<TITLE>12. Par 123-136</TITLE>L-123   See, the one over his feet, covered, meant humility. Watch this servant now before God: His face covered in reverence, His feet covered in humility, yes, and very conscious of... Be very conscious of your littleness.

L-124 All of us is trying to be some big somebody. "I am Doctor So-and-so, the great So-and-so of So-and-so." You are nothing. That's right. That's just... You're nothing. If you want to know how great you are, put your finger in a pool of water and pull it out, and find the hole where you put it in. See? There is nothing there. And that's what we are. God can do without us, but we can't do without Him. Who are you? See?

L-125 Being conscious of how little you are. The way up is down. "He that humbles himself shall be exalted; he that exalts himself shall be abased."

L-126   Not long ago I was invited to Chicago, by a group of saints, to speak. Some great Pentecostal minister there with about four degrees in college, and so forth, and he didn't want my little chee-chocker way of speaking up there before that great council they was going to have, so he had a man from a great Bible school there, to come up, great Bible school of Chicago, to make the speech. And the man said now what he would do, "Come up there and belittle those people, for about everything he could think of, of how wrong they was by believing there was a Holy Ghost and all that stuff like that," before Pentecostal people. He walked up there with his chest out, and a--a collar turned around, like a tuxedo suit on, throwed all of his notes out upon the platform. He had it so masterly fixed till he could just explain the Bible, and God didn't know nothing about It.

L-127   And the first thing you know, you... He see it didn't take with the people. He kept saying something another like that, and they just set and looked at one another. It didn't go with them kind of people, them Pentecostals. So after a while he seen he was defeated, and he got his stuff up under his arm, walked off the platform, his head down, drooping. An old saint setting over at the wall, said, "If he would have went up the way he come down, he would have come down the way he went up." And that's just about the way it is, too.

L-128 Humble yourself, see how little you can be; not what you know, what you don't know. Let yourself get humble before God.
Now we find, thirdly, He could fly with the other two wings.

L-129   Now watch, first, He, in the Presence of God, He was reverent, with His face covered. Secondly, He was humble before God, with His feet covered. And His next two wings, He could fly, put Him in action. Oh, my!

L-130 What was God doing? He was showing the prophet how His prepared servant should be. The God was showing, "These are My servants. These are Mine. Look how they are prepared; reverent, humble, and in action." That's way God's servants are. Oh, my!

L-131 That's the way we should be: reverent to God's Word, humble, and in action for God.

L-132   Like the woman when she was called into action, come, when she said, "Come, see a Man Who has told me what I've done."

L-133 His sign influenced her, that He was the Messiah. She said, "Sir, we know, when the Messiah is coming... Now, You must be a prophet. We know, when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things."

L-134 See, she expected Him to say, "Well, the Messiah is coming pretty soon; I'm just forerunning Him." But He said, "I am He."

L-135 That put her in action right now. She went into action. You couldn't stop her. It was like a house on fire, as I said the other night, in a high wind. You couldn't stop her. Down into the city she went, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?" See? She was in action.
What did she do? She come up, first, humbled herself.
"Bring Me a drink."

L-136 Said, "Why, our fathers drank from this well," and so forth. And--and she...
