<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 It must have been a hot morning; everybody was all confused and flusterated, because all night long the cattle had bawled, and the--the children had cried, and the people had fussed and argued and quarreled. Poor Moses, it was a dreadful time for him. You see, he had come down into Egypt and had brought the children out according to the promise of God and was leading them to the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey, with a promise of God to protect them and to supply everything they had need of until they reached this glorious land flowing with milk and honey.
Moses, a God-called servant, ordained prophet, Pillar of Fire over him, following him, confirming the words that he spoke by signs and wonders, on his road to the promised land with the children, a very definitely antitype, or type, rather, of the journey today. We are on our road to the promised land. And we are being led by the great Holy Spirit. As they was led in the natural, we are led in the spiritual to this great promised land that God made the promise and gave to us. God had promised them to supply all their needs. But their carnal mind had taken them out of the Divine will of God and had given them a desert route.

L-16 That's a whole lot of it today. That's what's the matter with many of our churches. They've taken the carnal, intellectual route and's been cut off, the supplies of God's blessings of healing and power, and the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and have took the desert route. Therefore, we have arguings, and fusses, and stews, and complaints. But those who are still remaining in the way, it's joy unspeakable and full of glory with God, with His Pillar of Fire over them, with power, with joy, with signs and wonders. How that real borned again Church is moving on to the promised land, the promise of Eternal Life, a land flowing with Eternal Life, where there's no more sickness, death, sorrow, nor nothing to harm.

L-17 Now. But when carnal minds begin to come among them, it finally drove them off the main path into the desert. They made their fatal mistake when they failed to go on. They were on their journey, not very many miles, they could've made it in a few days with all this two million people out into the desert if they'd have stayed on the path. But when they come to a place called Kadesh-Barnea... Kadesh-Barnea at one time, I'm told, was a great judgment seat. It says a great spring or well there, many little wells, a perfect type of the church. The church is the judgment seat, where heaven is the great judgment seat of God. And the little wells represent the little churches all out, and judgment begins at the house of God. See? Here's where the judgment begins.
That's why... I don't see why so many complain that I speak too hard, and try to make people straighten up, and tell them the way they're living, the way they're dressing, and tell me I'm hurting my ministry, when the judgment seat is the house of God. That's right. Here's where it's to begin at, right here where justice, and righteous, and judgment of God is to go forth from the pulpit.
