<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>55-0119, This Great Warrior, Joshua, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 63 min
L-1 Joshua... Last night on David the great warrior, his position in Christ and what he did about it, and tonight, Joshua... And tomorrow night, the Lord willing, we'll get another great hero, or someone to speak on their life.
And now being that there's not too many here, and most of them has accepted their healing and so forth, I give a lot of the time to bringing forth the Word to encourage and to positionally place the people. I feel led of the Holy Spirit to do that (See?), to let the people, these who are here... I--I'd say like this: How many Christians are here tonight raise up your hands? Let... Christians, no matter what church you belong to... About ninety-nine percent, maybe ninety-nine and nine-tenths percent (See?), is Christians. Maybe there'd be eight or ten people in here, maybe tonight, that's not Christians. See?
Well now, and that... What must you do to that people? All right, you must positionally let them know what they are (See?), who they are, and how to handle the evil one. Then there's thousands in Chicago tonight who's not Christians. So you're the--going to be the warriors; you're the preacher.

L-2 Someone as I was telling you... I never finished it, about the little word that someone wrote me, a criticism (Not in this meeting, now, in another meeting), said, "Reverend Branham, I had lots of confidence in you as a man of God until I heard you say, under your inspiration, that you was a prophet." Well, said, "You don't say it but just at that time." Well, that wasn't me saying it then; it was Him. So argue with Him about it. He's the one. And after all, my dear friend, you know what a prophet is, a New Testament prophet? Is a preacher, is exactly. A prophet is a preacher. The word "prophet" means "to foretell or tell forth," either preach or foretell. And now, if you can't believe the Bi--the dictionary for it, here's what the Bible says about it. The Bible said, "The testimony of Jesus Christ is a Spirit of prophecy." Is that right? So every one of you are prophets to testify of Jesus Christ. See? It's the Spirit of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.

L-3 So now, may the Lord bless us as we read His Word. I suppose you've turned to it by this time, Joshua 3, a great warrior that I always admired here in the Scriptures.
 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so will I be with thee.
And now over in the--the 6th chapter, or the 5th chapter of Joshua and the 12th verse, we read this:
 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
 And he said, Nay; but the captain of the host of the LORD am I... come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoes from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

L-4 Now, just another word of prayer. Father, these are Thy words, and we pray that You will take these words now and magnify them, put the--before each one of us, that we can see the real meaning of these words and of Thy great servant Joshua. And we pray that You'll plant the seed in every heart; may the Holy Spirit take this Word of God and place it in every heart. And in returns, may it bring forth a hundredfold in fruits. For we ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.
