<TITLE>11. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 And so then he had a little scrip bag. And not only that, but the scrip bag, really, in one pocket of it carries money. The word "script" means "money." And so he carries money in there. What is that? The money is a purchase of power.
Here's God's scrip bag. Each traveler, or shepherd out there has a scrip bag. So now, if you want something out of there, some purchasing power, if you're sick, reach down here and let's see what I got in the scrip Bag. "I'm the Lord that healeth thee." All right, take it out. It's a power that buys. "Whatsoever thou believest when you pray, believe you receive what you ask for." If you desire it, pray and believe you get it; you shall have it. That's in the scrip Bag. No wonder he put the rocks in there, a good place for the rocks, wasn't it?
Those rocks, little rocks... We are rocks that's in that scrip bag rolled up in honey, wrapped up in script. My, my. And the Shepherd, Christ Jesus, Who never lost a battle, the Shepherd of the sheep is packing the Church tonight in His own glorious protection. Amen.

L-39 Took five rocks... What does--what does five represent? Five stones, one of them was a J, the other one was a E, and a S-U-S, Jesus, five stones... And you are stones in this Stone Christ Jesus.
And he put them down in his little scrip bag so they'd get covered all over with honey, and not only that, but that they'd be endued with power from on high. When God can ever get the Church together again in one accord so He can endue it with power from on high... Power what? To believe His Word, to make it come to pass.
And here he was with all the little honey balls wrapped up now in this scrip bag. And here, and all this honey had been in there, and all this script had been in there. David laid the rocks in there, and he looked over to see where Goliath was standing. Each one of you tonight are a--a David.

L-40 And when David went to meet Goliath, Goliath looked at him and laughed, and said, "Why, what am I a dog, you coming out to meet me like that, a little old ruddy looking boy?" He--he was ruddy, little. You know what Saul called him? Said, "Who is this stripling?"
That's what Saul said. "Who is that stripling out there?" Just a little old kid like, you know, little old sissy looking fellow, probably shoulders stooped over, and here he come with this little sling, but he knowed God; that's the main thing. He was a believer. He was elected. He was called. He was anointed, and he was placed. Hallelujah! No matter whether you're just...

L-41 You say, can that... "Well, Brother Branham, I wasn't called to be a preacher." You might be called to be a housewife, but you got your position in Christ Jesus by the Holy Ghost. Amen. You're just as much David as the rest of them was.

L-42 The battle's on; the Philistines are standing there. Goliath made his charge. Watch him go down. So here goes David. He reaches down and looks out there, and he look--looked Goliath up and down like that. But beyond Goliath he saw the victory, because he trusted in God. He thought, "How much more dangerous that lion is than Goliath. That's a wild beast. I trusted God to direct this shot of mine right straight to the head of that beast. And I can trust God to direct this shot here. For I killed the lion to save one sheep. That's right. God let me save the sheep, because I had faith that He would save that sheep."
God give us some Davids for the sheep's sake. Right. He said, "Then if He's concerned about His sheep, how much more is He about the entire army of the living God. And I'll not let that boaster and bragger come out there, 'Divine healing is past. I'll debate it with you anywhere.'" Oh, my. You'll meet a David one of these days. All right.
