<TITLE>15. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 What did he have in his hand? A stick. Whole lot to go against about a several million armed men, chariots, horsemen, spears. Look at all the big spears the Egyptians had. Look at the big chariots with sabers on the wheels, running like this to chop the men down as he drove through them. Look at the horses with even spears out in front of their heads on their plates like this, as they run through men to--to kill a man as he run through. Not hundreds, not thousands, but millions...
And here comes an old man, little old flabby arms, little old piece of cloth wrapped around him like this, old, and long white beard, eighty years old, stick in his hand, his eyes a shining, this smile across his face, pulling this mule behind him. Here he goes, going down to take over all of Egypt. Amen. And he did it. No, he wasn't fooling; he'd seen God. Amen.

L-55 He's just that real today. That's right. And He's just that fanatically in the sight of the world, not only the world, but a lot of church members (True.), just as fanatically. Here he goes down, but in his heart... "Why, Moses, you're not even a trained man. Why, you, you're just a sheepherder. Why, what... How you going to fight with that stick?"
"That's all right. God told me this was all I had, do it."
We might not even have a stick. Maybe you only sing a song; you can testify. Something...?... whatever you got, do it. Use it for the glory of God, no matter what it is. If you can't sing, can't whistle, can't testify, can't--just pass out tracts. Do something else. Let's get going. Ever what's in your hand, use it for the glory of God. God's always had men who'd stick by Him.

L-56 One time the--the Israelite army, all backed up; they'd got away from God. They wanted to act like the rest of the nations, so they went and got them a king and refused God. Got them a fine up-to-date pastor, you know.
And so they... He was all styled up, you know. And the first... Then the devil knew that, so he sent a great big old fellow out there by the name of Goliath. Stood over on the side of the hill, said, "Let me make a proposition with you, you people who claim to be so-and-so. If... You send one of your men over and let him fight with me, and if I kill him, well then, your armies will serve--your nation will serve ours. And if he kills me, then our nation serve yours."
Well, sure, that's the way the devil blows when he's got the odds. That's true. So every Israelite, "Oh, oh, oh. I'm afraid to do that."
Oh, my. I can see them sharpening up their saber and scratching their heads, "Well, I can't do that." They'd been away from the Fire too long. That's all. That's right.

L-57 So one day there was a little old scrawny-looking, dried up boy come up there, and to--and to bring his brothers some raisins, and some raisin candy, whatever he had to bring up to his brothers. His daddy, Jesse, sent him up there. Little old dried up fellow with a piece of sheepskin, a little sheepskin coat on, scrawny-looking, just a little bitty old fellow. And he come walking up there; and brother, Goliath made the boast in the wrong man's ears then.
Said, "Oh, you Israelites over there."
Little David turned around; he said, "You mean to tell me that you'll stand and let that uncircumcised Philistine defy the armies of the living God? Do you mean to tell me that you'll stand in the midst of a world Communistic as it's getting to be and as atheotic as it is, and let them infidels stand up and say, there's no Jesus Christ? and that His Word's not right, Divine healing's wrong? Not while I got breath in my body, they'll won't. No, sir. And God will be with me. Why, certainly."
