<TITLE>16. Par 173-185</TITLE>L-173   And notice, when it's revealed, David become fearless. He said, "Today I'll cut your head off!" Amen. Quickly! Our God, by grace, in that crucial moment when decision had to be made, that same God that produced the grace in that day, and dropped that seed of faith in that little hunchback-looking boy, seeing in his heart; that same God, in this crucial moment, could take that woman from the wheelchair, that man there, if you can believe it, with all her trouble. When that little grain of faith is revealed to you. And I don't care how long it takes,...

L-174   Now notice the giant, on the other side, didn't believe it; neither will the cancer. He laughed, he said, "Am I a dog? You send a kid out here to fight me?" Said, "I'll pick you up, on the end of my spear, and let the birds eat your flesh." Why, he had all the... all, everything for his side.

L-175 But, you see, that didn't shake David at all. Why? It was revealed to him. He had faith in what he was doing. He knowed he was going to do it. And he did it, is because that it was revealed to him and he knowed where he's standing.

L-176 And if God would just spoke that, right down in your heart tonight, said "You're not going to be laying in that bed. You're not going to be setting in that chair. You're going to be well," there couldn't be anything change your mind in it.

L-177 But until that's happened, every preacher in the world could pray,... I don't say it wouldn't help you; it would, it'd encourage you. But until that faith... See, the healing power is in you. It don't come from the preacher. It comes to you by revelation, by faith. "Not by power, not by might, but by My Spirit," saith the Lord. "My Spirit, by grace, reveals this to you." And there's nothing can take it away. By faith, revelation! Then, David to prove his works,...

L-178   Now, some of them said, "I know you're naughty." His brother said, "You come up here to see the battle. Now, you run back over where them sheep was."

L-179 He said, "Let me speak to Saul, the general." You see?

L-180 And Saul said, "Now, son, I admire your courage, but, you see, you're nothing but a youth. And he's a warrior from his youth, you're no match for him."

L-181 He said, "I was tending my father's sheep,..." He could base it on something! Amen. O brother! And the God that saved your soul, can't He heal your body? It's just the same, reveal to you, He's your Healer as He was your Saviour. See? But it's got to be revealed first, that's the difference. He had something to base his faith on.

L-182 Said, "Now, this never happened before."

L-183 But said, "The same God that delivered me from the paws of the lion, will deliver me from that uncircumcised Philistine."
"How do you know, David?"
"I believe it."
"Why?"
"It's been revealed to me." And he said...

L-184 He knowed what he was talking about. Because when the giant said, "I'm going to feed you to the birds"; he said "I'm going to cut your head off." There's the difference, see. And he did it!

L-185   Samson, caught out one day (off guard) in a prairie, and here come a thousand Philistines upon him. And he looked down on the ground, and there's where a mule had died, and he picked up the old jaw, jawbone, dry as it could be, and took out after those Philistines, beating them over the head with this old dry jawbone of a mule, and as far as I know, not a tooth ever fell out of it. And them Philistine helmets was probably a inch thick ('cause they beat one another with war clubs in those days), to keep a man from beating them on the head. But he took the jawbone of that mule and beat down a thousand Philistines, and the jawbone never broke. He just kept beating them, like that, as they come up. So, the rest of them took off for the rocks, see, they was getting away from him. Why? He believed it!
