<TITLE>27. Par 264-272</TITLE>L-264 David knowed the anointing oil was on him. Amen. Didn't make any difference to him. He said, "That Philistine will be like the bear and lion, so here I come." He predicted it before it happened. What did he do? He killed the bear. He killed the lion. He knocked the lion down with... What with? With the--with the slingshot, and took a knife, and then the bear. Lion, he killed the lion with a knife. That's the same thing he done Goliath. He knocked him down with a rock, and pulled up his sword, and cut his own head off, right there before it. What did he predict before it happens? "And you will be as they are." Why? He spoke the word that it would be, and then went forward to make it be fulfilled. Amen. Oh, brother! He spake, and took over the situation that day.

L-265   If there ever was a time that man should speak, it's now. Closing, just the next few minutes if you can just bear a few minutes longer. I got some more things wrote down here, some Scriptures I want to get to.

L-266 Peter never cried, when he found a man that had faith enough to be healed, laying at the gate called Beautiful. He never got down and had an all-night's prayer, and, or an all-day's prayer, a big, long prayer, and said, "Lord, I pray You now that You'll help this poor lame man. I see that he's got faith. I know he's a believer. And I've asked him, and he--he... I--I--I... He said he had faith, he would believe what I told him. And I've told him about the... about what You did, and I--I just think now, Lord, that--that... Can You give me a THUS SAITH THE LORD for him?"

L-267 No, he knew that he was anointed apostle. He knowed that Jesus Christ commissioned him. "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. As freely as you received, freely give." He said, "Peter, go do that!" He didn't have to pray through. He was commissioned.

L-268   What did he say? He said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ!" He spoke the Name of Jesus Christ, and the man just laid there. And he picked him up by the hand, and said, "Stand up on your feet!" And he held him there till his ankle bones got strength, and he started walking. Why? He never had an all-night's prayer meeting. He never cried out to God. He knew positive, from the lips of Jesus Christ, he was anointed for this work. Yeah. He spake and raised him up, for he knowed he was anointed apostle for the purpose.

L-269 The people that laid in his shadow never said, "Oh, come, apostle Peter, and cry over us, and pray the prayer of faith for us, to God." No, no, they never said that. They knew he was anointed and a vindicated apostle of God. So they said, "Just let us lay in his shadow. You don't have to say a word. We know it. We believe it." Life within them! The apostle couldn't get to them all. And they, themselves, they're a part of it.

L-270   Moses said, "It's just not me going. We're all going." We all got something to do. We've all got to be anointed.

L-271 And they seen that apostle standing there, and seen him heal the sick man and do the things he did. They know he couldn't get to them. Said, they never said, "Peter, come and--and offer prayer, and wait now until you got THUS SAITH THE LORD, and come tell me. See what the Lord says." They said, "If we can only lay in his shadow, because the very God that was in Jesus Christ is in him, and we see the same thing doing. So they touched the border of Jesus' garment and laid in His shadow, and Jesus is in this man. If that shadow can reflect upon us, we'll be healed."

L-272 And the Bible said every one of them was healed. No all-night's prayer meeting, saying, "Lord, if I go lay in the shadows of this apostle?" No, they knew it. The Light had struck them. Their hearts was full. Their faith was let loose. Amen. They believed it. They had seen it. Paul's hankies, the same way.
Now, in closing.
