Five Smooth Stones (2006) — Keith Daniel

From the New Covenant Christian Fellowship. Here at St. John's, Michigan, we are a non-profit tape ministry and are dedicated to spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. This tape is not copyrighted. Please feel free to make copies for your friends and neighbors.

We only ask that you would not add to, subtract from, or in any other way alter any part of this message. If you would like additional tape messages or more information about the local body here, please call 989 -227 -1237.

Our prayer is that this message would have a lasting impact on your life so as to draw you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 10, verse 17, So faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I've been blessed being here, and honored, and thank you for this joy that God has given me and that somehow He put in your heart. Bless you. I just want to take a moment to mention, my wife sends out a newsletter to many thousands of homes, and I think quite a few of you will forget them, and people pray following our program.

She puts about two months, two to three months of meetings, and many times it's just about every single day. It's month after month. So to pray soberly, people want to know the name of the place, the town, or the city, or the facility we're using, or movement we're involved with at that time on the day.

So if you would like to follow soberly and pray, earnestly just bringing us before God, my family that I leave so often, and also for the place that I'm preaching. I'd be deeply grateful. My wife's poems are put here.

They want to publish all her poems in a book. Well, we're waiting for all that, as God helps. But God has really used these poems wonderfully. Then they put little testimonies of folks who have really deep workings of God in their heart that send e-mails or letters or testify in meetings, and I've just taken these aside and put them in Jenny and others, and just give it them to make sense and good English, and to bring it down.

But many folks are deeply spoken to by God through the newsletter, and I have been reluctant to do this for many years, to put testimonies of people who've met with God in the meetings, but with a lot of pressure from people over me, I've decided, well, let's do it.

So we just put these things aside, and it seems God is honoring it. This is the first level in front of our good brother. A number of copies. If you don't receive this, to be able to pray for these, how many weeks am I here in this town?

Oh, I think it's eight weeks, nine weeks of preaching. It's actually three months with the traveling and being in London, different places we've got to do on our way back. It's about three months from our country that we do every year at this time of your fall.

But this is the program that's left of about 18, 17 towns in 14 states in America over these eight, nine weeks of preaching. So if you'd like to just take a copy, you can contact friends. There are about 50 copies there, I'd say, that were over, that our brother Don Corvell, who coordinates this tour, as people invite, he just puts it all together in love, and does it for God.

So please take a copy if you'd like to pray, and to hold us in your prayers. My wife is in the States with me and my children, two of them anyway. At the moment they're in Wisconsin, in a place called Rhinelander.

And she addresses the ladies. In the afternoon, in the morning she has in Missouri, address the ladies, and down in Loughlin, Colorado, she's going to be addressing the ladies in the day. And my one son, Lord, he's a missionary, he's an evangelist, he prays for God.

He addresses the men and the boys. And then I speak to everyone in the night, in their gathering, and on the Sunday mornings. So I'm going to join them on Monday, down at Rhinelander, where we've been for a number of years.

I heard you had a lady speaking to the ladies today. Well, my wife also speaks to the ladies. So if you want to see why I'm such a happy man, invite her next year. It doubles the cost of flying this year, or whatever it goes to, and your cost of paying for the flights, etc.

But the whole thing is, it would be a joy, and God, don't ever put that in your hearts, if you ever ask me back again. If you don't, ask me back again, and I'll know you didn't want us to come back again.

All right, sorry, let's not get diverted. Don't worry, brother, you and your wife are wonderful. God now bless you, and thank you for letting me just hear about that. If you'd like to receive this newsletter, put your name and address down there on a list that the Crevelles have lovingly typed out very nicely, and you'll receive it, and it'll be an honor for us to send it to people who honestly will pray.

Don't please put your name down, please don't, unless you pray. And as you know, you do look for fuel, for ammunition, in the real warfare that God wants us to be involved in against the powers of darkness, and to pray for people who preach and their families.

I'd be deeply honored if you know you will take that and pray. I'd be deeply grateful, so will my wife and children, and our mission in Africa. So God bless you now, as you pray about that. Can we have a moment of prayer, please?

Can we just bow before the dear Lord, in a moment of prayer, before our God? Father, keep us under the blood of Jesus Christ, from all the powers of darkness and their influences in any way, to keep the minds of those who would seek God and hear God's voice, through this thy word.

