<TITLE>05. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Now, we think of Moses, when Moses in a burning bush, this sheepherder, one morning walking along the old path where he'd walked many times, and there he was attracted by a burning bush. Come to find out, the Angel of the Lord was in this bush. And now, He speaks to Moses. Moses had been a bitter failure, for yet knowing that God was going to deliver the children of Israel by him, yet trying to do it within himself forty years before that, become a failure and had lost all the vision of victory and of freedom for the people enslaved.
And I just wonder, sometimes, if we, the church, knowing that God is promised to deliver the church from it's sin, and from it's sickness, and to make us a people, a salty people that the earth will hunger and thirst after, I wonder, in our human efforts, in our theologies, and so forth, and our great fine buildings, and so forth, that as we tried to present to the people many years ago, and we found that it had failed, because we took it in ourselves to do so. We took it upon ourselves to have new schools, to educate our ministers, and so forth. We left off the real principle, the real thing that God told us to receive, was let the Holy Spirit lead the church. We've left that off, and as--we've lost our Divine joy. We have--the vision is dull now.
People are not looking for the coming of the Lord, and yet atomic bombs hanging in hangars everywhere, and things that would destroy the world at once. But people has lost their vision of the Lord, because they have set times, that the Lord would come at a certain time. And they've done all these things, trying to do it within themselves. We must turn loose and let God do these things. How can we do those things without the Holy Spirit?
And now, Moses had been a bitter failure, but out there now, we see his attention attracted to a burning bush. And he looks to the burning bush to find out what the trouble was. And walking close to it... Fire usually brings an attraction. Usually the Holy Spirit when It comes in a manner of fire, attracts the attention of people. And when Moses turned aside to consider this burning tree that would not burn up, God spoke to him a fresh vision by an Angel.

L-13 Now, watch faith take a hold, right quick. The old things are passed away, but Moses now has a new vision. He has a revelation. He has an experience. He had met God. He had talked to God. Before that, he had not met God, he'd only read and knowed what his mother had told him by--by hearing what his mother had said or hearing what the pastor had said. But now, Moses has a personal experience.
That's what the church needs tonight, is just stop studying so much theology, and get down to the altar, and pray until a personal experience burns down into the human heart, and burns out all the dullness, and gives a new vision.

L-14 Moses, now, was experienced. He had witnessed the power of the Lord God. He had witnessed it in both in Divine healing; his hand was smitten with leprosy. He put it into his bosom, and pulled it out, and it was healed. He knew that God was the Healer, and God was with him, and had personally revealed Himself to him.
That's the way that the Holy Spirit would come on this apostle who said, "Such as I have." That's what we need tonight, an experience, personal with God.
Moses got the personal experience; now, watch faith jump in. Watch the difference in Moses now. Away he goes to Egypt, a one man invasion, going down to take over, nothing in his hand but a dry stick, but he went down to do it and accomplished what God told him to, because he had a fresh vision from God.
If anything the Church needs tonight, and what we're trying to do, friends, is to bring a fresh vision from the Presence of God to let the people see, that God still lives and reign and moving with His church, and He will until Jesus comes to receive it. A vision, a experience...
