<TITLE>11. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 The little boy was setting in the stern of the boat, got so enthused he run up to the center of the boat, and he said--fell down at his limbs, and said, "Sir, I'm going to ask you a question that my mother, Sunday school teacher, or neither pastor can satisfy me." He said, "Can anyone see God?"
And it overcome the old fisherman. He pulled the oars in the boat, braced the little lad in his arms, and he stroked his little hair, and said, "God bless your little heart, sonny. All I've seen for the past fifty years has been God." So much on the inside, he could see Him out, see the rainbow, wherever it is. That's what it is.
If you're looking at Him from the intellectual standpoint, you'll never know Him. You've got to look to Him, let Him come into you and show Hisself His--what He is. We can see God if we'll just look around. And I'm afraid some of us might look too late.

L-37 There was a lady in a ten cent store in Louisville, across the river from us, a few months ago. She had a little boy; he was a little bitty lad, about three years old. And the people noticed she'd go around, pick up things, and try to show him, off the ten cent store counters. And he just stared, the little lad.
So she come to another counter. She begin to get hysterically, and she picked up something else, like a little boy of that age ought to notice, and rang the little bell on the little trinket, said, "Look, honey. Look, honey," and the little boy just sat staring. She was exhausted, and she just fell over the counter, screaming, "Oh, no, no, it isn't so."
And the bystanders rushed to the lady to see what had happened. She said, "My little boy, a few months ago, just started staring right in space; nothing that ought to attract him attracts his attention." And said, "I took him to the doctor, and the doctor said he was better," but said, "he isn't." Said, "He just sets and stares. He won't look at things that he ought to look at for a little boy of his age."

L-38 And how true that is with the church today. We've had great men cross this country like Oral Roberts and great gifts has come into the church; and the--the church just set and stares. The baptism of the Holy Spirit has struck the nation, and many churches has been filled with the Spirit, and great revivals has taken place; and the world just sets and stares in space. When God does anything, He expects people to look at it and believe Him. Miracles and signs and wonders that God does is a little something they're shaking before the church to wake up the church that He is soon coming.

L-39 My son and I... Recently we had visit India, and I read a piece in the paper as we got on the plane, and said, "I guess the earthquake is over." A few days before the earthquake come...
In India they just pick up the rocks and make fences, and walls, and so forth. They don't have the woven wire and the stuff that we have here. They're very poor people. Four hundred and seventy million there, and about, it looked to me, four hundred million of them beggars, and very pathetic sight.
Some of the minister brethren, if you ever see them sights you--you can never feel satisfied here no more. There's something, them thousands a screaming and crying to hear the story of Jesus; and here you have to almost persuade people to come to church. But they're--they're hungering there for God.
