<TITLE>11. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 Notice, here comes Israel on the march. And now, they come up to the land of Moab and wanted to pass. And they had a prophet over in the land of Moab. And he was Balaam. Balak was the king. And Balak sent over to Moab to get the head official of the church. He said, "Come down and curse this people, that's coming up like a swarms out of Egypt, that they pass not through the land." He wouldn't let them go through the land. "Come down and put a curse on them."
And then notice, when this preacher started, the Holy Spirit told him quickly not to go, for he heard that there was all kinds of mix-up among them. They had married, intermarried, and everything else was--and the evils that they had, because they'd been down in the lands of heathens.

L-41 And Balak, being a... Or Balaam, rather, a--a great man, thought surely that a holy God like God, would curse such a people as that. But he failed to see the sign over Israel, God's a vindication: A smitten rock, and a brass serpent, making an atonement for their sins. And he comes down. And on his road down the Holy Spirit met him. And a mule spoke in unknown tongues and turned him--tried turn him back. God speaking through a mule, could you imagine, the mule, turn around speaking in English, or whatever, what voice, he was speaking to the prophet.
All right. See God's sign? Don't be blind. Have your eyes open. Pluck your soul a little bit.

L-42 Notice, and when he got down there... Here it is; here's the shocking part. When Balaam come down, being a fundamentalist, over on this side. Here's Israel over on this side, the vindicated ones, the fundamental one.
Now, notice, that Balaam was just as fundamental in his worship as Moses was. Balaam required seven altars. That's what God required Moses. He required seven clean sacrifices, bullocks, and not only that, but seven rams, rams speaking of their faith that Jesus was coming, the Lamb, the Ram, He-sheep. See? He put it... He's just as fundamental...

L-43 Now, it becomes to being fundamental, down there in the valley there stood Israel encamped. And they had their seven altars with seven sacrifices, same kind of sacrifices. Here's this, up here, another group up here: the same kind of altars, same kind of sacrifice, same kind of ceremony.
Brother, if God requires fundamentalism, then He's got to accept that man, just the same as He accepts that man. You talk to fundamentalists today, that don't believe in Divine healing. Talk to fundamentalists; they don't believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit with signs and wonders. Be careful how you talk to them. They say, "We believe in the death, burial and resurrection. We believe in the second coming of Christ." They preach it. And the nation has been whored with it. And evangelists has went everywhere preaching it. And they wonder why we can't have a revival. It's, brothers, because we're not preaching it in the right way. I'm nobody to say it. But I know what God's Word says is the truth. That's right.
