E-70 You don't seek God; God seeks
you. You said, "I sought and sought." No,
no. It was God seeking you. Just you
wouldn't turn loose; that's all. See? That's
all. God seeks man, not man seeking
God. The very nature of man showed in
the garden of Eden. When he sinned,
instead of coming out and confessing it,
he run.?
*WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS
VICTORIA.BC FRIDAY_ 62-0727
It wasn't Adam running through the
garden hollering," God, God, where are
You?" It was God saying, "Adam, Adam,
where art thou?" See? Same thing today.
See? It's God seeking man. "No man can
come unless My Father draws him first."
See
* WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS
VICTORIA.BC FRIDAY_ 62-0727
E-34 Now, notice. Then when you get that,
what God said to Abraham... He called
Abraham, and if you ever was called, it
wasn't you doing the seeking; it was God
sought you. And by God's grace He saved
you, not because you did something, not
because that you're worthy of it, but
because God's grace to you did it. Everybody
understand that say, "Amen." [Congregation
says, "Amen"--Ed.] Now, we're getting
started.

E-4 The first place, we should find out
what faith is. The Bible says that faith is
the substance of things hoped for; and it
is the evidence of things not seen. This
little word "faith" gets mixed up, lot of
times, with "hope," and "hope," "faith."
They are just as much difference as day
is from night.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
Faith is the substance and hope is what
you're hoping for, faith delivers. Faith,
being the substance of things hoped for,
then it would not be just a thought. It
would not be a thought; it is a
substance. Now, a substance is
something that you can--you have.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
E-5 Now, the human body is controlled
by five senses: see, taste, feel, smell,
hear. But faith is the sixth sense. Faith
is something that you do not feel, taste,
see, smell, or hear. For instance, there's
a lady setting here at the organ. Would
you just give us a little chord of some
familiar hymn, just a little chord.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
The old saying has been, "Seeing is
believing." How many's ever heard that
remark? There's music playing. How many
believes it? Well, how many seen it?
Thank you. Music was playing and you
never saw it; then seeing is not
believing. I believe it just as much as if-if I saw it.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
E-6 All right. I want you to come here,
sir, the usher. There is a man standing
before me with a brown coat on; kind of
a purple looking shirt; he has dark hair;
brown trousers. How many believes that?
I see him. My sense of sight is the only
thing that declares that he's there. Just a
little closer. Now I do not see him, but
he's still there.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
Would you like to argue with me that he
isn't there? You'd have a hard time
convincing me. But I know he's there just
the same as if I was looking at him,
because I have another sense and that is
feeling. It's just as active as sight is. I
know it; they didn't change men on me.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
You know why? He had a wrist watch on
his left hand and there it is. See? I saw it
with my eyes, now I feeled it with my
hand. So it is not an evidence that you
cannot... Or the sight evidence is not the
only evidence that there is. Thank you,
sir.
* FAITH.BY.EXPERIENCE
MIDDLETOWN.OH TUESDAY_ 58-0325
E-3 The outside man is governed by five
senses: see, taste, feel, smell and hear.
The inside man is governed by two
senses: either faith or unbelief. If you
believe it, it's just as real to you as if any
of the natural senses of the body declare
it. And truly, these senses of the body
can be fooled, but faith is absolutely
infallible.
* TAKING.GOD.AT.HIS.WORD
OWENSBORO.KY TUESDAY_ 53-1103
57 And the super Sense is the Holy
Spirit, the faith of God that dwells in
you. And if you'll let the five senses be
yielded to the sixth sense, it'll guide you
and bring all the other five senses under
control of that super sense. For it's so far
above the natural sense, as the spiritual
man is above the natural; it's as far and
as high as the heavens is above the
natural man and his five senses.
* A.SUPER.SENSE
JEFF.IN V-20 N-7 SUNDAY_ 59-1227E
It makes you believe things that you
cannot see. It makes you act where you
do not think the five senses would ever
think about it. The devil can get into
these five senses and lie to you, but he
cannot touch that super sense. That's
far beyond his reach. That come from
God. It's called faith. Faith is that great
thing.

will have to go beyond any five senses,
he will have to go on any education, any
achievement that man's been able to do,

lay it aside, and sweep up into the

112 "I got the baptism, the Holy Spirit."
That still has nothing to do with it. That's
just only a temporal gift for you. The
real gift is your soul down in there,
see, that was born of God, and that
controls the whole thing to the Word of
God and the will of God. And there you
grow up, see, then you're a son and
daughter of God.

