<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Now, my ministry is in a little slump now, because it's changing in America from one to another. And if you've noticed it, the first was a sign that the people looked at. The second was a sign that only God, Himself, could do. Now, on this third ministry, it lays it right straight back in the lap of the people again. See? If they'll come with that sincerity, no doubt at all. Watch the Holy Spirit, they operate itself... It comes up on me and tells them just exactly. It heals right there. See? But they have got to come, not with an emotional faith, but with a solid faith to believe that it's the truth (See?), as God puts it right back in the individual's lap again. Because it has to be that way, 'cause there's no power in man to heal.
And these things that I've told you about the squirrels, about the--the healings of those people and those things, God in heaven knows that every word of that is as true as I know how to say it. That's right. And so I know that just ahead of me now, lays a greater ministry than what I have. But it'll take the people just a little bit. When they go to getting faith in it, it'll start its working. How do I see visions out over the audience there? How is it? It's because you yourself are doing it. I don't do that. You do it.

L-14 Now, I doubt whether either--any of you ever seen a real vision, seen me have a real vision. My wife could tell you how it is. Sometimes I lay for hours without a bit of breath or a doctor can examine and find no pulse, and strike a match and hold that close to my nose and no breath for an hour or more... But that's in a real vision. This is a vision like, but you are doing it. Let me... I--I'm better not. We got too much time. I was going to try to explain to you the best that I know how. Is it all right? Here...
No one can never explain it, because it's inexplainable. But here's the best of my knowledge. I'll take my minister brother who's here on the platform. All right. We're all going to a big carnival, or I'll say a circus. That's the way I used to have to. One would come to town and we'd have to peep through a knot hole somewhere and watch it, 'cause we couldn't go in.

L-15 Now, we're going to say that--that all of us is at this great circus, and we can't get in. And it happens to be, that God made me a great, tall man. And He made another brother a short, stout man. Now, we cannot help what we are.
Jesus says, "Who taking thought can add one cubit to his statue?" You can't do it. God makes you just what you are. And that's where I different a little with our latter brethren or latter day rain brethren, of trying to lay hands on people and make them prophets and so forth like that. God sets in the Church. See? If man does it, it's just like electing a bishop or electing something else. It seldom works. But when God sets it, it's--it's foreknowledge. By foreknowledge He foresaw everything.

L-16 Do you all believe that God is infinite? Well, if He is infinite, He knowed every flea would ever be on earth, how many times it'd ever bat its eyes and how much tallow it would make. That's before the foundation of the world ever started. Now, that wouldn't even half express infincy--infinite. He's so perfect, till He knowed the everything that would ever do. He knowed every time, how many, how long your fingernail would be, and how many times you batted your eye, and how many times you moved your finger before the world ever begin. Every individual... That's infinite. See? Infinite, there's just no... There's no explaining to it. So you can't explain the word.
It's just like on your--on--on your camera, or when you go beyond a certain range, then it's--it's just on; it's eternity. Now, that's God. Then He knowed all things.
