<TITLE>13. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 Look at them; many of them said, "Well, now if that's all you can do... Here we are camped out into the desert; we've dug in every spring; we've dug on every oasis; and there's no water." And yet the very driest place in all the desert was that old rock laying there on the hill, "Go ,speak to the rock." How God does things. It just confuses the carnal mind; they just don't know what to do about it.
Now, the driest place in the desert is the rock. Anybody knows that. Well, if there's no... If they can't find any water in the old time springs, then how they going to find it in a rock?
If they can't find Divine healing in the great church with this name... "If there's any Divine healing would be in this great church that we belong to, or it would be in this great church that we belong to, the old spring, how in the world you going to find one now, to go on top the mountain and speak to that rock when there's no water up there to begin with?" But the thing of it was; it isn't how it looks; it's taking God at His Word. Speak anyhow.
If the doctor turns you down, said, "That cancer's going to kill you, how would it be any--for a man to lay hands on?" Don't make any difference what it looks like, how foolish it looks to science; God said, "They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." No matter what it looks like...

L-37 You mean in a day like this when we got all the culture and all the--all the culture... I always thought of culture. Yeah, that--that's a great thing, uh-huh. My opin--my opinion of a culture is a man that hasn't got nerve enough to kill a rabbit, but can eat a belly full of it if somebody else kills it. Now, that's... Oh, my. What we need today's not culture. What we need today is the Holy Ghost to bring faith in us to the Word of the living God. That's exactly right.
In this great day of education, this great day of science, what does that mean to God? Why, they... The science one time built a--a great big tower, was going to reach all the way into heaven. And God just set and laughed at their ignorance. And the thing He done; He sent a little tongues movement down there and confused the whole thing. Oh, God can just do what He wants to, can't He? Oh, He's God; He's God forevermore, certainly.

L-38 Notice what taken place here. Now, when we find that God told Aaron in the midst of all that, him and Moses, "Go, speak to the rock, and it will bring forth his waters."
How foolish, their carnal mind. "Well, if that's the best you can give me, just let it alone." Like Elijah, one day when he went to pray, and he sent his servant up to see if there was any sign of a cloud. He went the seventh time, when he came back he said, "Oh, yes, there's a little cloud about the size of a man's hand over in the west over there."
He said, "Roll up the rain barrel; I hear the sound of abundance of rain coming." What was it?
Why, the--why, the carnal mind would've caught that quick and say, "Well, if that's the best you can give me, if that's all that you can do..."

L-39 Oh, brother, how much more sign of that we got of the living God among us tonight? How we have... We've passed from death unto Life. The baptism of the Holy Ghost is come upon us. Jesus heals us. Jesus saves us. Jesus fills with the Holy Ghost. Jesus comes down and shows miracles, discerns the heart, does the signs, the Pillar of Fire, the pictures taken; It's here now. The same Jesus was yesterday, is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus said, when He was asked, said, "You're a man yet fifty years old and say you seen Abraham?"
He said, "Before Abraham was, I AM." And I AM was that Pillar of Fire that led Moses through the wilderness. When He was on earth, He said, "I came from God and I go to God. A little while and the world won't see Me no more; yet you shall see Me for I, ('I' is a personal pronoun) I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Right.