72 Like you women claiming you got Holy
Ghost, and going out here and wearing
shorts and things, how could you do it?
How could the Spirit of God in you ever
let you do such a thing as that? It just
can't be so. Certainly, it can't be. He's
not a filthy spirit; He's a holy Spirit.
* WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC
JEFF.IN V-5 N-10 SUNDAY_ 65-0221E
73 And then when you become subject to
that Spirit, it throws your whole being
subject to that Spirit. And that Spirit is
nothing in the world but this Seed
Word made manifest, or quickened,
hallelujah, made alive. And when the
Bible said, "Don't do this," that body
quickly turns to It. There is no
question.
* WHO.IS.THIS.MELCHISEDEC

100 Notice, we find today that people... There's
many people just can't believe It, even Spiritfilled people. I'm going to give you one that'll
choke you. The baptism of the Holy Ghost don't
mean you're going in, not at all, not on that,
don't have anything to do with your soul.
That's the baptism, see. Remember, in that spirit
you can be baptized with the genuine Spirit of
God and still be lost. It's the soul that lives,
that was ordained of God.

E-12 You, would you like to know what I
think the greatest need of the church
today? Would you like... What I think...
Where I think the lacking is? Is a no soul
travail. The people are not broke up
enough. They're... There--there's no
burden seemingly.

And you give me someone that's just so
tore up about lost souls that they just
cry and are--are wanting a revival so bad
till they can hardly eat, just simply can't.
If you'll read the history of the world and
the religious history, you'll find out it
always taken that kind of a spirit to bring
a revival.
* THE.INSIDE.MAN

That's right. See? When Zion travailed or

74 We know it is true that God will meet
a desperate soul. Now, we all know
that. But it usually takes something to
drive us into that, to that despair, to the
desperation. It takes something to do it.
We find out, in James 5:15, that the
Bible said that. "The effectual fervent,"
that's desperation, "effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
*DESPERATIONS
JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E
When a righteous man, a good man, gets
in travail," or soul travel, or travail,
either one. I--I think "travel" is a better
word. Travail, or travel, either which one
you want to call it. But when a--a--a soul
gets in--in desperation, in travailing, an
effectual fervent prayer of a man that
can show the Token, it does something.
See?
* DESPERATIONS
JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E
E-36 Little, old fellow, one time, didn't
have much of an experience, yet, he just
knowed he was an Israelite. His name
was Shamgar. He was found over in
Judges. Very little is knowed about him,
a little--little, bitty verse like that. Little
Shamgar had perhaps raised a good crop
that year and the year before the
Philistines come right in and get it.
* DESPERATIONS
JEFF.IN V-4 N-1 SUNDAY_ 63-0901E
And his wife and kiddies standing around;
said, "Well, maybe we can eat this
winter. What's that coming?" Listens,
coming up the road. "What is it?" Tromp,

Philistines, armed men coming. "My, my.

people: His righteous indignation got
up. You know what I mean, yes.
E-39 Old Shamgar stood there and his
righteous indignation got up, and here
they was, tromp, tromp, big, heavy

E-82 Shamgar got enough of it. He said,
"I am convinced that He's God. I am
concerned with my family." You know
what he did? He taken that ox-goad,
and jumped out there in the middle of
the road, and slew six hundred
Philistines.
* CONVINCED.THEN.CONCERNED
TEMPE.AZ THURSDAY_ 62-0118
You know what an ox-goad is? Why, it's a
stick about, oh, I guess about six, seven
foot long, maybe not that long, with a
little piece of brass on the end of it, or
something, or iron. And that one little
Jew...
He never only routed, but he slew.
Amen. How did that stick hold up? The
first rap he took across a Philistine's head
with armor on about like that, that oxgoad went in fifty pieces.
* CONVINCED.THEN.CONCERNED
TEMPE.AZ THURSDAY_ 62-0118
But he knocked one one way, and one
the other, like that, until he knocked the
whole bunch of them down and killed
them. Why? Because he was convinced.
Amen. And he was concerned. A man
would fight for his family like that, under
circumstances like that, what ought the
church of the living God to fight with the
baptism? Shamgar had a ox-goad. You've
got the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Oh,

she was drunk.

She was in such desperation! With the
rest of the women watching what kind of
a bonnet the other one had wore; and
