<TITLE>06. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 What a difference it was to stand off there, and look at it that way, and to get down and look at it the way, that it was made to look at. And that's the way that God is. That's the way that faith is. It's the way you look at it. If you looked at it as some sort of a historical Bible, of something that was in the days gone by, you will never be able to get the real value of the Bible. You are supposed to get on your knees, and obey the commandments of this Bible, and look at it through the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
I would ask this audience this morning: what good does a historical God do us today, if He isn't the same God? What good does a God, that would take Moses and do the miracles with him that He did, what good would it do us to read of such a God, if He isn't the same One today?

L-22 What good is a God, that could deliver from the fiery furnace, the Hebrew children, if He isn't the same God today? What good is the God, that would judge between right and wrong in a day gone by, and punish the wrong, and bless the right? If He isn't the same God today, what do we go to church for? Why do we abstain from things of the world, if He isn't the same God of the same judgment and the same opinion that He always was?
What good would it be for God, Who could touch a woman's hand with a raging fever, and the fever stop, if He isn't the same God today? What good would it be to serve a God Who could call His friend from a grave, after being dead four days, if He isn't the same God today. By faith, we believe that some glorious day He shall call us from the earth, though we be a spoonful of ashes again.
How do we prove it? We do not prove it; we believe it. We're not asked to prove anything; we're asked to believe it. By faith Moses did such-and-such.

L-23 And as Moses, as a young man looked through the palace window at the slaves, he saw the same bunch of grimy, dirty, muck-ridden slaves that Pharaoh saw. And when Pharaoh looked upon them--and the Egyptians--they wasn't nothing but a bunch of slaves. That's all they were good for, just to be human mud-daubers, to make muddy bricks for the benefit of the cities that Pharaoh was building.
That's the way the Egyptians and Pharaoh looked at the slaves. But Moses, when he looked at them, it was a different look Moses had. When he seen, passing by the window, the great ditches in their face, the tears that run down their cheeks, and their bent bodies, he looked upon them as the people of God. He didn't look upon them as slaves; he looked upon them as the chosen people of God.

L-24 Oh, as I go about from country to country, and from nation to nation, preaching since I left the doors of this little Tabernacle (that's a interdenominational institution, with no law but love, no book but the Bible, and no creed but Christ), I've tried to look upon God's children and upon the rejected, as being God's chosen and elected people. I don't ask them if they belong to the Branham Tabernacle. I don't ask them if they're Methodist, or if they're Presbyterians, or if they are Pentecostals, or Nazarenes, or Pilgrim Holiness. I just want to look upon them as the people of God, and seeing their doings, and their actions that they are the servants of the Lord God; and my heart desires fellowship with them. No matter what brand they got, I just long for their fellowship. I love them, because I know they are people of God.
