<TITLE>15. Par 165-172</TITLE>L-165   Noah... Moses, his works, expressed faith in the promise of the God that he believed. Pharaoh, the man, could see what was. Not... he couldn't see how Moses was going to do it, but he knowed Moses believed what he was talking about or he wouldn't be standing in the palace there with a stick in his hand. Said, "By this stick, I'll take them out from you." An old man, eighty years old, not an athlete; old man, stooped shoulders, and whiskers hanging down to his... probably his waistline; and gray hair, if he had any. And there with that stick in his hand, saying, "'I'm going to take them out, let the people go,' THUS SAITH THE LORD. And if you don't do it, God's going to judge you." Amen! Why? That's... See, it... Was he afraid? Why, just one arrow, one spear, anything else would have ended it. He was fearless! He knowed exactly where he was standing; said, "God will smite thee, Pharaoh." Yes, sir.

L-166 For God told him, "You will come to this mountain again," and he knowed he was going there.

L-167 Hallelujah! We know where we're going too, at the end of this journey. God has promised! There's a Land beyond the river. Be fearless in your testimony. Amen. If it's revealed to you, you are fearless. You don't care if the whole world... what they say; you're fearless. When it's revealed to you, "This is the Truth coming from God," then you can't be fearless. If not, you can't be.

L-168   David, with a shepherd's sling, expressed to the whole Israelite army, the faith that he had in their God. Now, there was Goliath on the other side, and he stood out there and made his boasts. Many times bigger than David, he had fingers fourteen inches long. And he was a mammoth, big fellow, the Philistine giant. And here was David, the smallest one, he was even too little to be in the army; too much of a runt, they couldn't use him. So, his brothers was out there in the army. And, then, Goliath was making his boasts.

L-169 But David, now remember, it was revealed to David. He thought, "Here is the armies of the living God, standing in their own land, and there's a boasting uncircumcised Philistine out there." We'll call him "cancer" tonight, we'll call him "paralytic."

L-170 Why, David was no kind of a match for him, not with any kind of a weapon; he was no match. That man's shoulders was probably ten, twelve foot across; he was probably standing fourteen, fifteen foot high. A spear like a weavers needle, probably twenty foot long, the blade on it maybe four foot across.

L-171   And a little David standing there with a little piece of leather, goatskin or sheepskin, with two pieces of string tied to it. But it was revealed to him! Revelation struck him! Amen! He said, "The God that took me out of the paws of the bear, that took me out of the paws of the lion, how much more will He deliver that uncircumcised Philistine in my hand!"

L-172 His brothers, way more able to do it. Saul, head and shoulders above his army. But, you see, it wasn't revealed to them. Amen. There it is: they believed it could be done, they believed that God could do it, but it wasn't revealed to them; but it was revealed to David. So there's the difference, right there. If it's absolutely revealed to you that God is going to heal you, you're--you're going to get it. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] You're going to get it. I don't care what's wrong with you, what the odds, it may be worse than David and Goliath. But if it's revealed to you...
