<TITLE>07. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 Now, they had forgotten all of this. And this... They left the great murmur with Moses and with God...?... "Why did you bring us out here? Why do we have to stay here? I'd rather be back down in Egypt any time. Why didn't we die down there? Let Pharaoh kill us, be better than being out there."
If that isn't like the complaints of the church today. So easy they forget the hand of God. So easy they forgot it. Listen, what taken place? Oh, it's tremendous. "We'd rather died down there."
Look, those people had left from eating onions and garlics of Egypt, and God had rained bread down out heaven--Angels' food--and fed them with it. And they were still complaining. God has give the church Angels' food--Holy Spirit--and they still complain about something all the time...?...

L-27 Left onions and garlics to eat Angels' food, that Angels prepared in heaven and rained down on, the food that they had eat. And still they were complaining. They had left the old muddy rivers of the Nile, drinking that old muddy water, and was drinking from a spiritual Rock of pure salvation and water, and was complaining about it. Yes, always complain because a little hard times struck them. Oh, that... Just as soon as you have your first trial, come in the meeting, see the Holy Spirit, go back out and have a tummy ache, and say, "Well, maybe I never got healed." Shame on you! Surely, you got healed, if you believe it. Your feelings has nothing to do with it; it's your faith is what we look at. That's what God sees, is your faith, not your feelings.
Jesus never did say, "Did you feel it?" He said, "Did you believe it?" That's the idea.

L-28 But they left the boasting physicians of Egypt, down there saying, "Oh, we're the doctors; days of miracles is passed," to be with the Great Physician. And forty years journey, hundreds and thousands of little babies born, all kinds of sickness, and old people, there wasn't a feeble one among them, with that one Great Physician. Hallelujah! And still complaining. They had left the place down there, where the--where they said, "The days of miracles is passed."
That's where you left. You left those places that says, "The days of miracles were passed." They left that to be with the--out here where signs and wonders follows the believer, and still they were complaining. Isn't that just like the people today?

L-29 But instead of all that, in the face of all of that, when God seen the mercy for the people... Moses fell on his face, that prophet, and said, "Lord God, sure, they've sinned. But hear their... Give them another chance."
What happened? God told him, "Rise up and go out yonder, and speak to the rock, and it'll bring forth its waters."

L-30 Now, if that wasn't... Wouldn't a carnal mind pick that up as a foolishness? What would the carnal mind do? Why certainly... The rock was the driest place in the wilderness. Well, if there's going to be any water, it would be in the spring--not up there on that rock. God does things just vice versa sometime from what man thinks is right. That's the reason man hasn't got a right to lead God's people; it takes the Holy Spirit to do it for a filled church. Certainly.
