<TITLE>13. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 Moses, a runaway servant. He didn't... He was supposed to deliver the children of Israel; but he run away. And he didn't now how to do it; his military training wouldn't let him do it. But one day, he met God. He was a changed man. And a man meets God, it makes him act different than he ever did act. Could you imagine a Moses, how ridiculous, when you meet God, what will It make you act.
Billy, did you say we had ten minutes, about? Ten minutes, all right. How did it make... Look at Moses. Here one day he's a sheepherder, a prince of Egypt, run away on the backside of the desert, back on the backside of the desert herding sheep, afraid to go to Israel, or go down to Egypt, rather. And here he is on the backside of the desert.

L-48 The next morning, here he is with his wife setting straddle a mule, with a young'n on her hip, whiskers hanging this low, eighty years old, his bald head shining, a stick in his hand. Here he goes, "Glory to God, hallelujah," walking.
"Where are you going, Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over." One man invasion... Why? He had met God. Where he was running, now he was going back to take over. And he done it, because he had met God. And from that time, the burning bush, Moses was a different character: after he met God. That's right.

L-49 Mary, the little virgin, never had a woman bore a child, without being a--a intercourse with man. Never had she never been able to--to ever be able to have a child without natural pollen. But she believed God, and before she felt any life or anything else, the Angels word was good enough for her; she met the Lord. Said, "Hail, Mary, blessed art thou amongst women. You're going to have a child, knowing no man."
She said, "Behold the handsmaid of the Lord." And from that time. Mary never waited till she was positive.
Why would we wait till we were positive. We've got to see our hand come straight, our foot come straight, the bellyache stop: not her. The Angel of the Lord, His message was good enough for her. She started around testifying, "Hallelujah. I'm going to have the baby, knowing no man." Why? She met God. That was the difference!

L-50 Peter, when he met God, and Jesus revealed to him who He was; from that time he was an apostle.
Paul, the little hook-nosed Jew, sarcastic, going down there with a letter in his pocket to arrest all them people shouting and speaking in tongues. He was going to put them in jail; he had a--a order from the high church to do it. But he met God. And from that time (Oh, my.) he was a different man, when he met God.
One time, a dirty stinking leper laid at the gate. And Jesus came through. And he said, "If thou wilt, Thou can make me clean." From that time he had no leprosy. Why? He met God. That's it.

L-51 A immoral woman met God one time at the well. She had five husbands and living with the sixth. He told her the very secret of her heart, and from that time she was a messenger of God to the city. "Come, see a Man Who told me what I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?"
When you meet God it changes things. From that time it changes things. It certainly does. It does it for all people.
There was a blind man, one time met God, and from that time he could see, certainly, as soon as he met God.
Now, we got a lot more we could say, but to hurry, I want to make one statement here. Death met God one time, and it never was the same afterwards. The devil always doubted that being the Son of God. He thought, "If that was Him up there on the mountain, why, didn't He perform a miracle before me?" When He took Him down there, and put that rag around His eyes, and hit Him on the head, and said, "If you are a prophet, if you can discern the thoughts of the heart, now you tell us who hit you. We'll believe you."
