<TITLE>33. Par 296-303</TITLE>L-296 Look--look at David pro--pro--portraying Christ. See? When David was coming into power, the first thing, he had an awful time 'fore he got into power. Yet he had the anointing on him, the anointing was on him. And a lot of people thought he was just a little renegade, a little guy that was different, trying to tear up something. But there's some men knowed that he was coming king; they stayed right with him. Brother, I mean you couldn't get them away from him, as they walked on.
One day he stood up there on the mountain, looked down and seen his own little, beloved city besieged by the enemy. And he stood there and remembered when he was a little boy, he used to take the sheep out through there and drink that water, it was real water. (We've spoke of it here not long ago. The Waters of Life.) And there he is, "Think, I drank out of that."
And his least desire was a command to any man he had. Brother, two of those men grabbed their swords and fought through fifteen miles of Philistines, chopping them from right to left, to get him a drink of water out from that well. They knowed he was coming in power. Yes, sir. One time, one of them, to save him, jumped into a pit and killed a lion, single-handed. They were warriors. And when--when he come in power, you know what he done? He made each one of them a ruler over a certain city.

L-299 See Christ there? "He that overcomes shall rule over city." The overcomers... Today when we see that He's coming in power, Christ will rule in this world. Germany, and the United States, and all must fall; every nation must fall. The kingdoms of this world has become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ, and He'll rule and reign on them. That's right.
We know He's coming in power, so the least of His desire is a command to us. He wants me to represent Him in a little bitty Timbuktu where there ain't fifty cents of money, where there ain't nothing, or a poor bunch of people; that's a desire. Amen.
"You don't have to get so many; He don't have to do this, just let me know He wants to go." Amen. That's all.
If He wants me to do different, act different, like these sisters and things "if He wants me to do a certain thing, bless God, it's a privilege for me to do it." There you are. We know He's coming in power, no matter what the world says. If I have to lay aside every weight and the sin does easily beset me, let me run with patience the race that's set before me. Let me look to the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus Christ, coming in power.

L-303 That "elders," the twenty and four elders... All right. Twelve... Over in Revelations we find this. In the Book of Revelation, about 21st chapter, we find that the city of Jerusalem had twelve foundations. Is that right? And he had twelve gates; that was three on each side; three fours is twelve. Just exactly the way the tabernacle set in the wilderness, for John said exactly and saw exactly the same thing that Moses saw when he was up there, same thing that Paul saw.
And now, we notice that the twelve foundation were names of the apostles. And the twelve gates had a name of each tribe on the gate. How we look at that and see those twelve elders, the twelve tribes, the twelve apostles, the twelve foundations, the twelve gates. Oh, my. Take them numerals of God and you can't miss it nowhere; she'll run right smack straight everywhere every time.
