<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>53-0216, My Angel Shall Go Before Thee, Pentecostal Holiness Church, Tallahassee, FL, no tape
L-1 Good evening friends. Very happy to be [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... both coming up and going back, so I--I thought, well, there that our room would be a little short, but we're happy. You know, some of our most spiritual gatherings has been where two or three are gathered together, He's there. I'm sure that most all Christians can refer back in some manner to sometime when we had just a little group, just a little cottage prayer meeting of some sort. It's where I some of my most blessed times, when the Holy Spirit would really come into our midst and bless us when we had little small meetings. He has made that promise that the smallest of church, "two or three gather in My Name I'll be in their midst."

L-2 I wish to read a portion of Scripture tonight, then we'll start and pray for the people, because they're just a small group of us like this we ought to immediately come into the realm of God's healing grace and power and make us well. He promised to do it, and there's hardly anything that He hasn't left undone to do to reveal His will and His favor to us, so we just have to believe Him. Is that right?
I wish to read a portion of Scripture tonight in 23rd chapter of Exodus, beginning with the 20th verse. It's always been a very favorite spot for me. Said...
But behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him... obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions, for my name is in him.
But if thou will indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then will I be and enemy to thy enemies, and an adversary to thy adversaries.
For my Angel shall go before thee,...
Now, for a thought for a few moments I wish to take that last part, or the first part of the phrase of the last verse, "My Angel Shall Go Before Thee."

L-3 God in all ages has had someone to deal with here on earth. Ever since He's had an earth, He started, has never was a time but what He was--He had someone that He could His hands on to send them. And during this time that we're speaking of here I just read on, was He had sent Moses to deliver the children of Israel.
Now, it was not Moses that was sent. Moses was just the instrument. Now, in my heart I have--believe that God has always been the same. All through the ages, in every age He's been just as He was at the beginning. He was manifested in the Fatherhood; He was manifested in the Sonship. He's manifested now in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit.
We're living not in the Christian dispensation, but in the Holy Spirit dispensation. It's the--the Acts of Holy Spirit in the church, the church reactions to what the Holy Spirit is in them. Marvelous day we're living in, greatest time of all ages. We're now living just at the closing of scene of this world's activities and fixing to enter into that great age that we've all looked for so long, the Hebrew prophets had spoke of through the day.

L-4 And God always has had someone He could put His hands on. Now, Moses was borned a proper child. And God ordained that he should bring the--Israel out under his leadership. And before he went down into Egypt after he was called when he was on the desert that morning herding Jethro's sheep, his father-in-law, he saw a bush a burning. Now, I believe that was the first appearance of the Angel of the Lord. He was in this burning bush. And then when He commissioned Moses and told him what he was to do, He went before Him down into Egypt. And when they came out, He was in a form of a Fire again, a Pillar of Fire. And this Pillar of Fire led the children of Israel, which was the same Angel that was in the burning bush; that was the same Pillar of Fire that was in that burning bush.
