Moses, when he was born, he was borned a proper child. God had him brought here. Moses had nothing to do with it. Is that right? John the Baptist, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born, he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:4, God told Jeremiah, said, “Before you was even formed in your mother’s womb, I knew you, and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet over the nations. How could he help it?

You’re that way because God made you that way. “Who taking thought can add one cubit to his stature?” Why try to impersonate anything when you—when you’re just—you’re making a—well, you’re just doing something that’s not right. See? You—if you had brown eyes, you’d never get blue; they’re brown. You can’t make your stature one inch larger or smaller.
