<TITLE>18. Par 49-50</TITLE>L-49 Moses knowed all the intellectuals, but God had to take him over to the bush and take it all out of him, and then put some faith in him from the Fire that was on the bush. And that's what we need tonight is another visit to the bush, where we get an experience.
Today we're living in a day when infidels is trying to explain it all the way. Jesus knowed that. He said, "I'll not leave you comfortless. The Father will send the Holy Ghost in My Name. And a little while and the world won't see Me no more, yet you'll see Me, for I (the Holy Spirit speaking in Him), I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world."
Now, God knowed that in the end of the world people's going to rise up, great scholars and intellectuals, and explain all of the Bible away. And no man has a right behind the pulpit, no man has a right to call himself a Christian, until he's once got back there on the backside of the desert under those sacred sands, where he met God face to face. He had an experience.
You might take all the slick, intellectual Doctors of Divinity to explain--explain all this away and explain all that away. But when it comes to stepping on that sacred sand where you met God face to face, there's not enough Doctors of Divinity, or not enough devils out of hell could ever shake that experience from you. When you have met God somewhere face-to-face, and felt the power of the change of a new life come in you, no devil in the hell could ever shake it away from you. You are a new creature, and you've got the experience in your heart.
You say, "But wait a minute, wait a minute, something happened." See? You've got something.
I remember when the general overseer come, and he said, "Billy, you must've had a nightmare."
I said, "If that's it, here's my fellowship card. I met Somebody that talked to me. It was Life to me."
I said, "Here's..."
"Oh," he said, "don't feel that way about it."
I said, "Well that's just my feeling anyhow. I can't get all tied up here and serve God. I'll just serve Him right out, just me and Him together."

L-50 Now, notice as we're closing. The winds begin to blow, poison wind. There's been a whole lot of winds been blowing today. Saying, "The days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing as Divine healing. The Holy Spirit was for another age, two thousand years ago."
Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "It's for you and to your children, and them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That's how far it goes. That's just as many as it could go, but you see, they've got something they want to type the world into it. We'll get into that later.
And, then, the winds begin to blow. And all hopes for a revival was gone. Everything was just gone. The little ship ever--become waterlogged; the oars had broke. And here they was flipping, and flopping, dancing out there on the waves like a bottle stopper on a--a mighty sea. And there they was, just hopeless to ever reach shore. And they would all give up hopes. But you know what? He hadn't left them. Certainly not.
He climbed up the highest hill that He could climb, so He could look all the way across the sea. And He saw when they was in trouble. And here He come walking to them on the water.
Brethren, He did the same thing to us. He never only climbed up the highest hill; He started up a hill at Calvary. He went to Mount Calvary and climbed from there, the golden stairs, till He went plumb into eternity and set at the right hand of God. He can see the--the end from the beginning. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching me. He's watching you. He's watching this little meeting. "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst." He's trying to find a place to manifest Himself, to do something great, to do something to help you, to show you that He's here. He's not dead. He's alive again.
