Signs of the Times You know you've always got to keep your head out of the sand and

watch what's happening. I won't you to think for a moment about Gaza, what all's happening there at this moment. All the way up to Ashdod Sisaceria or as some say Caesarea. It's very important what's happening. It's called the gate, Gaza is called the gate of Egypt of old time and that's where the entrance was and they are pouring out of Egypt today and to Gaza now that the Israelis have pulled out. Going to give you some prophecy today from the word and your going to have to kind of piece it together as we go and be sharp. Ok? Think back. Everything I give you will have a purpose. I may not declare totally what it is, so be sure you keep your notes and think. Joshua chapter 11 let's pick it up with verse 21. And it reads. Jos 11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims ( Do you know what that is? It's a giant. Ok?) from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, (That's the place of the grape) and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. However next verse, mark it well. Jos 11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained. They where never driven out. Those where lands allotted to Judah, but Judah never conquered those places. We're going to talk today about a man that did. One single man who was an evangelist. And what weapon did he use? Well, what weapon does and evangelist use? The Word. So with the in mind, again. Now Gaza was conquered later by Alexander, but never by Judah. Ok? That's kind of important. You want to hang on to that, because that's what weaves this end time prophecy together for you whereby you know kind a who fit's in. Now. Um, I want you to open your bibles to Isaiah, I want to go to chapter 56 and pick it up with verse 1. And it reads. Isa 56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, (Always use good judgement. Be fair to people. Don't show parishiality And a when in a position of teaching you must treat everyone the same.) and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. That's for us today. It's not that far off. Isa 56:2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. What is our sabbath? I want you to get that straight in your mind coming out the gate. Let's take it from this angle. What is our High Sabbath? Doesn't matter what day of the year it falls on. It's Passover. And as it is written in 1st Corinthians 5:7 and 8. Who became our Passover? Christ did. Christ is our High Sabbath. Don't pollute Him. Don't pollute His Word. Stay loyal to Him. He has always been loyal to you. So that's how they pollute it. How would they mainly pollute the High Sabbath in this end generation? By worshipping the false sabbath, which is to say antichrist. It's gonna happen beloved and it's gonna be sad. I can't think of anything that is sadder for a so called Christian. Maybe gone to church all their life and just really you know was loyal to that pew, but their never taught anything, learn to worship the false messiah the devil, a Christian worshipping the devil thinking he's the LORD. It's awful. That's an abomination. That's polluting the Sabbath. It's gonna happen. Your gonna see it. It's gonna be very sad. That should give you all the more strength and reason to stand for something and to stand for the true Christ. Isa 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. In other words this new Sabbath I'm bring you is gonna change some things. By the old law a eunuch wasn't blessed. OK? I'm gonna bless em. From now on their gonna feed. The gospel changes things.

Isa 56:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, (That's to say what? Love's the LORD. That keep's the High Sabbath. I don't' care if you are a eunuch an you keep the High Sabbath) and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Get into it. Stand for it. Live for it. And even die for it if that where necessary. Not necessary, but be that strong with it. 5 Isa 56:5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Their not going to have any son's and daughters. Ok? You got it? A eunuch can not have son's and daughters. He said I'm going to do something better than that for them and that's a bunch. I'm going to give them a new name. Can you guess what that is? Christ man. Christian. I'm going to allow them to be a Christian of the Gospel. Now, in the days at the beginning of the church in the new testament. Things got a little busy for the 12. And He appointed 7. Let me see, that seven sounds familiar doesn't it. Seven I wonder what that signifies? I wonder what that could stand for? Seven evangelist that must do God's work to kind of help out and get this over the top. Well, I've heard of 7000 and 7 in biblical numeric's means spiritual completeness, so they named 7. Steven in acts chapter 7 gives the most beautiful message in one or two chapters that covers the entire bible. That gives you the true message of God. They killed. Stoned him to death. Guess who was holding the coats while the dead was done? Paul, Paul, named Saul at that time. He was holding the coats, but their was one left that was after Steven, most popular, Phillip. What does the word Phillip mean when you translate that name? A lover of horse's. He loves horse's and he doesn't like anyone riding those horse's that doesn't belong. Ok? Are you with me? You've heard of the four horsemen? Phillip kind of takes care of four horsemen. Ok? Now, let's go to Phillip. Open your bibles to Acts chapter 8. What possible could that have to do with Ashdod and with Gaza. Let's see, that's in the new testament isn't it? Ha ha ha ha. Acts chapter 8. I'll get there. Ok. First let's learn as Phillip had to learn. When you gather in large groups your gonna have knuckle heads show up. Alright? We're gonna have dreamers that have all kinds of not so nice ideas, about a god who's just in to do certain things and their a special deliverer. You know? Their a bunch of fruit cakes. Ok? You've got to be smart enough to spot them a mile a way. Their not smart enough to gather a crowd on their on so they always show up. Now Phillip, this one that is a lover of horses and does not like bad riders, the four of them. He had this problem, after Steven was murdered Phillip, he was reforming some great things. Let's pick it up with verse 13. He's preaching real good. Ok? And what happens in chapter 8 verse 13. Act 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: ( He converted to Christianity. Can you believe that?) and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Philip didn't do em. The Holy Spirit did. A Simon is looking like, Simon thought he was really something. You got that? I mean he was a special appointed by god, to do something. And here he is following Phillip around because of the miracles happening. He wants to know how to play this game really when your just really honest with it. It's not a game. And it's not something that man does. It's something our Father does. Ok? Now 14. Act 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria (This is where the 10 tribe's mostly hung out. Remember? In the past.) had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Act 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: Hadn't done that yet, but they might. Act 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Act 8:17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. Act 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,