We're here for thee, and all of us bow before our God, and ask thee by grace to open our hearts, take away the crush that sometimes, somehow, comes in. We don't even know how. It makes us almost immune to open our hearts to God and sincerity.

The hopelessness comes in so many hearts. Even if they walk through a church door, there's no hope or no thought that they could be changed by God, lifted up to a higher realm. Oh, take away the crush, the hardness of the hearts, and help us to break the hollow ground and to seek the Lord.

It's time to seek the Lord, till he come and reign righteousness upon us. So, in mercy upon all of us, fill us under the blood of the Holy Christ, thy Son, thou Savior, who we live for and would gladly die for.

In mercy and by the Holy Spirit, minister to our hearts through thy word. Do something of eternal value in every heart, by grace, and wash me in the blood in mercy. Should there have been the smallest reaction that was not utterly Christlike, that I overlooked in my patience to confess, the smallest thought, the smallest word, that was not holy and Christlike, forgive me.

I look to the blood, ask thee to cleanse me and fill me now with the Holy Spirit. Anoint me, anxionize me, and in grace, take this place in weak and despised man, and speak in grace through me, and in spite of what I am, my baseness and unworthiness, and at my best, of unproctable sin.

In mercy to all of us, for without thee we can do nothing. We acknowledge it, we've tried, nothing, of any value, spiritually, without God, himself. Come, therefore, and visit us, Lord. In Jesus, the Christ's name, in Jesus, Christ's, and for his sake, we all unitedly agree and ask these things of our Father in heaven.

David, Goliath, and the Five Smooth Stones

17, from verse 32, in 1 Samuel 17, from verse 32, we read of one of the greatest events in history. We read of one of the greatest events in history. Occasion, in Israel, in the valley of Elah, a great, mighty valley, in the heart of Israel.

The Israelites, and their enemies, the Philistines, the scene of many uproar, much hurt happened. It's so wide, so broad, that is why it was where the scenes of the battles took place. The side of the valley, of the people of God, the Israelites, with King Saul, King Saul, as their head.

The other side of this valley, and the hill facing them, across the hill, enemies of the people of God, an instrument of the devil, an instrument of the devil, sent by the devil for one reason, to try and get God's people to take their eyes off from God.

To try and get God's people to take their eyes off from God. He's won the battle, whether collectively as the people of God, or individually, children of God. If he can create circumstances, replacing your circumstances with anything, it will take your eyes off from God.

He's won the battle. The purpose, the purposeless for which it was sent. Every man had their eyes taken off from God. Proving God's faithfulness, and he left to deliver him, not fail him. They're thinking of this happening.

And David said to Saul, David said to Saul, let not man's heart fail because of him, fail because of him. My servant will come and fight with us, Philistine. Said to David, will you go against us, Philistine, to fight with him?

With our other youth, David said unto Saul, and so be it one of them. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with thee. And David put them off him. He took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones.

Chose him five smooth stones out of the book, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in the script. And he drew near unto the Philistine, and drew near unto David before them. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him, for he was but a youth.

Philistine said unto David, and the Philistine said to David, come to me. And there was a beast up with a sword, thee in the name, and I will take thine sons this day out of the air into the wild beasts of the earth in Israel.

Then they shall know that the Lord shall save us not with sword and spear, for the battle is the Lord's. He will give you into our hands. And the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David.

But David hasted, were running toward the army, to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took the Philistine's stone, and slang it. And the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone struck into his forehead, placed to the earth, upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and threw it out of the seat of the Lord, and swore to him, that his head therewith, which is the word of God, I do against you, through the faith wherewith ye shall be able.

Faith Must Be Joined to Action

The stone, these stones he could use effectively, the flames of God's word, that will he take him from the flames, which is the sword of the Spirit, God says. Anything God is going to do, what Satan comes and does against you, must be taken by faith from the promises of God.

So to carefully select, places before us giants, things to take our eyes off God, to fill our hearts with fear, and hopelessness and circumstances he will create. We must carefully select, as we face the giants, our enemy, the devil will place before us, till the day we die.

From the streams of God's word, the sword, and the faith, in the God who promised, we have to carefully select, the promises of God, promises no matter what we face in life, concerning his deliverance, concerning his heart, that will fill us with faith, in sermon upon sermon, and sermon upon sermon, till you die.

Taking hold of the promises of God, looking to the God who gave these promises, no matter what we face in life, when fearful circumstances are created, to look to the promises, to look to the God who gave, I'm not going to preach that, putting your faith in these promises, is no good sir.

