man talks about he has got an education, I know that is just how far he is from God. A doctors degree (not saying this against Dr. Vayle, because he isnt that type) but usually, when a man gets a doctors degree; that just means to me hes that much farther from God-unless he can hold himself to the Word, and to God. 113 Now, we find out that some come to hear the way you speak. When they come to look-you talk about divine healing and the Lord. If a man isnt typical, an educated genius, the people just cant stand to hear him use words as his and haint, and words like that. They just...they dont...they just think that that is way away from God. And when Jesus spoke such simple language, until today, it has got the professors confused, for they try to interpret it according to the scholarships, and the language of that day, and it was street language. Therefore...Why, there is so much difference even here in our United States. I called from Florida to New York and had to get a woman over here at St. Louis to translate between this southern girl and the northern girl. That is how much difference there was. Certainly. 114 Now the thing of it is, that people look for those things-speeches instead of the Word. The Word being manifested is the evidence that it is right-the Word being manifested. They will never look at that. You have got to have an intellectual conception-to know. Go to the seminary and learn how to bow, how to stand in one place, and all-that would choke a minister to death that was really filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, that is intellectual. 115 That is the way this whole nation has got. Its got an intellectual conception of Christ. That is what they look for. And if Christ is in you, you have got to be a scholar; you have got to be an intellectual, because that is what they think Christ is. 116 And another thing, they form their own opinions what He ought to be-their own idea-instead of taking what the Word said. That is the way...when they look and even see Jesus Himself, they fail to recognize Him. They did it on the day of Pentecost. They did it when He was in flesh. They did it when He was in the manger. They did it when He was on the streets of Jerusalem. They did it when He was on the cross, and He was the fulfillment of that Word, and yet they had the Messiah coming down on a corridor out of heaven, and everything else, and was wrong, because it was their intellectual conception and they failed to see Him-and looking right at Him. 117 So is it today. What do you see when you look? Some look to seewhen they look at Him, they look to see some great intellectual church founder, somebody who can really produce a creed that will cause all the people to fall for this creed, something or other-that is what they look when they see Him. 118 Some look to see a myth, like Santa Claus when they look. They read the Bible and say, Oh, thats a mythical thing. Its just something that man wrote. That is what they...because what opinion you take of the Bible, is what you take of Him, see. 21 119 Some look to see a baby. Some look and see a rabbit, or a Santa Claus. Some look to see some historical book that was yesterday, and not today. But the question is: what do you see when you look? ISA45:22 120 So many of you, that claim to have the Holy Ghost, look and see the second person of a trinity, when it is not even mentioned in the Bible. Theres no such a thing. The word trinity is not even in the lids of the Bible. But yet when you look at Jesus, you regard Him as the third person, or the second person of a trinity. And that is the reason you dont get nowhere. You know what He said?-I am God, and there is none other besides me. 121 Depends on what you are looking at. If you want to put some little mascot boy, an old man with a beard, and so forth-if that is the way you look at Jesus as being some different person from God, you are looking wrong. You dont see it. 122 Here not long ago, I had a pair of field glasses. I was trying to watch some antelope, or an antelope over in the field, and my son was trying to show me. He is quite a bit younger. So he said, Take them glasses, Daddy, there stands an antelope right out there. I said, I can see him with my natural eye. 123 He said, Take these glasses. When I looked I seen about ten antelopes-but the glasses were out of focus. And when I went to focus them in, all ten of them become one. And if you will focus your mind to Gods Word, the three will be one. But your ecclesiastical glasses get out of focus when you try to make Him three. He is one. ISA45:22 124 But it depends on what you are looking at. What do you see when you do look? Remember, you can only see Him as you look at Him through the Word. You cant look at Him through a textbook. You cant look at Him through a creed. Youll see two or three gods, and everything else in them creeds. But look at Him through the Word, and youll see that He is Emmanuel-God made flesh among us. He said, I am God and besides me, there is none other. He is God. ISA9:6 125 Isaiah looked one time, (the prophet) and when he seen Jesus (my subject is: Looking To Jesus-Look Away To Jesus) when Isaiah looked away from the world to see Him he said, I see a Counsellor, a Prince of Peace, the mighty God, the everlasting Father. That is what Isaiah looked away and saw. DAN2:45 126 Daniel one time was standing when he saw the ending of the Gentile kingdoms. He saw the image that Nebuchadnezzar had dreamed. He saw how each one would succeed the other as they come down. And when he looked to see what was all going to happen at the end-when he saw Jesus-He was a stone, hewn out of the mountain without hands, that crushed the Gentile kingdoms. look away to Jesus Decemeber 29, 1963
