<TITLE>07. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 And a few days before I come up here, they told me that the doctor said, "There's not even a need for an operation on that man's arm." God had healed him. God's able, and will keep His Word, when God's took at His Word. The secret is, take Him at His Word, if you believe it. Every man that's ever amounted to anything, is been people who has took God at His Word. Do you believe that?
Moses back there one time, how could he ever go down and make an invasion in Egypt? There he was standing out on the desert, and he said, "Lord, I'm a man of slow speech." He had an impediment. He said, "I can't speak." He begin to make all kind of excuses. But when God got through talking to him and showing him His glory, at God's Word, he took off to Egypt.

L-24 Could you imagine--wasn't that a funny looking sight that day? A man taking God at His Word, an old man, eighty years old... Now, here's something for your skeptic. That man was eighty years old, white beard hanging way down, long white hair hanging down his back, little old skinny body, a man eighty years old. And here he come down across the desert with a crooked stick in his hand and a wife setting straddle of a little old mule with a kid on each hip, "Where you going, Moses?"
"Down to Egypt to take over."
A one man invasion, going down... Why? He had taken God at His Word. That's right. "How do you know Moses, you're going to take over?"
"God's done told me so, and I'm going down to take over."

L-25 Why, that mechanized units that they had down there in Egypt, it was the greatest city in the world at that time, or the greatest nation, had the world whipped down, chariots and horsemen. And here went an old man leading a mule with his wife and two kiddies, and with a long white beard and stick in his hand, going down to take the whole thing over. And he did it. Amen.
God says anything, He means it. "How do you know you're going to do it, Moses?"
"God said so; that settles it." Amen. I like that: men who will take God's Word.

L-26 One time there's a little boy, had a sandwich in his hand, few little bunches of fish. There was a whole, about five thousand people setting around. Jesus setting on a rock, had been talking to the people. Maybe the little boy had played hooky, all I know, we call it in Indiana hooky, truant, ever-what you want to call it. He went out fishing maybe, and he seen that Man; there's something about Him; he like to hear Him talk. Little bitty fellow, he comes up with this little lunch under his arm, why, the people's so hungry they was about to faint. Said, "You got anything to eat?"
Said, "There's a little lad here with five little sandwiches."
Said, "Bring him here."

L-27 My, I can imagine seeing that, just in a drama way I can draw it in my mind. I can see the little fellow... Now, as long as the little boy had, what he had wasn't very much, he could hardly feed himself with that. But once what he had he gave to Jesus, Jesus fed five thousand.
You may not have very much, but turn it loose once; let Him have what you got. If you got that much faith, put it in Him. Turn it loose and see what it'll do. As long as it's in his hand it wasn't much, but when it got in here, Jesus' hand, it meant something. It would only feed him here, it hardly do that. But it fed five thousand, taken up baskets full afterwards. Hallelujah. My, when I think of that, my soul shakes and trembles. God at His Word...
He said, "Cause them all to set down."
I can see Him look down at the little boy, said, "You believe I can do it?"
He said, "Yes, Jesus, I'm standing right by You. I believe You can do it."
