<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 David, before anything ever happened, before he'd ever had the anointing oil on him in anything, he knew God was with him. He killed a bear; he killed a lion with that slingshot. And he knowed that was super to an ordinary man to do that. He knew what he could do. He knew God was with him, because his whole heart beat after God. He said in the 47th Psalm, I believe or somewhere there, "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so my soul thirsts after thee, O God." No wonder he could play the evil spirits away with his music; he had something to play about. And it come from his heart. And the devil knew that was from his heart. And he knew that David was elected of God.
And there he was elected, called, anointed, and positionally already king. Amen.

L-28 Let me drop this on the side. Don't think I'm excited; I'm not. Look, let me drop this on the side. They who had spent... How many here is justified by faith, believing on the Lord Jesus Christ? Every one of you put your hands up is justified by faith. Is that right? The Scripture said, "Those who he has called, he has justified; and those who he has justified, he hath glorified." Amen. In the Presence of Almighty God your name's indelibly wrote with the Blood of Jesus Christ, glorified in His Presence, positionally placed here on earth for a purpose, to do the will of God. You see your position, Christian?

L-29 Oh, my. Them fellows up there couldn't understand it, but David had the anointing oil on him. He knowed where he was standing. Old Goliath stood out there. And he said, "Now, look, let's reason. Why, there's no need of God's armies being defeated. Well, look at that fellow standing out there with his big boast."
"Well, we know God did it, but the days of miracles is past." Not for David, he was anointed. He knowed where he was at positionally.

L-30 You say, "Brother Branham, can I accept Christ as my Healer now?" Certainly. "Well, if I'm not well in five minutes, what about it?" You're healed anyhow.
If you believe it, you wouldn't ask me that question if you believed it. There's no question in your mind when you really believe it. You don't question it; you believe it. Other people might question it, but you don't question it.
If you said to me, "Brother Branham, give me an oak tree." You're from down in southern Indiana where they have the big white oak and so forth. "Give me an oak tree." And I'll give you an acorn. Well, you've got a oak tree, potentially. It's in the seed form; but it's an oak tree; you've got it in a acorn.
When we take God's Word, we got in a seed form. When we can accept Divine healing by God's Word, that settles it. Amen. It'll grow.
Take the old acorn, and bury it in the ground, and stand off there, and watch her for a little while, and see what takes place. Your oak tree comes right on up with it. Because the life is in the seed, and God's Word is a Seed and It's alive. If you can just simply receive it, take it out of that Bible and said, "It means me," (amen), then you got something. That's right. All the demons couldn't stop you from it. No matter what anybody would say, you wouldn't believe it because you know where you're standing.
