First seven verses we'll read
here. And all the congregation of the
children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness
of sin after their journeys according to the commandment of the Lord,
and pitched in repudium, and there was no water for the people
to drink. Wherefore the people did chide
with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And
Moses said unto them, Why chide you with me? Wherefore do you
tempt the Lord? And the people thirsted there
for water, and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore
is this, that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us
and our children and our cattle with thirst? And Moses cried
unto the Lord, What shall I do unto this people? They be almost
ready to stone me. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders
of Israel and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, taking
thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee
there upon the rock in Horeb, and thou shalt smite the rock,
and thou shalt come water out of it, and the people may drink.
And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. And
he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of
the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted
the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us or not? You know, we're going to talk
about that rock. See this rock here said, God
said in verse six, behold, I will stand before thee there upon
the rock and orb and thou shalt smite the rock and thou shalt
come water out of it that that people may drink. And Moses did
so in the sight of the elders of Israel. Now I want to read
something to you. You don't have to look over yourself,
but look what it says here. Moreover brethren, I would not
that you should be ignorant. This is first Corinthians 10
how that all of our fathers were under the cloud and all passed
through the Red Sea and were all baptized under Moses in the
and in the sea and did all eat the same spiritual meat that
meat that God gave them from heaven and did all drink the
same spiritual drink for they drank of that spiritual rock
and that's in capital letters and rock that followed them,
and that rock was Christ. So when we look at this rock,
this rock was Christ. That's what Paul told us. He
said this rock that's mentioned here in Exodus, that rock was
Christ. Now the people of Israel, here
they journeyed, here they journeyed, and they murmured against Moses.
It's not the first time This is the third time that they murmured
against Moses and murmured against God. And if we didn't know something
of the evil of the human heart from what God says in His Word,
and from our own experience, didn't know something of the
evil of it, how in the world could you describe the unbelief
and the ingratitude and insensibility of these people that God had
done so much for? How could you explain it if it
wasn't for the deceitfulness and wickedness of the human heart?
Such unbelief, so ungrateful, so insensible. God had come down and delivered
them out of Egypt. They cried by reason of their
taskmaster. Then when they got out of there,
they said, Oh, we wish you'd left us down in Egypt. And they
cried there because of the reason of the hardness of their taskmasters.
God heard their cry and went down and delivered them. Then
when they got to the Red Sea, God parted the Red Sea, they
walked through on dry land. They wanted something to eat,
so what'd God do? He said, I'll give you angel's
food. Bread from heaven, I'll give
you that in the morning. And then you go out and get it
every morning and then at night I'm going to give you some quails.
You'll have bread and meat. I'm going to feed you. I'm going to take care of you. And the water, when they got
to the water of Myra, she said it was too bitter for them to
drink. Too bitter for them to drink. You know what God did?
Showed them a tree. Trees thrown into water. Water
was sweet. They could drink all they wanted.
So they traveled a while. And here they go, rebelling against God, chiding
Moses, chiding him. And that word chide is just harping,
harping, harping, harping. And we learn a needed, needed
lesson here from Israel in the wilderness. The unbearable, it's
just invariable that the human heart and the tendency of the
human heart is to doubt God. Is to question God. That's it.
And I, even us believers, we do it sometimes. We'll get in
a situation, the situation will get out of hand real quick and
we'll just back up, you know, just complain and gripe and go
on and on about what we're going through. And that's what these
people are doing. That's what they're doing. And
oh my, but all to trust the wisdom and the power and the glory of
the everlasting and eternal God. But you know, when you see people
like this, you see no wonder it's called an evil heart of
unbelief departing from the living God. But there's some age-old
questions that these Israelites asked. First thing they asked,
what are we going to eat? That's the first thing they asked.
Second thing they asked, what are we going to drink? The only question missing is,
what shall we wear? And our Lord Jesus Christ, He
said, take no thought for tomorrow, what you shall wear, what you
shall eat, what you shall drink, for the sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof. And He asked His disciples one
time, He sent them out. He sent them out without any
money. sent them out without anything whatsoever, and he sent
them out to work, sent them out to preach the gospel, sent them
out. And when they got back, they went out with nothing but
their staffs, you know, their walking stick. And when they
got back, he said, lacked you anything when I sent you out? And every single one of them
said, nothing, nothing. No, never lacked for nothing.
