I think that that's the way God feels

And I think it’s when we can get together with this type of fellowship, it does something to us, that draws us closer to each other. And as we get closer to each other, we also get closer to God, for Jesus said, “Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these My little ones, you have done it to Me.”

I’ve got a little boy in here somewhere, I suppose, Joseph. I got Billy setting here. Two daughters setting back there, and a wife. Now if anybody had something that was…you wanted to do real nice, I would much rather you would do it to my children than to do it to me. And so I feel maybe, as a parent…And He’s the source of parenthood. I think that that’s the way God feels. If we should…We serve Him as we serve each other. That’s how we serve God.

Then our thoughts are His thoughts

He will do it if we’ll completely surrender ourselves to Him. If we will completely deliver ourselves into His hand, then God can live in us. Christ, the Hope of Glory, He can reflect Himself from us as we get ourselves out of the way. Then our thoughts are His thoughts. Could you imagine Christ smoking a cigar? Could you imagine Christ drinking, or playing cards? Then if your spirit is part of His Spirit, He wants it to be upon your confession. But you permit the devil to come in and take over. And all the time, in your heart, way down deep, you know you’re wrong when you do those things.

And when a one member would talk against the other member, you know that’s wrong. You are commanded to pray for one another, not to talk against one another, but to love one another. And if someone is down, let’s pick him up, help him. Now, that makes us a—a—a unified group of believers. Now, when we don’t obey that, then we don’t obey God and we displease God. And therefore, our church, our people cannot prosper, the church cannot go on, is because we are disunified, together. As Jesus said, “A little leaven leavens the lump.”

Where art thou?

When God knew that—that shocking state of emergency… I suppose the first-ever came to heaven, was when He heard that His children was lost. And He came frantically; up-and-down through the garden He went, looking under every bush.

“Adam! Oh, My son Adam, where art thou?”

There stood Adam and Eve with their fig leaves sewed together, behind a bush. Father going back and forth, screaming, “Where are you? Where are you?”… That same God goes up-and-down the aisles night after night, screaming the same thing. “Where art thou? Where art thou?” And He finds Adam and Eve the same way, with some sort of a creed that they have, or denomination they’re—they are depending on to save them, hiding yet behind some man-made theology, when God made a preparation for you when He gave His Son to die in your stead. You must—got to be borned again. Creeds won’t work; that conference is held at some society. But God’s conference is held in Eden to take care of your sins. And there was one held at Calvary (that we’ll get to later) to take care of your sins, and the sin problem, your sickness and all that will ever happen to you, the… It’s already been studied out; preparations have been made. Just the only thing we have to do is come to God, and reason it out, and say, “Lord, I—I didn’t mean to do it.” Provision’s already made for it.
