy, and with the twelve, and even with the three. And then we have times where He will meet with just one. That's what makes Him God to me, is because that He is humility.
I've had the privilege of doing much traveling and meeting great men. When I meet man that tries to be great that's you can always class that man; there isn't very much to him. Great man that's they try to make you think you're the great one. But it's man that wants to be great, if you'll just chase it down to the bottom, you'll find out it's a stuffed shirt. Now, that's not... I don't mean that to be flat.

L-22 A group of Methodist brethren that just received the Holy Spirit came to my church, and, where I used to pastor, and they was great men, lived up in Indiana. And they had said, "Brother Branham, after we've received the Holy Ghost, we been reading some books." Said, "Should we wait on the Lord and seek the Lord to tell us our ministry?"
I said, "Don't you do it at all."
He said, "Well, the book said..."
I said, "But wait a minute, brother."
If you ever take men that's so zealous that they want to always be doing something, God couldn't trust that person. If you'll notice in the Bible, the man that God used, was the man was trying to get away from all of it. That's the one that God used. Take, for instance, Paul, Moses, and so forth, trying to run from the very cause.

L-23 If a man's got to give man to do a certain thing, and he was so zealous of it, the first thing you know he'd be so swelled out. But if a man doesn't want to do such, maybe God can use him for a while, anyhow. If you just can get something out of him... But men that usually wants to go, and blast over the world, and tear it down, usually God can't trust him because he can't... He wants to do it himself. He gets into his own way with it. If a man don't want to go, then God almost has to drive him into it. That's the type of man that God usually uses in the Scripture.
I said, "You just live for Him, and love Him with all your heart, and He will place you in the place that He desires for you to be." That's right.
We try to take one another's places; we can't do that. We must always abide in our calling, where God has called us to.
