<TITLE>08. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 The burdens of the people, and--and the cries was so great, till God had to be forced to call a conference. When God makes a decision, it's got to be that way.
So He had already, before the foundation of the world, had put a man on the Lamb's Book of Life for the purpose of delivering them people. All thins--things is preplanned by God. That man's name was Moses, His servant. So before the foundation of the world, Moses was chose to deliver the people. And Moses had failed God.
That should give us co--confidence and courage. We who have failed God, we still have hopes. We fail Him as a Church; we fail Him as a people. But let's call a conference; talk it over with Him; see what He will tell us; see what decision we'll derive at.

L-26 And God's man had failed. And God had to call a conference; He couldn't use no one else; He'd selected Moses. So He goes down into the wilderness, somewhere in the back of the desert, near Sinai, and He selected a top of a mountain and a bush, a certain place. He thought, "I will bring Moses up here. This will be a good place, away from his sheep, away from his wife, away from his children, away from all the people. And I will call a conference with him."
And there when He spoke to the prophet, they finally arrived at the subject. "I've heard the cries of My people. That's why I called you, Moses. I've heard the cries of My people down there, and I remember that I made a promise that I have to keep. And I'm sending you down there."

L-27 Moses had his--his words back with God. He was a man. He said, "But who am I? I--I can't talk."
And then in this--this conference, God said to Moses, "Who made the mouth of men? Who made men to talk? Who made the deaf? Who made the dumb?"
And Moses still complained. He wanted to see God's glory. And He said, "Moses, if you want to know Who I am, I'm a miracle working God. Throw your stick down on the ground," and it turned to a serpent. Then He said, "Stick you hand in your bosom and pull it out," and it was leprosy. And when he put it back again and pulled it out, it was healed. Said, "You know Who I am, Moses? I'm the God that performs miracles. I'm the God that heals the sick and the afflicted. I am Jehovah God."
Moses said, "I see Your glory. One more thing I want to know before this conference is closed: who will I tell Pharaoh that sent me?"
He said, "Tell him that I AM sent you, not I was, or I will be, but forever present, the same yesterday, today, and forever. I AM." "AM" is present tense. Not... It takes future, presence, and--and past tense. "I AM. I AM has sent you."

L-28 Moses received his orders and went on down to the Egypt. Coming out, bringing the children, there come a time that when they were cornered. A people, a people, called out, separated people from the rest of the world... Israel was a people of God as long as in Egypt. When once out of Egypt, they were the Church of God. The word "called out" or "church" means "called out." So they had been called out from the rest of the world, and they are the church.
That's what it is this morning. Those that are called out of the world, no matter what denominational tag they have on them, if they're called out, they are separated unto God, and they are members of His great Church.
So these people had separated themselves by offering the blood of a lamb, and by putting on the--the blood over the lintel of the door. And that was put on with hyssops.
