<TITLE>22. Par 232-241</TITLE>L-232 Now, what was it? Now, he was... David was the most unlearned one in the bunch. He had no schooling of fighting; he knowed nothing about it. So he had no schooling for none of this battle was set before him, but he recognized that there was a God. And he took the weakest thing; they had spears, armors, bows, and everything else, and David had a little slingshot with a rock in it. But, see, he knowed what he could trust in. He confessed his weakness, but his faith in God. He said, "I don't want no shield over me to knock nothing off. I don't want to come up there, say, 'Now, will you brothers cooperate with me? I belong to the Assemblies; I belong to the Presbyterian; I'm a Methodist; I'm a Baptist; will you brethren cooperate with me?' I don't want none of that stuff. 'Here, I'll show you in my pocket, I got my degree. I just got my Bachelor of Art. I'm from the University of So-and-so; I--I was schooled up there. I got so. Oh, I can speak. I'm this, that.'" He didn't want none of that stuff.
All he wanted, he said, "I got my trust in God and here I go." That's it. And the giant went down. That's right.
That's what we need today, brother. We need, today, men like David, not university experiences.

L-236 It was little Micaiah, little Micaiah, the son of Imlah, poor, rejected, cast out of all the denominations because of his true stand for God. But there come a man of God one time, down, by the name of Jehoshaphat, and said in there, "I want to know the true Word of God."
Saul said, "I got four hundred of the best you ever knowed." Said, "They've all got their degrees; they've all trained up here in school." Said, "Why, they're the best preachers you ever heard." Said, "I'll bring them right out and we'll consult the Lord for you."
But then he come out there and he looked around, Jehoshaphat said, "Yeah, I hear this one say that, and I hear that one say it," but said, "have you got another one? Haven't you got another one?"

L-239 God was going to get a message to this true heart. There's only one of them standing there, but God's got a man for that one. Amen. If there's only one true heart, somewhere God's got a man for him. Jehoshaphat was a real man, God-fearing king, and he had sense enough to know that their messages was wrong. He knowed it was contrary to the Word. Amen (O Brother Neville.) Jehoshaphat knowed that.
He said, "Well, I--I've went down the whole record, the chart here in this seminary. I've got every one of them out here." Said, "Well, looky here, this one's got... Well, look at the degrees he's got. Look at this one here," says, "look--look at the degrees that he's got. Look at Zedekiah here; he's the head of all of it. Why, he's a bishop; he's over all of us. Surely you'll take his word."
Jehoshaphat said, "Yeah," said, "I--I--I..."

L-241 "Yeah, well, look, look, all the rest of them agree with him. They're all one great unit. And you can't say they're not Hebrews. You can't say they're not prophets; here's the degree proves they are."
Jehoshaphat said, "Yeah, I--I--I know, Ahab." Said, "That--that's all right, but..."
Said, "What are you... How you going to ask me for any more? There's my whole school. There's every organization together."
"But haven't you got one that don't belong to that group? Isn't there one somewhere?"
"Well, what would he be? He'd be an uneducated illiterate. Well, what would you want with a guy like that?"
"But--but I'm just asking you. Haven't you got one, somewhere?"
