<TITLE>13. Par 58-63</TITLE>L-58 How God makes people act ridiculous. That old man, dignified, now, come out of there with all kinds of college degrees. But... why, he wouldn't think about it, here at eighty years old. And the next morning here he goes down towards Egypt with his wife setting a-straddle of a mule with her young'un on her hip, going along, big old whiskers blowing like that, and a crooked stick in his hand.
"Where you going, Moses?"
"Going down to Egypt to take over." One man invasion... Why? The thing of it is, he done it. That's right. Like one man going over to take over all Russia... What was it? He run... When he was an officer in high rank, the highest officer there was next to Pharaoh in Egypt, he run from Egypt because he had no commission to deliver the children of Israel. But then he goes back with--one man against the whole thing with the commission, and did it. Why? He had a commission, and he had a confirmation of it. He could prove that God had sent him. Amen.

L-59 "What are you going to do it with, Moses?"
"This old crooked stick I got in my hand."
"Going to do what?"
"This is my commission."
"What? "
"God's give me two signs to perform before them. (That's it.) He told me to go do this." Said, "These signs shall follow (if I go down). Throw it down before Pharaoh; see what happens. It'll turn into a serpent. Then say, 'THUS SAITH THE LORD, Pharaoh, let My people go.'"
Moses went down there and throwed it down. The magicians come around to do the same thing. Then God confirmed his commission. His snake eat up the rest of them.

L-60 Did you ever think where'd them snakes go to? Where'd them--what happened to them rods? They was all in one rod. See? He eat them up, Moses' snake, because what was it? A confirmation. Amen. Hallelujah. He was--had a confirmation of his commission. He carried it out. He brought the children out, and the Red Sea got in his way and give away.
Why? He had a commission and a confirmation of it. God was with him, worked signs and wonders, for where...

L-61 If a man is commissioned by the supernatural God, the supernatural power of God will be with that supernatural commission. Not what you learn in Ph.D. and LL.D. and algebra, and all those things. That confirms your fine grammar and speech at the pulpit when you say "aaaaamen" like a calf. But let me tell you something: but when you've got the confirmation of the commission of God given you by the Holy Ghost, these signs shall follow them that believe. (Excuse that expression.)

L-62 A confirmation--God confirmed 'cause He was a supernatural God, gave supernatural power, for a supernatural deliverance. I believe it. God today is not going to deliver His people by education. He never promised to do it. He is not going to deliver them by theology. He never promised to do it. He's not going to deliver them by science. He never promised to do it. He's not going to deliver them by denomination. He never promised to do it. But He will deliver them by the power, supernatural power of changing their lives and molding them into children of God. Amen. Moses had a commission; he had signs to confirm his commission. Now, Jesus the same way, said, "These signs..."
Moses said, "What can I tell them? How will I tell them that the God of their fathers sent?"
Said, "What you got in your hand?"
Said, "A stick."
Said, "Throw it down. Put your hand in your bosom, come out... Preach Divine healing to them; that's a confirmation. Sure. I'll give you two signs."

L-63 Now, that same God can't change. When He sent His church out to deliver the people out of this hellish Egyptian bondage that--all these things that's got the people in today, He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Don't be afraid to lay that Word out there, because it's the truth. It's God's Word. Don't let the devil explain it away from you, because it's not right. He keeps His Word. Now, I believe that with all that's in me.