Every single promise in this book, concerning God honoring your faith, in prayer, concerning God answering prayer, written across every promise in this book, concerning God answering your prayers, are conditions, conditions.

Now sir, you have a holy obligation of honoring your faith, when you come to this, but you cannot deny the conditions, God places in this book, on every promise. Listen, 1 John 3, verse 20, for if you condemn us, God is greater than our hearts.

Beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, if our hearts condemn us not, then, what instill would God, believe of him, because, we keep his commandments, those things that are pleasing in his sight, his conditions.

Have you ever prayed like that? Will you ever pray like that? But God requires, when you get to grips with God sir, the only warfare God wants us to be involved in, the effect of a righteous man, of a reproach, accomplishes staggering things.

The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, his ears are open unto their prayers, but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. Even if you say you've saved, the face of the Lord is against them, that do evil.

I will, that men therefore will pray everywhere, left and right. Only do you fulfill the conditions when you come before God. You will come before God without wrath or doubting, unless you have holy hands.

The confidence, of a heart that doesn't condemn you, but does, able to take hold of liberty, because the conditions are fulfilled. The way of the sea, James says, driven with a dwindling toss. Let not that man think that he will receive anything of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Listen, you can't come to God, in confidence, unless you have a life that corresponds, that has fulfilled, the conditions of the other parts, in their context.

If you don't find the conditions written in the very verse, just look at the verse before, or the few verses of the passage, you'll just see there's radical, staggering conditions. God waits for you. He is not held, in any holy obligation, until you fulfill that, which he requires of you for him.

Do not be able to deny what he's promised. You must not deny what he demands, when you come with the promises. The stones are set up, fit into the air, you know, so he has to do his part. The effectiveness, that it works.

Proving God's Promises Through Obedience

God didn't put this great giant, in circumstance, in the whole world, with what he could then, and look back now, step by step, this boy, this circumstance, and we prove, step by step, in circumstances, that God will allow, such things to face us, that will stay.

He didn't just throw you there. We have to prove these promises. We have to do our part. We have to live, and what God requires of us. We have to do our part. He has to do his part. Prove these things work.

I want to look at John, and say, look, God promises you, do it, just believe. No! You do your part. God honors you. But until then, in faith in the promises, or the God who gave the promises, conscience is always before God, when you read this book.

Look at Psalm number 1. A turning point came in my Christian life, when I was a Christian. Looked at these words, honestly, my whole Christian life, upside down. One promise. The desires of thy heart.

This is going to stagger a lot of people, but I've learned something. Be honest, Keith, or get out of the pulpit. I applied my life diligently, honestly, with integrity, to what God was saying, to make it a discipline of life, a great discipline, daily, in circumstance upon circumstance, to do what God was saying here.

At least 80 of every prayer I ever cried, earnestly and fervently to God, at least 80 of every prayer I uttered, was never answered by God. But since I applied my life, in honesty before God, to what He required, seeking from my conscience and heart what God was expecting of me, in the light of all scriptures, concerning what He was saying here, at least 80 of every single prayer I uttered was answered by God immediately, and mostly above that I was asking or believing.

Many times for long stretches, 100 every prayer, God just answered fully, above what I was asking or believing, no matter what I was asking for. Even so, from the time that I started offering the sacrifice of praise, the circumstances were created by Satan.

You'd think it's a curse to be saved. Pick worshippers. God said of His people the thing that really grieved Him the most in the Old Testament, carefully, the grief of God, the wrath, the anger of God came upon His people, because no matter what He did to them, it was not for them to start murmuring, and He says, because He served the Lord thy God with a heavy heart, go and do some wickedness, some filthy, deplorable sin, that I hope my children and wife never find out about me, or my father and mother never find out.

No! God looks and you know what grieves Him? To the staggering degree of what He did then against His people, it was such grief, it was such sin in God's eyes,.

Because He served the Lord with a heavy heart.

Lady, your child gives you when you're dead, if they look back and they're honest, is what you really were, if they're honest about what they're saying. Is that what they will remember? In South Africa, a good boy, shocked me, he said to me that his sister was a Christian.

All the world was made on the Christian. Desperate, because all the times, oh, the terrible horror of being a Christian, the suffering, the conflict, the way they're forced, the suffering they're going through, all the problems that come, everything goes wrong.

