<TITLE>05. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 Moses was a witness. After all of his teaching of his mother, and though as good as it might be, he was a witness to God after he had seen something. He was on the backside of the desert herding his father-in-law's sheep, when all of a sudden he saw a fire and a bush that was not consumed; and walking into the presence of this, he saw the Fire, and he heard with his ear a voice that said, "Take off your shoes, Moses, for the ground where you stand is holy ground." Said, "I've heard the cries of My people, and I've come down to deliver them."
Moses could go to Egypt as a one-man invasion with this one sure thought in his mind and that only. No matter how ridiculous it looked, Moses was God's witness after he had seen and heard God. He was a witness of it.

L-17 I was talking some time ago to a scientist that when Joshua, the great warrior, who stood by the river of Jordan, that separated Israel in the wilderness from the promised land. The great stream that's always believed among the peoples that represents death that we cross the Jordan to the promised land as Jesus gave us in John 14. The--just the separation is the death line.
And when Joshua, who had stood and heard Moses teach, and had heard Moses the prophet, and had saw the great signs of God work by His prophet, one day while encamped, a great military man, and had all Israel gathered at the bank. They had come out, because God had give them a promise, and He had performed many miracles, but they were down at the end of the road. It taken the hand of God, and as I said this afternoon in the service, how God loves to get His people just in that condition, shows you... He can--He can just show them His power and love.

L-18 I heard a man speak the other day or wrote a book, a famous man. I would not call his name, because he ridiculed me. There was no need of disgracing him. He said he didn't believe me. Well, that's all right. I don't ask him to believe me. I ask him to believe the Lord. And he said, "Here's one reason." Said, "I have never seen William Branham, but I know he's false."
Well now, that would be a pretty bad testimony. The law would produced something better from that. They didn't judge a man till they heard him. So yet he said, "I had a man to come to me and say, 'I want you to pray for me, Dr. So-and-so. I have a kidney trouble.'"
He said, "How long have you been bothered by it?"
Said, "Thirty years altogether, but I was healed for two years, and it come back on me again."
And the man said, "How... What doctor did you go to?"
Said, "Well, in Louisville, Kentucky, a fellow by the name of Brother Branham was praying for the sick, and the man never seen me in his life, but he looked up in the balcony, and told me who I was, and told me I had been suffering with this kidney trouble for many years but," he said, "I was healed."
Well, the doctor of divinity said, "Were you healed?"
Said, "Two years I never had one sign of it, but it come back on me again." He said, "Therefore, you see William Branham is false."
