<TITLE>11. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Now, we find that, they'd already seen these miracles. Look what was with them. They had a smitten rock with them; they could drink from it. They had a brass serpent with them for healing. Oh, my. They had a--a prophet with them that had the Word of God. Over the prophet was a Pillar of Fire that was doing the leading, and not one time had It ever failed them.
Glory. Oh, I--I feel like shouting. Look, It hadn't failed. God doesn't fail. He cannot fail and remain God. He's still God. The smitten Rock, the brass serpent, a prophet, an atonement, a sacrifice, everything grace had provided for them already.
And after God had done all those things, they were like a lot of people today, has to be babied around. God don't want babies. God wants men and women.
I like old Buddy Robinson's testimony, he said, "Lord, give me the backbone the size of a saw log. Put plenty of knowledge in the gable end of my soul. Let me fight the devil as long as I got one tooth left, and then gum on him till I die." That's what we need: courage, not a wishbone, but a backbone, a real Spirit filled heart, filled with the Holy Ghost, sanctified by the Blood of Jesus Christ, living in a life, walking in the path of God, keeping His commandments, claiming every promise as your own property. Hallelujah.

L-31 Oh, I know I act crazy, but if you felt like I did, you'd act the same way. All right, because it's good. Somebody said, "Boy, you've lost your mind." Well, maybe I have, but if I have, just let me alone. I'm more happier this way than I was the other way. So just let me stay like this.
I was walking in the city; I heard a man say one time... There was a man come down the street, he had a sign on his front of his breast, like this way, like he was picketing somewhere; he said, "I'm a fool for Christ." And on his back, after he passed by, looked back, said, "Whose fool are you?" So I just wonder now. I'd rather be a fool for Christ, to know Him, knowing this, that I know Him in the power of His resurrection, that someday when death takes me, that last big channel setting yonder, my heart beats every minute it goes towards that channel, but when I come to it, I don't want to come like a coward. I want to walk there, and wrap myself in the robes of His righteousness, knowing this, that I know Him in the power of His resurrection, that when He calls I'll come out from among the dead, leaving those things in the past; I'll press towards the mark of the high calling. Glory. Yes, sir.

L-32 Brother, we need an old time Pentecostal backwoods sin killing revival just like this California, all other states and nations throughout the country, bring back the power of God into the church again. We've come to a Kadesh, a judgment seat. All these things, still fussing, still complaining... Pillar of Fire over the prophets, his words was perfect, smitten rock, brass serpent, miracles and signs, they done from it, then still complaining. Oh, just eating Angel's food and still at garlic, wanted to go back to the old garlic pots. It showed they wasn't ready to go into Canaan. That's right.
