<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Saul found out that that theological vest of his didn't fit a man of God. And usually it don't. That's right. When a man of God is borned of the Spirit of God, brother, he goes with God.
Notice him. Here he was. He said, "Let me go fight him." So he took this little sling in his hand; he said, "Let me go with what I know that I've tried. I've proved this thing, and I know it's all right." Have you? The Holy Spirit, not somebodies embalming fluid that they pushed into you by some of their seminaries, but I mean by the power of the Holy Ghost. "You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you."
Someone the other day, teaching, said, talking about Apollos, up there, that good Baptist preacher. Paul walked up to him said, "Oh, yes, you're a fine fellow, but have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"

L-26 He said, "Oh, oh, I--I thought I got the Holy Ghost when I believed." They still teach that, but it's wrong. Faith's all right. Faith is good. Faith's got... Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto by-or for righteousness, but God give him the seal of circumcision as a seal of his faith.
Brethren, when you got pure genuine faith in God, God will give you the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a seal of the promise, which is a seal, that you have faith. You might make a--a--a some kind of an impression, or make people believe, or you might say you got faith, but when you really got genuine unadulterated faith, God will give you the baptism of the Holy Ghost as a seal of the promise. Amen. That's not skim milk now, children.

L-27 Now remember, take it, believe it. Put your faith and turn it loose yonder with God, and the Holy Ghost will come upon you. He promised it. Then, brother, the devil looked like a little bitty fellow.
A man was telling me the other night; he said he had a dream. And said he dreamed the devil was a little bitty old devil got after him. And said, "The devil said, 'Boo.'" And he jumped back. And every time he jumped back, the devil got bigger. He jumped back, and he jumped back, and he jumped back, and the devil got bigger and bigger all the time. And after while, he... He knowed he had to fight that devil, so the only thing he had to do then, he said he just reached over and got the Bible, and he kept backing back. He said he made a hit at him, and the devil started getting littler, going down. Said, "He knowed he had to fight him sometime."

L-28 Brother, every time he hollers, "Boo" and you jump back, he will just keep getting bigger, but when you take God's Word and stand there and say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, it's written." He will take his flight; he will get littler.
Look up there and say, "Well, looky here, what kind of condition are you in?"
"I'm looking at this; I'm looking to what He said." Amen.
God had promised. David got this little old sling, picked up five stones, put one in the slingshot, old Goliath looked over at him and said, "Well, what am I, a dog? Look what's coming to fight me." He didn't understand what it was all about. He said, "Why, today," he cursed him in the name of his gods, and he said, "why, today, I will give your flesh to the birds."
David said, "You met me as a Philistine, in the name of a Philistine, with an armor and a spear, but I meet you in the Name of the Lord God of Israel. And this day, God will give me..."
