<TITLE>13. Par 118-126</TITLE>L-118 The Hebrew children, when they were going to the fiery furnace, as we spoke of this morning, when they were walking to the fiery furnace to give their life... They'd made their stand, as we spoke of this morning. But what happened to them? They said, "Our God is able." Amen. Right there they stood. They stood on what? What was their comfort? In a few minutes they'd be burnt to pieces. The furnace was het seven times hotter than it ever was het. But they had comfort. Why? Knowing this, that, "Our God is able to deliver us from that angry fire." They--their comfort was resting upon the ability of the God that they served. Oh, my.

L-119 Resting upon His ability, that's my hope and stay. I'm resting upon His ability. I'm resting upon His grace, not upon what I am, what He is. I'm resting upon His promise, because He made the promise, and He swore to the promise. And I know that we have Eternal Life. That's right.
He rested upon that. The Hebrew children said, "He's able to deliver us. Nevertheless, if He doesn't do it, we'll never bow to your image." I like that. Yes, sir.
Though He turns me down at the end of the road, any Christian could say, though He casts me away into eternal separation, yet I love Him, yet He's mine. In hell I can still think the way I think now, I'll still love Him. As the ages roll on, I still love Him; because something happened in my heart; something taken place. "If I had a life, or had I three, like the Lord Jesus Christ I long to be." That's right, 'cause something happened. He is my Life. He came to me.

L-122 Moses knew. When Moses had that responsibility of two million people, when he led them out of Egypt, how's he going to feed them: two million people, with the--the women packing a little bunch of kneaded bread on top of their head? For forty years of journey, how's he going to feed them? How many babies could be borned each night in a group of people like that? How many old and infirmed? How many clothes will they wear out? "Where will I get the clothes? Where will I feed them? I've come to them, as a leader. How will I be able to do it?"
Moses rested upon this, 'cause God said, "Surely I'll be with you." That's his comfort, "Surely I'll be with you." That's all they needed. But Moses rested upon the comfort of God's promise, "I'll surely be with you, Moses." So then it's not up to Moses to see how they're fed.
"How You going to do it, Lord?" Moses didn't ask that question.
It's not my business to ask the questions. It's not your business to ask the question. It's our business to believe Him, and obey Him, and feel comfortably while we are resting upon His promise. "God said so. That settles it."

L-126 Someone said to me once, "Brother Branham, aren't you afraid when you go to the pulpit there, and are called to a showdown? Aren't you afraid sometimes, standing in that line, there'll be a mistake?" No, sir.
I'm not afraid, because I solemnly rest upon His Word, "I'll be with you," when He said to me that night, "No man shall stand before you, all the days of your life," He said. "I'll be with you." And He's cut off every enemy. He's stood by me when I wasn't deserving to be stood by. But because He promised it, because of His grace, I've rested solemnly upon that Word. Why? Because He promised it. He promised it; He's able to keep what He has promised. That's right.
Moses knew that. "How you going to cross the sea?"
Moses said, "I don't know, but He promised that He would be with me."
So don't never cross the bridge till you get to it. Stay with God's Word, and God will open up the way, because He is the Way. Yes. Moses was comforted by the Word that God spoke to Him.
