But the trouble with the American people, we've seen it too much. It's too common to us now. An old sailor was coming from the sea one day, and he met a man going down, a poet who had wrote about the sea, but he had never seen it. And he said, "Where goest thou, my good man?"

He said, "I'm going to the sea." Said, "Oh, I've wrote of it, what I've read." Said, "Now, I'm going to learn of it." He said, "I'm going down to experience it. I've... Oh, and my heart is thrilled." He said, "I want to smell its briny waves. I want to see its licking in--waves in the air. I want to hear the gulls holler, and see the blue skies reflect themselves in its water, in its whitecaps as it dances." He was a poet, so he could really express it.

And the old sailor said, "I don't see nothing so thrilling about it." Said, "I was borned on it, more than forty years ago."

See, he'd seen it so much, till it become common to him. That's what's the matter with the Full Gospel people. But the hour will soon come where you'll cry for It, and then won't see It. Let It never become old to you. Let not the Holy Spirit ever become old to you. May it always be fresh and new.
