<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-37-3 I can see his son come around and say, "Dad, you know..." (Stroking his hand over his long gray hair, you know, and he was hundreds of years old, you know, setting there.) Said, "I know you're an old patriarch. I--I love you, daddy, but could--could it've been possible you could've been a little bit wrong?"
"Oh, no, no."
"Why?"
"God said so."
"Well, daddy, this is six days that we've set up here, setting up here in this big old dry ark, setting right here. And it's--it's all pitched inside and out, and we've been all these years building on it; and you stood out there and preached till you turned gray and bald, and here you are up here now trying to say such-and-such a thing, and the people are laughing and throwing rotten tomatoes and things against the side of it. Look there what you're doing. Why you know..."
"Be patient, son."
"Are you sure?"
"It will rain."
His daughter-in-law said, "Father, you know I..."
"It will rain."
"But we've been all these years waiting; we've been preparing, and you told us it was going to rain a week ago. And we're in here, and the doors are all shut, and here we are walking around in here, and the sun just scorching right down like it was."
"But it will rain."
"How do you know?"
"God said so."

L-38-2 Now, when you get that way, add it. But if you ain't got it that way, don't--don't try to add it. It won't work. It won't work on healing; it won't work on nothing else. See? It's got to blend in with the same material it's vulcanized to. That's right. You've got to add it: patience with God's promise. Yes, sir. Noah believed it and he had patience with God a hundred and twenty years.

L-38-3 Moses--he had patience with God. Yes, sir. Said, "Moses, I've heard the cry of My people. I've seen their afflictions. I'm coming down to deliver them. I'm going to send you down." And the little contrast there between him and God, and God showed him His glory. He said, "Here I go." When he once seen the glory of God (You see?), he had faith.
Said, "What's that in your hand, Moses?"
He said, "A stick."
He said, "Throw it down."
It turned into a serpent. He said, "Oh, my."
He started... Said, "Take it up, Moses. If I'm able to turn it to a snake, I can turn it back again." Ahh. Amen. If God can give me a natural life, He can give me a spiritual Life. If God can give me the first birth, He can give me the second birth. Amen. If God can heal this by Divine healing, He can raise it up again to His glory in the last days. That's right.
"I can throw this stick down and turn into a serpent; I can turn it back to a stick."
"Take it up by the tail." Moses reached down and got it; there it was a stick. Glory. He begin to add knowledge then. See?
"What's the matter with your hand, Moses?"
"Nothing."
"Put it in your bosom."
"All right, what about it?" white with leprosy...
"Oh, Lord, look at my hand."
"Put it back in your bosom, Moses." Put it back like that, turned out just like...
He begin to add them like this then. See? Yes, sir.

L-39-2 He got down there, and the first contrast he got down there. Come out there and said, "The Lord God said, 'Let my people go.' Pharaoh, I want you to know this: I've come as a representative of God. You must obey me."
Pharaoh said, "Obey? Do you know who I am? I'm Pharaoh. Obey you, a slave?"
Said, "You'll obey me or perish. You'll do either one you want to." All right...?... Why? He knowed what he was talking about. He had a commission. He was down there; he'd talked to God. He had faith. He knowed where he was at.
You want me to obey you? Get out of here."
"I'll show you."
"Show me a sign." He throw a stick down: turned into a serpent.
