<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 Well, that's a precious treasure in the mind of God, and in the heart of God, that He can use that person. Until we get to a place that we've--we do not rely upon these five senses (of contact to earthly home), and walk by faith... "for the just shall live by faith..."
Moses needed that touch. He tried to do it intellectually. That's what's the matter with the churches of our day. We're trying to do it through schools. We're trying to do it through denominations. We're trying to do it through education, and reformation. What the church needs is a--a new birth, a baptism of the Holy Spirit, the touch of the sixth sense that sets the soul on fire for God. That touch to bring him out of that rut...
When they begin to say, "The days of miracles is past, and there's no such a thing as Divine healing," God needs to touch that church, call a conference. Why would we doubt His Word?

L-24 So He called a conference with Moses. And He selected a place, a burning bush. And at that burning bush, He talked to Moses and said, "I remember My promise, and I'm sending you down yonder, where you made a failure. I'm sending you right back to take up where you left off, but this time, it's going to be different." Moses, a coward, running from God...
Oh, sometime when you get in contact with God and have a conference with Him, and He touches you and brings down that sixth sense, that power, it makes you do things that the people think you're crazy.
Look what a difference. A coward running by--over behind the bushes to herd Jethro's sheep one day... He met God in a conference at the burning bush, and the next day, here he goes down to Egypt, an old man eighty years old, white hair and beard hanging over his face, his wife straddle of a mule with a kid on her hip, stick in his hand, the white beard a-growing... "Where you going Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over." A one man invasion, but the thing of it is, he did it, because he'd had a conference with God. And he got a touch of something that was--changed his mind. He forgot his theology and took God at His Word. Said, "We're going down to take over."

L-25 Be like one man, going over and take over Russia, the greatest armies in the world. But he did it because he'd had a conference and talked it over with Christ.
That's what we need tonight. The Pentecostal church tonight, needs a conference, a calling together, a talk over with God to send back the old fashion Pentecostal power, the Holy Ghost, back in the church, and liven up the faith, and give the meetings that used to be.

L-26 It was quite a conference, but then when He... There's another type of conference. After a man has followed the commission of God, as Moses did, and brought the children of Isael--Israel out of Egypt, and was on his road to the promised land, directly in the way that God told him to go, and then he come up against an obstacle...
That's what the church is done tonight. That's what many of us have done in our--in our lives: we've come up against something. But if it's in the way of promise, if anything stands in the way of promise, we got a right to hold a conference.
Here was Israel, Moses leading them, the Pillar of Fire going before them, and here was the Red Sea cutting them off from Palestine. Right in the line of the blessing, here come the Red Sea, and Pharaoh's army behind them, and the mountains on either side. Even nature would scream out for mercy.
"Oh," Israel said. "if we would to God that we died down there with the flesh pots of Egypt. Just as soon died down there, as to come out here and be slaughtered by Pharaoh."
But Moses, that great leader as it... Had a conference with God before, knowed what it meant to be in a tight place.
