<TITLE>07. Par 80-92</TITLE>L-80 The Holy Spirit must be alive in the Church, always, leading the Church for the age that It's living in, to confirm the Word that's promised for that age. God spoke the Word, from the beginning, and so much for this age, and so much for that age, and certain for them age. It always happens just that way. And, see, and the Holy Spirit must be alive in the Church, to make this Church live Its day. It must be here today, to confirm this latter-day ministry, latter-day signs, latter-day pour out of the Holy Ghost. It's just got to be here to do that, and you cannot get it through the working of systems. God has a system. He is the One Who has give us the Holy Spirit.

L-81   Now, we notice here that Moses had a King, and that King was God, that anointed him. And Balaam also was under a king, Balak. And it was more like a political setup, see, Balak. Balaam, a prophet of God, he went to Balak for his information. Moses went to God for information. There was the difference.

L-82 Yet, both of them were prophets, because they were both called of God; both met God, both talked to God, and both Spirit-filled. Now I'm coming home, see. Now, they were both Spirit-filled man. Now, that is true. The Bible said that, "God met with Balaam and talked with him." See?

L-83 So we notice, each one of these prophets, both of them being prophets, man of God, they catered to their headship. Moses catered to God. And Balaam here catered to Balak.

L-84 Notice here, in typing the spiritual and the natural, how perfect it was. Moses, sent by God, in a line of duty, is met and challenged by another man of God. Could you imagine such?

L-85 But look what a setup they had up there. It was an organized nation.

L-86   And Moses was leading the children of Israel, just as God would tell them where to go, led by a Pillar of Fire, and a supernatural Being that was leading the way. And Moses was getting his information through the--the Logos, of course, that went out of God, that Pillar of Fire; which was the Angel of the Covenant, which was Christ, the Anointed One. And he was getting his message through There, and giving it to the children of Israel, on the road to a promised land.

L-87 But this man was all settled down, and he had his kingdom. He had his churches. He had everything right there in order. So he sends over to get this man, to come over and to curse this people. And notice, could you imagine, that one prophet, one man of God seeing the works of God with another man, and try to--to challenge that works of God, when he knew, ought to have knowed better. Now Balaam, first when... Balak sent to him and told him, "Come over and curse this people." Now Balak done the very thing, or...

L-88   Balaam, rather, done the thing that was right, he sought God. He sought God, first. Now, that's what he ought to have done.

L-89 And then God give him His perfect, clean-cut answer, "Don't go with him! Leave them alone. Don't you curse those people. They are blessed." Now, that ought to be enough. When God says anything, He cannot change that. Notice, His perfect will was, "Don't you go! Don't attack that people. They are My people." That was His perfect will.

L-90 But Balaam didn't like those people, to begin with. See, there you are. How many Balaam's do we have today? The same thing, same thing! They know better.

L-91 They had them in the days of our Lord Jesus. Nicodemus come and said, "Rabbi, we know You're a man sent from God, or a--or a teacher sent from God. No man could do the things that You do unless God was with him." See, they looked. There was a Balaam again, see.

L-92   Now, Balaam didn't like the people. Notice his headquarters. After they had sent some fine man over there, to tell him, "Now there is some people coming up down here. And I understand that you're a prophet, you're a great man, so you come up here and curse this people."
