<TITLE>08. Par 95-108</TITLE>L-95 Now, Moses didn't throw up his hands, say, "Well, I guess it's all wrong." He stayed there and waited on God. He stayed true. No matter how many impersonators there was, he stayed true. And when he stayed true to his commission, to bring those people out of that place. When the water gate got in his way, God let him possess it, and He opened the gate by the Pillar of Fire that was leading him. He took the people on to the promised land.

L-96   Joshua, another great leader. Only two out of... went to the promised land, Joshua and Caleb. They came to a place called Kadesh, which was the center of the world at that time, insomuch that that was the judgment seat. And, oh, they sent out twelve spies to look at the land, and twelve of them come back.

L-97 Ten of them said, "Oh, it's too much of a job. We just couldn't do it. Well, them people, we look like grasshoppers by the side of them."

L-98 But what did Joshua do? He stilled the people. He said, "Wait a minute. We are more than able to take it, no matter how little we are, or how much in the minority." What was he doing? He was standing true to that promise, "I give you this land," but you fight every inch of it.

L-99 Do you believe that, mother? God has give you your healing, but you'll fight every inch of it. "Everywhere the soles of your feet sets, that I give you for possession." Footprints means "possession." It's all yours, every promise belongs to you, but you'll fight every inch of the way in now.

L-100   Now, Joshua knew what God said. He was a seed of Abraham. See? He said, "I believe that, that God give us the land, and we're more than able to take it." And because he stood the test, against the whole group of Israelites, all the tribes and all the people moaned and cried. Joshua said, "Keep still! God made the promise."

L-101 No matter how big you are, and what the opposition is, and what the doctor said, God give the promise. It's up to God to do it.

L-102 What did he do? When he come down to the river of Jordan, he possessed the gate. That's what he--he did.

L-103 Jericho, closed up like a turtle in a shell. What did he do? He possessed the gate.

L-104 Even one day when his enemy was trying to take him, he possessed the gate of his enemy so much that he commanded the sun to stand still. And the sun obeyed him, and never turned for twenty-four hours.

L-105   God is true to His promise, no matter what He has to do; bankrupt the Heavens before He would let His Word go defeated. He never made a promise that He can't keep. "I'm the Lord heals all thy diseases. If they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." Amen. "If thou canst believe, all things are possible."

L-106 Joshua believed it, though God had to stop the earth from turning. Held it there by some other Power, His Own power; that the world never turned for twenty-four hours, till Joshua avenged himself upon his enemy. He took the gates. Certainly, he did. God is ever true.

L-107   Now I wish we had time to get to more heroes, but I got about ten minutes now. Look, all these precious heroes, as they were, and great warriors of faith, they all died at the gate of death. They all perished, right at the gate of death.

L-108 Then come along the Royal Seed of Abraham. They were all the natural seed, from Isaac. But here come the Royal Seed of Abraham, which was Christ, Abraham's Seed of faith; what we're supposed to be, just see how whether we are or not. The natural seed only was a type. All others was born of natural birth, but He come a virgin birth. See, that wasn't of the seed of Abraham, then, a Jew. He come by the seed of faith of the promise. And, then, we're supposed to be His children, through this Man.
