<TITLE>07. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 Now, Moses, when he was just a born baby, just... It was a great threat in Egypt; they was killing all the male children. And right in that time Moses was born, and the mother seeing him to be a fair child wasn't afraid of--of Pharaoh's threats of what he was doing with all the children.
Now, if you'll see friends, to begin with I want you to get this real close. To begin with, that gifts and callings are without repentance. That's what causes the trouble. See? Don't try to impersonate anything; just be what you are in the Kingdom of God. If you're a finger, be a finger. If you're a nose, be a nose, eye, be an eye. I hope my finger never decides not to be a finger, because it's not an eye. It would certainly put me out of operation for awhile. So that's the way we must all get our positions and move on. But the whole group together is a body of the Lord Jesus Christ, no matter what it is.

L-21 Now, show that gifts and callings are without repentance. Look at Jesus, He was the woman's Seed from the garden of Eden. He was born the Son of God. Moses, he was a fair child when he was born, and borned to be a deliverer. He couldn't help being a prophet. God made him that at his birth.
Look at John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born; he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness.
Look at Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:4, I believe. God told Jeremiah, said, "I knew you, and--and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet to the nations, before you was even conceived in your mother's womb." Now, you have to believe in predestination and foreordination. You just... It's there.
Gifts and callings are without repentance. That's what God has set in the church. I different little bit with my latter rain brethren there, on that of laying hands, administering spiritual gifts. I believe you got that wrong. See? But it's all right; we don't fall out over it, but I--I believe your wrong on there. See?

L-22 Paul and Timothy, they recognized that to be--Timothy, to be a minister and a gifted man. We do the same thing in the Baptist church and all the rest of them, when we see a man like that to lay hands on him. But not to give him a spiritual gift, but to give him the right hand of fellowship and blessing to minister with the gift that God has give him. That's just the difference. You see? And so if you try and give him a gift, that what man does (See?), and it'll never work. It sure hasn't been successful, and I don't think it ever will.
Now... but when God has did anything, it's different. Moses realized that he was Moses. God, how He preserved him and taken care of him. And then when he become aged, he thought the people would surely understand, be spiritual minded to understand.
Now, there's a part that I wish we had time if it wasn't so chilly to dwell on just for a few moments. The people failed to understand very much. And when he slew the Egyptian, thinking that people would understand, his own people, that he was sent to liberate them, but they did not understand. Now...
