45. John Sproule, who was healed with a throat that could not speak--which alarmed the nation, to the magazine... I was talking to him some time ago, and he said, "I was in Paris, and I was taking the tour around, seeing the religious sights and so forth, and I come into this certain garden." And he said, "There was a statue of Christ." And said, "I was looking at it." and said, "My wife was looking at it. And we were criticizing it in our heart, because it didn't have any, really, look to it, that would look like the sufferings of Christ."
And said, "The guide came to me," and he said, 'Sir, you're probably doing just like all the rest of the tourists that come here. You're wondering why the sculpture ever made that statue like that?'"
He said, "Yes, sir, I was."
He said, "Come here, just a moment." He said, "You see there is a--a kneeling rail beneath the statue."
Said, "Yes, sir."
Said, "That's an altar." Said, "Now, you come here and get down on your knees." And he did. Said, "Now, look up..."
And when he looked up, he said his heart almost failed him for the--the--the sufferings of Christ was seen in the sculpture's work. And he said, "Sir, do you see the sculpture had in mind, that Christ is to be knelt and looked up to. That's the way he made it. Not to stand off... You'll criticize. But if you'll get down and look up to it, then you'll see the full purpose."
46. And before you criticize the Holy Spirit and God's Word, It wasn't made to be criticized; neither was the Holy Spirit. Kneel on your knees and look up to It, and you'll think different. And God will bless you.
