<TITLE>12. Par 98-109</TITLE>L-98 Now, we have had some people that got into the flesh, and got off on the wrong foot. And--and not God, but the people got... Because of not good leadership, and so forth, got them off on the wrong foot, and they went into fanaticism. And then the whole world, the devil points them, "See that? See that?"
Well, let me stand this morning and point back to these tens of millions times more that never even made a start. What about them? See, look at their condition. Look at a guy like Eichman today, with the highest... They say, "The Pentecostals are unethical and uncouth, and they're not educated," and so forth like that. Look at Eichman, one of the highest educated men in the world. And he put to death six million children and women and men, six million souls. You don't want to point to somebody like that.

L-100 But some little fellow that couldn't read, hardly, called maybe some name of the Bible wrong, and, or maybe said something or did something wrong, or made some mistake, the newspapers wants to write it up everywhere, and say, "They're not to be trusted."
Then if that cannot be trusted, why not education, the things and intellectuals that they have today? Look at Adolf Hitler. Look at the brains of the world today. Look at them. The old saying, "The sauce for the goose is for the gander."
The thing you have to do is be able, by the Holy Spirit, to divide what's right and wrong, and take what is right and wrong.

L-103 Now, we find out that this Calvary that they had, and the waters of life gushed forth for the people...
Now, some people has upon their hearts and mind, that all Israel drank, and then they packed up the camels and tied their hitches on their horses, and so forth, and took their kids and journeyed on into somewhere else, and left the Rock there, sprinkling. That is wrong. That Rock followed them, and that water followed them. Now, in I Corinthians the 10th chapter, I believe, and the 11th verse, you can find it, that that Rock followed Israel. Wherever they went from that day henceforth, the Rock went with them, and the waters followed them.

L-106 What a beautiful type, and a--a beautiful hold and an anchor for the believer today, that knows that that Rock that was once smitten, that Water that once poured forth from Calvary, goes with us wherever we are. Oh, my. It's not go back to a certain place and say, "Well, we did have Water day before yesterday, over there." We got Water today right here, because that Rock was Christ. And Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. See?
That Rock followed Israel. They never followed the Rock, but the Rock followed them. Amen. Israel went on their journey. They had but one thing to do, that's keep the straight course, right straight on into the promised land. And the Rock and the water followed them... the Rock following them... I Corinthians tells you so, the 10th chapter. All right. That Rock was Christ.

L-108 God took the judgments of the people and placed them upon Christ, and smote Him. Did you notice, there was a cleft in the Rock from then on? The Rock had a cleft in it where Moses smote. And Christ had a cleft when He was smitten, "He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed." From that Life come forth the Waters of Life that we so enjoy today.

L-109 Now, in order to obtain this Life... Remember, the Life of Christ stays with the church. Hallelujah. Oh, if we could anchor our thoughts there for the next ten minutes... Christ does not leave the church. "I'll be with you always, even to the end of the world." It's the people that leaves Christ, not Christ leaving the people. The people leave it by their unbelief. They leave Christ, not Christ leaving the people.
Israel left the stream, not the stream leaving Israel. See? For the Bible plainly states that the Rock and the water followed Israel: followed them. Wherever they went, it went too.
