<TITLE>12. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 And sometimes when you meet God, it makes you act ridiculous to the outside world. Could you imagine Abraham going out wanting to--telling the people he was going to have a baby by his wife. But he had to separate himself from all the unbelief.
And that's what God calls to every man or woman. When He meets you, and forgives your sins, and calls you to be His servant, He expects you to separate yourself from all unbelief. Disassociate yourself from all things that's ungodly. Look not at the world. Come out from among the world. "Touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you, saith the Lord. And you'll be My sons and daughters, and I'll be God to you."
Yeah. Come out from among unbelief. Separate yourself. Segregation. God is a segregationalist. Called Israel out. He called His people out. He calls His... The very word Church means called out.

L-48 Now, He's a segregationalist. God don't want His children mixed up with the world or the things of the world. But they had the baby just the same.
Now, Moses. He was an intellectual giant. He had been taught by his mama that he was going to be the deliverer. And he knew it was coming close to the time that God had promised Abraham that his seed would sojourn four hundred years in a strange land, would be brought out by a mighty hand.
And his mama, maybe, told him and said, "Moses, when you were a little baby, your father, Amram, when he was working in the brick kiln, he'd pray every night, all night long, 'God send a deliverer.'"
One night in a vision upstairs, he seen a great Angel stand with a sword and pointed north, and said, 'I'm ready to take the people out.' And I conceived you, Moses, right under the threat of Pharaoh. And I hid you in the bulrush, and right amongst the gators that was fat upon the babies of Egypt. But God delivered you. And you were a proper child when you were born. You were born to be a prophet, Moses. You are God's servant. And then you're raised up here under Pharaoh's doorstep. You're the next Pharaoh. But remember (as Jochebed would've told him), remember the commandments of the Lord."

L-49 Then Moses studied and he was a great military man. He was an intellectual giant. My, how the intellectuals... He could--he was so wise, he could teach the Egyptians wisdom. But then he tried to deliver the children in his own way. You can't do that. You've got to forget your way and take God's way.
That's what I'm trying to say tonight. Divine healing isn't based upon some mental tantrum. Neither is it based upon some oil out of somebody's hands, or some hocus-pocus; Divine healing is based upon the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, the Atonement. "He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed." So it's upon the Atonement. And as long as we try to achieve a church for God, we're going contrary, against His will. We must let the Spirit come into our lives, take over our lives. Let Him have His way in our heart.
Our great churches, I have nothing against them. But yet, brother, in all of it, we still need God. We got the best churches we ever had, the greatest ministers we've ever produced, educational giants, but where is the power of His resurrection? Where is that Jesus that said, "The works that I do, shall you also?" Where is--where are they at?

L-50 Notice. Moses then tried within himself and slew an Egyptian. And what happened? When he slew the Egyptian, he got scared and run into the desert, and found a beautiful young Ethiopian woman out there, by the name of Zipporah. And he married her, and settled down, and had a child, little Gershom, and was probably well satisfied, because Jethro's herd of sheep, he would inherit.
And he'd got old, and the vision of deliverance was all passed from him. And he was satisfied now to just be an ordinary sheepherder. And he was eighty years old.
