<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>55-0118, This Great Warrior, David, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 68 min
L-1 In the 17th chapter of I Samuel, if you so desire to read with me, and begin with the 31st verse...
 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
 And David said unto Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
 And Saul said unto David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
 David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
 And thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing that he has defied the armies of the living God.
May the Lord add His blessings to this Word. Just for a few moments now I want to speak on this great warrior David. And tomorrow night, God willing, I want to speak on Joshua the warrior.

L-2 Now, tonight being David's night, David has always had a real place in my heart, because he was--he was, as God said to him, "A man after His own heart." I like to see people who know where they're standing, who knows what they're talking about. I like to hear people talk no matter what they are, what religion they belong to, or what subject they're talking on, if they know what they're talking about. And I--I like that.

L-3 And David was a little shepherd lad; he lived in Bethlehem with his father, which was from the tribe of Ephraim. And a noble little fellow, the eighth child of this father, Jesse, which was a Ephraimite. And David, from the very beginning of his days borned here on this earth, he knew that God was with him. Before he was ever blessed or anointed, he knew God was with him. If you'll watch the story real close, how that God...
Last night we were speaking on the same thing, that gifts and callings are without repentance. It's God's election and foreknowledge is what makes the thing so. If we have a desire, the Bible said, "It's not him that willeth, or him that runneth, but it's God that showeth mercy." See? It's not whether you will, or whether you want to, or where your desires is, it's whether it is God's will or not. Then we have to find out God's will, and if it's that perfect, we can just set our faith to that and say, "This is it." And we can run right on the way the will of God runs.

L-4 Now, we know it's God's will to save the lost. We know it's God's will to heal the sick. Now, if we can positionally place ourself in His will, it's over. For this little audience tonight... How many sick people's in here, let's see your hands. Sick people wants to be prayed for raise up your hands, anywhere. Now, just look, there's no... We--we should go home tonight perfectly well. Look at the others...
Say, and by the way, if you're still here, some of the people sent in their testimonies. My, outstanding... Even Brother Joseph is getting them to place in his magazine, testimonies, what the Lord did for the peoples out there just soon as they were spoke to or received the faith. How the Lord Jesus come down in great power and manifested Himself to them, healed them of all kinds of diseases, has departed from the people. Diseases that the doctors couldn't even control has already, since we've been right here in Chicago, the Lord has healed them and they're well now. See? They're here as living testimonies. Going home, find their loved ones healed, and everything, just the way the Lord speaks it. Run it back on the tape and see what He says, watch if that ain't right. See, just what He says, that's just what's going to be.