Woooo! Got to have that! I want that bad. Can you imagine that? You got just as bad, you know friends that circulates around today. Ok? Only usually instead of paying money they are trying to collect money. K? But anyway, here he is he show's himself for what he really is. He's a fraud. A fake. He wants to do miracles. There's got to be a trick to it. Not the Holy Spirit. Not of our heavenly Father. 19 Act 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Act 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. And so it did. Do you know what finally happened to Simon? When Christ is crucified it is said, it's called simony. When Christ was crucified and put in the tomb and resurrected in 3 days. Simon said crucify me and put me in that tomb and I'm coming out in 3 days. He still hasn't come out. So that ended Simon, but their still around. Be careful friend when your one of the 7. Ok? Don't be robbed. Don't be down played to. Never apologize for the word of God. It is written and it shall come to pass as it is written. Now, Phillip a lover of horses especially hates those that are bad riders of the four horse's we pick him up again on in this chapter 8. And here begins the prophesy. verse 26. Listen to me carefully. Act 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. It's dry down there. Very dry. Bare in mind Gaza is still in the hands of the Philistines. Verse 27 Act 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, ( This is a line of female queens. Well, all queens are female. Well, come to think about it? Don't want to go there. (Laughing audiance) These are all queens of Ethipoia.) who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, This woman came all the way. From below Gaza all the way from Ethiopia up to Jerusalem to worship. Meaning he wanted to learn about God. Who was it that sent Philip down there? An Angel from God. Not necessarily the angel of God in the ancient manuscripts, doesn't matter it's God's word. Ok? 26 Act 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. That's Isaiah in the Greek. Act 8:29 Then the Spirit (That's the Holy Spirit) said unto Philip, (The horse lover.) Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. I want you to know that God is engineering this all the way. That's important. God, engineering it all the way. Act 8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? Do you understand what your reading? Act 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? (Instruct me in this) And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. Here God has sent Phillip from Jerusalem down thru some bad country on a road that we see is Philistine controlled and winds up with this eunuch. 32 Act 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

He didn't complain, naturally this is Isaiah 53 that we cover sometimes even when we're taking communion. Verse 33. Act 8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. Near the end naturally it's gonna do that. Your 'e going to declare His generation. To God's elect that means the generation of the fig tree. 34. Act 8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Who's he talking about? Of himself or some other man? You see he didn't know that Christ had been crucifed and died on the cross. 35 Act 8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. We covered that this morning, about how He was crucified and how His body received the stripes and we receive the healing. And how He was buried in a rich mans tomb and was crucified between mal factors. Sharing this with this eunuch, of how Christ had paid these prices for us. 36. Act 8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: (You've got to remember that we're in the desert. Now think for me. Ok? Get your thinking caps on. We're in the desert.) and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? What would stop me? I believe. Act 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That's what's necessary. 38 Act 8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, (This is the place of parking the chariots) both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. In the name of Jesus Christ the Savoir. 39 Act 8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. God wanted Philip away from him at this moment, cause you just read of the 1st individual conversion into Christianity in the new testament. You want me to say that again. You just read of the first individual conversion into Christianity. You had a lot of people join the church in one day but it wasn't individual. This is individual. There was a reason for it. And was baptized in certain waters. K? Where did Phillip go? verse 40. Act 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus:(Azotus is Ashdod. Make a note of it. I say again. Azotus is Ashdod.) and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. That's several miles. I mean he preached all the way thru. Wasn't Judah's land. He took it. Turn ahead with me to chapter 21. Hold your place here. Hold your place in chapter 8. Turn ahead to Acts 21 verse 8. Verse 8 of chapter 21 the great book of Acts. This is Paul's travels. Act 21:8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, (This is 25 to 30 years later. K? It's important. 25 to 30 years later. He's still there. And entered into the house of Phillip the evangelist,) which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

