<TITLE>11. Par 39-43</TITLE>L-39 Moses esteemed the reproach of Christ... He foresaw Christ. Later he spoke some mighty inspiring words about Him. See? "The Lord your God shall rise up a Prophet like unto me." He knew he foresaw Him, and re... esteemed His reproach greater riches, than all the glamour of the world.
Christian friend, today, can't you do that? But all the glamour and popularity of the world... By faith we see Him Who promised. And the worst of the church today in all of it's condition, yet it'll outweigh everything the devil can offer you. If we are tore up, if we are broke to pieces, if we are confused, and broke up in denominations, and fanaticism, it'll outweigh anything the devil can offer you. Certainly.
He esteemed the reproach of Christ greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt. Then he had to do something. He forsook Egypt. Oh, I love that word. He forsook Egypt. See, he was looking through the same window, but he was looking different from Pharaoh.

L-40 What if Pharaoh could have seen his end? What if Pharaoh would've seen his nation drowned. Moses saw it. How? By science? By faith Moses saw it. Everything that he did was by faith, because God promised Abraham, his father, that He--He would visit this nation, after four hundred years, and would bring them out. And by faith, Moses believed the Word that God said, and knowed himself, as by faith, to be the chosen leader to bring them out. He knew where he was. He took his place in the slime-pits of the mud-dauber and counted the reproach of Christ, greater riches, than to set on the throne of Egypt. He took...
He never did say, "I sympathize with them..." He took their place and went with them. Glory to... He took their place. We went with them. No wonder the inspired writer said, "I'll take the way with the Lord's despised few. I've started in with Jesus, now, I'm going through." I'm on my way to Canaan's land. Sure.

L-41 Moses... It was said by one, that Moses had rather, when he could've been the son of Pharaoh and have the glamour of the world, he'd rather be a son of Abraham, than to be the son of Pharaoh--a son of Abraham, the despised, than to be son of Pharaoh, the king.
I'd rather be the son of the Lord Jesus, and His fellow servant, and take my place with the rejected people of this world, than to be president of this great United States of America, or to be an Elvis Presley, or a Pat Boone, or whoever you want to make it. I'll take my way.

L-42 Young ladies ought to take their way, instead of being a Mary Pickford, or some great movie star, some glamour girl; take your way with the Lord's despised few. I'd rather be a preacher in the pulpit, preaching the unsearchable riches of Christ, than to be a Hollywood movie star, or the greatest person on the earth. If I had to eat meager, beg, or whatever I had to do, I'll take my way with the Lord's people; by faith I do that. I've been offered opportunities, but by God's grace I still receive by faith. By faith I can see it afar. And our Father waits over the way, to prepare us as dwelling place there.

L-43 An income tax man said the other day, "Why did you turn your home to that church? What made you give a twenty-five thousand dollar home to that little old rubbish looking Tabernacle?"
I said, "It wasn't the church, that I did it. It's the people that's there." I have not none of this world's goods. Every penny of money I ever took is turned to this church. Why? My faith is on God and not on the things of this world. My affections are above, and I believe you all's are the same, if you're right with God. It's true that you are. We by faith receive. We by faith believe God.
