<TITLE>06. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 And the rod that Moses had in his hand, it was not the rod of Moses, it was the rod of God: God's judgment rod. Moses held it out over Egypt and flies came up. He held it out and fleas came up. Wherever he dumped this rod, it was a judgment rod. It brought judgment upon a disobedient people. And the rod was Christ, the Substitute for sin and sickness.
And Moses took the judgment rod and smote the rock to bring forth water. Therefore, it was the judgment rod of God that smote Jesus and killed Him, the innocent One, and brought from Him, flowed the Holy Spirit to a perishing people now, that we'd have life.
No more do we smite the rock, but we speak to the rock. And watch the nouns and pronouns. It... He said, "Speak to the rock, and it shall bring forth his (personal pronoun), his water. Speak to the rock and it shall bring forth his water."

L-22 Maybe some of those poor Israelites... They left garlic and onions to eat Angel's food, and was complaining about it. They had left the muddy waters of Egypt to drink from the fountain of life, and were complaining about it. They had led--left the boasting physicians of Egypt to be with the great Physician, and was complaining about it. They left a bunch of people that believes the days of miracles were past to be with a bunch of people, believed that all things were possible, and still complaining about it.
Isn't that just like the church today? Come out of Egypt, come out of the world, out here in this glorious Church of the living God, the firstborn, and 'cause we have little trials, God asked us to believe and to hold on. We still complain about it.
Now notice, another thing they had done. They left the people back there that had no signs, to live under the Pillar of Fire and a Cloud, and was complaining about it. No wonder their water supply was cut off. That's what's the matter with the church today. There's too much grumbling about things, complaining. Be satisfied and keep moving on, pressing on.

L-23 And when the water supply got cut off, God asked them to go to speak to the rock, that it would bring forth its waters. Now tonight, the only thing you have to do, is speak to the Rock and it will bring forth His water. And if you're on speaking terms with Him tonight... How many's on speaking terms with the Rock tonight, let's see your hands. Fine.
Now, I want you to speak to Him about your condition, about your body, and He will bring forth the healing waters of Life, flowing through you freely that you could be healed tonight. Do you believe that? God bless you, and make you a blessing to others.
Now, where is the sick people? Are these in this aisle, and this aisle, and out here? Is that right?
Well, notice. How many of you here is sick tonight and wants to be prayed for, let's see your hands. There's more than...?... I guess it's all... It's just a--just a...?... All right. All right. Thank you, brother. This is the audience.