Let me ask you this, have you lacked for anything? Have you
lied for anything? No. We got a big nest of robins in
the backyard. And they got a bunch of babies
and there's two of them, you know, both robins, male and female,
take care of them. And then they go down, get up,
feed them, go back, fly back and forth, just doing nothing
but feeding them. And if them birds, if them birds take care
of their babies, you imagine what God does for us. That's
what he said, consider the sparrows. That poor old mama and daddy,
they just, they feed them. They just, that's all they do.
That's all they do. And I tell you what, that's all
God does for us. Feeds us, takes care of us. All
we got to do is just, you know when God said open your mouth
and feel it? He'll feel it, feel it, feel it. He wasn't talking
about preachers. You know, preachers used to get
up and God said, you know, they'd say, God said open your mouth
and I'd feel it. Well, if you don't prepare, you'll
be filled with nothing but hot air. But I do know this, when
God said open your mouth and I'll feel it, He's talking about
us as believers. Open your mouth, I'll take care
of you, I'll feed you. I'll see that you're taken care
of. But oh, beloved, I tell you, faith got an answer to all these
things. What are we going to eat? What
are we going to drink? What are we going to wear? And I'll tell
you, faith has an answer to that. God. You know what we're going
to wear? The righteousness of Christ.
You know what we eat? Christ, the bread from heaven.
You know what we drink? Christ is the water of life. So we're wearing something Christ
provided for us. We're eating the bread He provides
for us and we drink the water that He provides for us. But
oh beloved, two things, two things that man does not have the ability
to grasp and that's the depth of sin and the depth of the grace
of God and when you look at these people and all the things that
they did against Moses and against Aaron and against God I tell you where he said where
sin abounded and it abounds here and where sin abounded grace
super abounds much more abounds and okay so look what here in
verse 4 look what it says Moses cried unto the Lord. That's the
first thing he did when these folks started hollering and grumping
and grumbling and carrying on and murmuring and chiding him.
The first thing he always did, he cried unto the Lord. He cried
unto the Lord. What shall I do unto this people? Listen to what he says. They
be almost ready to stone me. They're fixing to stone him. and the Lord said unto Moses
go on before the people and take with thee the elders of Israel
and thy rod wherewith thou smotest the river take in thine hand
and go and behold I'll stand before thee upon the rock in
Horeb and thou shalt smite the rock and there shall come water
out of it that the people may drink and Moses did so in the
sight of the elders of Israel this people These people thought
that they would perish. They thought that they would
perish. And they would have perished had not God done something for
them. All hope was gone. There was no water. They was
out in the wilderness. And where there ain't no water,
there ain't no life. You can go a long time without
food. But about three days as long as you go without water.
And this is us by nature. Our state Our state by nature. We're without hope, without God,
without Christ. That's the way we were by nature.
Our state and condition before God, before His sovereign mercy
saved us. Our birth and practice. We had
no spiritual water. We had no life. We only had death. And we lived in a dry, thirsty,
barren, barren land. It's like that woman that was
at the well. She was going too well. Jacob
was the one who dug that well. Hundreds and hundreds of years
before that woman ever got there. Jacob dug that well. And she
was there to get her water. But there was a man sitting on
that well. And he asked her, he said, give
me to drink. She said, well, you're a Jew
and I'm Samaritan. We don't have nothing to do with
one another. He said, if you knew the gift of God, you would
have asked of him and he would have given thee a drink of living
water. She said, sir, are you greater
than our father Jacob who dug this well? Where are you going
to get this water at? Where are you going to get it?
He said, you get it from me. You get it from me. If you knew
the gift of God, you would ask me and listen to what he said.
I would have given thee a drink of living water, living water. And that's what we were. We were
that water until Christ came and gave us water. And this word
horrible there in verse six, horrible. You know what that
means? That means dry and empty, dry and empty. Now I'm telling
you something, the human well is dry. The human well is dry. What good thing can you bring
out of yourself? The human well is dry. It's dry. The religious well is dry. It's dry. Where are you going
to find Christ at in the average church today? Where are you going
to find the gospel at? The human will is dry. It's dry
as last year's cotton. And I tell you what, it's dry. Oh my, thank God, thank God for
the Lord Jesus Christ. I was in that religious will
and everything I brought out of it was rotten and corrupt.
