<TITLE>18. Par 83-87</TITLE>L-83 You say, "David dancing?" Oh, yeah, he was a dancer. One day the ark come in, and his wife was setting up there looking at him. He was a cute little fellow, and she was standing. And here comes the ark across. And David run down there and begin to run and dance and carry on. And his wife said, "You embarrass me."
"Oh," he said, "you don't like that, huh? Watch this." And around and around and around and around and around the ark, dancing. Hallelujah. That's right. Yes, sir. Said, "Watch this."
And then... God looked down out of heaven and said, "David, you're a man after My own heart." Ha, ha. O glory. "You're the very man after My own heart." Little old David was a dancer.

L-84 And here he went up there just a dancing in the Spirit as hard as he could. Why? By faith he saw the victory. Amen. He saw the victory.
He took his little old sling in there, one of these stones, and he give a dance and here he comes, coming around. Oh, I see Goliath saying, "Ho, ho, ho, ho."
What was it? He had five stones: F-a-i-t-h in five fingers wrapped, this string around J-e-s-u-s. Here he comes. Oh, brother. Look out, Goliath. You got to fall.
And when he set that loose, the Holy Ghost got a hold of that little old stone and picked up a speed about a thousand miles per second, struck that giant between the face and he fell forward. Hallelujah. Oh, my.
Like a little Jim Crow, danced up there, jumped up on him, pulled his sword out, chopped his head off like that. Said, "How do you like that, boy?" Reached down and got him by the hair of his head. Said, "Come on, boys, let's preach Divine healing." Way they went. Hallelujah.
And you know what they done? The rest of them seen it could be done, and they cut Philistines plumb to the wall. Glory. Down there the old critics has got their mouths shut now.

L-85 Florence Nightingale, Congressman Upshaw, Queen of England, great men, when the Divine healing power was proved that night yonder at Portland, Oregon, that maniac run to the platform, and God threw the demon right on the ground. Tommy Osborn, Oral Roberts, Jaggers, the rest of them took turns. We've cut them devils plumb to the walls. We've got the victory. Hallelujah.
There goes David marching in, pulling old Goliath's head behind him. Victory, God prepared him a man to take care of it.

L-86 And, brother, about several hundred years after that, the Church of God had become tied down. But I can hear one thing, saying, "Behold, I send a promise of the Father upon you. I want this Gospel preached in all the world. I want signs to follow the believers. I want to heal the sick till I come again. I'm going away, but I give you the keys of the Kingdom. Whatever you ask in My Name, that I'll do. But before you do this, I got to prepare you." Amen.

L-87 They climbed up the hillsides, up yonder to the temple, stayed in the upper room until all of a sudden they got to a place one said, "I don't care if I am a Methodist."
Another one said, "I don't care if I am a Baptist, or Sadducee," till all the differences got out of them. And when they did, they started blessing God. And about that time the preparation come from heaven.
Now, the Catholic church said, "Lick out your tongue, take the holy eucharist, that does it." Holy eucharist, a little wafer... The Protestant church, just as bad; shake hands with the preacher, right hand of fellowship, sprinkle a few little drops of water on top of him, take him in to a...?..."...?...
How far and they're both wrong. But here's what the Bible says the preparation was.
