2 EXODUS 4: 2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 2

3 E PERSEVERANCE NEW YORK, NY 108 I think of his sheep. There David was, such a loyal man to his post of duty. And this lion, which could have killed him easy, come in and took one of the father's sheep, and went out. And he didn't have nothing, really, to fight the lion with, but a little slingshot. 3

4 E PERSEVERANCE NEW YORK, NY (cont d) 110 That's all David had; wouldn't hardly kill a rabbit. But we find out that David, whatever he had in his hand, it wasn't very much, but he had courage. And he knew that was the father's sheep. And he was--he was sent out, by the father, to 4

5 E PERSEVERANCE NEW YORK, NY (cont d) take care of these sheep. He was responsible for them. And now he took whatever he had in his hand, and took out to get that sheep, persistently, that he would take it away from that lion. 5

7 EXODUS 4: 2 And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 7

8 JUDGES 3:31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel. 8

9 EPHESIANS 6 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 9

10 EPHESIANS 6 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 10

11 2 CORINITHIANS 10: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 11

12 2 CORINITHIANS 10: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 12

13 Joel 3: Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your 13

14 Joel 3:9-11 pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. 11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 14

15 Daniel Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. 15

16 Daniel But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 16

17 AT THY WORD WEST PALM BEACH, FL Daniel prayed. The Angel said it was twenty-one days, I believe, before (Is that right?)--before he got to him. Now, we must remember it's God, but when God has said anything, it's the Truth. Hold right onto it. It's got to happen. If you weaken, then unbelief will take over. But you stay with the Word of God. 17

18 E THE PATMOS VISION JEFF., IN Now, the devil say, "See, He delays." That don't make any difference. Daniel prayed one time and it was twenty-one days before the Angel ever got to him, but he wasn't discouraged, he knowed He'd come anyhow, so he just waited till He got there. 18

19 NOTE (WMB) Sometimes God cannot answer spontaneously. Sometimes God can't answer just at the moment. God can't come to your rescue just at every minute. God don't always come just in an instant. 19

20 Sometimes they can't get to you just as they wish. Sometimes they can't get on a spur of the moment. He had been delayed twenty-one days because of the evil of the land. 20

21 NOTE DAVID S SLING/STONES 21

22 NOTE (WMB): STONE give him another name of Peter, which means "confession," or "little stone." Now, we know that confession is a stone. Decisions means "a stone, a confession." 22

23 NOTE (WMB) As I have said before, what good does a stone do if you haven't got a stone mason there with a sharp Word to cut that stone into a placed stone for the building? 23

26 Bro. Branham said: David knew he was a good shot. And he didn't have nothing, really, to fight the lion with, but a little slingshot. wouldn't hardly kill a rabbit whatever he had in his hand, it wasn't very much, but he had courage. he had killed a lion he had killed a bear 26

27 Bro. Branham said this about David: Little old David was a dancer. And here he went up there just a dancing in the Spirit as hard as he could. Why? By faith he saw the victory. Amen. He saw the victory. He took his little old sling in there, one of these stones, and he give a dance and here he comes, coming around. 27

28 Bro. Branham said: Watch, he had five stones, J-e-s-u-s, wrapped up in five fingers: f-a-i-t-h. What was in his hand? A slingshot. But God was with him. That's the main thing. David looked up to God and said, "I can't lose that one, You help me, Lord." Brother, he got the thing to working right, around and around and around. 28

29 Bro. Branham said: And when you get faith in Jesus Christ, working in a perpetual motion in your soul, something's going to take place. Sin and sickness will get away from you; devils will scatter like roaches on a floor in the summertime, when the light's turned on. 29

30 Bro. Branham said: And when he set that loose, the Holy Ghost got a hold of that little old stone and picked up a speed about a thousand miles per second, struck that giant between the face and he fell forward. The Holy Ghost got a hold of the rock, and away it went. Goliath went to the ground. 30

31 Like a little Jim Crow, danced up there, jumped up on him, pulled his sword out, chopped his head off like that. Said, "How do you like that, boy?" Reached down and got him by the hair of his head. Said, "Come on, boys, let's preach Divine healing." Way they went. Hallelujah. And you know what they done? The rest of them seen it could be done, and they cut Philistines plumb to the wall. Glory. 31

32 GOD COMMISSIONING MOSES If you're not a preacher, testify, do something somewhere. Don't stand still. If you're washing the dishes, why, testify to the neighbor. Get out and pass tracts; do something. Don't stand still. What is in your hand? Get doing something. And whatever is at your hand, use it. 32

33 THE MIGHTY CONQUEROR DALLAS, TX Fight with what's in your hands. If it's singing, sing the Gospel. If you can't do nothing but whistle, whistle just as loud as you can for the glory of God. If you can't do no more than pat your hands, pat them. Conquer with whatever you got in your hand. Clap them in such a way, that all the neighbors will love you. Whistle in such a way, that all denominations will know that you belong to Christ. Conquer them; play the game fair. Play it right. 33

35 LAW CHICAGO, IL Now, it's a strange thing that this is so much thought of people; they say, "Well, I'm weak; my faith is not very much; I'm not a very good Christian." That's just what the devil wants you to say. You're just talking his language right then. See? 35

36 LAW CHICAGO, IL You mustn't never say that. Don't never let your testimony be negative; let it be positive all the time. "I am saved. I have God in my heart. I believe Him with all my heart." 36

37 AS I WAS WITH MOSES LA, CA E-14 Let him that's weak say, "I am strong." See? Just say in your heart that "I am now strong. I have now accepted Jesus as my Healer," and never have any negative testimony any more, just believe it, God is under obligation, or Jesus 37

38 AS I WAS WITH MOSES LA, CA Christ is-- sitting at the right hand of the Father to accept you; for He's setting there the High Priest of your confession to make good before the Father anything that He died for, that you're confessing that He done. There you are. 38

39 E JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER CHICAGO,IL Well, the Scripture, I believe, some place says that the devils tremble when the weakest of saints goes to their knees. What a power and a privilege has been given to the Church of the living God. When you fall to your knees in prayer even the devils tremble, to the weakest of them. Think of it. 39
