<TITLE>17. Par 53-57</TITLE>L-53 Look, the same wind was making one moan and groan, was giving the other one a big time. And I happened to think, "Well, what's this one doing?" And every time that little tree would twist, what would it do? It would pull the roots, loosen up the ground (That's right.), so it could grow deeper and get a better hold. Hallelujah.
And every time God sends His blessings upon a borned again man or woman, it only loosens up the roots to grow deeper, higher, better, freer, glorify God. "But I will restore, saith the Lord."
Where that one was burnt down, the other one is going to grow up as sure as the world. Amen. If there ever was a needy time, it's right now. Men and women are waiting... going away over yonder somewhere. That's the reason I'm trying to get into Africa.

L-54 They take a man and teach him the language of the native. They take him about ten years in college. And it takes him ten years over here. When he comes out, if he goes to the foreign fields, he has got to have a cane to walk on, he's so old.
Brother, the only thing you need is a baptism of the Holy Ghost and a honest heart. Amen. You know that's the truth.
Wait for nothing. God called you, get going. Ride on the street, tell somebody. We need another Stephen day. When God sent Stephen down there, where they tried to kill him and everything else, he was like a house on fire in a windy day. Put it out if you can. The more you fan it, the worse it'll get. Hallelujah! It's the truth.

L-55 Oh, I know you think I'm crazy. Go ahead, that's all right. I'm happy this a way. Let me tell you, brother. Yes, indeedy. If there is a time that we need to ever get to going, is today.
I think about back there in the time, when Moses back there... I was talking of him the other night. When God said... You say, "Well, wait till I can get ready." When God called Moses, he didn't have nothing in his hand but a stick.
God said, "What is that in your hand?"
He said, "A stick." Not very much.
But said, "Take that."
"How am I going down to whip that army."
"Well, what you got in your hand?"
"A stick?"
"Take that and go down. Whatever is near you, pick it up and go on." And away went Moses down there, a one man invasion to take over Egypt with a stick in his hand. God told him take what he had.

L-56 I seen not long ago; I was having a--a meeting in a football stadium. And as I went in, I read a little sign. It always struck me. It said up there, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight. But it's the size of the fight in the dog." And that's true. Amen.
It's what you've got in you, what your make-up is. Yes, sir, brother. I admire a little old Airedale. He is not very high, but he is all dog. I like that. I like a man when he is borned-again, no matter how little, or how uneducated, or what he is. He's all man. He's all God. He's out for the thing; He stands for it. Amen. That's what I like. A people, no matter how little you are, how you're called holy-roller, a off-cast, whatever it is, stand. Hallelujah!

L-57 I can see the time back there when old Samson was out there, he had a blessing of God upon him. And a bunch of Philistines got up on him. A thousand of them begin to run up on him. He didn't have nothing. Now, and all these Philistines standing there.
What if he said, "Now, wait till I get out and learn how to spar. Wait till I learn how to do this. Wait till I get--learn some fencing, know how to duel and so forth. Maybe I can get me a sword and come back. Perhaps in just a little while, maybe I'd can whip some of these Philistines." Ha! Not that. The only thing laying close to him was the--the jawbone of a mule. And he picked that up, and the Spirit of God come on him, and he killed a whole group of Philistines.
What we need today is get out and do something. There's a emergency on. We ain't got time to hang around and fuss around with the things. Let's get going.
