<TITLE>10. Par 45-49</TITLE>L-45 Now, there's a code of ethics to it. God has a new birth for you. But listen to His still small voice. Every one of you people who profess to be Christians, get yourself quiet before Him. Don't let the washing hinder. Don't let the work hinder. Don't let nothing hinder. Don't let nobody know what you're doing. Just go before Him. Get up in the woods somewhere. Get out on the side of the road. Go into the secret closet and close the door, when the kids gets at school. There get down on your knees. You've heard all kinds of voices everywhere. But just get down and stay there until those voices are silenced and you begin to lift up. It'll change you. It'll make you different like it did this little Samuel. It'll do something to you if you'll just do it. Now, it'll make you what you should be. It'll make you the kind of Christian that you ought to be.

L-46 Now, let's us go back off of this modern day, until a day that's passed. Let's go back to the days of the early times. And this voice of God has come to men in all walks of life in all ages. No matter if you're a farmer, if you're a shoe cobbler, whatever you may be, God still speaks. If you're sinner, if you're prostitute, harlot, if you are drunkard, if you are what a local church member, nominail--nominal, whatever you might be, the voice of God still waits to speak to you.

L-47 I'm thinking now of Moses when he was already eighty years old and had eighty years of theological training. And he knew the Scriptures. He knew Them well. And he had a promise to him, that he was going to be the deliver of his people. But yet, just knowing the Scriptures and being a--a formal church member of that modern church in that day, he took the thing over in his own hands and tried to do it. He slew an Egyptian.

L-48 You see what you do without listening to God? You just mess it up. And when the devil this morning would say, "Don't you be baptized."... Another would say, "Oh, do it later." One would say, "You'd better be sure you know what you're doing." And the other'd say, "You're going to lose a good time." The only way to settle that is go to God's Word with it. But people today don't seem to want to do that.

L-49 And Moses, he had been to the best of the rabbis. But they'd gotten formal and cold. He'd heard the story his mother told him of how that he was hid in the bulrushes, and how that the big alligators couldn't get a hold of him. How he'd floating down that stream as that baby, where the--the old alligators were just fat. (This is for the little children.) They were fat from eating them little babies. That old hooked-nose women, police women, never did have a baby, didn't know how the love of a baby was. Why, they'd just got out there, and take, and kill them little babies, and throw them out in the river. Them old alligators was just fat on them little babies.
And, yet, God put upon the mother's heart to place her baby right in death. Don't you see it was a type of Christ? He went right into death. And every one of them old alligators would come up to that little bitty basket going down the river, you know why they couldn't do it, why they couldn't eat that little baby? There was an Angel setting there. "Get away from here."
Why? God gives His Angels charge to watch over His people. Don't you get scared honey. God's watching you. The devil may try to do something to you, but God's greater.