It wasn't water fit to drink, huh? And the philosopher's well,
it's dry. I remember when I was just a
boy, I was staying with my uncle down in Southern Ohio, and he
wanted to dig a well. And so we went to digging a well.
And we dug a well, oh my goodness, it was, oh, that thing was probably
15 foot wide. And we went to digging that well.
And we dug, and we dug, and we dug, and we dug, and we got down
in there where you couldn't see up, you had to have a way to
get in and out. And then we'd take it out with buckets. But finally one day we got in
there and started digging, water started coming up. But I had the labor, we had to
labor hard for that water. But beloved, we ain't going to
dig no wells for ourselves. That's all a man can do is dig
a well. And that well, all he's going
to have is natural water. But I tell you what, you're not
going to labor for this well of Christ. It's not going to
do it. There's nothing in this world, nothing in the flesh,
nothing in religion, nothing in philosophy that could ever
save our souls. Nothing. It's dry. Everything's
dry. But there is a rock. God said, I'll stand before thee
there in horror, but on a rock. But there is a rock. Now I want
you to keep this and look in Isaiah 32. Keep Exodus 17. Look
in Isaiah 32. With me. Isaiah 32. Look in verse two. There's a rock. Here's a rock. It talks about
a man. And the man shall be as a hiding
place from the wind. When the winds of change and
the winds of trial and the winds of sin start blowing on us, And
a covert from the tempest when the storm gets incredibly tough. A covert, a place to get in out
of the tempest. Listen to this, as rivers of
water in a dry place. And listen to this, boy oh boy,
as the shadow of a great rock and a weary land. Sit down, get
in that shade. Oh my, all the things that Christ
is to us. Now back over here. Now when
they got up there, and there was a rock. It didn't look any different
than any other rock. Didn't look any different than
any other rock. It just looked like any other rock. So how in
the world can it give water? That rock was in a dry, barren,
Horrible place in the desert in the wilderness And it looked
like what a hopeless help. There's a rock just a rock And
that's what I Lord, you know what I said about our master
Said he is as a root out of dry ground. I And there's no comeliness
about him, a beauty about him that we should desire him. And
let me show you this. You keep this. Look in Matthew
13.55. This is what I'm trying to say. This is the way people
view Christ. And you know, when they look
at Christ, that rock was a native of the desert. It didn't look
any different than the rest of the rocks. But look here what
he said in Matthew 13.55. in appearance is a rock like
everybody else's, like any other rock. It's a dry, barren, wilderness
place. And look what they said about
Christ now. Remember when Nathaniel said,
when Andrew went to him and said, we found him who is the Messiah,
the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth. And you know what the first thing
he said was? Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? That's
the first thing he said. There ain't nothing good coming
out of Nazareth. And he said it's not, verse 55,
it's not this the carpenter's son. Well, he's nobody. He's just the carpenter's son. It's not his mother called Mary.
Don't we know his mother? And don't we know his brothers,
James, Jodas, Hoseas, Joseph, and Simon, and Judas, and his
sisters? Are they not all with us? Whence
then has this man all these things? He looks no different than anybody
else. Where did all these things that he does come from? Watch
this. But they were offended in him. You know what? They looked at
him. They looked at him and they said, he don't look like nothing
special to me. He don't appear any special to
me. He's just a carpenter's son.
We know his mama, we know his daddy, we know his brothers,
we know his sister. Why anywhere else do you think he's so special?
Oh my! And here's the second thing about
this. That rock was a native of the desert. It didn't look
any different than any of the rest of the rocks. And when you
looked at our Lord Jesus Christ, like I just said. When you looked
at Him, I'm telling you something. He was made in the likeness of
sinful flesh. He had a body like ours. And
He looked like ours. And I tell you what, He looked
so common that Judas had to kiss Him when he went out to get Him.
