<TITLE>22. Par 80-85</TITLE>L-80 Moses was in question. That runaway prophet back out there at the backside of the desert, he didn't know what to do. Oh, he was all flusterated. Said, "Lord, I can't speak. I stammer. I--I can't do it. I can't go down there."
But when God said, "I'll be with you," (Amen.) no uncertain sound about that. "I'll be with you." Amen. That settled it. Moses was on his road, nothing uncertain about that.

L-81 David, when he stood there by the side of Goliath, looking at him, and seen that bunch of tin soldiers (supposed to be God's army) standing there, cowards, backing off, David said, "The God that delivered the lion into my hand, and I slew the bear, that same God will deliver that uncircumcised Philistine in my hand." Now, not, "I hope He does, probably He will." He said, "He will do it." Nothing uncertain about that.
There is a sound that is certain, and that certain sound is God's voice. Hallelujah. Nothing uncertain about that. David said, "He will do it."

L-82 John was so sure, out there in that wilderness, that he'd see Jesus Christ. He was so sure he'd see Him; he said, "He's standing in your midst now, and you don't know Him." He was positive. Not, "I hope He's out there. Perhaps He will come while I'm yet living."
John had a message straight from God. He didn't go away to school to learn anything, he went to the wilderness to his knees. His message was too important to take some school's idea. So he went till he found God, and God told him, said, "Upon Whom thou shall see the Spirit descending and remaining, He will baptize with the Holy Ghost and fire."
John was sure of it. So he was so sure he said, "He's standing in your midst now, One that you know not." Amen. He was there, but He hadn't manifested Himself yet.

L-83 How I'd like to say something right here. Amen. I believe He's here, but He hasn't manifested Himself yet. I believe Christ is here. I believe in the form of the Holy Ghost, He's right here now in the fullness of His power to do anything that we ask Him to do. He said so. But when He manifests Himself... Remember, He appeared before He come. But we'll see Him come one of these days, that glorious One that we've looked for. Yes. Amen.

L-84 Jesus was positive of what He done. In Saint John the 5th chapter, the 19th verse, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself." That's the flesh that God created, His own Son. You believe He was the Son of God, created? Sure. God created Hisself a body, a tabernacle, to live in. He was the Son of God. And He said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself. But what He sees the Father do, that doeth the Son likewise." Then He was positive, because God was showing Him what to do. He was certain of Himself. Oh...

L-85 How Elijah was certain. Went out there and cut them bullocks and laid them up down there, told them, "Call your god, Baalim." Said, "Go ahead, call a little longer. Maybe he's pursuing. Maybe he's on a fishing trip somewhere. Maybe he just got hard to hear all at once." Walked up and down there. Why?
They said, "'Cause, oh, he's a man of faith." He's a man saw a vision. No man done anything without seeing it first in a vision: Jesus never Himself. He said He didn't.
But what did he say? When he laid all them out there, he said, "Lord, I've done this at Your command." Amen. He was certain. Said, "Now, Lord, let it be known that Thou art God, and I am Your prophet." And the fire of God begin to fall according to his prophecy: "Let the God that speaks by fire answer." No uncertain about that. He knowed what He was doing.
