<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 Now, could you imagine the next day, after God had appeared to Moses, who was hiding from the Egyptians. And if you want to see something that looks ridiculous in the eyes of man, look at this sight. Here comes an old man, eighty years old, the whiskers hanging down to his waistline, a little old stick in his hand, and the hair and whiskers blowing every way, little old skinny arms beating the stick on the ground as he goes, leading a little old mule with his wife setting astraddle with a young one on each hip, going down to Egypt to take over. Could you imagine that?
Could you imagine someone saying, "Moses, where are you going?"
"I'm going down to Egypt to take over." That would be like a one man invasion. But the thing of it was, he done it. No matter how simple it seems, God was behind the program; that's the main thing.

L-10 Could you imagine a man standing surrounded by a thousand Philistines with armors and spears, as Samson stood and picked up the jaw bone of a mule and slayed a thousand. God does things so simple.
Could you imagine a great army on one side of the hill, a great army on the other side of the hill, and the army on the opposite side were the Philistines versing Israel with so many more, and they had a challenger over there by the name of Goliath. He was many times bigger than any other man. And he was making his challenge. And all Israel, with all their training was scared of him. And God chose a little old ruddy, warty looking guy by the name of David, with a little sheepskin coat on him, and a slingshot packing in his hand, to slay that giant and take over. God uses simple things that seems ridiculous in the sight of the world, He does that to show His great power.
God did the same thing when He sent His Son to the earth. Born in a manger, come to the world with a black name to begin with as a illegitimate child, but He produced one of the greatest shocks this world has ever had.

L-11 And on the day of Pentecost God had a hundred and twenty illiterate fishermen and peasants in a upper room to inaugurate the beginning of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, but He had them completely under control. Went in the city, where men from all over the world, with great education and philosophers, teachers, theologians, but God chose a bunch of little humble fishermen. And He condemned the world and sent forth the liberation to all the world, with this bunch of little humble fishermen.
And then would it seem too great for God, in this last day, when we got all kinds of schools of theology, when we got all kinds of denominations, all kinds of religion, would it seem too great for God that He could take a bunch of humble people, just ordinary people and once get them under His control, could He not repeat again the blessings of Pentecost? Could He not repeat again the very life that He lived on the earth?

L-12 The Bible said, "That God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son." Now, God's love to the world, and God is love. And when God projected Himself to the world to save the world, there could be nothing else but sovereign grace to produce a Saviour. When God loves, something has to operate. And God so loved the world that a Divine Saviour appeared; His grace provided that Saviour. It was because of His love that brought forth this Saviour.
Now, in the day that we're living and in all days, we were born to be sons and daughters of God. We are offsprings of God. And being offsprings of God, there's something about us that believes God. There's something in you that calls out for something. And today to satisfy that longing in our hearts, many times we try to satisfy it with education; we try to satisfy it with denomination. We try to satisfy it with--with fantastics. We try to satisfy it with one thing and another. But it will never take place until Divine love in our hearts is projected to Almighty God.
