<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 And as here, some time ago I was preaching, and gave a little illustration, of how that Amram would come home at night, and he'd say, "Jochebed, I am so tired." And the fresh lashes on his back from a--a task master's whip...
And she would set down, patiently, perhaps, and wash out the--the places, and weep, and say, "Oh, Amram, isn't there something that can be done? "
Now, we could hear him say, "Oh dear, if you'd have been with me today and seen them beat them young boys, trying to pull those loads. But they were heartless. They treated them like they were animals, and that's our young man of Israel... Isn't there something can be done?"
That's what I wonder now. To see our young teen-age boys, that will be the men and women of tomorrow, our teens today, hair down in their neck, and britches pulled down over their hips, with a pistol stuck in their side, and a cigarette in the side of their mouth. What will it be? It's still slavery under the devil.

L-27 "Isn't there something that can be done?" And Amram, perhaps one of the only ones of the nation would climb up a little stair step, regardless of how tired he was, and there each night he'd call on the God of Abraham, One that he'd learned, that come to Abraham, and come to Job, and come to Isaac, and come to Jacob in hours of distress. And surely if He was God in their day, He'd be God in that day. And if He was God in Moses' day, He's God today. He just needs to be called up out of history, and called on the scene of action.
And I can see Amram, night after night, no matter how tired... That proved his faith in that God. But today, the people, if they don't get everything they ask for the first time they pray, they seem to think that He's dead.
What we need is men and women today of gallant spirit. Men and women who are determined to hold on, till they see a God that really lived, come into action, that will not take "No." for an answer. They're determined to stay with it.

L-28 If they are sick, and the doctor has said they can't get well, yet something within them tells them they're going to be well, hold on no matter what takes place.
Have you joined the churches of the denominational world until you have sapped all your strength from walking from place to place, and you still can't find relief? There's still a God that answers prayer and saves from sin.

L-29 And as we can see Amram, on those wearying nights, back bleeding, climbing up the steps again, until two and three o'clock in the morning, praying, and seem like you just talking to the wind; but down in his Jewish heart there burned a faith, that no winds of doubt could ever blow out. That's the kind of men and women we need to rise on the scene today. If He doesn't answer tonight, He will tomorrow night. If He doesn't answer this year, He will next year, for He's a God--not "a" God--but "the" God.
And we see night after night, as Amram climbed the steps, and Jochebed would come up to him and say, "Amram, dear, you've been up here praying all night. Why don't you just tell some of the boys where you're working, and let them pray awhile."
"Well, honey, what if they don't do it? Somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to pray through."
That's they way every Christian ought to feel tonight, not waiting for somebody else, but take the front ourselves and go through.
