<TITLE>13. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 Notice, and when they started to cross into the... Their brother, Moab, which come back from Lot. Lot's daughter, living with her father, brought forth these boys, and through there come Moab. And notice, they wasn't infidels. They weren't communists. They come out there and they said, "No, we'll not let you bunch of fanatics pass through." They wasn't even a denomination; they were interdenominational. They didn't have no land they could call their own. Moab had its own land, but Israel was a pilgrim. Hallelujah.
We're pilgrims and we're strangers here,
We're seeking a city to come.
The lifeboat soon is coming, to carry His jewels home.
Wanderers about... As Paul said, "in sheep skins, goat skins... professing that they don't even know the world," passed from death unto life and become new creatures in Christ Jesus. And here they are, Israel the wanderer, wandering around in tents. And all these other big denominations all settled down, all their dignitaries and everything around them, their council, their bishops, and they--all their everything around where they were. But Israel was a wanderer, a cast out, made fun of; talked about. That's right. But he was still in the will of God. Amen.
Oh, I just... Excuse me, it's time for me to quit, but I... You'll just hold on just a minute, I want to get this out. It's just roaring around in my soul. I feel like I explode if I didn't...?... Notice... I don't say that's slangy, because I don't believe in using that in the church.

L-39 But look. Here they are. Moab comes out. He said, "You'll not come through here, because I'll put a... I'll just stop you right here at the gate. You're not going to have one of them kind of revivals in our country. We just won't cooperate with you at all." So they got him out there, and they said, "Now, how are we going to stop this bunch of fanatics coming through here?" So they went and got an old backslidden prophet, back there, by the name of Balaam. That's right. And he loved money more than he loved God. Yet, he had a gift; we know that; but he's money crazy. And the first thing you know, he said, "I'll give you so much money." And here he went. And a dumb mule had to speak in other tongues to rebuke him. That's exactly what the Bible said. The mule had more spiritual insight than what the prophet did.
And if God could use the mule for such things to rebuke a prophet, what about a man that's borned again? Amen. There you are. And this dumb mule turned around and spoke in human voice, and other tongues, and told him, "What's the matter with you anyhow?" rebuked him. But he still wanted that money. Here he goes right on down there.

L-40 Here stood Moab, the great man. And the first thing you know, he... Or Amalek, rather, and he stood out there. And he--or... I beg your pardon; it's Balaam. Balak stood out there with Balaam, and he said, "Now, come here. I want you to curse this people."
Balaam got ready to go out and put a curse on them. And so he built his sacrifices over here. And I want you to notice, he used the same sacrifice. Here he is up on the hill, Israel had to come this way. Now, there's no need of trying to stop them. God's done promised them; they're going over there. So there's no need of trying to stop them; they're on their road and nothing's going to stop them. You say, "There'll be a time when they'll make them bunch of holy-rollers..." Oh, no. King Nebuchadnezzar tried to burn it out of them. They tried to boil it out of John. It's still moving just the same, going on just the...
