<TITLE>11. Par 103-112</TITLE>L-103   The Bible said, "Just before the antediluvian destruction," and Jesus said, "so will it be in the Coming of the Son of man, as it was in the days of Noah." There were giants in the earth. They were giants, great statue men.

L-104 And today there is intellectual giants. There is men who are, oh, great men, great powerful men. They know Greek just like they know Hebrew, and everything, and can set it together so intellectual. But where is that--that revival? Where is that God that burns on the heart of the human being? Not how intellectual it is; it takes simplicity, to bring the power of God.

L-105   Then they found, like we have today, that trouble set in. The ship begin to rock, and the winds blowed the sails away, and the water filled up the boat. What? All hopes was gone, all hopes of survival.

L-106 Now, if you ever was in Galilee, them same things happen today. Over on the west side, there's--there's mountains. The crack in it, like that, somehow is cut away. And, today, fishermen around the shore there will tell you that it's treacherous to go across the sea there, because them storms come up unknowingly, and just sweep down. And that water, troubled water, just churns around and around, and it sinks the fishermen yet today.

L-107 And all of a sudden something happened. Trouble arose. And down went the sails, and a way the wind puffed it away. And the oars begin to fail, and crack and break, as those brawny-backed fishermen laid to them, knowing how to face those waves. And--and all of a sudden the boat filled up with water. But isn't it strange that men, who just a few hours ago, amen, seen Him do such things, and had forgot all about it?

L-108   The God Who raised the dead, the God Who healed the sick, the God Who fills with the Holy Ghost, that we've seen done, is now the same today. He's right here in the boat. He is here with us. "Lo, I am with you always. Whether in troubles, or when she's sailing smooth, I'm still in the boat." See?

L-109 They had forgot about it. And they thought all survival was gone. They thought they... They had seen Him do so many things, but now they had forgot He was in the boat. All forgotten, in the time of trouble, just like it is now.

L-110 Now, just like today, we find, they found troubles that their skill could not remedy. See? It was beyond their skill to remedy it. They would try to put the sails up, and the winds blew them away. They tried to lay to the oars, to keep the water out of the boat, to hit the waves just right. As you boatmen know how you have to do, and not go right over the wave, you'd sink the boat. You got to steer it, ride the wave as you go through. And them fishermen, with all they had, so interested of survival, till they forgot that the Creator was in the ship. And all their skill still failed.

L-111   I see two sisters setting here tonight in wheel chairs. See, no doubt but them women has tried everything in the world to get well. There may be people here with cancer, someone with heart trouble, and the doctor's skill has worked everything they can, to help you. But you're at the end. They, there's nothing can be done. Have we forgot Who is with us?

L-112 Who is this, sailing life's solemn main, with us? Who is it give the promise? He is the Word. See? It's never been taken from us as yet. I want it so, in my heart, if they ever take this, I got It here. See? See? But the Word is still with us. He is the Word. And the--the things that the doctor can't remedy, the things that the church world can't remedy, we have the Creator of all things with us.
