<TITLE>11. Par 48-52</TITLE>L-48 When Israel was in bondage down in Egypt, there was one named Moses, one day, who was herding sheep, a runaway prophet, the back of the desert. And he saw a bush on fire. And he goes up with all the intellectual that could be given him: He could teach the Egyptians wisdom...
God had called him to go back down, where he had made a failure, and in trying to achieve by his ownself killed an Egyptian, thought, "Surely, I'm the guy." But you see, when we get in our own way, trying to do anything in our own way, we're out of the program of God. We've got to take His Word and stay right with It, whether we can see It or not. Whether It looks right or not, stay with His Word. It's something that's already achieved, because God is infinite.

L-49 He cannot fail. No matter how funny it seems, and how unreal it seems, it's got to be real. Because He's--He's omnipresent, omniscient, infinite. And He... Every Word is perfect. He cannot change His program.
I could change mine; you can change yours. I can say something, have to take it back. I'm a man. You're a man and a woman. But God being infinite, He cannot make another decision about it. He's got to stay with His first decision, because every decision's perfect.
See, we're finite. We can say, "Well, I--I--I was wrong." But He can't be wrong and be God. So what action He taken on the... If He was called on the scene at one time to save a man, and He saved that man on a certain basis, if any man, any time, anywhere, meets on that same ground, God's obligated to do it again.

L-50 If He healed a man because of his faith, He will have to meet that same condition each time, or He did wrong when He saved the first man or healed the first man. See? That's what He achieved for us.
Faith, faith to believe His Word... Now, I--I might say this in closing: Moses could not have pulled those leaves off the tree and went over to the laboratory to have them examined to see why they didn't burn up. If it would've been, he wondered what the tree was sprayed with. He was a scientist himself.
The Egyptian scientists was far beyond ours now. We've... They've always been, up to this time. They built the sphinx and the pyramids and so forth that we cannot produce now. But they had a dye, they could put clothes on their mummies, that still holds it color for thousands of years. We have no such thing. See?

L-51 Now, but they were advanced in scientists--science. But Moses never tried to find the reason by a scientific search. He just took God at His Word.
That's why we're here in Grande Prairie. That's why this church stands here this morning. It's not upon our religion to try to scientifically prove that we can make the blind eyes come open, or the deaf ears unstopped. It's taking God at His Word. It's saying the same thing God said, something that's been achieved for us and we believe it. We don't have to figure it out. God figured it out.
I cannot tell you why a black cow can eat green grass, and give white milk. But she does it. I can't figure those things. I don't know. But I enjoy the milk.

L-52 I cannot understand how a sinner that's so stooped in sins, so much disgrace to even the dogs would hardly look at a--a prostitute on the street, how that the Blood of Jesus Christ can make that a lady. I cannot understand that. I accept it. He does it.
I could not understand why me, a blind man... I could not understand how Congressman Upshaw, a cripple for all them years. Florence Nightingale, of England, late Florence Nightingale, the... Not the late Flor... grand... Great granddaughter of hers with a cancer eating her up.
You have perhaps, got my book with the pictures in it. She didn't weigh sixty pounds, and she's a healthy strong woman. I cannot explain that, when the high medical professions of England and Africa had turned her down to die, and she lives today. I cannot explain that, brethren. I don't try to explain it. I just believe it.
