<TITLE>15. Par 171-180</TITLE>L-171 Now, we find out that he'll go up in the air, way up in the air. He's got his antennas out. He knows the kind of food that these little ducks has to live on, to make this flight. So when he picks up something way down on the ground, you'll see him soar off, and down he comes. The whole group will come right down, just have a gastronomical jubilee. And he'll honk, up in the air they'll go again, straight on towards the south. That's right. God's leader, God's leader for the ducks. That is right.

L-172   I want to say something else. You know, they have never been able to scientifically get, find a better way for a baby to get what he wants besides crying for it. You know, they can't educate him to grunt. And they can't educate him to talk that quick. But you know how he gets it? He just takes God's provided way for it. He cries for it, yells, and kicks, and screams till he gets it. See? That's right. That's the only way, is cry for it. They can't find a better provided way than God's provided way. That's right. Just let it go. And those natural things...

L-173   I stopped, here not long ago, in Germany, and was speaking to a large group of people. And I said, "What's the matter with you Germans? You know, I was coming down the street, and a dog barked, and he barked in English." I said, "A mother was trying to pacify her baby out there at the car, a while ago, and he was crying, and he was crying in English." I said, "What do we get all scrupled up about? See? They are going God's provided way. And we come from a tower of Babel, you see, got all scrupled up." That's right!

L-174   Knows God's provided way is the best way. They know no better way for the baby to get what he wants than to cry for it. As Dr. Bosworth used to say, "The baby that cries the loudest gets the best service." That's about the way it is.

L-175 That goes for God's children. I could parallel that for you. A man get up, on, say, chew his chewing gum real well, "You know, Father, I'm here tonight. If You want to give me the Holy Ghost, all right. I'm here. But if You want to heal me, I'm setting here. But if You don't, why, all right. It's Your will, Lord." He's done wrote the will out, here in the Bible. "This is Your will." All right. This is His will, right here. "And if You want me to have it, I'll have it. But, nevertheless, if You don't, why, it's all right." You'll never get nowhere.

L-176   But let that one get there and cry out, like Buddy Robinson. He stopped in the middle of the corn field. He tied up his mule. He said, "Lord, if You don't give me the Holy Ghost, when You come back you'll find a pile of bones laying right here. I'm going to stay here till I get It." That's business.

L-177 God always recommends to His people, His believing children, to always go in His provided way. That's God's idea, to recommend to His children, His provided way. Cry for what you have need of. He wants you to cry out.

L-178   When Peter started out, walking on the water, he thought he was getting along all right. "See how big I'm doing?" He started sinking. He didn't say, "Well, I guess it failed," on down to the bottom, a few bubbles come up, and that was all of it. See? No, no.

L-179 He cried out, "Lord, save me." Amen. And that Eternal hand reached down and picked him up again. Why? He cried out.

L-180 That's what's the matter with the church. We don't lay there long enough. We don't cry out long enough. We don't hold onto it. If a little baby wants something, he'll kick and scream, turn red in the face. We're afraid we'll take the (what is it, you call it?) mascara out of our face, or whatever it is, that paint. You get--you get what you want from God, you'll take it off, anyhow. So, you don't have to worry about it. You'll mess your hair up, but that don't make any difference. No. No, sir.
