<TITLE>10. Par 35-37</TITLE>L-35 David didn't know how to fight with them kind of clothes on. Like a man trying to preach, how can he preach when he got a great big lot of stuff you have to stand and read it just as fast as you can, and look up at the microphone, read it just as fast as you can. You couldn't do that; neither could I. Best thing to do is get out there and say, "Lord, here I am. What you want me to say, tell it to me. I'll tell them about it." Amen. Don't wait and say, "Now, wait till Mr. Jones gets away from my side here, and then I'll believe it, but I'll say, 'Amen' then." Say, "Amen" anyhow, if God said do it. That's right.
"Well, I know Miss Susie setting over there; she lives next door to me." Live right. Live right. You ain't ashamed of your life, are you? If you are, then you need a conversion. That's right. Miss Susie would be expecting you to say "Amen," and she's expecting you to believe God, and expecting you to produce what you talk about. Whew. That scorches, doesn't it? But it's good for you. That's right.

L-36 David knew where he was standing. He said, "Yes, sir, God will deliver that uncircumcised Philistine in my hand." So he said, "Take this stuff off of me." And Saul found out that his ecclesiastical vest didn't fit a man of God. That's right.
David said, "I trust this little old slingshot, so I'm going to keep right with it."
I tell you; it was the Holy Ghost that saved me, I don't care what takes place. I've knowed a man that received the Holy Ghost that got out on the field just to be popular and deny it. I know women and men that's received the Holy Ghost the old fashion way, and go out on the field and because just a little popularity, denied anything about It. Oh, God have mercy. It's the baptism of the Holy Ghost that's brought me this far; it's baptism of the Holy Ghost take me on. That's all. Yes, sir. If it was good for me back there, it's good for me right now and will be in the hour of my death, just the same way. If it's good for you back there, it's good for you now, and it'll be good for you when you're dying. Amen. Think of it.

L-37 Here we are. David said, "Sure, I know how to trust this slingshot." So he goes out there and gets his--gets ready to go fight. Now, I imagine Saul said, "Now, if that fellow has refused my instructions and how to go, and my train--my ability to train men, and what kind of armors they have to have, 'fore they become a missionary or whatever it is..." Said, "Wonder what in the world that kid's going to do?"
So I see David out there looking along, picking him up some rocks. Would you imagine, a country boy right, picking him up some rocks, pulled out his little old slingshot and unwound it like that. He said, "Well, wonder what he's going to do with this?"
He picks him up five little stones, five little stones. And he puts them down in his little satchel here on his side. It's a little a--a... Really what it is, the Scripture said it was a scrip bag.
You know what they carry in that scrip bag? As I've oftentimes said. Shepherds usually carried honey in the scrip bag. And when one of their sheep got sick, they got some of this honey and pushed--put on a rock. Just melted it and poured it out on the rock like that. And here come the sheep along, and he liked that sweet stuff; and he'd go to licking on this limestone rock; and when he licked all the honey off he got the limestone; and it healed the sick sheep.
So now I've got a whole scrip bag full of honey here, and I'm going to put it on the Rock, Christ Jesus; and you sick sheep get to licking right quick; and you'll find out there be some healing take place. That's right. And we won't put it on any church, any denomination; we'll put it where it belongs, on Jesus Christ, the Rock, where all healing belongs, on the Rock, Christ Jesus.
