<TITLE>12. Par 42-46</TITLE>L-42 Notice. Moses said, "Lord, I can't go."
But God was determined that he was going. And He said, "Moses, you must go."
And he said, "Show me Your glory, Lord."
And notice. God told Moses, said, "What's that in your hand?"
He said, "It's a stick, or a rod," just an old, dry stick off the desert, where he'd walked along like this with it in his hand.
That may be all that he had was a stick. Maybe you haven't even got that much, but whatever you got, give it to God. Look what he did with that stick.

L-43 That was the same kind of a pole that the serpent... It was made out of here, was made in the wilderness, representing Christ. He threw it down and it turned into a snake: judgment, already, past judgment, the serpent, from the garden of Eden, already judged. Picked it up by the tail, and it become again a stick. Put his hand in his bosom, turned leprosy; took it out; put it back in again, and it was clean when he took it out again.
Then surely... He had wanted to see God's glory. Divine healing is included in the glory of God. He healed him.
Another thing, showing that the heart is deceitful, full of leprosy. And the--the hand that sways the power, God's power rod, has to be clean, made Divinely clean. And he put his hand in his bosom, it was healed with leprosy, took it out and he could yield the stick then.
Then he seen His glory. After he seen His glory, he didn't care how many critics or anything else, he was on his way to Egypt.
And any man or any woman, not standing off from a critical condition, but will accept the unadultered Word of God and believe it in your heart, all devils out of hell can't upset you then. Certainly not.

L-44 John Sproule, a friend of mine, not long ago was telling me he was down at Alsace Lorraine, and was going through a great garden there. There was a statue of Christ. And he and his wife was standing off looking at it. He was criticizing it; there was nothing there look like the suffering of Christ. And the man said to him, the guide, said, "Sir, are you criticizing that--that statue?"
He said, "Yes."
Said, "You're looking at it wrong." He said, "Come here. See this altar? Get down on your knees, and look up now."
And said, when he looked up, his heart would break. The sculptor had made it so that when you... You don't stand off and look at like this; you have to get down and look up to it to really see what it looks like.

L-45 And that's the way God wrote His Word, not to stand off from a high-pointed, psychological, educational standpoint, and say, "Oh, I don't know. The days of miracles, oh, I don't know whether it's really right or not."
God doesn't write His Word for that. Get down on your knees, and look up through the promise, through the Blood of the Lord Jesus. It'll look a lot different to you when you come that way. It isn't to be criticized and say, "And these things was, and this won't be." But the Bible said Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever in every principle, every power. On your knees and look up that way, then it'll look different to you.
Things looked different to Moses. He'd had a vision. The vision changed his life. If you ever get a vision of the living God, it'll change your life, if you can ever once see really what He is.

L-46 And how that man and women... And I say this with reverence, but knowing that someday... I must be firm now, for I've got to meet every individual that I preach to at the judgment bar of God. And there I'd rather be--you'd be a little angry with me here and love me there, than to know at that day you'd say, "You deceiver, you knowed different and you wouldn't tell me." I'd rather tell you the truth.
Man has got to receive Christ as a personal Saviour and be borned again and filled with the Holy Spirit to ever get into God and know anything about Him. If it's not, it's an educational standpoint.
