<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Saint John, the 14th chapter, and let's begin at the 7th verse, and read the 12th verse inclusive, Jesus speaking:
If ye had known me, you should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long... with you, and yet has thou not known me, Philip? he that has seen me has seen the Father; and how sayest thou... Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father... the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Verily, verily I--verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
And my subject for the afternoon is "Show Us The Father And It Will Satisfy." "Suffices" means "to satisfy." If You'll show us the Father, it'll satisfy us.

L-14 Now, I'm going to take on this... It's been the desire of the human heart since there's every been a human. They want to know where is God. "If I could only see God."
And I'm going to speak of four different ways of seeing God. And last night, I took the subject of "Sir," in 12th chapter of Saint John, "Sirs, We Would See Jesus." And I believe all that was here last night in their right mind, knowing anything about the Scripture, saw Him working among the people. If they didn't, I believe you're almost past hopes. See? If you--if you didn't see it. After the Scripture lay, just solidly all the way from Genesis on down through the Scripture, exactly what He promised here in the last days, and here we seen Him come into the building last night... For the Christian looks at the unseen. Do you know that? The whole Christian armor is unseen: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. All the fruits of the Spirit is unseen.

L-15 People say, "I'm from Missouri, seeing is believing." Then you could never be a Christian. 'Cause you've got to accept God by faith. See? You've got to believe Him. And last evening, when we seen Him come in by the Spirit, move along, and confirm, in His people, the believers in the building... Went along, and seen Him do just exactly what He did when He was here on earth, confirming this Scripture, "The works that I do, shall you also." And seeing the same results by human beings so submitted to God, until the Holy Spirit can work through those human beings just like the Holy Spirit worked through Jesus, Who just has confessed that, "I and My Father are One. My Father dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works. It's not My words; it's His words."... See? He was so submitted to God, and He died and sanctified a church that He might live in to continue His works until the second advent of His--His coming, He comes the second time.

L-16 Now, we're going to see if we can see God. How many would like to see God? Let's see your hands. I--I know it's juvenile like, but we're supposed to be children. When we get to know a whole lot, then we don't know nothing that we ought to know, the Bible said. We always never want to get a great intellectual feeling that we're above somebody, or know more than somebody else. Just be common and simple. People try to explain God and go plumb over the top of it. People look for God way out there, when He's standing right here. See? That's--you just--you... The simplicity of it just confuses the great, powerful, intellectual mind that tries to make him some great something that He's not. He's here with us; He's God. Just a... He--He's part of you. He's a fiber of you. We're the flesh of His flesh, and the bone of His bone. We're are a part of Him, 'cause we're His children. And God dwells in us just like He did in His Son, Christ Jesus.
