<TITLE>29. Par 265-274</TITLE>L-265 Now, let's take another fellow in the days of Moses. Now, Moses had tried through educational programs; he'd tried through military programs to deliver Israel; because he knowed he was born to do it. It was the hour for him to do it. But he tried his own way, his education, and forming his big society, or something another, making a military proposition out of it. With his own ethics, he failed. Now, listen close.
But one day, God got ahold of him by a burning bush. And look how--how unreasonable God did that man. Now, God pulled him up to the burning bush and He talked to him. Now, God never talked to him before; he just learned it out of a book. So God talked to him.
That's the reason Noah knowed what he was talking about. God talked to him. That's how he knowed, He heard it from God. See?

L-268 And now one day when, Moses, trained, polished... Oh, my, was he a scholar, my, and was he a military man. And he thought, "With all of my scholarship. I've got a PH.D., a D.D.D., a double L.D., and all the D.D.'s that can be thought of. But now, surely I'll know how to do this, because I'm the--I'm the brains of Egypt."
I don't care what you're the brains of, it's no good. When it comes to God's, it's foolishness. Your brains is foolishness to God. See? "Because My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts are higher than your thoughts," saith God. See? So your best brains...

L-270 Like Paul said, "I don't come to you, preaching to you words with enchanting words, like the wisdom does. Because if I did that, your hopes would be built..." Now, Paul could do that, 'cause he was a smart man. He said, "I could do that. But what was it? You'd rest upon the philosophy of man. But I come to you, in the power and the resurrection, with the Holy Ghost, that your faith would be in God." There you are. 'Cause that's a uncertain sound, the other one is. But this is certain true.

L-271 Well, then Noah had--or (Pardon me.) Moses had tried by an uncertain sound, his ethics. His education, it was uncertain, But one day he heard a certain sound. Oh, now I feel religious. Yes, he heard a certain sound, for he saw a--a Light hanging in a bush, "Take off your shoes, where you're standing, 'cause it's holy ground." He said, "I heard the cries of My people, and I remember My Word." Amen. Nothing uncertain about that. "I remember what I told Isaac, and Jacob, and Abraham, and all of them. I remember My promises; I don't forget them. I seen the cries of them people, and the time is at hand. I'm going to send you, Moses."
Moses said, "How could I ever go back?"
Listen. "Certainly I will be with you." Nothing uncertain about that.
"As I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. See? As... I will be with you." There's nothing uncertain about it. "I'll be with you."

L-274 He told Joshua, years later, "As I was with Moses, so will I be with you."
"How am I going to take those great walled cities?"
"I--That's not for you to figure out. I was with Moses; I'll be with you. And everywhere your foot treads is possession. Just keep walking. See? Nothing's going to stand before you all the days of your life." Nothing uncertain about that. "I'll be with you. Surely I will be with you," said God to Moses.
Now, I want you to notice when a man hears the voice of God, personally hears the Word of God... Now, you can hear it. You say, "Well, God has to come to meet me." Yes, sir, I could sit here and preach till--till I fell dead in the pulpit, ten, twenty, thirty, fifty years from now, you'd never hear it until God reveals the Word to you. You can set right in your seat. You don't have to be by a burning bush. Maybe you're closer than you think you are. Just set there and let God speak to you in the Word.
