<TITLE>26. Par 254-263</TITLE>L-254   He was on his road, so there was nothing going to stand in his way. No, sir. Right in the line of duty, with God, there was nothing going to stand in his way. So he just picked up the gates and put them on his shoulder, weighed about four or five tons, and walked up on top of the hill and sat down on them. Nothing going to stand in his way. He had an anointed gift from God. He didn't have to cry out, "Lord, what must I do now?" He was already anointed to do it. That was THUS SAITH THE LORD, "Get rid of them!" Hallelujah! "Get rid of them! I've raised you up for that purpose." Amen.

L-255 "What must I do, Lord? Uh, what am I going to do here at the Red Sea?"

L-256 "Didn't I tell you that I gave you a mountain for a sign out here? You are coming back to that mountain, and you're going to take these children to the land. Didn't I call you for that purpose? What are you worried about anything else stand in the way? Speak, and start moving!" Amen and amen! "Yeah, I called you for this purpose."

L-257   David, he knew he was anointed, and was a vindicated to be a good shot. He knowed that they knowed he was a good shot. David was anointed. He know it. And when he stood before Goliath, he never cried, "O God, what must I do now? Wait, must I--I... I know what You did in the times past. You, You let me kill a bear, and You let me kill a lion. But what about this Goliath out there?" Huh! He never did that. He just spoke. What did he say? "You will be like they were, in your eyes." He spoke and went forward.

L-258 He never prayed a prayer. He never offered nothing. He knowed he was anointed. Amen. He was anointed, and that slingshot had proved the right kind of a thing. He had faith in his anointing. He had faith that God could direct that rock right straight in the middle of that helmet there, where the only place could be hit. He was standing there.

L-259   He knowed he was a good shot. Amen. He knowed God made him that. Amen. He knowed he had killed a lion, he knowed he had killed a bear, but that was with his earthly father's possession. Here is his Heavenly Father's possession! Amen. He didn't get down, "Must... What must I do now, Lord?" He spoke and said, "You will be like the lion and the bear, and here I come." Amen! Glory to God! Yes, sir. He spoke and went forward to meet this Goliath. Oh, my!

L-260 Regardless of his size! He was a little, ruddy-looking fellow, you know. He wasn't very big. He wasn't very handsome to look at, little bitty drawed-up sort of a fellow. The Bible said he was ruddy. Now, regardless of his size and his so-called ability to do so.

L-261 You know, the--the bishop told him, said, "Now look here, son, that man is a theologian. See, he is a fighter. He was born a fighter and he's a... He's been a fighter, from his youth; and you're no match for him." And his brothers said, "Oh, you naughty thing. Come out here to do such a thing as that, get on back home."

L-262 That didn't bother him. Why? He knew he was anointed. "The God that delivered me from lion, the God that delivered me from the paws of that bear, He'll more than that, deliver me from that Philistine. Here I come. I meet you in the Name of the Lord God of Israel." Amen. Didn't pray through; he was already prayed through. God prayed him through before the foundation of the world. He was anointed for the job. He had to speak and go forward. That's all there was to do about it, just speak and go forward. Oh, that's all there was to it. Oh! He didn't...

L-263   About his denominational brothers, them scoffers standing there, too, you know. Oh, yes. They were standing there saying, scoffing and making fun, and saying... His brothers, you know, and say, "Ah, ah, ah, you can't. You, you're just naughty." That didn't move him a bit. "You want to be different from somebody else. You just want to show off." If that had been showing off, it'd a-been so. But they only looked at the intellectual side.