They said, I'll tell you what, how are we going to know that
He's He? Who He is? We're going after
Him. When that crowd went after Him in Gethsemane, Judah says,
I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll tell you and show you who
He is. I'll walk up and I'll kiss Him. And the one that I
kiss, that's the one you get. Huh? Oh my, he was made in the
likeness of sinful flesh. He wasn't sinful flesh. And beloved,
he took upon himself the form of a servant, being found in
fashion as a man. He became a servant. Oh, that was, you know, that
was, you see all these pictures, there was no halo over his head. There was no glow about his face.
He was down down praying in some great big light, you know, we're
shining down on him from heaven. I Tell you what the Lord Jesus
Christ said be looking at him and then all sudden he just mingled
in the crowd and he looked like everybody else and they just
They said where'd he go? Where'd he go? He's gone And I'll tell you this this is
this is what you know the only way in the world Well, I'm gonna
get ahead of myself. I don't watch it But oh, listen,
here's the third thing about this rock. This rock was chosen
by God. Ain't that what he says? Behold,
I'll stand before thee there upon the rock. You know which
rock you're going to have to go smite? The one I'm standing
on. And how in the world can God
stand on a rock when God is Spirit and no man has ever seen Him
at any time, dwells in a light that no man can approach Him
to? How can God stand on that rock and them see Him? Only one
way, in Jesus Christ. That's why He said that rock
was Christ. That was the Lord Jesus Christ
and that's the only way God's ever revealed Himself to anybody
is through His Son. He created this world by His
Son. He upholds this world, how? By
His Son. He governs this world, how? By
His Son. He's given all power and authority
in this world to who? His Son. And oh my! And all that rock
was chosen by God. And that rock was one that's
going to give water and life to these people in the wilderness.
God's the one that chose it. They didn't go out and say, well,
this looks like a pretty good rock here. Let's see if this
will give us some water. No, no. God said, I'll stand
on that rock. This is the one I want right
here. I want you to keep this. And look in Isaiah 42, talking
about an election. You know, Christ was God's first
elect and we were chosen in Him. And how could Christ be God's
first elect? Look what it said here in Isaiah
42. That's why it says, This is my
beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. He was ordained before the world
began. Now look what God said here. Behold my servant. Christ, God's
blessed servant. God's righteous servant. Look
what he said. Whom I uphold. My elect? What does He mean Christ
God's elect? Well, I'm going to tell you,
like I just said, God chose Him, set Him apart from before the
foundation of the world as the Lamb slain. God elected, chose
Him in the office of being a Savior, of being a mediator. of having
all power over all flesh as being the only Savior as being God
manifest in the flesh I chose you and I tell you look what
he says and whom my soul delights God never said he delighted anybody
but his son And I tell you what, God delights in him. I do too,
don't you Brad? I just delight in him. Oh, how
I delight in him. Oh, he lights me up. I tell you,
I delight in him. Look what he said. And I put
my spirit upon him. And he's gonna bring judgment.
In other words, he's gonna come save the Gentiles. Look what
it says down in verse four. He shall not fail. You know why he ain't gonna fail? He's God's elect. God said, I've
given you power over all flesh. Here's the fourth thing about
that rock. And that rock was God. I'll stand
before thee upon the rock in harm. I'll stand before you on
that rock. I said it this morning. God was
in Christ. I mean the only way in the world
God can stand on that rock was to stand on that rock in Christ.
And that's why Paul said that rock, capitalized, that rock
was Christ. And I'll stand before you. Old
Philip told our master when he said I'm going away They said,
Oh Lord, where are you going? He said, I'm going away. And
where I go, you can't come. And he said, before you go, he
said, will you show us the Father? Will you show us the Father?
And that'll satisfy us. That'll be sufficient for us.
Do you know what our master said to him? Philip, have I been such
a long time with you and you've not seen me? For he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father. Oh my, and I tell you that rock
was God. I'll stand before thee upon the
rock, the rock. And you know, the psalmist says,
he is my rock, the rock of my salvation. And that rock, that
rock was full of unseen blessings. Oh, the blessings that come out
of that rock, that rock was in an unlikely place, It was unlikely
thing. Can any good thing come out of
this rock? And you know the only reason,
the only way in the world they knew what's rock to come to and
what's rock to smite was that God stood before them. And the
only way in the world that anybody can know Christ is like Simon
Peter. Our Lord asked Simon Peter, who
do men say that I the Son of Man am? They said, well some
say you're John the Baptist, some say you're Jeremiah, or
Elijah, or one of the other prophets. Who do you say I am? For thou
art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Oh Simon, God has
so blessed you, my Father so blessed you. You wouldn't know that. Flesh and blood didn't make you
know that. My Father made you know that.
