<TITLE>11. Par 98-111</TITLE>L-98   And then Pharaoh's daughter come out and was going to get him, you know, and she pulled him out. You know, all... You know, your mother thinks you're the prettiest child in the world; see, she should do that. But the Bible said this little boy was really pretty, really a fair little boy. And, oh, he was just screaming and kicking his little heels. He was missing his mama, see. And so you know what happened? Then God put in Pharaoh's daughter, the king's daughter, all the love that a mother could have for a little baby. Her heart just fell for him. She said, "That's my baby."

L-99 But, you know, she was a young woman. See, them days they didn't have these bottles that you, the babies, was raised on, so they had to go get a mother that was, had had a baby, and had, that could nurse.

L-100 So Miriam was right there on hand, she said, "I'll go get you the right mother."
"Well, you go get her."

L-101 You know who Miriam went and got? Moses' own mother. That's right. Yeah, went and got. That was wisdom, wasn't it? And so then went and got Moses' own mother. And she said, "I'll take and raise the little boy for you."

L-102   She said, "You know what, I'm going to give you three hundred dollars, a week, to raise that baby. And you can stay in the palace." See how God does when you trust Him, see, when you're sure of faith. That baby was a prophet, see, and she knowed.

L-103 So they went into the palace and--and she raised Moses, and the mother, the own mother, and got three hundred dollars, a week, to take care of everything. Just think of that!

L-104 And then, you know, after a while, after that went on for a little while, Moses begin to get old enough to read and write. She taught him how to read and write. And then she told him, said, "Moses, you are borned a correct child. Your father and I have prayed. God has revealed to us that you're a prophet, and you're going to be a deliverer of the people, in the days that is to come."

L-105   And you know, when he got big, then what was he? He was adopted into the king's family. Oh, my! He didn't have to...

L-106 And he looked out on his own people, and they didn't have no clothes. They were Christians, and they were crying. And them old taskmasters whipping them with whips, and the blood fly out of their back. His--his cousins and uncles, papa and mama, all of them; whipping them with whips, out there in them mud pits. And so, but Moses, being something way down in his heart, he knew that they were God's promised people. He knew it.

L-107 Now, the next thing he was going to do was to become king. He would be king over everything, a rich man, my, all the money of Egypt. And Egypt controlled the world, at that time. But, look, the Bible said, "he esteemed the reproach," to be a mud dauber like out there, a Christian. When they made fun of them, and laughed at them, kicked them. If they said anything back, they killed them. See? But Moses chose to go with that group instead of being called the king's son.

L-108 Look at that! See, because he seen the end time! See that rich young man? But he seen Jesus, like we see Him in a vision, that the end time is what is going to pay. Now, and he accepted Christ's leadership, and Moses esteemed the reproach greater treasures.

L-109   You know, sometime when you little boys in school, little boys will say bad words and they want you all to say them. You little girls, little girls will say bad things and want you all to say them. You say, "No. I'm a Christian."

L-110 They say, "Ah, you big sissy!" You know, go onto you like that.

L-111 See, stand up, say, "I'm glad to be that." See? Cause, see, that's what Moses did. He esteemed the reproach of Christ greater treasures than all of Egypt. Now let us follow him, led by Christ, and see what he did.
