<TITLE>06. Par 46-55</TITLE>L-46   How many here would like to see Him? Just--just for say so, raise your hand. Say, "I--I like..." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, there was two there, only two that wanted to see Him, and here is two or three hundred wants to see Him. Well, then, why can't we see Him if He's the same yesterday, today, and forever? Now, that's the way we want to look at it. It's either the Truth or it isn't the Truth. And that's why I expressed it the first time. This Bible is either the Truth or it isn't the Truth. Therefore, when the Bible says anything, you can just hold on to it, for God is obligated to this Word, for He was the One made the promise. God said so, all right, it's so.

L-47 Now, it will depend on what you're looking for. You usually get what you look for. I want you to remember that. Now, if you want to see God, God could be seen. If you want to hear God, God can be heard. Just as He was yesterday, so is He today. He doesn't change.
Now, reminds me of a little story, yet it's true.

L-48   I live in Indiana, my native home. I'm a Kentuckian, by birth. And we live by the Ohio River. Enough water goes through there, a day, to make lettuce grow all over Arizona. Millions of gallons of water pass down that dam, and it looks like that some way we could bypass it. We got more than we need there. It's almost a swamp. And--and you need the water here. But it will be, someday, in that great Millennium that is to come, when sin is taken from the earth, and them things will be right.

L-49   There was an old fisherman lived down on that river. He was a deacon in my church. His name was Wisehart, a very fine old man. And there was a certain Sunday school in our city, a fine church, a great fine internationally known denomination, a fellowship, fine pastor, and fine people. And there was a certain family in our city, that went to this church. And there was a little boy in this family who got real enthused one day, after hearing so many flannel-graph readings and so forth, till he said to his mother, he said, "Mama, if God is a great God, as you say He is, could anyone see Him?"

L-50 She said, "Son, you should ask your Sunday school teacher. Mother is not able to tell you that."

L-51 So he went to the Sunday school teacher and he said, "Teacher, I would like to ask you something. You tell me about Great God," said, "that's so great. He opens the Red Sea for the Israelites. And He makes the sun to shine, and He whirls the earth perfectly in time, in its orbit, and so forth." Said, "Could anyone see Him?"

L-52 She said, "That's too deep for me. You'll have to ask the pastor."

L-53 So he got to the pastor and he said, "Pastor, could anyone see God?" Said, "He's so great. I hear you speak from Him, from the pulpit, telling how great He is." Said, "Could anyone see Him?"

L-54 Said, "No, son. No one could see Him," said, "because you just can't see God. That's all. We just have to believe It."

L-55   Well, the little fellow, it didn't suffice it. So he, one day, he was with the old brother, fisherman, on the river. And they had went up to what's called the Six-mile Island. It's six miles, an island, from Louisville, Kentucky, to this island. They had been fishing up there, and they had caught a good catch of fish. And on the road down, there come up a storm. And there we have many storms, that--that wet country, lightning and thunder, and great gushes of rain. And--and so after the... They had to go to the shore and get behind trees.
