<TITLE>09. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 Joshua, one day he was bothered; God had led him across the sea, and we are... across the Jordan river. How was he going to take this land? How was he going to take Jericho? He was walking around one afternoon, trying to figure out a way that he could descend the walls or something. After while, he saw a Man standing there; he pulled his sword and went to meet Him. The Man pulled His sword and come to meet him.
He said, "Are you for us, or are you for our enemies?"
He said, "I am the Captain of the host of the Lord."
Joshua spoke to the Rock, and the walls fell down. As long as we'll speak to the Rock, there'll be a way made.

L-37 Blind Bartimaeus, hundreds of years later, was setting... Now look, hundreds and hundreds of years later, an old blind man set by the wall, dreaming of the days when Joshua shook the walls down with the power of God, setting there in his blindness. And he said, "Oh, if I could only lived in that day, I would've seen Him also." And less then a few minutes from then, old blind Bartimaeus, without hope, without any medical cure, without anything, he spoke to the Rock, and the Rock gave him back his sight. When Jesus of Nazareth, which is the Rock in the weary land... He spoke to Him, and He gave him back his sight.

L-38 The woman at the well, she came up there one day to get a drink of water. Her life was condemning her; she wanted some water, and she drawed down to get it.
Somebody setting there said, "Why don't you ask Me for a drink? I'd give you waters you don't come here to draw."
And she said, "Lord, give me this water forevermore." She spoke to the Rock, and when she got a drink of that water, she run into the city, saying, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" Sure, she was thirsty, and she spoke to the Rock.
Martha, the sister of Lazarus, one day when sickness had come to their home, death had come to their home. Her brother was dead, buried, stinking out in the grave. But she went down into the city, for she heard something: faith cometh by hearing. And when she got down there, she spoke to the Rock. And the Rock brought forth life again to her dead brother, because she spoke to the Rock, and the Rock gave back the life of the dead boy.

L-39 The disciples one night in a storm twice as horrible as this, was out on the raging sea, and all hopes was gone. They thought they'd be gone. But they happened to remember; they had the Rock on board. Hallelujah. They spoke to the Rock, and the Rock gave forth Its Eternal Life waters. And He spoke to the winds and the waves, and they obeyed Him. They just had to speak to the Rock.
If you need joy, speak to the Rock; if you need salvation, speak to the Rock; if you need Divine healing, speak to the Rock. If you need the Holy Ghost, speak to the Rock, and He will bring forth His waters--the waters of salvation. If you'll just speak to the Rock; anything you have need of, speak to the Rock. The Rock is just the same today as He ever was. He's still got Eternal Life; He's still got eternal peace; He's still got joy unspeakable and full of glory; He's still got Divine healing. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. The only thing that people need to do is speak to the Rock. Amen. You believe that? Let's bow our heads then, and speak to the Rock, everybody in prayer.