He looked at her in exasperation one day and he said, all right then, go and serve the people. People? I never said hi to His people. I never said hi to His people. Everything's wrong. I don't suggest you do that, by the way.

Remembering, sometimes you've got to be a bit radical. A perfect worshipper of God, do you offer the sacrifice that anyone could praise, even an unsaved person can praise God when everything goes right.

But in the school of God, and God hasn't got much time, He has to put us through crash courses because there's very little. That's why we've got to redeem this time. We're not doing anything. In the school of God, coming time.

In this world, you should have tribulation. God didn't promise anything else. Heaven, there won't come things against you. Here, tribulation is total onslaught from Satan and demons. God says, through any evil person you can get on, to hurt, undermine you, offend you.

A person can praise God if everything goes right, but when things go wrong, do they pray? You're a child of God. It's easy to praise, but when you have to offer the sacrifice of praise, when it's not easy to...

You don't praise God for everything, in everything you thank, but not for everything. Not for everything. That's obnoxious. You don't cease to praise Him when things turn against you, when things aren't perfect.

Here, when you offer the sacrifice of praise, when it's... You refuse to allow negativeness and moaning and murmuring to flood your heart, and you come and you sacrifice to God. Whosoever brings shame on God in your home, beginning in your home, in your church, who is perfectly negative, self-destructive, and undermining God's faithfulness by your whole attitude, it must be that people wouldn't want Christ.

This is a terrible thing living with you to be a... These words, Philippians 4, verse 6, careful...

Anything that comes against you in this life, be careful for nothing, but in everything, no matter what comes in your circumstances, in everything, and prayer, and supplication,.

Patience with God that passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and souls and minds through Christ Jesus. You don't know God's peace, sir, until you praise. It's only a man or a woman or a child who's learned to offer the sacrifice of praise.

No matter what comes, to still come to God with all the things we can praise for, rather than become a murderer about the one thing.

Satan places there, and we forget to say thank you to God for all the great things He's done. It could take us 24 hours in sincerity of honestly finding time to thank God for every kindness He showed us, that millions would pull on grass to have half of what you've got, tenth of what you've got, hundreds of thousands of the things you have,.

And you can't do this right now. Pain, do you know why? No sickness, but just no food. Have you ever been in pain with no food, sir? To watch your child whimpering and crying, not because he's got a disease, but because there's nowhere to give him food.

Goodness, a home, a roof over their heads where there's millions who've never had a roof over their heads and will die never having lived in a home. Not a helicopter. In one square over a million on a bed.

Never had a roof. They sleep with cardboard on the floor, on the ground. Have never once in their life had a new pair of shoes, a new shirt, a suit, nipples, salvation. It doesn't take much at all, sir.

That's their world for all time. You and your murmuring and still daring to ask Him without fulfilling the hopes for and longs for in your life. He didn't just choose one stone. Like this, you know. Surely he better have more.

Not so. Things, you know, as he preaches all over our land, people just flock to hear him, especially preachers of all denominations. They want to hear a man who's never been to any theological seminar and just learned in the school of God.

But he can just draw, God just draws the throngs of preachers to hear this man of God who's learned the school of God and the practical operating of hardships of life. The Lord said to me that he heard a sermon once of a boy, a young Christian, just in case those brothers rose up, you know, in avenging their brother Goliath.

He had one for each of them. You know, you never argue with, by the way. You're finished. So you don't do. You just smile and say, well, that's a good thought. And let's face it, it is. I suppose we could rightfully say, well, he was human.

It's possible that in the circumstances or just in case he kept a bit to make sure he could just in case something happened. That's just human. It's not sin. I would say, in our circumstances, here tonight, with this sermon, that we're looking in the light of all scriptures as to how to apply everything, and there was nothing written, nothing in this book was written for history.

Everything was to get the heart of God to get in the light of the rest of the scriptures. Every statement David made, he'll be stunned. Everything cries out a message to give us the throbbing heart of God, the pulse of Christ, the hand of God for you and me to be able to live with him.

Nothing was history like the word of God. So, to you and I, I've stoned with this sermon. I believe because it's possible that the first conditions attached to that particular promise are not all the conditions God's waiting for.

There's other things he wants you to get earnest about, about inconsistencies in your life, things that you know grieve him, but you've never got those promises and the conditions attached to those promises concerning God answering prayer.