And I tell you, you know how blessed you are? If God gave
you a revelation of Jesus Christ, a revelation of yourself, and
a revelation of salvation in Him, you know how blessed you
are to have that? There's a multitude of people
in this world that's never had a revelation from God. But if
flesh and blood, I'm flesh and blood, I cannot make you know
anything. I can study, I can take the scriptures
and I can comment on them, I can go through them. But if you have
any revelation of what's going on, it's the Spirit of God that
does it for you. Thank God for the revelation
of Christ. I once was blind. Now I see. I once was lost. Oh my, and I'll tell you what,
if you do business with God, if you have the water of life,
you'll do it with His blessed Son. Amen? Amen. Now look what else happened to
this rock now. There in verse 6, I'll stand
before thee there upon the rock in Horeb, and listen to this,
and thou shalt smite the rock. Take that rod you got in your
hand. That rod you parted the Red Sea with. That rod that you
parted the Red Sea with. That rod, take that rod. And
when you see me standing on that rock, you take that rod and you
hit that rock with it. You smite that rock. Don't just
tap it. Don't just barely touch it. I
want you to take that rod and I want you to draw it back and
I want you to hit it and hit it hard. No smiting, no water. And what did it say? He was smitten
and afflicted of God. Wounded for our transgressions. And when our Lord Jesus Christ
was on that cross That big old burly Roman soldier walked up
there and I, Lord Jesus Christ, he took that spear and thrust
it in his side and out came blood and out came water. Blood to cleanse us from our
sin and water to purify us and sanctify us and cleanse us like
the washing of the water by the word. And I tell you what, no
smiting, no redemption. No smiting, no sin put away. No smiting, no salvation. It was like when those children
of Israel, they got bitten by the serpents, and there's poison,
poison got in their blood. And God provided a way. God provides,
just like here, He provides a way. He's always got a way. a way
that gives Him all the glory, a way that absolutely makes people
have to look to Him and cannot look anywhere else. Moses took
a serpent, made a brass serpent, hung it up on a pole, and he
said, if you've been bitten by a serpent, look! And that poison
will leave your system and you'll live. And God said, our Lord said,
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up. That whosoever believeth. That word believeth means once
you believe, you always believe. Believeth, continually believing.
You cannot believe once you become a believer. You cannot not believe. Can you? Ain't you grateful God made it
that way that you cannot not believe? These people that quit,
just quit and go off and do whatever they do, quit the gospel, go
on about their business, do whatever they do. I tell you one thing,
they never saw Christ and never believed on Him because once
you start believing on Him, you cannot do anything else but that. You do not want to live a split
second in this world after you believe on Him without Him. Do
you? You can't imagine. What you believe
you can imagine not believing. Oh, bless His holy name. But
bless God that He was smitten of God and afflicted and the
wrath of God and the judgment of God and the justice of God
was put on Him for us. and by his stripes we are healed
our Lord Jesus Christ said accept a corn of wheat he said my hour
is now yet not my hour has come and accept a corn of wheat fall
into the ground and die it abideth alone but if it dies it will
bring forth much fruit and Christ smitten and afflicted of God
he brought forth much fruit Much fruit. You and I are that fruit. Paul and Peter and James and
John was that fruit. Abraham was that fruit. Oh my. A wise old sword against my felon
smite the shepherd. And it was only after that rock
was smitten did water come out of it. Huh? Water came out of
it. And I tell you, I want you to
see this. We need to see this. That rock
was smitten for a high-minded, rebellious, God-hating people. These people chided Moses, murmured
and complained and said, you brought us out here just to kill
us. That's what you brought us out
here for. Moses said, what am I going to
do? They're going to stone me. He said, I got it. I'll tell
you what I do. I don't know where some water at. And I know how
to get it. But you got to smite it. And
it was smitten for rebellious people. And Christ was smitten. You know who he was smitten for? Rebels. Rebels. rebels, rebels,
rebels, rebels, rebels. We rebelled all our lives. And
don't have said you get when your children have rebelled against
you. Do you get pretty upset? Don't you? When your children
pop off and rebel against you? I ain't gonna do that. I ain't
gonna do this. I ain't gonna do that. rebel against you. You imagine, it's awful to rebel
against your parents, but to rebel against God, who gave us
life, gave us breath, and holds our soul in His hands. But he
said, oh listen Moses, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I know
they are high-minded, they are rebellious people. And I know,
and our Lord Jesus Christ knew exactly who He came into this
world to save. He knew exactly He knew exactly
Who I was and you was and what we were and what we did what
we're gonna do after he saved us And what we'll do till he
takes us to glory We do things that surprise ourselves,
but we ain't never done anything surprise God But oh my there's
no need to dress up Israel or dress up ourselves they were
a sinful undeserving people so are we they could do nothing
about it and we can't either as Brad said Lord without you
we can do nothing and God had mercy upon them even
though they were rebellious people and he had mercy upon us And
He gave them water and life from the rock. And He has given us
life and salvation and a blessed hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I'll tell you something else.