How many times does he have to advertise it? One of the seven, 25 years beatin the wood, what a evangelist is supposed to do. But wait there's another line here. Act 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy. Now, what is it that men and women are supposed to do? Of God's elect in the final days as it is written in Acts chapter 2? Both son's and daughters are to prophesy, to dream dreams, some old men dream dreams. They sleep a lot. Ha Ha ha. That's not funny is it old men? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. But, what does 4 represent? Earth. What in the world was this man doing with 4 virgin daughters, this lover of horse's? That means all 4 of them chose preaching rather than getting married and having a family. That's not normal. Ok? That really means there got to be a much deeper message. So it is earth and may be the virgin bride representing that Christ is returning. For what? One man doesn't have four daughters, (thought not finished). How many of you have daughters? No no no no, but this is highly, it's not normal. K? And these girls are not just average preachers they preach. K? Their getting it done. For 25 years from Gaza all the way up to Caesarea, they got it under control. I wanted you to hold your place back in chapter 8. I want you to read that verse 40 again. Act 8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus:(That's Ashdod.) and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea. Did he keep his mouth shut? No. He preached. That's what the 7 are supposed to do, is to pass on the Word. To plant the seed. Now listen to me real closely. He was found at Ashdod. Do you know the only water that there is close to Ashdod? In the valley of Elah. Carriages can come by there. There was another carriage that came by there one time. Do you know who's carriage it was? It was little ole David's. He was going to see his brothers fighting the giants in the battle of Elah. And this giant had all of Israel backed against the fence. There wasn't a fence there, but you know the figure of speech. They got their back to the wall. And this Philistine is boom, boom, he's marching back and forth. We better go and read it. K? The stream of water Elah is only a mile and a half from Ashdod. Now where do you think the eunuch was baptized? Meaning it's desert. Think about it. Mile and a half. And that's where Phillip ended up at. Mile and a half away in Ashdod. Be what? Taking care of business. Preaching. But what this all hinges on is how the battle was won. Then you've go to go back to the battle for out of the mouths of children comes forth the truth of God's word. David was a child a young person a young man. Out of his mouth came victory from Elah at Ashdod, where the giants were, with one particular giant and ole boy named Goliath. OK? But you've got to pay attention. Now listen to me. Summarize. One of the seven an evangelist had 4 virgin daughters, symbolic 4 of earth and the virgin bride, hopefully that Christ is going to find that hasn't preached some other message was holding the line preaching the real truth. Do you understand? And there you have the set up to what's happening in Gaza today. What's going to happen. Watch it very closely. There is a time that's coming out. How will that battle be won? 1st Samuel chapter 17 and pick it up in verse 17. That'll work won't it? Sure. 17:17. Now again I want to remind you Elah. Those of you who want to double check this it's real simple. Ok? You know we carry the little Atlas Bible Maps and you have after all the map, it's a road map to peace taking place there now. Why? Ok? Are you with me? Hello? The road map to peace. Ok? But you can get this little Bible Atlas of biblical locations from our library. On page 12 in the lower left insert you will be able to spot Elah and how close the water comes to Ashdod. K? That'll document what I've been telling you here. Sorry I don't have the graffic's here, but your so smart. A bunch of smart ones. Smart ones what? Anyway, you are and you can pick up on it just like that. Ok? So verse 17 let's go with it. I'm just helping you out. Ok? You've got to put all this together, because it's so beautiful. 17. 1Sa 17:17 And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren; 10 being government. Ok? 1Sa 17:18 And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.