Prayer, Fasting, and the Conditions of Faith

So, here comes my second stone. What I'm talking about, my second point, any promise in the entire Bible more staggering than this concerning God answering prayer to this degree that he promised. And I've been through this book many, many times, diligently seeking the heart of God.

Every page I read, I read with that motive. Staggering promise that God ever gave Christians in this. Impossible to you. Now, think who's saying this, not me. This is what God Almighty said. Nothing shall be impossible to you.

Goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Of course, we know the circumstances of demonically possessed people who the disciples couldn't deliver this man from demon possession. So, they look to God now a bit staggered.

And he says, nothing shall be impossible to you. But this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. But apart from the fact that this was a demonically possessed person, what God in essence was saying is literally nothing shall be impossible to you.

Look at that now. Not just when you come to demon possession, because this is what God was saying in its context. Nothing, nothing, nothing shall be impossible to you. Of course, you don't come to God with things that are not His will when you're right with God.

You have the mind of Christ. The more you devour the Scriptures, the more you're ready of walking with God. You won't ask for things that are not God's will. But nothing shall be impossible to you, child.

Nothing! Albeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Have you ever fasted? When God doesn't answer your prayer. There's times we have to. Honestly, I stopped life and stopped eating. I don't suggest you all do that.

My wife is a lady who I nearly lost twice through her help. Pray things through. And when I have to fast when circumstances in our nation and other nations look to me, it can be the end of all denominations.

Misery societies, such crises, and people somewhere look to me or families where there's crises that could bring such grief that it would be in the front lines of the papers and if God intervenes with the terrible things that are going on.

Sometimes I've got to fast. I know. I'm responsible. God just puts it in my hand. The privilege He gives me to know so many people. I forbid my wife to fast. I said no. I don't know how condemned you feel about that now, Jim.

God doesn't expect it of you. We've nearly lost you. You leave the fasting to me. You just pray. You've got to be careful. I know many missionaries in Africa who lost their health through fasting. They became a burden to the missionary society that sent them and that tries to maintain them financially.

It is a burden. God is pure, but you've got to use your common sense, sir. Being a fire for God doesn't mean you haven't got to have two feet on the ground. The only safe person that plays with God is the most sober-minded Christian walking solidly with his feet on the ground and his heart soaked in the word of God to know that he has the mind of Christ.

A man that's sober has common sense. God gave it to him. If you have a weak constitution, ladies, don't you go fasting. Fasting doesn't necessarily mean struggle. When Daniel fasted for three weeks, he ate.

He ate, but there was war in heaven because he didn't eat anything other than necessities. He didn't go to anything that they would call a luxury or a pleasantry. The UNI Cakes, etc., like a David, really, set himself aside to fast, but he did eat.

But in God's eyes, it was enough to make war break out in heaven. This man was all he was crying for. Fasting is not eating a meal, perhaps. It doesn't mean total abstinence from food for ten days, which I've often done, until God comes.

You're not using your common sense if you're too weak. Leave it up to those who can face such things that God waits for. I'm going to shock you again. Fasting, many times, has nothing to do with food in this book.

Many times, you answered until you learned to fast, but it's not necessarily just food, where God has done staggering things since I've done this. Things I've never, ever mentioned one thing in the perfect or publicly, what God, because most people would not accept that God would answer prayers to that degree, so I'm waiting until I'm dead before they can publish books.

I think they'll kill me before my time. God will stagger and wonderfully answer things. People, most people say, well, God wouldn't answer a man who prays such things to that degree. But he does. But here now, you've got to really get to grips, God says.

There's no other quiet. It isn't just food. I want you to faster, faster, blighter, stop all this inconsistency. The things you know will grieve God. The things you know are inconsistent to this book and your conscience.

You know. Keep God from making you walk with God concerning answering prayers. Look earnestly to God for grace to stop all the inconsistencies, young man, because what you're is the smallest music that's on the world.

Well, friends, you need to lose. Oh, lose your friends for God's sake, but don't lose in this short moment called life the possibility you had of walking with God. Forget about walking with men if you can walk with God.

Don't forfeit walking with God. Has anybody ever said that about you yet? Oh, I saw him walking with such and such as his friend. Has anybody, will anybody ever look at you and say, oh, that boy walks with God's righteousness.

Many of us are far from sin and to us there are small sins and big sins. To God the smallest lie throws a man to hell, not just when he goes and commits murder or adultery or profanity. In God's eyes, sin is sin.

