<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 There was Moses satisfied, ready to stay down there, but God thought, "I've got to have a conference with that prophet." So He selected a certain place. Let's think it was under another bush up on top of a mountain. God ascended--descended from the heavens and set that bush afire, and He called Moses to a conference. Moses in his weakness begin to plead, but when he saw God's glory, he was ready to go.
Sometimes when God's people is called into a conference with God, where they meet God... You know you have it in your house when the baby gets, till the doctor walks out and says, "There's no--no chance for it to live."
Your pastor says, "There's so such a thing as Divine healing." Oh, that don't stop it. You're ready for a conference, and you're a different person when you talk to God.
When you got a wayward boy or wayward girl and you can pray to a place, till you bring God on the scene, where He will meet you there in the bedroom, out there in the shed, down in the barnyard, wherever it is... When you have that conference with God, you're changed. Something happens, and people who have those conferences with God and meet them--meets God, they act silly to the world after that.

L-31 Look what a silly picture looked to Moses. Here was a great army down in Egypt (like Russia now), had the whole world conquered Egypt did and here is an old man eighty years old, whiskers plumb down to his belt line, gray hair hanging down his back, eighty years old. The next morning had his wife setting straddle of a mule with a--a young one on her arm like that, an old crooked stick in his hand, going down, a praising God as hard as he can go.
Say, "Moses, where you going?"
"I'm going down to Egypt to take over." How silly. How it looked to the unconverted heart. What he'd had her... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
God--God commissioned you to do it. No matter how silly it looked God is going to do it anyhow. The way it is with the Pentecostal man or woman. They might speak with tongues. They might run with their hands up. They might cut all kinds of shines, and even sometime they think they're drunk or crazy; but they've had a conference. No matter what it looks like to the world, God did it anyhow, so it doesn't matter.

L-32 Did not they say on the den--day of Pentecost, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter said, "They're not that way. The saloons ain't open yet, but this is that."
Well, brother, I've often made this mis--state. If this isn't that, I want to keep this till that comes. This is that.
And then if you notice, Moses on his road down to Egypt, a one man invasion. But he did it because he'd had a conference with God; and God had commissioned him and showed him His glory; and not even a nation could stand in his way. When God meets a man in a conference, and fills him with the Holy Ghost, and sets his soul on fire, there's nothing going to stand in his way. He's going down to take over.

L-33 The children of Israel on the road back, they had another conference with God, Moses did at the Red Sea. We'll call that the Red Sea conference. When right in the line of duty lay trouble. And listen Christians: There's where you'll make your fatal mistake. There's where Israel made her fatal mistake. When she asked for a law to serve God by. In Exodus 19, after grace had done provided a saviour, Moses, a prophet, done provided a lamb, done provided a covenant, done provided all these things and yet they wanted something to do themselves. They wanted some theology.
That's what's the matter today. If we'd have left Pentecost the way it was at the beginning... But we had to have something to argue about. We had to be oneness, twoness, threeness, Church of God... Oh, my. All these riding hump-backed camels of one hump, two humps, three humps and so forth. What difference does it make what--how many humps a camel's got as long we're riding in? What difference does it make, whether you're in a Ford or a Chevrolet, just keep moving.
