<TITLE>07. Par 33-38</TITLE>L-33 And Moses, when he become full forty years old, a middle-aged man, and he'd been trained in school... But God has such a rigged way sometimes of bringing His things to pass at His promise. How that He took Moses back at the backside of the desert and let him hear the screams and the haunts as he staggered in the wilderness. And as back there alone in the deserts and the howling winds, the scorpions and the cobras, and alone out in the wilderness till he almost perished... There's nothing can defeat the purpose of God. God had brought Moses forth, and Moses had to do what God told him to do. 'Cause God's purpose cannot be defeated.

L-34 It was our character this morning, Job, that when he was in the deepest of his distress, when all of his riches had gone from him. His children was dead; his body was broke out in boils; and he was in the greatest distress that he was ever in, setting on an ash-heap with the crock scraping the boils and his wife in the door, "Why don't you curse God and die?"
When the members of his church had their backs turned to him for seven days and accusing him, when they ought to have been comforting him... But they were accusing him of being a secret sinner, accusing him of being a backslider. It was in that great hour; it was in that great momentous time, that when God took Job to the sacred sands where He takes every believer, to an experience unto the backside of the desert like He did Moses, until the little secret closet where He took you, until the coal shed where I received it.

L-35 God has a place, and a purpose, and a time. And when He had Job in this condition, He had him on the sacred sands. For He was going to reveal something to him that would never go away. Oh, for those sacred sands, He has to take every real child there. He gets you on those places where there's no devil can ever come. There's no teacher can ever explain it away. He gives you something on those sands back there that, an experience that you'll never forget as long as ages roll on.

L-36 No matter how atheotic your mother, your daddy, your husband, wife, your associates may become... Every true believer has that spot where God has met him. There isn't one left out. Every believer has it. Every person that's borned of the Kingdom of God knows that spot, that minute, that hour, that where God took him. And on those sacred sands in the Presence of the burning bush, He did something to that believer that all the mentality of the world could not destroy. "Upon this rock I'll build My church and the gates of hell shall not destroy it." Upon this rock, the spiritual revelation of the resurrected Jesus; upon this rock.

L-37 Job in his distress, everything gone... His wife had turned against him and was accusing him. And all his believers, friends had turned against him because they only had theology. And all the rest had turned against him. But God said, "Come here, Job. I'm going to give you something, boy. I'm going to place within you something that all the devils of hell can't shake out. And if every teacher in the world might accuse you one way or the other; but It'll never move." You know what He did? He just raised up the curtain a little bit and said, "Job, look yonder." And what did Job see? What do you think he saw? He saw Easter for its first time. He saw the first Easter, and he screamed, "I know my Redeemer liveth."

L-38 Oh, what a blessed place to be. Every man that's chosen of God and every woman and child comes to that spot on those sacred sands to where God lifts the curtain, and you see Him in His resurrected power. You know that He lives. And we as Job can cry, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And at the last days He shall stand on the earth. Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in this flesh shall I see God."
