<TITLE>14. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 How many knows that you can--you could send your soul to hell with a Divine gift? Sure, you can. You have to watch what you're doing. How many believe Moses was God's prophet? Say, "Amen." He was God's prophet, but do you know what he done? God told him to go down there and speak to the rock. The rock was already smitten. Is that right? Instead of Moses doing what God told him to do, he went down and smote the rock again. Is that right?
Well, that absolutely broke the entire Scripture right in two, right there. Christ wasn't smitten twice. He was smitten once. We just speak to Him from now on. Is that right?
But when Moses smote the rock, that broke God's complete program and it was--he had done exactly what God told him not to do. See? But he could do it anyhow, whether it was God's will or not. That seems strange, doesn't it? But it wasn't God's will, but he was a prophet. He could do whatever he wished and what his power would permit him to do.
But what did God do then? He dealt with Moses and kept him from going over in the promised land. Is that right? Took him upon a hill and said, "Here it is." Let him look at the promised land, passed him out, let the Angels come take him away and bury him.

L-56 You have to... Look at Elijah. That young prophet was bald-headed, and them little children teasing him about being bald-headed. Said, "Thou bald head. Thou bald head. Why didn't..."
You know what he said? That prophet turned around and put--cursed those children and said, "Cursed be," I suppose in the Name of the Lord, and before those little children returned into the city, two she bears killed forty-two of them little innocent children. Is that Scripture? Poor little innocent children, but an angered prophet. Better be careful what you're doing. See? That's right.
So that's the way it is here. I want to see what you're doing before you put a curse a disease... What if God had put something on a person, or permitted Satan to do it, and you and I would come around with a Divine gift and take it off before God's will was accomplished? Then God will deal with me. See? Have to be careful.

L-57 Now, I want you to know to look at--the person telling them to look I'm asking them so I can attract their attention. See? Look at me. Believe me. Do this because I'm representing God to you.
Now, I want you to do that. Like the woman at the well, Jesus said, "Bring Me a drink," and got to talking to her. That's the same way I do you, is just see what God will say. Until His Spirit comes, I'm just as your husband would be or anyone else. I have nothing at all that I can do. There's nothing that I could say or anything. I just--I just have to let Him do it.
We're strangers to one another, and I don't know you, but God knows you. He knows you, and I know you're a Christian, because if you wasn't it would be turning dark around you, but instead it's light.

L-58 But say, you just been healed. You was healed. You've been healed in this meeting of arthritis or something had it and you's healed.
But I--I see someone away. That--you--you received a letter from somebody. Isn't that right? And that letter was from Indiana, my home state, and it was about a woman, a friend of yours, who has a... It's a woman that's got a heart trouble, and she's got something to do about church or some... No, it's a preacher's wife, that's what it is... It's a preacher's wife. Isn't that true? And that woman has been in my meetings. I see it crowded, but she couldn't obtain a prayer card, and she's wrote to you to give you to come and stand for her. Amen. That truth?
