<TITLE>22. Par 197-204</TITLE>L-197 But remember, that Rock never left them. It never did leave them. And Christ will never leave us; Christ said, "I'll be with you always, even to the end of the world." Is that right? And that Rock stayed with them all the way from Horeb to Nebo. It did. Down to the Jordan, It was still there. O God, I want to see It at the Jordan.
Moses, when he was at the Jordan, the Rock was with him all the way through. And he was standing up there, looking down at a--a bunch of people who had backslidden and gone away from God; His heart was yearning for them. And he looked over Jordan. There he was at the Jordan: Jordan, spiritual, I'm talking about. And there he was standing there; death was coming up his sleeve. But he looked, laying there by the side of him, there laid the Rock. He just stepped over on the Rock, and the Angels come, packed him away.

L-199 "I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee." No matter how hard the times gets, how old we get, what kind of a death we die, remember, the Rock will be there at Jordan. It'll never leave or never will forsake. Just remember that. The ever-presence of the Water from the Rock will be with us all down through life and even at the Jordan.

L-200 Let's bow our heads. [A prophecy is given--Ed.]
While that Spirit is moving among us, the Spirit of God moving among us, would there be those here this morning that does not know Christ, and you're--you're not close to that Rock, not on speaking terms to It this morning? But you know It's present. Look at It working everywhere, see Him moving around, see It moving upon the people. That's the ever-presence of the Water. That's salvation. That's the Spirit that runs their cups to a place till they can't hold their peace any longer; something has to come forth. And you don't know Him, would you like to raise up your hand and say, "Pray for me, Brother Branham. I now want to know Him. And I want to speak with Him, and I want to know Him as the fulness of His Spirit. I want to know that He's right by my side, all the time. I believe He is. But I want to be on speaking terms. And I'm thirsty, and I'm hungry for God. I want to know Him better"?

L-202 God bless you, sir. And God bless you, sir. And you, brother. You, yeah, way back in the back. Down here, lady, yes. Yes, lady. We see your hands, and God sees them. God bless you, young man. God bless you. And you, lady. Amen. God bless you. Bless you, sister. Someone else now in the silent moment. God bless you, way back there, young fellow.
Think of it. Think of it; the ever-presence of the Water from the Rock, that same Spirit, that He screamed out there at the day of the judgment for Him, when He took our judgment. And God's rod of wrath struck upon Him, and your sins was wrapped in that rod, and struck Him, and His Blood and water gushed forth from Him. He said, "Father, into Thy hands I commend My Spirit." And on the day of Pentecost It come to go with us through the journey. And It's so close now.

L-204 Will you...?... out from under, far away from Home, say, "Lord, I'm coming Home." While we sing this, if you'd like to walk up to the altar and make a reconsecration too of your soul, to Christ... Amen.
I've wandered far away from God, (off of the path)
Now I'm coming home;
The path of (unbelief is a sin) too long I've trod,
Lord, I'm coming home.
Coming home, coming home,
Never more to roam;
Open wide Thine arms of love,
Now, Lord, I'm coming home.
[Brother Branham continues to hum, "Lord, I'm Coming Home"--Ed.]
