<TITLE>15. Par 152-161</TITLE>L-152 Notice, they didn't have anything to eat. That little bunch of bread they had, they done eat it up. "What we going to do now?"
Said, "All of you go on to bed and fast tonight." Did you ever try it? It's good sometime.
And the next morning, they went out, and there laid little wafers laying all over the ground. God had done rained some bread down out of heaven. Well, they picked it up and begin to taste it. Why, it says, "It tastes like honey and wafer." Oh, my. Does what? "Tastes like honey. They begin to eat it. Said, "Why, it's good." And they just begin to gather and eat for who wouldn't have it. Tastes like honey in the rock.

L-155 You know, I always said David, with that little sheep--shepherd's sling or a bag, scrip bag he had, he always carried honey in there, you know. And whenever some of his sheep would get sick, he'd get the honey out of there, and he would rub--rub it on a limestone rock, which was an old cure. And the first thing you know, the sheep would get up there and go to licking on that rock. And when they licked on that rock, they licking the honey off, they'd lick the limestone and get healed. Isn't that wonderful?
Why, I got a whole scrip bag full of honey here tonight, and I'm going to put it on the Rock, Christ Jesus, and all you little sheep go to licking on that Rock, "lick, lick, lick," and you're sure to come out of it. Hallelujah. Yes, sir. Oh, yes, sir. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-157 To last as long as they was in the journey. And it did last, it never did cease. Now, they was just to gather enough every night to last until the next night. If they left any over and said, "Now, we'll gather in a whole lot tonight, we won't go back to the revival tomorrow night. We'll just gather in a whole lot tonight, and then tomorrow night we'll have plenty left at home." No, no, that got wiggletails in it. Yes, sir.
That's what's the matter with a lot of people's experience. You say, "Well, brother, I used to have the joy." You've tried to store up something. Brother, what I had last night's done gone. What I got now... Hallelujah. Amen. Some people's experience is like the broken cistern, you know. That's right. Let's get a new steak every night, make a new step every night. And it represented... That's exactly the truth, brother. That's right. What we need is an old fashion Holy Ghost...

L-159 Oh, we got plenty churches, oh, my, fine members, oh, plenty of money in the churches nowadays, sure, much as you want to carry the church on. We got all that, but we ain't got no Fire.
Could you imagine going down here to the car works and building a big fine string of locomotives here, and getting a fine educated man who knows how to run it, set him down on a plush seat, and all the people's in, say, "Well, let's go." And push, push, ain't nothing to go. He reach up, say, "Better pull the whistle." He hasn't even got enough steam up to whistle. That's right.

L-161 A lot of people ain't even got steam up to say "Amen." You can have that free. Oh, hallelujah. What we need tonight... Listen, civilization come by fire, go back and find the tribes that used fire; fire makes my clothes; fire makes the light; fire heats my dinner; everything comes by fire. If you live in modern civilization, you live by fire. If you live in the Divine Presence of God, you're baptized with the Holy Ghost and Fire. Hallelujah. Right.
They throwed some steam in there, brother, just a little old boiler cooking and popping and jumping and bubbling. The first thing you know, you pull the whistle, and away down the track she goes. That's right. That's what we need.
