<TITLE>18. Par 66-69</TITLE>L-66 Now, you notice he said, "Now..." The next morning, what did they do? I can imagine them Hebrews out there saying, "I heard the vision of the Lord. The prophet told the truth. I'm going to dig out this thing." Hit an old log there. "What is this? Ten percent of my wages. Well, we been having soup suppers to pay our preacher." Dig that log out of there. Get it out of there. You owe God a tenth. Dig her out. Throw it out on one side.
Directly, he hit another little log. "What's that?" "Well now, don't you get off on the deep end." Pull that thing out and throw it out. That's what's got you on the shallow end. Yes, sir. Throw the thing out. More deeper you dig, the more water you will find. Just keep digging in the storehouse of God, throwing the thing out till you get for you can fill up with real waters of Life.

L-67 Then about daylight, they happened to notice. The waters came and they didn't know where it come from. It was there all the time. They just clogged it up. There's power in the Church. I can tell you, and I'll tell any minister, I can show you where God gave the Church power to heal the sick, cast out devils, and all these things to do. And now you come put your finger on the Scripture where Jesus said, "Now, I take it back away from the Church now."
Well then, what's happened? What's the matter? You've got it clogged up. Your own self-made idea of it has clogged it up. I can tell you where Jesus promised in this last day, and show you that these signs that you see done, that the Spirit of God would come into the church and sow visions and so forth like that, as He is doing. And you--you try to disprove it one time and find out where you're at.

L-68 The reason the things is, you're all clogged up with too much ecclesiastical systems in you. It's all clogged up. Dig the thing out, and throw it away, and let the waters go to running.
About time it begin to break day, oh, brother, the waters is flowing freely, coming from that smitten Rock that still was out there in the wilderness. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Only thing you have to do is get all the old logs out of the way. Get all of the old unbelief out of the way. Pick up that unbelief and throw it away.
Say, "Well now, listen. Jesus promised it. And I don't care what anybody says, I believe it." That's it. Take the log and throw it out. Say, "God promised it. I see it right here before me. I've always made fun of it. I thought it was wrong. But now I'm going to believe it. So I'm going to get this old log and throw it out." And as soon as you get that log out of the way, the sweet waters of peace of God will go to flowing. Like a river, it'll flow through you.

L-69 You say, "Well, I--I always wondered if healing..." Here's what I find people... healing. When God come here and prove Hisself to be right here among you... You know what it is? You're reaching out--you're trying to apply faith with a orchid. Faith was applied by weeds, hyssop. Hyssop is just common weeds.
You try to work up a faith. You can't work up a faith. Faith is so common; it's the same faith you go get a drink of water with. Same faith you--you drive your automobile with. See, it's just common. You... Well hyssop, you can find it growing on the ground, out of the cracks of the buildings, anywhere. And when they applied the blood with hyssop, was applying faith.
