<TITLE>08. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 And the Lord God bless you now, while we bow our heads for a moment of prayer.
Lord Jesus, come now. If we sinned in any manner, forgive us. And I pray that Your great blessings will rest upon each and every one. We come under the care and the wings of the Almighty. We're praying to Him today through the appropriated way, coming by the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus, confessing our wrongs, our unworthiness. No merits we have. We only come because we've been bidden to come. He said, "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, I'll do it." We believe that, because we look at the resource, where it come from, Who said it, none other than the beloved Child of the Almighty God, Who was the heart bosom of the Father.
And we pray now, that You'll receive us. Come, get Your Word, Lord, and speak It through mortal lips to mortal ears, and may It go into hearts, and...?... like the soul. Give faith for the coming services. We ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-27 Now, in the opening of the Word... And I was going to speak altogether, today was on my heart, to speak on the subject of God In His Universe; but seeing my time getting away, I will speak over from the Book of Exodus, the 4th chapter.
I know you have to go to church tonight, and so we'll try to let out early. We want a good long prayer line this afternoon, many people to be called to pray for.
And now we'll... Turn with me to the 4th chapter of Exodus, you that marks it down. I just love the Word, don't you? "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word of God."
No matter how many little things that we try to do or say, how many little fictitious things, and so forth, and our...?... our theology, it simply just doesn't work 'less It comes from the Word of God. That's where our faith rests.
Now as we read:
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
May the Lord add His blessings to these Words, and for--while we try to, by the Holy Spirit, to get the context from this, we'll make the text: "What Is That In Your Hand?"

L-28 This was a great day. In the days Moses... We all know that how God had called Moses and chose him in the early days, how that he was born to be a prophet. And when he came from his mother, she recognized that he was a--that he was a proper child. Moses, again, a perfect type of the Lord Jesus, born during the time of persecution. How the enemy tried to kill him, just like they tried to kill the Lord Jesus.
When Jesus was born, the Roman Empire issued forth a issue to kill all the children from two years old. And Moses, when he was born, saw he was a proper child, his parents hid him like Joseph and Mary hid Jesus. Everything, he was born to be a deliverer, and to be a prophet, to be a priest; and so was Jesus, just in every way.

L-29 But Moses, when the law was given Moses failed. He came down and struck the rock that was in his hand, and threw it down and broke the Commandments, on because of a weakness he had, which was temper. And he broke the Commandments and went back, showing that priesthood, Levitical priesthood, would be broken.
And in his temptation, he was forty days in the wilderness, and Jesus was in the wilderness forty days. And when He come out, Satan tempted Him at His weakness spot, hunger--forty day fast. But when he met--when he met Moses, he could overthrow him, but when he met Jesus, he found out that there was something more than Moses there.
He said, "If Thou be the Son of God, perform a miracle here before me. Let me see you do it; I'll believe You. Make bread here out of these stones. If You're the Son of God, You can do it."
Jesus knew that He only did what the Father showed him. He said, "It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone; ever Word that proceeded out of the mouth of God."
