<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Moses had been trained as a military man and had been brought up with all the--the knowledge of the Egyptians. Pharaoh's daughter's son who was a heir to the throne, and then in his knowing also, besides that that he had a Divine call... And when he tried to act upon his education and upon his ability, what happened? W--he slew a Egyptian, looked this a way and that way.
Now, a man of God don't have to look and see whether anybody is looking or not. A man of God looks this way and that way; not this way and that way. See? So Moses right there give it away. He was to liberate the children of Israel, but he was out of God's program. And the church is God's instrument of the earth to liberate the sick and the afflicted, but they're out of the program by their homemade theology and not the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

L-26 Now, Moses after God had give him forty years more of teaching. Eighty years old: could you imagine how ridiculous to the carnal mind this would be? Here was Moses in the Presence of the burning bush was better equipped in five minutes in the Presence of God, than eighty years of schooling had give him. Amen. I hope that don't hurt, but I hope it really sinks in. See?
In the Presence of God five minutes gave him more knowledge of God and better equipped him, than eighty years of schooling. Brother, we don't need so much theology. We need kneeology today...?... That's true. Five minutes in the Presence of the burning bush. Eighty years he'd shunned: forty years on the desert running. And five minutes in the Presence of God at the burning bush he was ready to go. There you are.

L-27 And notice here he comes. An old man eighty years old, whiskers plumb down to his belt line with a stick in his hand, his wife setting straddle of a mule with a kid on each hip, the winds a blowing. Said, "Where you going, Moses?"
"I'm going down to Egypt to take over." A one-man invasion. Why the carnal mind would said, "Crazy." Egypt had the whole world whipped down at that time with tens of thousands of horsemens and chariots. Be like one man say, "I'm going to take over Russia." More...?... But here he goes. Could you imagine? Oh, here comes Moses, them little old thin, wrinkled arms, an old crooked stick in his hand beating the ground, dragging this little mule and his wife, setting on there with a child on each hip, just a singing the praises of God. Some said, "Moses, where you going?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over." Why? He wasn't scared. He didn't learn that by some theology. He didn't learn that by some book reading, but he had been in the Presence of the burning bush. That was the difference, and the thing of it was, he did it. Not what he said, but he went and done it. He went down and took over, and destroyed Egypt, a one man invasion, but he had been in the Presence of God.

L-28 Now, that looked ridiculous to the carnal mind. When they wanted water, it would've been ridiculous to go to a rock. What about the spring, but God said the rock. See? God takes the foolish things to confound the wise. So don't think you're too big, brother, and know too much. You might have to get a whole lot of that to know Christ. See? So, look at Mo--Moses.
And now, let's turn back to Abraham. God told Abraham, "Now, you're an old man seventy-five years old. You've lived with your wife since she was a girl, a little child, a little sixteen or eighteen year old girl, and now she's sixty-five--forty, fifty, sixty, about twenty-five years past menopause, but I'm going to give you a child by her."
