17. And so, that's the way it is tonight, those who desire to see God must come with a perfect heart, with all strange feelings set aside, with all malice towards their neighbor set aside, with all malice towards other churches, and other individuals, and forms of worship. You must come with that perfect heart. "Could I see You, Lord Jesus? Now, I'm...?... take all my superstitions away, and I am going to seek tonight, to see the Lord Jesus." Now, I hope that your intention, every one of you.
And I believe, that if you come with that kind of an intention, that God is under obligation to reveal Himself to you. Don't you believe that? That God is under obligation to reveal Himself to you here tonight.
18. Now, it wouldn't be any strange thing to people, if we talked about the Lord Jesus after His promise said that He would reveal Himself to us. Couldn't we see Him?
Someone said not long ago, a little boy, he was away to a school. And he asked his preacher; he said, "Could anybody see God?" And the little... The preacher said, "Why, no one could see God." Said, "The Bible says that no can see God and live."
And then another one... He went to his Sunday school teacher, and his Sunday school teacher said, "Why, certainly not, sonny, no one could see God and live." And everyone was discouraging telling that no one could see God.
One day, while he was down on the river, he was with an old fisherman. And the old fisherman was pulling his boat and weeping because he was looking at a rainbow.
He said, "Sir, can anyone see God?"
The old fisherman must be so full of God, until he said, "Sonny, all I've seen in the past thirty-five years, has been God."
19. Now, if we become so filled with God, and so immuned from the things of the world, we can see God in every act in every move of life. Don't you believe that? If we set aside all the things of the world... Sometimes we come to church, for instance, to a meeting like this, say, "Now, I'm going down there. I don't believe in no such stuff as that. I don't believe it, and I'm going down there, because I'm going to prove to myself there's nothing to it." Well, that's just the way you'll return, the same way. You'll say, "Well..." Because Satan will show you many things that there is--and he will tell you there's nothing to it. But now, if you go with the intention to find God or to know of God, God will reveal Himself to you, because He's under obligation to do so. That's exactly right, and He will do it.
