<TITLE>11. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 Daniel possessed the enemy of the lion, the gate. Moses possessed the Red Sea, and possessed the enemy in Egypt. Why? Because he was Abraham's seed.
Shamgar, a little fellow--one of the judges of Israel--only one verse wrote of him in the Bible. One day he was standing at his barn door. And the Philistines would come in and eat up all their food. They'd work hard all summer and then take their stuff into the garner; and then along come the Philistines and take it away from them.
One day he'd perhaps got all of his food gathered up, looked at his little wife standing there, and she was thin, and little pale-faced children. Looked at the poor little fellows, how they were anemic condition with malnutrition, or something, and looked how they looked at him. And he said, "Well, maybe this winter we can have something to eat. Maybe I can sell all the wheat, and get you a dress for the little girls, some shoes for the little boy."

L-45 Here he heard something coming up the road. Here come a thousand Philistines. Armored, spears, swords hanging at their side, trained men. Tromp, tromp, right up the road they come. Little Shamgar stood there. What could he do? He was a farmer; he wasn't a soldier, and he didn't have nothing to fight with. He looked, setting in the corner, and there was an ox goad. (And you know what that is. Any of you Kentuckians ought to know. When you're plowing, a stick that you punch the ox along with.) So he... There was a ox goad setting there in the corner, and he looked over that. It probably had a little piece of brass on the end of it, where it knocked the dirt off the plow, and punched the ox along as they went along. And there that set in the corner. He stood and looked, coming up the road.

L-46 He didn't have train--time to go train how to duel, you know, and how to use his--his ox goad or a sword. But he remembered one thing, I believe, that he was a circumcised Israelite. He was the seed of Abraham. He had a right to the promise that he would possess the gate of any enemy. Amen. Both sides. He told Rebekah the same thing, and Abraham the same thing.
There he was, the seed of that couple, and he had a right to it, for he was circumcised. He was a--he was a Israelite. He was a seed of Abraham. He had the promise of God that he could possess any gate of any enemy. Hallelujah. The Spirit of God come on him, and he took that ox goad and slew that thousand Philistines. Yes. Why? Because he had a super strength.
Samson had a super strength, because the super Spirit come upon him. That's the reason the jawbone didn't break, we was talking about last night. It was a super. That's exactly right. All those were natural seed of Abraham.

L-47 But there come a Royal Seed of Abraham. Now, Abraham received Isaac as one from the dead by his wife through sexual. Now, that was one as good as dead. That was the natural seed. But it was pointing to the super Seed to come, the One that wouldn't even have a earthly father; and neither had He an earthly mother.
That struck somebody. All right, Catholic friend, if you call her the mother of God, I want you to show me one Scripture where she was any mother of God. How could God have a mother? Then who was the father? Mary was nothing but an incubator. That's all. Jesus never one time called her mother. He called her "woman," for He was God, and He couldn't call her mother. Right. These dogmas and traditions has--has killed the people. Called her "woman."
One day they said, "Your mother's waiting for you." Looked up on his disciples, said, "Who is My mother? They that do the will of My Father." She's just a woman that God used, not no mother of God. Mercy, no. That's sacrilegious to even think of such a thing.
