<TITLE>05. Par 43-52</TITLE>L-43   That's the way God does. He sends His Word at season, that season, then It's manifested. And I don't care how many other things that go on; when they see the Word of God promised for that day, being vindicated and promised, there is nothing going to stop them. "A virgin shall conceive." And when they said...

L-44 "The Lord our God shall raise up a Prophet likened unto me," Moses said.

L-45 And when they seen this Man come and do the things He did, they knowed that was the Messiah. When Philip saw that done, he said, "Thou art the Christ. Thou art the King of Israel." He knew it because the Word had promised it, and it was living in that day. No matter how many Pharisees, Sadducees, was standing around, Doctors of Divinity, it didn't stop him a bit, because he was looking for that sign. When he saw it done, that was the sign of the hour. That's what they were looking for, God's way provided. Yes, sir.

L-46   Now you couldn't give a duck, education. He couldn't do it. He wouldn't want it. The rest of the ducks wouldn't follow him, no matter how much degrees he could say he had. "Now, looky here, I've went to duck school. I know all about it. I have graduated. I know all these things." It won't do a bit of good. None of them other ducks would follow him, if they're genuine ducks, amen, because they are looking for a certain sign. When they see that sign, they believe it.

L-47 And if a duck has a way of knowing it, how about a born-again Christian? We ought to know Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection. Right. God does it God's provided way.

L-48   Remember, the education wouldn't be the instrument to lead them to God's provided place. The instrument they have is instinct. And they, them ducks, know that that instinct will take them to God's provided place.

L-49 So does the Holy Spirit take the Church to God's provided place. Not to join a church, but to be filled with His Presence, to see His Word made manifest, vindicated. That's God's provided way for the church, always, for the people, to bring them to the place that God has provided for them. That's exactly what the church should be today. Now, we know that's true.

L-50   There is no better way for a... They never found a better way for a baby to get what it wants than to cry for it. If you give him a bell, and say, "Junior, you're only three days old, but now when you want to, when you want your bottle, raise up this bell and ring it," see if it works. It don't work. The baby cries for what it wants. That's God's provided way. The louder you cry... Don't whip the little fellow, he is only following God's provided way. He wants something. That's right. It's the only way he knows to call his mother; scream for it, cry for it. That's right.

L-51   God recommends this for His children. God recommends this for His believing children. He did. Not intellectual speeches, not some great theology, theology to teach. He wants you to cry for your needs. And that's right, cry out for it! You're too stiff and starchy, you'll never get it. If you are ready to limber yourself up a little, and cry, God will give it to you. He likes to hear His children cry. Cry your needs to God! God wants it. That's His provided way. Cry out for it! That's the way the baby cries; that's the way He wants you to cry.
"Cry how long?"

L-52 How long does a baby cry? Until he gets satisfied. And that's the way the believing Christian should do, God's child. If you see that God made the promise, don't give it up, cry till it's answered. Cry till you see God vindicates His Word. When God vindicates His Word, and proves it's here, then you don't have to cry no more; you got it, walk away and thank Him for it. Until you do that, scream out till you get it. I like that, persistent, holding on.
