<TITLE>16. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 The little Martha, one time her brother was dead, and was buried, four days out in the grave, rotten already, skin worms eating in his body. And she heard there was something in the city, that Jesus had come. She went out there where He was at; she fell down before Him, and she said, "Lord, if You would've been here, my brother would not have died. But even now, Lord, whatever You ask God, God will give it to you."
He said, "Thy brother shall rise again." Why? She spoke to the Rock, (Amen.) and it brought forth death out of corruption, and rebuked death and brought life. Where a man had been dead four days, stood on his feet, and lived again because she spake to the Rock.
The disciples one night was out on the sea. All hopes was gone, and what happened? They seen something, looked like a spirit coming to them. And they found out It was the Rock, and they spoke to the Rock. New hopes come in, and away they went. And the whole thing was spared because they spoke to the Rock.

L-48 Jairus, the little priest. His daughter's dead; all hopes was gone. Directly he happened to think of something. His wife saw him run and get his hat. "Where you going, Jairus?" The doctor's leaving the house; he's pronounced her dead; her heart's stopped; she has no more respiration, been sick for several days; now she's gone. She said, "Where you going now? What's you got your hat?"
"I just happened to think; I'm going out to speak to the Rock." And the Rock brought forth life again into his daughter. Hallelujah. That's our God.

L-49 If you need life, speak to the Rock. If you need joy, speak to the Rock. If you need healing, speak to the Rock. If you need the Holy Ghost, speak to the Rock. Whatever you need, speak to the Rock, and He will bring forth His waters. Do you believe that? What the church needs tonight is get back on speaking terms with the Rock, the Rock of Ages, Christ Jesus, God's Smitten Rock. That's God's Rock. It's the salvation of God. That's still our commandment tonight is, whatever we have need of, speak to the Rock, and use the Name of the Rock, and God will bring forth His waters out of that Rock. Glory.
I feel like I could run a hundred miles. Why? Oh, brother, I know that Smitten Rock's laying right here now. Don't smite It any more. Just speak to It. Just speak to the Rock, and It'll bring forth His waters. Do you believe that?
Let's bow our heads and speak to Him then. Whatever you have need of, speak to that Rock and see if He will bring forth His waters.

L-50 O God, have mercy. We know that Thou art the Rock in a weary land. You're a shelter in the time of storm. No wonder Jesus said, "If they hold their peace this Rock will immediately cry out." The Rock.
John said, "God is able these rocks to rise up children unto Abraham." God, how we thank You that we can speak to You. We're so thankful to be on speaking terms. The Blood of Jesus Christ puts us in this condition. I pray, Father, that You forgive every sin of the people in here. Take us all together tonight, Father. Forgive our sins; heal our sicknesses. May the Lord God of heaven show forth His power and His glory upon this people.