That rock, that rock yielded water abundantly. It wasn't just
a little trickle. When he smoked that rock, water
just went gushing out. Ain't that the way grace is?
When God gives you grace, He just gives you grace for grace
for grace. Just grace upon grace. Huh? And I'll tell you something else.
It didn't require no purification. No, they didn't have to purify
it. No, no, we buy this water, it's
supposed to be spring water and purified water and this kind
of water and every kind of water. Oh my, it required no purification
by man. It didn't have no effective,
you know, no effort to pipe it in. All they had to do is drink of
it and drink of it freely. And all the fitness he requires
is to feel your knee to him. Oh, our Lord Jesus stood that
last day, that great day of the feast. You know what he said?
If any man's thirsty, let him come unto me and I'll give him
a drink of living water and it'll spring up, it'll spring up just
like a river, just like a river. And oh my, And I want you to
see this in 1 Corinthians 10.4 and I'm done. 1 Corinthians 10.4. I want you to see this. This
is kind of a puzzling thing here. Look what it says here. In verse
4. 1 Corinthians 10.4. and did all drink the same spiritual
drink that water that they drank God said spiritual for they drank
of that spiritual rock see that rock capitalized title of our
Lord Jesus Christ description of him and that rock followed
them that rock followed them and that rock was Christ why
do you think he meant that that rock followed him? It says here that wherever they
went, they was 40 years in the wilderness. They'd only been
in the wilderness a couple weeks so far. And they were, wherever
they was, that rock was. And let me tell you something,
wherever we are, Christ is. You're asleep, Christ's there.
You're driving, Christ is there. You in the hospital and sick
and weary and maybe dying, Christ is there. And that's what it says, that
rock followed them. Wherever they went from then
on, wherever they was, there was that rock. There was that
rock. Through the wilderness, over the hills down in the valleys and they was in the desert and
the desert couldn't dry up that rock the Lord Jesus is the fountain
of life and the source of all grace through the wilderness
of this world I said I was going to quit but I want you to see
one last verse of scripture Psalm 105 verse 41 oh we got to look
at this I was looking at this before I come tonight Psalm 105
verse 41. Oh my, listen to this now. Psalm 105 verse 41. He opened the rock. Who did? God did. He opened the rock and the waters
gushed out and they ran in the dry places like a river. Like a river. Oh, that rock was
Christ. That rock was Christ. Our Father, in the precious name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, Blessed be your name for the gospel.
Blessed be the name for your hope you've given us in Christ.
Oh Lord, we are so thankful that wherever sin abounds, grace does
much more abound. That our Lord Jesus Christ was
smitten and afflicted. And out of that smiting came
our life, came our hope, came our salvation, came our cleansing,
came our acceptance. All our sins washed away. And
we thank you for it. And Lord, we do pray again for
our dear brother and his wife, for others among us whose bodies
still weak, Bill and Dorotha. Lord, we pray for Pam. Oh, we
especially pray for Pam. Oh, God. Oh, Lord. Please help her. Touch her. Touch her body. Let her be well. Let her be well. Do it for Christ's
sake. For the Lord Jesus' sake. We
bless you and praise you. For Christ's name. Amen. Amen.
