<TITLE>10. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 Heavenly Father, we come in the Name of the Rock: the Rock in a weary land, the shelter in a time of storm. We pray, O Lord God, that the Rock will overshadow us with His power and mercy, that it--every sick person in here may be healed today. May they speak to the Rock. There are men and women setting here suffering with cancer, some of them blind, some crippled. The doctor says there's no hope for them; then let them speak to the Rock.
Moses without hope, they was in the wilderness where no water was; but they spoke to the rock, and the rock gave forth a gusher, and they all drank, and they lived. Lord God, may we drink from that fountain today that never runs dry. Oh, in this Beulah land of salvation, where we've been called out of Egypt's garlics and stinkpots, into this great wonderful place where it's Beulah land, where the Rock lays, eating Angels' food and drinking from a fountain that never runs dry...
God in heaven, grant this blessing to the people. May they see today, that the Rock still lives; the Rock resurrected from the dead; the Rock is in the land today. He's a shelter in the time of storm, and may the people run into it and are safe. Grant it, Lord. Hear the prayers of Your servants as we pray and call upon you. In the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-41 Oh, my, speak to the Rock. If you're sick, speak to the Rock. If the doctor says, "I can't do no more for you," then speak to the Rock. If the church says, "If you shout in my church, I'll turn you out," then speak to the Rock. If the denomination wants to excommunicate you, speak to the Rock. Amen! When death comes stealing in your room, speak to the Rock. He will make a way and divide the waters of Jordan as He did for them, and you'll walk over on dry land.
Speak to the Rock; that's all you have to do. Don't have to smite It no more; just speak to It. Just call on His Name. "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that I'll do." Amen! Speak to the Rock, and It'll bring forth Its waters. Speak to It; look at other's speaking to It. You without the Holy Ghost, look at them that's spoke to It: Methodist, Jehovah Witness, Baptists, all such. Speak to the Rock; the Rock's no respecter of person, no respect of time. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and will ever more be the same Rock that's promised to supply all we have need of, from here to the promised land. Amen. You believe that?

L-42 (Did you give out prayer cards? Huh?) Billy said they give out prayer cards. All right, let's find out. You sick people, you come this afternoon, come doing this: in condition to speak to the Rock. I'm not the Rock; I'm just His outlet. See? Our ministries are just outlets where the... It's a pipe where the water flows through. Don't glorify the pipe; glorify the water that you're getting out of the pipe, for the water comes from the fountain. Glorify the water. Then remember, it couldn't be me that healed. The pipe doesn't give you a drink; the stem that comes through, it doesn't give a drink; it only supplies the water. You drink from that Rock, that smitten Rock, that's already been smote.
Moses smote that rock with the judgment rod of God, and the judgments of God smote the Rock, Christ Jesus. And when Moses smote the rock, there was a cleft in the rock--always there was a cleft in that rock from that time forward. And when Christ was smitten, there was a cleft in the Rock. Out of that rock, they found honey when they were hungry; they found water when they were thirsty, for it was a smitten rock. That same Rock today has water and honey, and abundance of life, joy unspeakable full of glory, Divine healing, powers of God to set a man free from sin. "Speak to the Rock, and "it" will bring forth "His" waters." Amen.
