<TITLE>11. Par 50-54</TITLE>L-50 So he went out on his military education, and he slew a man and was a stranger among his brethren for forty years. But one day an old sheepherder walking around on the backside of the desert, and the first thing you know, he come into the Presence of God. And when he did, the Holy Ghost got a fire bush there, and He told Moses more about His leading in five minutes than all the... he had to take the military out of him and put the real genuine Holy Spirit in him, so he could be led by the Spirit.
I want you to notice. Moses was a coward with all of his military training, with all of his theology, with all of his understanding of the Bible.

L-51 His mother had taught him from a child how--what was going to take place, how he was going to be the emancipator of that great nation Israel. All these things she had taught him, but yet in his own mind he was unable to accomplish the purpose. And every man, I don't care how much education you got, how well you know the Bible, how much theology you've learned, you're unqualified till you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and be led by the Spirit of God.
A hundred and twenty had went up in the upper room. These apostles and--and Matt... Mark 11:24. No, I believe it's Luke 24:49. In Luke 24:49 Jesus told them apostles, after they had been with Him and preached and everything, He said, "But you're My witnesses, but first I want you to go to the city of Jerusalem and wait there until you're endued with power from on high." Right.

L-52 No matter they'd been associating with Him for three and a half years, they'd seen His miracles. They knowed His teaching, but they had to have the Holy Ghost to lead them.
Our schools are fine, but we need the Holy Ghost to lead them. That's right.
Now, when Moses... When you get the Holy Ghost to leading you, the Holy Ghost will lead you in some of the most ridiculous things that the world ever looked at, and make you do the most ridiculous things that the world ever thought about.
You're going to be counted a little bit off in the upper story. Just remember, if they persecuted the prophets which were before you, they'll persecute you.
Jesus said, "Blessed are you. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven."

L-53 Notice. How wonderful. Persecuted, how that they'll do it because of your peculiar actions.
Now, let's take a minute. Here's a man that's got all the military training. He's got all the seminary theology in him. He knows the Bible, but he's a coward. He's standing out on the backside of the desert, scared to go down in Egypt, scared of his own neck. He's afraid to go down, even afraid to visit his loved ones.
And when God met him up there, and he got a revelation from God, when God begin to lead him, he done the most ridiculous thing that any man could do, run over and kissed his father-in-law good-bye, and set his wife astraddle of a mule with a young'n on each hip, got an old crooked stick in his hand, and started down, the whiskers a blowing, leading a little old mule, "Hallelujah, we're going down to Egypt to take over."
If that wasn't a ridiculous looking sight, going down there to millions of trained man. "Where are you going, Moses?"
"We're going to Egypt to take over."
"How do you know you are?"
"God is a leading me. Something on the inside of me pushing me." And a good thing, He done it too. He went out and took over because he was led by the Spirit of God.

L-54 You shout, you cry, you jump up-and-down, you don't know what takes place.
One time... When I go hunting up in the mountains, I usually go to a big, old place there, the best water I've ever drink, just go there and lay down. How I could drink it tonight. And I lay down there and drink, and that's the happiest stream of water I've ever seen in my life. It's bubble, bubble, bubble all the time.
