<TITLE>07. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 God can do some of the most ridiculous things to the human mind. Watch your carnal mind, what would he said about this the next morning? Here come Moses. Runs home and he gets Zipporah, set her astraddle of a mule, with a kid on each hip, a stick in his hand, an old man, eighty years old, whiskers hanging way down, long hair hanging down, leading a little old donkey along, pulling him along with a rope; and his wife setting on the mule with a child on each hip. "Where are you going, Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over." How ridiculous: a one man invasion. Right. But the beauty of it was, he did it. Why? God said so.
Don't make any difference how unreal it seems or how unreasonable it seems, don't try to figure it out, just obey what God said do. You can take over the circumstance tonight if you wish to. God said so. You can take and control every disease that's in this body. God said so. And He did it, and God will do it again. When He gives a promise, He'll stand behind it.

L-23 "What kind of a weapon you going to use?" You remember Pharaoh's got a lot of chariots and swordsmen and horsemen and everything like that. He had a crooked stick in his hand. What's in your hand? You might not be able to whistle, but you can do something. What's ever's in your hand, use it to the glory of God. Give it to Him and let Him bless it, and watch what takes place. Certainly, no matter what it is. It may seem little and insignificant to you, but give it over to God one time.
The little boy had a lunch. It wasn't very much to him, but once in the hands of Jesus, it fed five thousand, taken up baskets full. Whatever you got to do, do it. What little faith you got, press it in yonder and put it on the cross of Calvary, and believe God's promise for it, and watch what takes place: how it'll multiply. Certainly.

L-24 How ridiculous it seemed: this old man, whiskers all over his face. "Yep, going down to..."
"Where you going, boy?"
"Down to Egypt."
"What are you going to do?"
"Take over." And he did it, went on down and took over. He brought the children of Israel out of bondage. On the road out, God showed signs and wonders. Every time you see a man any time in the Bible that's ever had a touch of God, signs and wonders follow. Jesus promised the same thing: "These signs shall follow them that believe to the end of the world. In My Name they shall cast out devils, speak with new tongues; take up serpents, or drink deadly things, it wouldn't harm them. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." What you think today, a sign of a believer, is a D.D., Ph.D., L.L.D., something like that. But Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe," the supernatural signs. Our ecclesiastical things won't work. You try to do it in yourself.

L-25 Like Saul was, one time, backed up there and Goliath on the other side of the hill, threatening, and all of them was scared to death. But the wrong man come in the camp for Goliath one day: a little scrawny looking fellow, stooped over shoulders with a sheepskin coat on, called David. He said, "Do you mean tell me that you let that uncircumcised Philistine defy the armies of the living God?" Said, "I'll go fight him." Oh, what a--what a courage. Why? He had been somewhere. He'd had some experience.
Saul said, "Come here, son, I'll put my armor on you." And he put a big armor on him. The helmet... The poor little fellow's probably bowlegged. That's what's the matter with the church today. And the pastor, you load him down with so many degrees and things till he's bowlegged and don't know what to do. Saul found out one thing. That's right. How to school him, educate him... Worse off, take him over to the seminary and take it all out of him God put in him. That's right.
