<TITLE>15. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Now, we'll take another one: Moses. Moses, oh, he was a trained theologian. He really knew, 'cause he could--he could teach the Egyptians wisdom. He was so smart. And he knew that he was born, raised up to be a deliver of Israel. So he thought he could take his theological training and really go out there and do it. But he found out he was a failure.
And when we try to educate the church to fellowship, when we try to educate the people to Christ, we are just batting the air. We'll never get nowhere. There's only one way that a man and woman can come to Christ; that's through the Blood of Jesus Christ and being borned again. That's the only avenue that we can walk. When you come into that, then you receive genuine Holy Spirit faith that makes you call anything contrary to God's promise as though it was--wasn't there.
No matter what the circumstances is, how sick you are, what the doctor said... He give you up. "You're going to die with cancer and you got heart trouble, might go at any minute." You don't even look at that. You look at what God said. You stay right there on what God said. That's... He said that, and that settles it all the time. Now, you can't bluff it. You've got to really believe it.

L-47 You say, "Oh, yes, I believe it." Oh, I've seen people say that, and if faith was ink, you couldn't dot an "i." They just--just simply--just worked up. It's hope instead of faith. Genuine faith don't take "no" for an answer. It's--it's got hairs on the chest; it's big and burly. It's speaks and everything else sets down. That's all.
If the old... You know, feelings raise up and say, "You--you don't feel any different. You--you just..."
You say, "Shut-up." Faith will. "Set down." God took over. That's it. Now, it... "Well, your stomach's still hurting."
"Shut-up! Don't even feel it." That's it.
That's... Don't--don't be... Sure, it's looking at what God said. God said so; so faith believes it. If you can just hold on faith, on and let--just let faith take over, it's makes the rest of them look like little dwarfs. It just makes them set down because He's the boss. Got great big brawny muscles, and I tell you, everything else, all feelings and superstitions and little isms and things, just sets down when faith takes over. He just... He's the boss. That's right.

L-48 Now, and they're... Of course, Moses thought that he had that. But when he went in his own way, he found out he made an error. And went back and he married a beautiful little Ethiopian woman and had a son back there, Gershom. And he'd had settled down to a good life, to raising sheep and knew that he'd be heirs soon as Jethro had died, he'd have all the herds himself. And so he was pretty well satisfied.
But one day he was walking back on the back side of the desert; there's something happened that never did happen in the seminary. They was something that happened that he'd never heard of before. He seen a bush burning. He went aside to see what it was. And a Voice spoke out of there, said, "Take off your shoes, Moses. The ground you're standing on is holy." Oh, my. "I've heard the cries of My people. I've seen their affliction. I remember My Word. I remember what I told Abraham. What his seed would sojourn for four hundred years in a strange land. That time's up. I remember My Word. All right, Moses, I'm sending you down."
