<TITLE>10. Par 42-46</TITLE>L-42 Now. Moses, why would he doubt? He was called at birth. He was a baby when God called him. He was born in this world for a purpose. He was borned a prophet. Ought not to be no hard thing for Moses to think that--be unexpected, 'cause he ought to be expecting God to call him.
Jacob... God had just spoke to him and said, "Jacob, return home. I'll be with you and multiply you. I will make your seed like the sands of the sea." Why was he so--so unexpected then for God to come to him at that night when Laban was coming one way, and Esau another? Yet God promised him. Amen. There you are, friends.

L-43 When God makes a promise and opposition rise, that's only the test whether you've really got the Word or not. The man that's got good gold don't mind going to the testing stone. See? That's true. See, it's only a... Peter said, I believe it was, that these trials are come to test us, try us, see what we'll do with it. That's right. When you get the Holy Ghost, and--and husband's going to run you out of the house, or--or mother's going to make you leave home, them things, don't give up and go back into the world. That's only a testing time.

L-44 Jacob, he ought to have knowed better than that. But he'd kind of wasted a lot of his life away, and running around, and so forth from here to there. And he... And I like what he said there. "I crossed this Jordan with only a staff. And now, I've come back in two armies, come back so multiplied." And he said, "Here's Esau, my brother, coming this way, and my father-in-law's over here after me." And that when he got in that kind of a condition... But he went to the right place, and begin to unexpectingly, I guess, to get the answer. But God came down, and he had a wrestling match, and stayed with God, and held on until the blessing come.

L-45 I like Jacob in this way: when he actually seen something that was right, when he got his hand on something that was true, he held on to it till he got results.
Oh, if we would do that... If the church would only do that, if you'd only be convinced that it's right, and know it's God's promise, and it cannot fail... You just... It cannot fail.
Someone talk you out of it, say, "It's for some other generation. It wasn't for us." And that--that isn't Scripture. Jesus said in Mark 16, "Go ye into all the world, preach the Gospel to every creature. These signs shall follow them that believe," See? Where? How far? All the world, every creature. These signs shall follow in all the world to every creature that believes. Peter said on the day of Pentecost, "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

L-46 How are you going to do it? The Gospel must be preached unto all the world, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:49 said, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until you're endued with power from on high. After the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8)--the Holy Ghost is come upon you, then you'll be witnesses of Me in Judaea, Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth," everywhere--the Holy Spirit bearing record with signs and wonders following.
How are we going to get away from it? It's God's promise. Don't let the devil... He's slick-tongued as he can be and a very--seemingly a Scriptural read person. But he twists it to make it say something that It doesn't say. And yet, the Bible said it so plain that even a fool shouldn't err in the way. Just take a hold of God's promise and hold on to it. Hold on to that one until you get a hold of another one. When you see this one answered, then get a hold of this one. Then hold on to that one till you get another one. Then just keep on climbing.
