Then I read a book dealing with the diary of Phineas, Charles Phineas.
And I heard, I read there, that he was a lawyer. And he came into his
office early, as was his want, and he wanted to meet with God before the
rest of the staff arrived.

And as he was spending time with the Lord in his office, the very same
experience came upon Charles Phineas. And he had to cry out, those of
you who have read his journal, he had to cry out, Lord, stop it, you
killed me. I got back into my own bed after a long time, and I lay in my
bed.

I was sounding like a little boy after a big smacking. You know how they
grow. And I lay in my bed like that, like a little boy.

And I tell you this, the presence of God was made to live in me inside
of me. I could have had the baptism of the Spirit, so far as I know,
that night, because I don't believe that St. James is the initial
evidence of the Holy Spirit baptism. Boy, I speak in tongues.

Moses, one of the headings on these notes here, it's in Exodus 33. Would
you like to go there? This is one of the things that I want to share
with you regarding Moses.
