<TITLE>05. Par 30-39</TITLE>L-30 "Well," he said, "I believe I'll go." So he went down to an old-fashion meeting where they was having a prayer meeting, and he really got under conviction, and give his heart to Christ.
Oh, the next day, this little Dutchman was enjoying himself. Every once in a while he would just walk through the building, with his hands up in the air, saying, "Praise be to God! Thank You, Lord Jesus!" and he attracted the attention to all, of all of them.

L-31 You see, he become an oddball to the whole line of meat cutters. And he would be cutting meat, and he'd start thinking about the Lord, and he'd start crying. He'd lay the knife down, and walk up-and-down the aisles, not hysterically, but just making love to Christ, saying, "Oh, how I love You, 'Yesus!'" You know, just walking back and forth.

L-32   And the boss came by and seen him do this, and as he went walking down, crying. And, the boss, he never noticed the boss; he was thinking about Jesus. And he started down, with his hands up in the air, and the tears rolling down his cheeks, saying, "O God, how I love You!"
And the boss said, "Heini, what in the world has happened to you?" He said, "Everybody in the--in the whole line is talking about it. What in the world has happened to you, Heini?"

L-33 The little Dutchman said, "Oh, boss!" He said, "Glory to God, I got saved!"
He said, "You got what?"
He said, "I got saved!" He said, "I went with Brother Troy here down to a little mission, and I--I got saved. And Jesus came into my heart, and I'm so full of love!"
He said, "You must have went down to that bunch of nuts."

L-34 He said, "Yeah!" Said, "Glory to God!" Said, "Thank God for the nuts!" He said, "You know, you take a automobile coming down the road, and you take all the nuts out of it, you ain't got nothing but a bunch of 'yunk!'"

L-35 Well, I don't know but what the little Dutchman was just about right. Take all the nuts out? The nuts is what holds it together. And I think that's what holds the church together sometime, holds civilization together.

L-36   Now, coming down from a visit at Prescott, a few days ago, I was looking at the desert and noticing how that out of Phoenix they have the Japanese Gardens, and they had flowers in there, beautiful flowers. Where, when I was a boy out there, I herded cattle down through those places. The cows, wasn't no grass, so they just lived on cactus beans and so forth.

L-37 And then I noticed that there has been a--a reproduction to the use of the desert. And in the desert we find that, the cactus and the flowers. And in my home there, or the home we are renting; Sister Larson, I think she was here this morning, I seen her. And she has a flower bed on the outside of--of the house; some dirt. Everything there is sand, so she had some dirt in a large flower bed on each side of the duplex. And every morning I have to get out and water those flowers. If I don't water them, they'll die. And they'll... And then, again, I have to get some spray and spray them, to keep the lice off of them; the bugs will eat them up.

L-38   And then you go just a little beyond that, thirty feet from that, there is some flowers growing, and out in the desert they're growing. And you could dig down twenty feet and it'd be like a powder keg; nothing in the world but just dust, and there is no water at all. And who sprays them? See?
These in the flower bed, if you fail to spray them and to water them, the termites or the bugs, lice, will eat them up. But the lice can't touch that one out there in the desert, and neither does he have to be babied and watered every day; he is a production of the creator. This is a hybrid reproduction.

L-39 And I think that, today, the reason Christianity has become, to the people, a nut; is because that we've got a bunch of reproductions and not genuine Christians, a bunch that has to be babied and sprayed, and in order to stay in the church.
