<TITLE>19. Par 200-209</TITLE>L-200 And said, "Well, here, there's a bunch of ministers that I'm here to represent out of this big city." Said, "If you'll tell them that the Angel of the Lord that gives you these visions told you to baptize in Jesus' Name, then they're willing to accept It."
"Well," I said, "their experience is weaker than dishwater." I said, "I don't care what any angel would say, if it ain't according to the Word, I don't believe it." I said, "If that angel told me something different from That, I wouldn't believe the angel." Right. God's Word's first above all angels and everything else. A true Angel... I said, "If he didn't tell me That, I wouldn't listen to him." Yes.
The lady didn't know what to do. She said, "I never heard of such. I never knew about it." See, there you are. So I give the little lady some Scripture. And she said, "I'm going right straight back home and study the New Testament. I've never studied it." See? There you are. Oh, my. Oh, my. That's where you get. Oh, my.
Quit trying to hold on. Turn loose. That's what you want to do: turn loose. Jacob, when he turned loose he was all right, he become a prince and had power with God.

L-204 It was little David with his Saul's ecclesiastical jacket on, that went out to--to--to fight Goliath. And when David started out there to fight Goliath with all this big armor on, he looked around, and he looked back; he looked like the rest of them, so he said, "There's something wrong here."
As long as you're like the world and compromising with the world, and doing the same thing that the world is, there's something wrong.
David said, "This looks too fortified. I've got a Doctor's Degree; I got a Ph.D. See, I belong to a great organization, how could I ever go fight with all this stuff? I don't know nothing about it. I don't know nothing about it." David said, "Take the stuff off of me." That's right. "If I'm going to fight for God, I don't want to look like this bunch of cowards standing here all armored up and pierced up. I can't have a meeting..."

L-207 Many meeting, many men, many ministers that come to me and confess that they believe that Name of Jesus Christ is right to be baptized in, but say "Our organization would put us out." You poor excuse, take Saul's armor off.
Give me the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. God, send me with a slingshot, no matter what it is (how little), beat the enemy down. That's true. Send me, but don't let me dress up like the rest of them with L.L., Ph.D., Doctors, and all that kind of stuff.

L-209 David said, "The thing don't look right." He said, "I don't know nothing about that." He said, "The only thing that I know, that I have--that I... Back on the backside of the desert I was tending my father's sheep." And said, "A lion come in and grabbed the little lamb and run out with it, and I knowed that was my father's lamb, and, oh, I--I--I'm... I wasn't equipped, but I just took my slingshot and went after him." Said, "I slew him and brought the lamb back." Oh, my. Them standing there, a spear in their hand, couldn't have done it.
That's what's the matter today. God's got a lot of sheep that's gone astray; the organizations and things has stole them out, brought them out into psychology. God give us Davids with the Word of God and the power of God to direct it when we go to meet these intellectual giants (Right.) with all the Ph., LL.D.'s, Q.U.S.T.'s, or whatever it might be. Give me the Word of God and the power of the Holy Ghost, and I'll tell you, we can slay every giant on the field. Right. We need men that can...
