Speaking to the Rock
Pastor Keith Hassell
Foundation Scripture: Numbers 20:1-13; 1 Corinthians 10:1-4
I. The River (“life”) of the vision is found in the Rock, who is Christ
II. In the first episode where the people need water, Moses was commanded to strike the rock. Christ was smitten of God for us.
III. In the second episode where the people need water, Moses was commanded to speak to the rock. This speaks of prophesying to the Spirit of Christ in believers.
IV. In the vision, people who are saved need to speak to the Rock of Christ in the hearts of God’s people
V. God has placed a rod in your hand (delegated authority)

IX. Speak to the Rock before their eyes
X. Prophesy to the Rock, and the Rock will yield its water, it will give life to the dry weary bones!
