<TITLE>08. Par 60-68</TITLE>L-60   And now when Moses went down and give them this call, and stood before Pharaoh, and told him, "The Lord God of the Hebrews said, 'Bring the children out.'" And he wouldn't let them go. So he--he performed a sign before the elders and before Pharaoh, and the signs that God did. He said, "Now, tomorrow, about this time, the sun will go down. It'll be darkness all over Egypt," and it come to pass just exactly. And then he said, "There--there is coming flies upon the--upon the land," and he stretched forth his rod and called for flies, and flies come. And he prophesied, and everything that he prophesied happened just exactly the way. It was God. See?

L-61   God had called him from his birth, put qualities in him, of great faith, and then come down with His Presence and anointed that great something in him, and sent him down with His Word, and he was properly a vindicated of his claims. No matter how many quacks had raised up, how many these other things had happened, God was speaking at... Moses was identified. Moses, what Moses said, God honored. I want you never to forget that Word. What Moses said, God honored, because God's Word was in Moses. "I'll be with your mouth; it'll speak the right things." Now, what God says--what God says, He speaks it through Moses, and it confirmed and a vindicated his claims.

L-62   Also, he was told by his mother, of his mysterious birth, and how that the time of hand come close to the hour that there was to be a deliverance. Amram and--and Jochebed, the sons and daughter of Levi, begin to pray to God to send a deliverer. And it take... when you see the time of the promise drawing nigh, it sets people to praying and to hungering. And no doubt that--that Jochebed had told him many times, his mother; as she was his tutor, also, as we know the story. And had told him how that she had prayed. "And, Moses, when you were born, son, you were a proper child. You were different. There was something taken place at your birth."

L-63 I gave a drama on it for the children, not long ago, and said, "While Amram was in the room praying, he saw an Angel pull His sword and point it towards the North, and said, 'You'll have a child, and he'll take the children North to the promised land.'" Giving a drama for the little fellows so they'd understand it; that their intellect hasn't come up to the place that you adults, and can grasp the things as the Holy Spirit reveals it to you.

L-64   Now, though his mother had told him these things, and he knowed this, yet he needed another touch. The--the teaching was fine, but he needed a personal contact.

L-65 That's what the world needs today. That's what the church needs today. That's what everyone needs, that's sons and daughters of God. In order to be that, you need a personal contact, see, Something. No matter, you know the Word is true, you know It's right; but then when it contacts, and then you see the thing done, then you know you're on the right road. See? And, watch, it'll always be scriptural. It'll stand right with the Scripture, 'cause this did.

L-66 Amram's prayer was just exactly with the Scripture. Their prayers was with the promised Word. God promised at that time to do it. They prayed for it, and here was a proper child born. And they...

L-67   Watch! Oh, how I love this! See, in the hour that Pharaoh was putting to death all the children, see, putting them to the--to the sword, the guardenian sword; they, they stabbed these little children to death, fed them to the crocodiles, the little bodies, until the crocodiles were perhaps fat upon the bodies of Hebrew children. But the Bible said, that, "The parents did not fear Pharaoh's command to kill the children." They didn't. They wasn't a scared, because they seen something in this baby, to begin with. They saw it, that this was the answer of prayer.

L-68 And now Moses had all this as a background, so Moses knew he was sent for the very purpose to deliver the children of Israel.
