<TITLE>04. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 But your faith... When faith is positive, you can be not be too positive. Like if you're setting in a--a--given a trial, in a trial. Then you look through a window and seen an accident, it's hard for them to take your evidence, 'cause you might have had an optical illusion. You never seen it that way. See? And sometimes you think you're positive right. Did you ever go down the road and see a mirage on the road? Looks just exactly like it's water. I read in the paper here some time ago where a bunch of ducks thought it was--was water, and must have seen through their eyes, and lit right on the road. It killed them all (See?), because it was a mirage.
Many times human beings sees a mirage, and they think, "Oh, this is just it," wind up killing themselves. See? See them out in the desert when they out in there and prospecting. They get out of water, and their canteen's gone, and they have no water. And they begin to see mirages and they think it's water, and they run and fall down and begin to throw--think--water upon them. And what is it? Heaping hot sand. And that's the way the devil does. Sometimes he shows you a false mirage. And you think it's something great, but when you get there you find yourself just heaping hot sands and sin upon you more and more. See, don't go after the devil's mirage; let your faith anchor right in the Word of God. Stay right with it (See?), like that. It's got to pull out. See?

L-9 That sixth sense will--will--will defy any of the other five. We do with the five's all right as long as they agree with the sixth. But men wasn't given to live by the five senses; he was--to let the five senses guide him. He was given, prone to, born here to be led by the sixth sense. That's what God gave him the sixth sense for. That's God's place in the heart to lead us. So we are led by the sixth sense, if we'll just let it. Now, if the sixth sense says that the--the Word is wrong, then don't--you're not in the sixth sense. See? That's the five senses. But the sixth sense will believe things that the five senses doesn't clare--declare. It's kind of complicated but it--it's true (See?), that the sixth sense is what we're guided by.

L-10 I was just out there just a few moments ago, prayed for a dear old woman that's been laying there for four days waiting to be prayed for. And such a thing, I tell you, I just feel like I ought to change it to a healing service somehow, to see the Spirit of God move on like that. And that poor old thing, I caught her by the hand, and--and I seen what was wrong. And well, that...

L-11 What did you read now? Luke, yeah. Uh-huh. All right. Now, I want to take a text out of that, the Lord willing. Now, if God is willing, tomorrow night I promised, I want to preach on "The Seal Of God." You all like the teaching lessons like that? "The Seal Of God," and then "The Mark Of The Beast" the following night. And tonight I want to take a text out of this or--for a subject, out of where he's read here, Saint Luke the--the 18th chapter. And he read from the 35th to the 43rd verse, inclusive.
Now, I want to take the 38th verse for a text. "Thou Son Of David, Have Mercy On Me." And let's take it more like a little drama tonight. I'm tired a little bit in my throat, and let's just have a little drama of it for a few moments.
