<TITLE>08. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 And Elijah, when the Spirit of the Lord come on him, he saw a vision. He said, "Now, when the vision comes, salvation come to the kings at that time, for the Holy Spirit had spoke to the prophet at that time." He said, "Now, go out here... You're not going to hear any wind; you're not going to see any rain; but I want you to dig a whole lot of ditches. And all in the morning, about the time of the sacrifice, they'll be filled with water." Said, "Dig a whole lot of ditches."
Now, they sent--went back and got every man... I could imagine getting him a shovel and getting started, right out in the hot burning desert to dig ditches for water. You're not going to hear any sound of wind. You're not going to see any rain falling, but yet there's going to be water. Now, how is there going to be water in this burning sandy desert? How could you imagine going in the middle of the Mojave Desert in the midst of August and digging a trench, and there's not going to be any sound of rain; there isn't going to be any sound of wind; but yet the trench is going to be filled up full of water? Why? God said so. That's exactly why.
He just makes the carnal mind foolish in His sight and brings to pass and to naught, those things which seems to be so real to the carnal mind. And He takes those things which seems foolish to the carnal mind and makes then real. "Right out in the middle of that desert now, start digging ditches."

L-34 Well, every man dug his ditch. Well, now it depend on how much water that fellow got for himself, and for his cattle, for his horses, depend how dig--how big a ditch he dug, 'cause the ditch was going to be filled full. I can imagine seeing him start digging. That's what we ought to be doing tonight, is doing some digging, getting ready for an old fashion pouring out one of these days.
And I can see the fellow dig. The first thing you know, he'd throwed out a few shovel fulls. He hit a big old clinker. What was it? He pulled it out, some big old tin pan of some sort. Looked down there at it, and here's what it was. One of the members of the church said, "Now, looky here, John, I know you're sick, but if you go over there, the days of miracles is passed." As long as you let that old tin pan lay in the ditch, you'll never be able to fill water. Throw the thing out, so it--water can take its place. Water represents life.

L-35 You dig on down there and here comes somebody saying, "Now, be careful. It's mental telepathy. I know a many one lost his life trusting in such stuff as that." Just dig the thing out. Deeper you dig, the more water you'll have. And that's--what's we need tonight, is a good old fashion getting-rid-of all the little old spooks and things the devil throws around you. Open up both arms and say, "God, send down a rushing mighty wind. Fill my soul full of Thy Waters of Life."
'Cause this one thing the prophet knew, that out in that wilderness, one time when Israel passed through there, not many years before there... That Rock was still in the wilderness out there, and that Rock that could produce that water. And the same Rock that was in the wilderness, is right here tonight, in the form of the Holy Spirit, to bring forth waters of Life to every hungry, parching soul. Sin sick, or dying in cancer, whatever you are, God's here to produce the waters of Life for you. It's already smitten. It's running. Dig out your ditch. Throw all the unbelief out, for the Bible said, "Whosoever will, let him come and drink of the waters of Life freely." If he's Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, whosoever will, let him drink freely of the Spirit of God. Amen.
