<TITLE>10. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 They went out. As soon as they got over there they begin to complain. They'd only been out in the desert three months; they begin to say, "Oh, if I had some garlic, if I had some leeks." They were out there and had substituted Angel's food for garlic, and was complaining. Why, their gastronomics wasn't able to digest Angels' food. That's what the matter today; we haven't had an old-time, Holy Ghost revival, and our spiritual gastronomics is not able to digest real good, old fashion Holy Ghost hold on revival...?... We need a doctor's prescription; that's Doctor Jesus' prescription that will get us right. Certainly. They don't hold on; they go on; and they go back. Just the first little thing rise up, complain, fuss, stew. They... Take a church that gets one of them things started in it, it's like a cancer, it'll kill the whole church. That's right. We ought to get that started and get it out.
Now, when they wasn't gone very far... Now, think, eating Angel's food, come down from heaven and was complaining. And they were drinking a waters from a smitten rock, the pure, holy waters of Life, and was complaining they wanted the muddy water of the Nile. So is it today.

L-44 People say, "Oh, preacher, you're too narrow-minded. You'll take all the pleasures away from the church when you go to preaching against these kind of things and that kind of thing." Brother, if the church stood where she professes to stand, she would love the things of God and hate the things of the world, not our mixed multitude. That's what's the matter today, a mixed multitude, a people who desires the things of the world and wants to pitter along with the church. That's what causes it when they stumble and fall; that's what shuts off prayer meetings; that's the way it organize with all kind of societies in the church and take out the altar off the...?... and the only fire it's got's in the basement.
That's what tells a preacher to preach fifteen minutes and make it on rosaries or red birds or something. Why, I'll tell you a borned again church of the living God wants to hear the Gospel, 'cause a man that's borned of the Spirit of God... Jesus said, that the... "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Certainly did. Mixed multitude...

L-45 They went up. Yes, they had left a great boasting physicians of Egypt, boasting in their material ideas, in their mechanical devices, in their medical science, in the way that they had, and the mechanics; they were boasting of their physicians. They left that to journey with the Great Physician, and were still complaining. Isn't that just like the mixed multitude today?
And the first thing you know, they come to a place called Kadesh-Barnea. Kadesh-Barnea is the judgment seat, was the judgment seat of the world. The real name of the place, the meaning of it was a great, super spring that bubbled up by this, a bunch of palm trees that stood in the desert, where some small huts, called a city, a dwelling place of--of a nation of people, or a little handful of people. And all along there, there were little bitty springs that bubbled up everywhere, fed from this one great big spring.

L-46 What a beautiful picture of a church. Out on the desert where everything had to come to Kadesh to get water. Everything had to come to Kadesh to get water, and therefore the one big spring, and fed the other springs. That is a type of heaven; that is a type of the judgment seat of God, where that the judgment begins at the house of God. And where this one great spring fed and the other little springs run out from it, means the heaven being the judgment seat of Christ, and all the churches is giving life, water, and the judgment seat wherever people comes to the church to be judged.
