<TITLE>07. Par 49-59</TITLE>L-49 Just as we know now, as a man asked me a few moments ago, about the Coming and the Rapture. We know. We've lived the time out, at the time of the Rapture is at hand, and we're looking for a rapturing faith that can pull the Church together and give it some supernatural strength, that can change these bodies that we live in. When we see a God that can raise the dead off the floor or out of the yard, and bring him back to life again and present him before us, when we see a God who can take a cancer that's eat a man to a shadow and raise him up to a strong healthy man, that ought to give rapturing faith to the people. That, when that Light flashes from the sky, and the trumpet sounds, the Body of Christ will be quickly gathered together, and changed in a moment and taken into the Heavens. Yes, there's got to be something like that happen. And our schools of theology can never produce that, yet they intellectually are all right. But you've got to meet that Light! You've got to find that Something.

L-50   And here Moses, basing his great call upon the Word, and it was great, until one day he met this Light, and the very Word Itself spoke back to him. Then he got his anointing. That anointed what he had in him, that on the inside, the--the intellects that believed it, the faith that was based upon his belief in God, that separated him from his mother. And now when he strikes in the Presence of this Light, It anointed that that he believed. See? What an anointing! And he was commissioned.

L-51 Now, we know, intellectually he had heard his mother. He knew what was going to take place, and he knew he was living in that day. But here he found out that he was a failure, so he might have... his faith might have dropped back a little bit. But then when he comes to the bush, God said, "I have heard the cries of My people, and I remember My promise to their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I have come down." "I," there, the--the personal pronoun, "I have come down to deliver them."

L-52   And now, and may I just add this if it... God forgive me if it sounds sacrilegious. "I do not work upon the earth, only through man. I--I--I am the Vine; ye are the branches. And I only declare Myself when I can find a man. And I have chose you, and I'm sending you down to take them out." See? Now notice, "I'll be with your mouth, and I... you take this rod."

L-53 And Moses said, "Can I see an evidence that You'll send me, and You've anointed me, and You're going to do these things?"
Said, "What you got in your hand?"
He said, "A stick."
Said, "Throw it down." It turned to a serpent. He fled.

L-54 He said, "Take it up." It turned back to a stick. Said, "Put your hands in your bosom." Took it out, and it was leprosy. Put it back, and it was healed.

L-55   Said, "He saw the glory of God." There was no more question, to Moses. Did you ever notice, he never run to the wilderness again? He knew he was anointed. He knew where, all these things that had been in his heart, these great fine qualities, and he... they were anointed now. He, he is ready. He is ready to go. So down towards Egypt he goes.

L-56 God had said, "I'll be with you," so that--that settles it. If, "I'll be with you," that's all Moses had to know, for this great call in his heart. And now God said, "I'll be with you."

L-57 Now, God also had vindicated his, Moses' claims. Moses' claim, "I met the Lord. And He said tell you, 'I AM' sent me." See?

L-58 Now they said, "Here is a man, another Jew, probably some of these fanatics that's been coming along all the time with all kind of scheme to take us out of bondage." And you know how people are when they're slaves, or in bondage for something, there is always some kind of a gimmick coming around, you know, to do it.

L-59 So, Moses, God promised Moses, "I'll be with you. I'll be in you. My Words will be your Words. You speak My Words and just say what I say."
