<TITLE>11. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 One of the greatest scientist lecturing, he said, "How did you come..."
They said, "How did you know so much about science."
He said, "You know how I learned it? I set down in the presence of Mother Nature and just opened up my arms to her, and she opened up my heart and told me about it."
Now, that's the way you have to do Christ. Just set down by the side of the Gospel, open up your heart to Christ. He will talk to you. Nature will... God will talk back to you.

L-39 Moses turned aside to see what this strange thing was. Now, he never said, "I'll take a few of the leaves, and go down to the laboratory, and have them examined by the chemist to find out why." See? He wasn't curious like that. He just simply set down, and turned aside, and watched the sight: a fire burning, strange fire. And when he did, God spoke to him and said, "Moses, take off your shoes, for the ground you're standing on is holy ground."
Now, what if Moses said, "Lord, just a little bit of trouble for me to do that, so I'll just take off my hat." God didn't say take off your hat; He said, "Take off your shoes."
And many people say, "Well, I'll just join church."
That isn't what Christ said. "Ye must be borned again." See? Not how much you join church, but you got to be borned again.
And Moses took off his shoes and came up in reverence. That's the way you have to approach God: in reverence, not curious, but laying aside every weight, every doubt, and come up reverently and say, "Lord, what would You have Your servant do?" Approach Him reverently.

L-40 It wasn't an easy thing that night, sitting in the building, away back there in a little fish camp, when I'd just seen the vision since I was a boy. Then coming on up and seeing the whirlwinds... But when I heard that walking on the floor... Not a vision, no, sir, I know what a vision is. Surely. But this wasn't a vision. The Man was standing there. I heard Him walking, walked up to where I was, had His hands folded. I was scared to death. I grabbed my thumb, begin to bite on my nail. He said, "Do not fear."
I knew that was the same Voice that spoke to me since I was a little boy, but first time I ever seen Him in form of a man. He said, "I been sent from Almighty God to tell you you're to go to pray for sick people," then revealed what would take place.
That settled it for me. And when they told me I was going to lose my mind if I went and did that, I didn't pay any attention to them because I'd come to Him reverently. No matter what people say. What God says and people says is two different things. You listen to people, you'll be in all kinds of condition. But you listen to God, you'll be a Christian.

L-41 And when he walked up reverently, took off his shoes, God told him, said, "I've seen the affliction of My people. I've heard their groans and moans, and I'm come down to deliver them. And I want you (the one that made a failure forty years ago), I want you to go right back and backtrack yourself. I'm sending you right down."
"Oh," Moses said, "I--I can't talk very good, Lord." Said, "I--I'm kinda slow of speech." He said, "I--I just can't do it."
He said, "Who made the mouth of man?" And begin to really comb Moses down, that's the way God does. Brother, He shakes you down. Have to build up again.
That's the way the people today, you don't like to get broke up. You got to be broke up before you can be remade. The prophet went down to the potter's house to get broke up, to get on the wheel and spun out something different. If you're a sinner, get on the Wheel. God will break you up, mold you different, shape your life up different, shape your home life different.