I want to know how my boys are doing out there. How their holding out, if any of them had been bumped off. You know? How the wars going. 19 1Sa 17:19 Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, (That's important. That's the name of the stream in that valley. E. L. A. H. It means oak. Like an oak tree, or it means strong. K?) fighting with the Philistines. They where fighting with who? Fighting with the Philistines. They always owned it at that time. Never was taken from em. 1Sa 17:20 And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, (This trench means parking place of the carriages. Ok? Came there for the eunich and then parked their carriage and went down and baptized.) as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle. They wanted it. Ok? 21 1Sa 17:21 For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army. I gonna tell you something. We've got the same spiritual battle in place today. Do you know why terrorist attacked America? It's religious. Ok? They don't like what we teach. They don't like what we believe. And unfortunately your in a religious war like it or lump it. Do you know something? It's not the 1st time. Not the 1st time at all. 22. 1Sa 17:22 And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren. Visit with them. "How are you doing? How's everything going? "{ PM speaking for David} I tell you it was not going good. Ok? 1Sa 17:23 And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, (That'd be the grape press) Goliath by name, (Means splendor, or splendid) out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them. I mean he was repeating this everyday. You'll find it back in verse 8 of what he was saying. And he stood and he cried I am a Philistine. Send your champion out an I'll take him. And if he defeats me, we'll all be your servants. This guy stood on up there. Ok? I mean he's a whopper. He's big. He's a giant. And the people in Israel's army including David's brothers, they wanted no part of it. No part of it what so ever. David heard it. Verse 24 1Sa 17:24 And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid. 1Sa 17:25 And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel. Now as it would turn out, Saul's giving him his daughter wasn't the greatest gift in the world. Ok? But that was part of the deal. Ok? Verse 26. 1Sa 17:26 And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done (What are you gonna do?) to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? (What are you going to do for him?) for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? Now soak those words in real good. If you ever get fear in your heart. Know what Army your in. Your in the Army of the Living God. What what does that leave us to fear? Nothing!! Absolutely nothing!!! Verse 27.

1Sa 17:27 And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him. 1Sa 17:28 And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, (That little whipper snapper, come out here mouthing off and probably going to get one of us killed here, if they wasn't careful.) and he said, Why camest thou down hither? (What did you come out here for?) and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. Naw, he came down to take part in the battle. Ok? His big brother is just trying to put him down a little bit, but he's jealous. Alright? I mean how would you feel if you where big brother and you had to shake when the giant shook the ground and walked. You know? That'd be kind of a bad spot. 29. 1Sa 17:29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? Woe. What are you angry with me about? 1Sa 17:30 And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner. 1Sa 17:31 And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him. And they told him. And he sent for him. Got some kind of hope going here. The whole camps been at a stand still for days. 1Sa 17:32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. You know why David wasn't afraid of him? Cause he was a Philistine. And he was defying God. And David had stood for God many times before. In the charge that he had, had with his sheep and other things. He always won. 1Sa 17:33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. You know you have a battle coming my friend. A conflict. There's a war between God and satan. Some of you are if not all are going to be delivered up before their champion and your 'e going to have to rely on God as David did to accomplish this. This is why the baptism took place in this place. This is why the Elah, Ashdod, Caesarea, Gaza, you're having a stir now. We're coming up on that time. It's flooding. Flooding in. 1Sa 17:34 And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 1Sa 17:35 And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. I killed em. 1Sa 17:36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. I don't know? Are you going to stand up for God? You see it's out of the mouth of this youth that you can learn something. Wisdom. When your in God's Army your going to win. You've got the victory. It all fits together like a fine tailored glove. God's Word and His support of His children. He love's them. He makes it so easy for us. 1Sa 17:37 David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, (Who delivered him? The LORD delivered him!) he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.

If we got a chance let's take it. Ok? 1Sa 17:38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. This is not the armor you need my friend. What armor do you need? Ephesians 6. The Armor of God of course. The Word, and the Shield Christ. And fighting God's battle's put on His Armor and you'll do just fine. Ok? But Saul said let's deck the kid out where he at least got a fighting chance. 1Sa 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. (Don't ever go to war with some weapon you haven't proved.) And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. Way to go. Ok? He's going to fight with what he knows works. And you need to know this for this battle we are approaching. K? You need to know what weapons it is that finishes it. Listen to me. Phillip, conquered, as an evangelist. From Gaza all the way to Caesarea. Countries that armies couldn't take. 25 years of occupation. And some way or another he was fortunate enough that God blesses him with four virgin daughters that where all preachers. How would you have liked to have went to that house? Preachers in ever corner. I think it's wonderful. I think it's great. K? But naturally we know this was symbolic of the virgin bride of Christ that He expects to take 4 here on earth. And poor ole Philip a lover of horse's hate's those horse men of the apocalypse. And he's got one daughter for each of them. K? To put them in there place. Spiritually speaking. 1Sa 17:40 And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, (That's where the water was. Ok? The old brook, probably where the eunuch was baptized.) and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine. You want to listen to the words of David. You can't go wrong with them. You want to win a battle? You want to be a champion? Then follow David's advice. Verse 41. 1Sa 17:41 And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him. Here they come. Awesome. With a helmet. Standing 13 feet tall. And he's got a beam 18 feet long. Trudging along there and he's even got a man to care his shield. And he looks down there and there's that boy. Five smooth stones. What does 5 mean? What does it stand for? Grace. 42. 1Sa 17:42 And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, (Nahar. Just a young inexperienced man.) H5288 naar nah'-ar and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 1Sa 17:43 And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? ("I'm a warrior!" Splendid they call me.) And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. You got that? By his god's. Not David's God. Not our God. Verse 44. 1Sa 17:44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field. 1Sa 17:45 Then said David to the Philistine, (Listen to these words carefully. There your war song. There your war march.) Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

