<TITLE>06. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 Now, you see, Satan can do with them whatever he wishes to. Now, if these nations were controlled by God, we'd have no war. There would be no more conflict. There would be... God's. But Satan is the ruler of every kingdom. He rules the world. But someday...
You see it in the people. Every person is wanting one nation to control the world, want one flag, and they want to be the most powerful nation in all the world, and take everything under their own control, and make all the rest of the nations speak their language. What is it? It only shows that there is such a place.

L-24 As David said, "When the deep calls to the deep..." Now, before there can be a deep to--calling on the inside, there has to be a deep to respond to that call. In other words, I've often made this kind of a statement in saying this, quoting this Scripture: before there could be a flower to grow in the earth, there had to be an earth first, before there was a flower to grow in the earth.
And go out here to the seashore and think of the fish. Now, before there was a fin on a fish's back, there had to be a water for him to swim in to use that fin, before the fin ever come there. See?

L-25 And now, we all are looking for a place where there's no death, where there's no sickness. Look at us. As little boys and little girls it was--our main object was win some marbles, or spin tops, or play dolls. Then we had to go to school. Then when we... Next thing was which woman would we choose, or which man, for our life's companion? Then the family come on. They--they--the family has to be educated; the home has to be paid for. And time that's done, we're finished too. Our hair has turned gray and slipped out, and we're--our face is towards the setting of the sun. See?

L-26 But we're longing for that something inside of us, that's saying there--that there is somewhere... What is it? It goes to show that that place is somewhere. Here you are setting here this afternoon. I looked--passed by a lady. The Holy Spirit just said, "Turn around." She was setting there in a wheelchair with her hand up. What's she doing here? Here sets a beautiful young woman setting here, crippled up; maybe a man setting here, arthritis; maybe one with heart trouble.
Now, these people in a wheelchair may live an ordinary life. See? You often wonder sometimes about crippled people. Anyone can see they're crippled. There's no miracle in telling them they're crippled. It's this that looks nice and healthy, then tell them where their trouble is; that's the miracle.

L-27 But sometimes when a person's crippled, they think that's the end of it. Oh, no, no. Just watch. I--I know what it is, but I'm watching to see what He tells me to do. See? I can only speak as He speaks. But you see, they're--they're thirsting, hungering for somewhere. Something tells them that there's a power somewhere that can liberate them. Well, just as sure as that's in your heart, thinking that, there's got to be a fountain somewhere of healing. See, see?
See, before there can be a creation, there has to be a Creator to create the creation. See? And as long as in you is thirsting for somewhere to touch, there is a--surely a fountain open somewhere that you can touch, because it has to be. Something's created that in you. And if--if there was no Bible to tell us so, still it would have to be a reality, because there's something in you that a Creator has created. And before there can be a desire, there has to be something to fulfill that desire.
Did you ever have something you were hungering for and you just couldn't get the taste of it? After while you got it. There it was. See?
