<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And I've seen people, that come into the meeting, like in... Our largest crowd that we ever had was five hundred thousand in Bombay, and then I guess, my greatest altar call, we ever numbered was at Durban, South Africa, thirty thousand, one afternoon of heathens, gave their hearts to the Lord Jesus, when they seen something take place at the platform. Ten thousand Mohammedans followed that.
Now,--but I've noticed, take the bushman, and the tribesman, that come in that doesn't even know which is right and left hand. They'll wear no clothes. They don't know one word of English. They don't know any, but just their tribal language, but when they receive the Holy Spirit, they act and do just the same things you do, when you get the Holy Spirit, just act the same way, go--just exactly the same. It shows that God is universal. God is omnipresent, omniscient, infinite, and He works the same with all these people.

L-6 And every human being, regardless of color, or what he is, how little, how big, what his color is, they're all of one blood. God made of all nations, one blood. German, Swiss, African, everyone can give each other a blood transfusion. The color of our skin, and the size of us has nothing to do with it. But every human being's got a little compartment in his heart, that there's not even a blood cell in it. Many years ago the critics used to say, "God made such an awful mistake when He said, 'As a man thinketh in his heart,' because there's no mental facilities in the heart for him to think with."
But two years ago, I believe it was, when I was in Chicago in a meeting, great headlines come in the paper, that they had discovered, science has, that a man does have a mental faculty in his heart, that there's a little compartment in the heart, the human heart, that's not in the--the animal heart. They've found it on research on the heart, and it--in there they say it's the place where the soul abides. So then, after all, God was right when He said, "As a man thinketh in his heart."

L-7 Now, we--we reason with our mind, but the heart doesn't reason. The heart just believes. We look with our eyes, but we see with our heart. Do you look... You take something complicated, you say, "I just don't see it." You--You mean you don't understand it. See? Your understanding comes from your heart. You have your understanding.
Now, many times, I know all Christians know this, that people will think, "Well, it just can't happen, but yet, in my heart there's something tells me, that it's going to happen." Did you ever have that experience, you Christians? Sure, you have. That's that inside man thinking. It cast down reasons; it doesn't have anything to do with the reasoning, because with--with God, words should not be reasoned. We cannot reason out God. God is never known by science, never is God known by--by mental powers. God is only known by faith. Knowledge will never get a man to God; knowledge takes him away from God.

L-8 That's where it started in the garden of Eden. There were two trees, one was the Tree of Life, the other one a tree of knowledge. Man took his first bite from the tree of knowledge; he separated himself from the Tree of Life. And every time he bites off the tree of knowledge, he continually gets further away from the Tree of Life, because he begins to think he knows how to reason it out. You cannot reason God; you got to come back to the simple Tree of Life, and abide under there eating the fruit of Life.
That's what we're here for to bring the ministry that the Lord has given me to you people here at Yakima, and many of you attended meetings at other places, but for this city, perhaps, be many here this week, that's never been in the meetings.
