<TITLE>14. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 So Moses... There he was, just as you have to be. No matter how slick the tongue is of a man; no matter how much they try to explain it away... If you've ever been at the backside of the desert; if you've ever been called in the Presence of God, and stood there, and talked to Him, and feeled His power surging through you like that Light was coming out of that bush over Moses, and know that you've talked to God face to face, all the devils in the world could never explain it away from you. No, sir. That's the place where you met God. Satan can't do nothing else, because it's a anchored place in your soul, that nothing else could ever take it's place. You've passed from death unto Life, and you're borned again. You're on them sacred grounds, and nobody... The devil can't put his dirty foot around there. He can explain the Scripture, and say it was for another day, and this one for another day, and that one for another day. That won't... But when it comes to knowing God, you've met Him face to face, and you know what you're talking about.

L-39 Now, that's what Moses hadn't done yet. You see? He had all the theology, but he took the fig leaf route. See? But now... Just like Adam did. But he wanted to be wise; he wanted to know something.
You remember, that was Satan's technique. "You'll be wise and know. You don't know now, but I'll give you some wisdom if you go to my school." He will give you plenty of it, all you want.
But you only have to know one thing: Jesus Christ died to save sinners, and come to Him; accept Him; repent. That's exactly. Just as simple... Said, "Though a fool shouldn't err in the way," Isaiah said. God made it so simple. I'm glad He did, or I'd never understood it. So He just made it simple, so we all could understand. That's the way God made it.

L-40 Now, and when He talked to Moses at the burning bush, and Moses got a close glimpse of God. He come on to a place where he'd never been before. Something anchored in him; a faith rose up in him. Where he couldn't do it with an army, here he was going to do it himself, him and God, with an old crooked stick. See? He'd had a conference.
He went right down into Egypt and done exactly what God told him to do. He performed signs and wonders and everything else. And God let the hard times come buffet him, and knock him down, and turn him around, but he got right up again and said, "I know it's right! I met God; and I'm going to take them out yonder."

L-41 When Jannes and Jambres could stand and throw their sticks down and turn into a serpent, and could do all the same things... Just like a spiritualist can almost do today, "deceive the very elected if possible," call out great crowds, and have great so-and-so, and everything. That don't stop it a bit. If you've ever been in the Presence of God, you know where you're standing. You know Who your Father is; you know where you was born from. If a man has no more then a handshake, and a name on a book, and a letter in some church, he don't know who his papa was. That's right.
If there's anything I feel sorry for, is the mule. Don't you... Now, God created all things, but He didn't create a mule. No, sir. As Booth-Clibborn's used to say, He didn't create him. No. You know, that was what man done. He--he--he crossed from the horse to the jenny; that's what caused the mule. He cannot cross hisself back; he cannot produce hisself no more. That's right. He has to stay right where he's at. And if there ever was a ignoramus, it's a mule. That's right. Why, you can set and just holler at him, and scream at him as much as you want to, he will stick them big ears out and just look at you. That's...
