<TITLE>04. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 It's strange how God, in many places, represents His people in different ways. Not long ago, we were speaking where He represented us as a eagle; and He being a eagle Himself, and we His little eaglets.
And I trust that I... everything will go right. The last time I spoke on that, I got a letter where in that great city. Many of you know where it was at in Ohio. The Ministerial Association gathered together and condemned my services, because that I believe that God called a man to Eternal Life before the foundation of the world. And to my belief, if God is God, ever was God, He still is God, and always was God. If He didn't know me before the world came into existence, then He's not God. Many of you has been reading here at the fairgrounds and so forth, on this superstition perception. And some of that, of course, backfired back to my ministry.

L-14 But if you ever studied, or had any way of studying mythology, myth, something that seems like it is, but it isn't... And in the Scriptures, we find that Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses by doing practically the same things they did, by casting down the rod and turning to a serpent. Moses called for plagues, and they could call plagues too. But they could not take the plagues away. They couldn't heal, because God is the only Healer. But they could cause plagues to come; then Moses took them away.
And then, the final showdown came where Moses did just as God told him to do. And I know all this that's dividing the world today is finally going to come to one great showdown someday, 'cause the Bible said, "As Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses; so will men with reprobate mind concerning the faith withstand in the last days. But their follies will be made manifest." It's a prophecy that must be fulfilled. And you can see both sides a rising now.

L-15 But Moses did just exactly what God told him to do. He threw down the rod and it turned to a serpent. And these soothsayers come out and throwed down their rods, and it turned to a serpent.
Moses was at the end of his intelligence, and at the end of his strength. But that's where God wants to get us, just to the end of our road, then He steps in. It's just like Him.
Maybe you're so sick this morning, till the doctor says you can't live. Drowning men will reach for a straw. That's the way it is when we try to get... All that we can work ourselves, that's humanly, that we'll do it. But when it comes to a place where there's no other hope, then who doesn't believe in Divine healing will believe right away then. It's their only hope.
And Moses was at the end of his reach. Then God steps in and calls His serpent to eat up the serpents of the other men. Then his serpent was no more.