You've shamed them. 1Sa 17:46 This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth (That what? All the earth) may know that there is a God in Israel. You know there is a Father and you know He's behind you. Listen to David's words well. He didn't have a tank. He didn't have an m-16. He had a sling shot. 1Sa 17:47 And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: (Now listen carefully. not with sword and spear) for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands. He always has given us our enemies, into our hands. Some of you have been fortunate enough to do battle where God's kind of helped us out a bunch. Ok? It's a beautiful thing to see and certainly a warming of the heart to know you've found deliverance when the odds where so insurmountable. It wasn't' possible, but with God all things are possible. And so David stated it. You're not going to win this last battle with sword or spear your going to win it with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit speaking thru you. That's how it's going to be. From Gaza to Ashdod all the way to Caesarea Check it out on the map. Check out on the charts. Never taken by an army, but taken by a preacher and 4 preacher girls. 25 years, lived safely. Safe enough, Paul even managed to sleep a night with them. 1Sa 17:48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 1Sa 17:49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. The deadly wound. He received it. Did it with what? A sling stone. You know? I don't know if yawl know, but that can be a very deadly weapon, especially if it is in the hand of an expert and David was. He took him. This so upset the enemy. But it is the Stone of God upon it written a new name. And I'm quoting Revelation 2:17 a name that no man could know or understand, unless you have the Word of God. That God is with us. It is even a new song and that song protects us, because it's God's truth. The very gospel armor that we put on as we go into this war and it's coming my friend. It's much closer than you might think. As the sands of time began to tick out of the hour glass that's already been overturned. And that day is coming. How will we win the war? With God's Word. That's what it takes. That's all it takes. The most powerful weapon in the world, God's awesome power. He created it He can speak and disannul it. And He always stays with His children. "I will never leave thee. I will never forsake thee." So, why in the new testament do we have this Philip this lover of horses? Go all the way down to Gaza and Ashdod and even the stream of Elah. Mile and a half from Ashdod where he ended up at. Baptizing an Ethiopian, because the gospel changes lives. The old kind of set certain parameters, but the new when you take on the name Christ man and your mind makes that man grow among all peoples. Christ man or Christian when you care that message forward no one can stand in the way of it. Do you know why? I've read the back of the book. WE WIN! Big time! Big time! These prophecy's are written for us to gain from to observe and to live by. To know and to be aware. Watch Gaza. It is still the gateway to Egypt and believe you me there pouring in. They are pouring in. Even armies are trying to stop it as we speak. Interesting, but what's most important? How we win the war. I think it's fantastic. Those 4 beautiful daughters. All of them prophetess. And then we have so called turned around ed collars and what have you that say women should keep their mouths shut. (PM Joking) Well, you know not bad but..... ha ha it isn't going to work though. Have you ever seen it work? I haven't. Ha Ha ha. Boy I'm about to spoil this right here. When I did a pretty good job. Now I think it's wonderful that God use's whom so ever will. You know? Whom so ever will. I don't care if it's male female, child. Poor ole David I mean, here's the whole army. His big brother I mean hay we're talking warriors here we're talking pride. We're talking men of valor. And here come a little ole boy that spent a lot of time out in nature with the sheep and God. And he wins. Ok? So, don't never forget it. Don't never forget. This is why Jesus Himself would say in one place " out of the mouths of babes" comes the truth. He was talking about that babe. And out of that babes mouth came the truth. Don't ever, we will never, you see what your up against you have got certain judges if you want to call them that I got another name, that are trying to remove God's name from our vocabulary,

basically. Do you thing the God of Israel is going to allow that? He better buy him some asbestosis underwear and he better get it at a special and soon, because God is not happy with what's going on, but in God's name and in God's Truth you are going to put His enemies under His footstool. Your gonna stand. Your gonna stand for something. Your gonna stand for everything. Your gonna stand for the Truth and that Truth will always deliver you. Transcript of Dr. Arnold Murray's work.
