113 Let’s take the character of Moses. He was born a deliverer. And he—he—he knew that, that he was born a deliverer.
114 But before I say about Moses, I’d like to make this statement, that, God always has to take any man, that will serve Him truly, to be His prisoner. A man has to surrender every ambition he’s got, everything that he is, every—every thing, his life, soul, body, will, ambitions, and everything else, and become a complete, a prisoner to Christ, Who is the Word, to serve God.
115 You might have to walk contrary to your better judgment. Maybe, in a certain organization, you might think that they could lift you up and give you something great, that you might flash. But what do you find yourself? You find yourself defeated, after while, until God can get a man that’s willing to become a prisoner to Him.
116 God is looking for prisoners. He’s always done it. You might search it through the Scripture. A man has to be a prisoner to Christ, against anything. Therefore, you cannot be connected with anything but Christ; even your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, your husband, your wife, anybody. You’re only connected with Christ, and Him only, then God can use you. Until then, you can’t.
