<TITLE>19. Par 218-232</TITLE>L-218 It's got to be God-instructed. And that's the Holy Spirit, by the Word. And the Holy Spirit will never instruct anything but the Word, because It is the Holy Spirit. Men moved, oh, wrote the Bible by the Holy Ghost, God's provided way.

L-219   Now, Israel needed a--a provision. And God give it to them, and separated the believer from the unbeliever. The same thing is today, the believer and unbeliever, separated.

L-220 Moses. I've got to skip a lot of notes now. But, Moses, a faithful servant of God!

L-221 Now listen, old timers. Some of you like me, that's getting way up in their years, listen.

L-222 Moses had served God faithfully. He had put up with all their chiding, and all the Dathans that raised up and said, "Say, there's other men that's prophets besides you. You're not the only pebble on the beach." And he knew he had God's message for them. Impersonators raised up.
Moses just said, "God, what can I do?"

L-223 And He said, "Separate yourself. I'll just swallow the thing up. Take your rods, and go in there and see which one buds. See? I'll show you who is priest, who is prophet."

L-224   And Moses had served the office faithful. Then when he got old, a hundred and twenty years he had walked faithfully with God. All these forty years in the wilderness, stood all kinds of persecutions of nations and people, constantly. And then it come to a place to die. He needed a place to die. God provided him a place on the Rock.

L-225 O God, let me die there, too, upon the Rock. The Rock was Christ, you know. God provided a place for Moses to die. That's where, only, I want to die. Let me die in Christ.

L-226 And then when he was dead, his body laying up there, he needed pallbearers. So God provided pallbearers, Angels. Why? They was the only One could take him where he was going to. Amen. God provided the pallbearers. That's right.

L-227 I am depending upon the Holy Spirit, upon the Word, the promise. Not take you out for a nice big burial. They did the rich man that way, but he lift up his eyes in hell. See? Not about a fancy burial. It don't make any difference. I want to take God's provided way. "Them that are in Christ will God bring with Him when He comes." That's the provision. God made His faithful prophet a place to die.

L-228   Enoch, after walking five hundred years with God, and God told him, "Enoch, you're not going to have to die. You want to come up home? Are you homesick, Enoch?"
He said, "Yea, Lord. I'm homesick."

L-229 Said, "Have you walked in the pesthouse down there long enough?"
He said, "Yes."
Said, "All right, just start walking."

L-230 Enoch needed a ladder. God give him a highway. That was God's way for him. Provided him a highway, upward! He didn't... He just went right up, like that. He didn't have to strain, at all. Just run right up; and the Holy Spirit, behind him, lifted him right up. He went right up the highway of holiness, right into the Kingdom of God.

L-231   Elijah, after he had condemned bobbed hair and painted faces, for all of his life, of that Jezebel, the first woman, her and the renowned president of that time, who put a poor example before the people and got them all carried off. And--and, actually, he thought he was the only one preaching that. He just carried the thing every way. And he done so much, till he was getting tired, and he wanted to go home. And he knowed God was from Above. He needed a rope to climb up, to come up to Heaven, but God sent him a chariot with two horses hitched to it. That's God's provided way to take him. Might have been looking for a rope, but God sent a chariot. That was His way. Joshua...

L-232 And at the end of the road, that was Elijah's end. That was Noah. That was, all the time, the end.
