<TITLE>12. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 There was a little old boy there knowed what he talking about. He said, "What's this? You mean to tell me that you'll stand and let the--that uncircumcised Philistine defy the armies of the living God?" Amen. He knowed what he was talking about. Oh, my. Goliath, you've made your wrong boast then.
And when it fell on David's ears then his brother said, "Now, looky here: I know the naughtiness of your heart. Now, you just quit saying such things as that." Some of them said, "Why, he can marry the king's daughter, and he will give him riches. And his father's house will be free in Israel and so forth."
He said, "What's this you all talking about now?" My, just a little bitty old fellow, that's just the way he...

L-38 Why, you can't go by looks. That's right. You don't go by looks. You go by what's in the heart. That's right. If you go by looks, why, Israel would've had a awful time when they thought they could get water out of a rock. That was the driest place there was in the nation. But God said "Speak to the rock. That's the thing that's got the water."
Then they say today, if there is such a thing as Divine healing, it would be in some of those great big classical churches. That's just what you think about it. See? That's right. Maybe it's the driest place you've ever seen, but there's water there if you'll just speak to it. Amen.

L-39 Now, I want you to notice. Then when David, I can just see him walk up there, and as they brought him up before the king. Said, "Now, wait a minute here," said, "bring that lad up here." And he walked up to him, the David... Saul called him a stripling. He must've been a little bitty old skinny looking fellow (You know?), little shoulders set in, kindly walking along, little old starry eyes looking out to him. He said, "Why, listen, you can't fight that."
He said, "Let no man's heart faint within him because of this giant." Said, "Your servant will go over and fight him." Oh, my. I like that courage. Don't you? Why?
We will see in a minute why he had that courage, what made that different. Yes, sir. He said, "I will go over and fight that giant." And there Saul the great big baby setting up there, pretty near as big a giant, and supposed to be a king in Israel and all this, and then set there afraid to go fight him.

L-40 Puts me in the mind of a lot of these people today, that don't believe in Divine healing. They claim to believe the Bible, and then they're just let the devil walk over them anything. I believe in an old fashion, Holy Ghost experience, borned again, rooted down, twice dead... I--I believe in something that makes a man alive. It puts courage and fire in him. That's right. It'll make him stand toe to toe with the devil on any Divine promise of God and call it the truth, no matter what it looks like.
Little old David... Why, he said "You can't do it."
He said, "You let me go."
He said, "Now, how do you know that you can do it?"

L-41 He said, "Looky here. I'm going to tell you something. I've had some experience." That's what it takes today, is somebody who's had an experience.
David said, "I've had an experience. When I was keeping my father's sheep out there, and a lion come in, and a bear come in, and grabbed a kid, a little lamb, and ran out with it," and said, "I've ran after him and knocked him in the head with this slingshot, and then when I started to take the lamb out of his mouth, he rose up, and I slew him." He said, "The God that delivered the lion into my hands, and the bear into my hands," he said, "how much more will He deliver that uncircumcised Philistine." That's right.
