<TITLE>11. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 How could we drink from that Rock and then not be right in our hearts? But, brother, there's millions of them this morning a doing it. That's exactly right. They're trusting because they are Baptists, or Methodists, or Pentecostal. They're trusting because they had a little funny feeling, because they spoke with tongues, because they shouted, because they danced, because they had a healing service and God healed the sick, or something they're trusting upon, because they had a revelation it was true, because they did this. Them things are all right, nothing to say against them, but that has nothing to do with your salvation, not one thing. You could pull oil out of your hand till it went by the gallon, pull blood out of your faces, and it still mean nothing. That's right. Paul said, "I could speak with tongues like men and angels, and still be lost. Though I could have wisdom and knowledge, and could stand and explain that Bible, just to make it look, just tie it together, that still hasn't got nothing to do with it.

L-37 Brother, they all drink from the same Rock; that Rock was Christ. The judgments was upon Christ that you might be privileged to come and drink. It's God's goodness to you, that you do come drink. It's God's goodness to you that you do eat from the Word, God's goodness to you that He permitted you to be baptized, God's goodness to you to make you a citizen, to give you health, to set you in the church this morning. It's God's goodness. That's all God's goodness. But what about your goodness back to God? Are you willing to submit everything, every thought, every action, everything unto Him? That's what--that's what God has done for you. What will you do for Him?

L-38 Notice, let's just read a couple more verses then I--I'll close so the pastor can get to his word. Now, look.
 ... and this same rock was Christ.
Now the 5th verse.
 But with many of them God was not pleased:...
See, He permitted them to be baptized. He permitted them to eat the Word and believe it. He permitted them to get spiritual blessings. He permitted them to drink from the spiritual Rock. All that God did by His grace, but yet God was not pleased with them. Look.
 For they were overthrown in the wilderness.
After all these experiences, after all of our great healing services we've seen, after all the great miracles we've seen performed, after all the great feelings that we've have had, the shouting and praising God, drinking from that Rock, all the good sermons that we have enjoyed and yet be overthrown... It's all over. "Depart from Me you workers of iniquity; I didn't even know you." Check up. We got a revival coming. I know this is hard. But, brother, any father that won't correct his children's not a good dad. That's right. Overthrown...
