<TITLE>19. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 What was it? The Holy Spirit come on him. Hallelujah! There was a need; there was a emergency. Something had to be done. He couldn't wait till he got a education, learn how to fight, and be a warrior, and train up. He had to take what was in his hand and go do something with it.
And brother, what's that close to you tonight? You've at least got the baptism of the Holy Ghost. This whole group here, you raised your hands. What's that? The greatest weapon you can put in your hands, with the Word of God behind It to back It up. Don't let them rob you.
What the palmerworm left, the caterpillar eaten. But this tree will grow again. How, my, we claim to be Christians. How we claim to be warriors of the faith.

L-63 I remember one time, I was reading this story where Caesar was going to make a great parade. And many was going to follow him. And there he was setting on his chair, just riding down the street. And when they did, he stopped over there, he said, "I want all of my officers tomorrow, to meet me here. And I want the one honorable man to ride by my side in this great parade tomorrow."
And all of the officers, they trimmed their plumes, and they polished their shields and everything. And they fixed their big tags on them and so forth. And they was passing by Caesar, each one with his big fine plume, walking straight and sturdy passing by. Caesar looked at them, and setting there...
And after while, a little bitty old doughboy, one of those little footman came by. And he was all cut, and scratched, and scarred, and bruised. He passed by, and just bowed his head, and started to run off, he felt so embarrassed standing before the great emperor. And he started to run away.
And directly the emperor said, "Wait a minute." Said, "Who are you?" Said, "Come here."
He said, "Yes, my lord." He walked up to him and fell down like that. And he raised up.
Said, "My, you're cut up awful." Said, "Where'd you get all them scars and things?"
He said, "Out on the battlefield, fighting for my lord."
He said, "You climb up here and set down. You're the one deserves it." Enough about your D.D.D.'s. I want to show some marks of the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ when I stood forward. Yes, sir.

L-64 Take your stand. Yes, sir. Show some scars. You ain't had no testimony yet; you haven't done nothing. Might as well get out and do something for God. Do something.
Here some time ago, I was reading of Jack Coy, an Indian guide out there in the West. And he was lost one day. And he couldn't find his way in. And he'd been lost, and his horse was about dead. And he was--she was--she was breathing heavy. All the water was gone. He was in the desert. And he was leading her, staggering. A Christian man, he knew it wouldn't be long until death would finally take them.
He was going along and after while, they hit a buffalo trail, where animals had been running. And so, he tried to--to get on the horse. Then he thought maybe they'd go to water, so he jumped on the horse, and he started going down. The horse couldn't hardly walk, and he couldn't either. So, he got down.

L-65 And after while, the trail separated. And one went this way and one went that way. Well, the one went this way just had a few tracks. But the one that went that way was well blazed. And so, Jack pulled his horse around to start that way, and the old horse wouldn't go that way. He wanted to go back this a way. So, Jack tried to spur his horse on. She wouldn't go. She kept nickering, trying to go back this a way.
And he got real angry, and he threw his spurs into her. And he cut her till the blood was running out of her, like that. And she started quivering. She was going to fall. He got off of her, and he think, "She packed me through this desert. She's been good to me and how she... Now, she believes the water is that way. There's not very much of a trail going that way."
And that's the way it is tonight, friends. There is not very much of a trail leads this a way. But it's a way to Life.
