<TITLE>17. Par 169-180</TITLE>L-169 The thing of it is, people, my brother, sister, and friends, is to be conscious of your littleness. See? Don't be conscious of how big you are. Be conscious in how little you are. You're--you're small. We're all that way. God can do without us, but we can't do without Him. See? See? We, we can't do without Him, but He can do without us.

L-170   God is only trying to find one person He can get in His hands. He has always tried to do that. You notice, all down through the Bible, when He found an Isaiah, when He found a Jeremiah. Then He found--He found Samson, one day; but Samson gave his strength to God, but he gave his heart to Delilah. See, he...

L-171 You've got to give your all to God; your reverence, your respects, your everything that you are. Just be nothing, just see how little you are, and that's what God wants us to do. And that's real humility. That's the way these Seraphims are in His Presence, you see, with Their face in reverence, covered; Their feet, in humility.

L-172   Now, thirdly, They could fly. They had two wings that put Them in action.

L-173 God is showing His prophet here what kind of a servant He has prepared, reverent, humble, and in action. That, see, that's a real servant of God, these who look upon Him. He was looking upon Hezekiah that got lifted up, and fell by pride. But a servant, His servants in before Him, is reverent, humble, and in action. His servants, that's the way they should be dressed; dressed in reverence, humility, and constantly about the Father's business. Yes, sir. Reverent, humble, in action.

L-174   Just like the little woman, we spoke of the other night, at the well. Now, she was a little predestinated seed laying in her heart, but, as soon as that Light flashed upon there and she seen that was the Messiah, it didn't take her long to go in action. She even forgot the waterpot that she had in her hand. That's how quick she went into action. She had to tell the people. She had to tell somebody else, because that she was sure that she had found the Messiah. Into the city she went, and quickly she went into action, telling people.

L-175   It was Peter, when he was fished all night, and was sitting on the bank that morning. When Jesus borrowed his boat, and had thrust out a little from the bank, and was preaching to the people. And then He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep, and let down for the draught. Let down."

L-176 Well, Simon said, "I'm a fisherman. I--I know when the moon and signs are right. I know when the fish is running. I--I was born on this lake here. I've fished all night and haven't took even a minnow. I haven't taken a thing." Said, "There is no fish in there. But at Thy Word," there you are, "I'll lay down the net." Oh, you might...

L-177   We can't figure these things out, you. And God is past figuring out. You've got to believe It, see. God is known not by knowledge, not by education. He is known by faith, and faith only.

L-178 "At Thy Word! I know there is no fish there. But Thy Word, if You said, 'let down, there is fish there,' You'll, faith will put it there. That's all. I'll let down the net."

L-179   If people sitting here, that's sick and--and needs help from God, if you say, "I've been through every prayer line, I--I've done everything, but, at Thy Word, I'm going to let down the net. I'm coming right now, and I'm going to receive it. I believe I'm in His Presence. And I'm..." And recognize that, with humility, and sincerity and reverence. Let down the net. Take a hold of it. God said so, and that makes it so!

L-180   And we find out, as soon as he, being a fisherman and know what it was to--to catch a good shipload of fish, and he was a poor man, but quickly he went in action when Jesus said "from henceforth you'll catch men." It didn't take him very long. He humbled himself, fell down before Christ, said, "Depart from me, Lord; I'm a sinful man." Said, "I--I--I just can't stay in Your Presence."