There is no big sins. And so, my third point is to keep some of you in check that you know I'm still homiletically in control and not just aiming at everything and going to hit nothing. Attached to the promises that God promises He will also pray to.

Marriage, Conduct, and Unhindered Prayer

Listen carefully here because this is staggering. 1 Peter chapter 3. Likewise he wives meek and quiet spirit which in the sight of God of grace Christ and after this man in the old time the holy woman also who trusted in God adorned themselves being in subjection under their own husbands even as Sarah obeyed Abraham not as he are as long as he do well.

Oh God they want to see an unhappy man show me a man whose wife is the stronger vessel. Don't get bitter against them if they haven't got the strength you or the abilities that they need you so much for survival.

Oh thank God for that because the day a man knows he's not needed his wife has got more ability than he's a man that needs you. Oh thank God don't get bitter against her. She's not bitter against your wife when she's not the weaker vessel.

That she is. She is stronger than the weaker so that you can be a man if you don't know that you're in trouble or she's not allowing you to be. Husbands bear with them don't get bitter don't leave them if they're not perfect if in their weakness they don't do everything.

You've got to help them to survive. You've really got to. In every aspect of life. Bear with them. This is what the context and the extroverses say. Don't leave them. Bear with them and make comfort to them.

Bear with them according to knowledge using your common sense literally left down to the earth using the common sense God gave you written by the Holy Ghost. You have a hundred thousand million times headlong stop on the unsaved man trying to work at marriage to keep something of happiness in that home.

And no room written by the Holy Ghost to tell you how to keep the testimony. You don't have to win the arguments. You don't have to even react. You can defuse the time bombs. You can be still. You don't have to.

You can be Christ like flesh. And the testimony by your strength in not having to always have the last word.

Sir use your common sense unto the wife giving care unto the wife giving care now unto the wife and unto the weak. Will your children remember that how weak she was and how much she needed him how much she had to look to him to survive.

You didn't scowl down at her and hate her and become bitter against her because she couldn't cope with everything she had to do. You all giving honor unto the wife and unto the weak of their soul and as being heirs together of the grace of life.

That your prayers be not hindered. That your prayers be not hindered you know what the word means in the greek. That your prayers are not cancelled out. Not only god can get now. That your prayers be not hindered.

How can you pray for your children sir. When you're the reason they're going to hell. When you're the reason they won't come to christ. When you are so ungodly when you are so inconsistent inconsistent to what god requires to be able to honor you.

How can you be the one now. To pray and expect god to answer those prayers. You get right with god. Do you sir obey god honoring her loving her cherishing her giving yourself to her that everyone knows you would die for her good and survival and dignity.

She's not as strong as you. But to honor her in spite of it and never become bitter against her. Because god wants it that way. Do you. Because then your prayers will be answered sir for your children until then pray for their salvation.

But you're the reason they're going to go to hell. How can god answer your prayers when my heartstone openeth not his mouth. It was said of jesus. He was oppressed. He was afflicted. He was afflicted staggering.

Yet he openeth not his mouth. Do you. You honestly think this was written about jesus for us to have interest to know what he did when men came against him unjustly wanting his death undermining him.

I'll obey thee. Peace flooded my heart. I took the letter put it in the death box the wastebin and i said bless him father. Anyway i didn't start a war. I didn't get on the internet and say alright we declare war.

I'll give you what you gave until the whole world knows war's going on. You know what means we've got. If we really want to start a war we can get the whole world involved. Then. You see blood beyond your imagination when you get others involved.

I kept quiet. I committed it to god. I prayed and i kept quiet. I obeyed him. I'll tell you something. I've done that in 99 of the circumstances where men tried to destroy me again and again and every occasion.

Do you think being a preacher means no one touches you. Oh wait. Just try. You won't believe the powers of hell that rise against you in america. Do you think i just come here and get lovely godly people all encouraging me and say oh brother.

Oh i do. Thank god for those that do. But don't doubt it. I mean the devil would be.

Asleep or dead and he's certainly not if that happened. Started worrying when nothing went wrong. For two weeks he wasn't looking up. When things didn't go wrong some old vain person started cursing him and blaspheming.

There's that crazy fanatic where he looks at this man takes his top hat up and throws it and he jumps and he hollers the door stops that must have shocked the old devil. You know when things go wrong.
