<TITLE>11. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 "Say, Moses, you going down to take over Egypt? Why, it's impossibility."
"I'm going to take it anyhow."
"What's kind of a--what kind of a weapon you going to use?"
"This stick." An old crooked stick... Oh, my.
"What kind of a weapon you're going to use?" Why, certainly. The thing of it was, God said so. That did it. When God says so, the spiritual mind catches it, and that's all they need. He didn't have to have an examination by a--a medical doctor or psychiatrist to see if he was able--had mental powers to do it. God told him so and that settled it. So he went on. That's the way every believer is. They just believe what God tells them, if it's in the Word, the Bible said so.

L-38 Like when you Pentecostal people first started about fifty years ago, why the churches said you were "a bunch of idiotics. Why it would burn down in twenty-four hours." Said, "There won't be nothing to that."
What is it?" Huh. It's not burning down; it's burning up. Amen. The Pentecostal church is on the move; most conversions. "The Catholic Sunday Visitor" had it here not long ago, that they had more conversions than any other church there was in the world in one year's time. What is it? Men on fire, men has been by the burning bush, men that's heard, recognized, and acting on His Word.
They don't care what they're called; it's a birthright. They don't care what the--whether they have to preach. If it's in the street corner, or out in the barnyard, or wherever it's at. They'll preach the Gospel, because they've heard and recognized it to be God. And they acted on it, and the Holy Ghost came. Their hearts are burning with zeal. They must go, young or old, or whatever it is, he hits the fields, because why? God called him. God said so. That settles it.

L-39 What if He took Elijah on Mount Carmel? When he... Imagine him up there and all these other people praying and saying, "Oh, Baalim come do certain things."
He said, "Kill me some ox and lay them upon there." And got all the water poured on there.
They might've thought, "Well, that poor old fellow. You know, something's wrong."
Maybe Elijah, if--if God hadn't have spoke to him, he might've said, "Now, wait a minute; I'd better be sure of this. Maybe that fire won't fall." Oh, if you can imagine Elijah saying that. 'Cause God had told him so. He recognized it was the voice of God. He said, "Bring me barrels of water. Pour them barrels of water on top of it. I know the fire is going to fall." Why? He had to get things in order. He had heard, he--he received; and he was acting on what God said do.

L-40 If you don't believe God will give you the Holy Ghost, hear it, recognize it, come up here and see if He will or not. You come with a clean heart. Come with a swincere--sincere will, and surrender to him. And you believe it with all your heart; find out what takes place. Yes, sir. There's not a intellectual conception of some mental something that you've had. If God, down in your heart's a calling you, He will fill you with the Holy Ghost as certain as my name's Bill Branham. He will sure will do it, if you'll act upon what you hear and recognize it to be God.
But now as long as you say, "Well, it might not be it. It--it might be maybe that preacher's telling me something wrong. May I..."
