<TITLE>11. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 Someone said, "Now, Brother Branham do you really mean that crow brought him a sandwich?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Well, where did the crow get it?"
I said, "I don't know." The crow got it and brought it to Elijah, and he eat it." I said, "That's the way with the Holy Ghost. You can make fun of me shouting." I said, "I can't tell you where it come from; the Holy Ghost brings it. I just eat it. And I love it and live by it. I don't know where it comes from; but I get it; that's the only thing I know. As long as He brings it, I'm willing to take it." Amen.
"Say, how's that fellow going to walk when he ain't going to the doctor?" I can't help that; when God says so He will do it anyhow. You just watch. It's God's business to take care of His Word. He watches over to perform It, and He's obligated to it; and He will do it in every case (Amen.) to any man or woman that will dare to take Him at His Word. Oh, my. That's the truth.
Yes, sir. Moses went down there, and he did just exactly what the Lord told Him to do. If you just take what you got in your hand and let God have it...

L-35 Now, there was a little fellow one time, a little later on from there by the name of--of David, a little old shepherd boy that lived out on the hillside, feeding his father's sheep. But he knowed the blessing of the Lord was upon him. So he knowed that God was with him. And one day when the armies of Israel had gathered out to fight against the Philistines, why, his father Jesse said, "Now, I'm going to send you over to your brothers; take them some raisins and so forth, and go over and see how your brothers are getting along." Two of the oldest boys was in the war.
So David went out. And you know when he got over there, he saw a sight. The Philistines was gathered on one side and Israel on the other. Saul setting over there, seven foot four inches tall or something, great big princely looking fellow, but across over on the other side of the hollow, over there was the Philistine army and they had a big challenger or a big champion by the name of Goliath. My, he was about nine foot four inches tall, and what a fellow he was. And when the devil knows he's got the edge on you, then he will sure poke it in you if he possibly can.

L-36 So he got out on the hillside there and said, "I will make you a proposition, all you fellows. Let's not cause any bloodshed." See? He's big, and he had the edge on all of them. So he said, "You send, pick you out a man over there in the armies of Israel, and let him come over here, and fight against me; and if I kill him, then you all serve us. If he kills me, then we will serve you." Sure. That's the way the devil will do it.
Now, you take for instance this guy here. "If I could only see this, or that, or that." See? Whenever they can get that kind of an idea...
But one day he made his brag in the wrong man's ear. There was a little old, scrawny looking fellow, probably weighed about a hundred and ten pounds, with the little, shoulders kindly stooped over and a little shepherd's coat wrapped around him. And that morning when the armies walking back and forth, and screaming at one another, and trying to get into the battle, why, this big challenger come out said, "Now, I defy the armies of Israel." But it fell on the ears of the wrong man for him then. Yes, sir.
