<TITLE>06. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 And there was another time that I can think of, of a conference was called by God. And we would call this the burning bush conference. God had remembered that He made a promise to Abraham, and to-- not only to Abraham, but his seed after him. And we are Abraham's seed. Being dead in Christ, we take on Abraham's seed and are heirs according to the promise. God remembered that He made a promise, that those seed would sojourn in a strange land for four hundred years, but He would deliver them.
And the prophet that He had chosen and had borned him in the world a prophet, he'd--instead of taking God's way, he went the intellectual way. He'd gone down into Egypt and had been schooled and had a--a great education, learned all kind a military strategy, and then tried to take it over in his own way of doing it.
There's only two ways to do anything, and that's the right way and the wrong way: and that's our way and God's way. Our way is always, forever wrong. God ways is for always right. No matter how foolish it seems to us, how simple it is: God behind it, there's nothing can stop it. God speaks it in His laws, and His ways operate perfectly.
So we find God calling to Moses--or seen Moses, a runaway prophet. Moses thought surely, that he was strong enough and he was enough military minded, to deliver the children of Israel.

L-21 Now, I want you to get something here. God, when He made man, give him five senses. And those five senses are see, taste, feel, smell, and hear, as we all know. Those five senses was not given to a man to guide him. That was given to a man to contact his earthly home: see, taste, feel, smell, and hear. And that's your earthly senses, and they were not given to you to guide you. But God sent the Holy Spirit, and He's your guide, the sixth Sense. That makes you believe things that you can't see, taste, feel, smell, or hear. That sixth sense, something that rise you up (and only one class of people has that sixth sense; that's believers)... Hebrews 11:1 said, "By faith... And without faith, it's impossible to please God." So, God gives man faith! And faith is the sixth sense that makes you deny anything that's contrary to His Word.

L-22 He gave Moses that faith when he was (that sixth sense), when he was seventy-five years old and Sarah sixty-five. Her womb was dead. He'd lived with her since she was about seventeen years old, no children. He was seventy-five years old, as good as dead, and God told him he was going to have a baby. And he called anything contrary to it, as though it wasn't, for he was fully persuaded that God was able to keep every word He said. He didn't just wait from one night to the other. He waited twenty-five years before it ever happened, but he never failed one time. He staggered not at the promise through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God. He had a touch of that sixth sense. He called anything contrary to what God said, as though it wasn't. What God said was true. And after twenty-five years the baby was born.
Oh, I know it seems silly to the human mind. Could you imagine an old man here in Tifton, of a hundred years old and a woman ninety, going down to the doctor to make arrangements for have a baby? Why, the doctor would say, "The old man's kindy touched in his head. There's something wrong." That's right. In the case of Abraham, he'd took God by His Word. And it's always crazy to the carnal mind.
