<TITLE>13. Par 116-124</TITLE>L-116 Abraham's seed, said, "Number them." You couldn't do it. "So shall thy seed be." And listen. Here is what did it.
And he believed in the LORD;... (oh,)... and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
He never said, "Now, Lord, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll do a certain-certain thing. And I'll do this, or that." He--he just believed the Lord, and it was counted to him for righteous, because God said so. He'd swore by it, that He'd do it.
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of Chaldea, to give thee this land to inherit it.
And he said, Lord GOD, wherein shall I know that I will--shall inherit it.
"Now, I ain't got no children now. But can You give me some sort of a sign?"

L-119 You know, I'm not a sign seeker, but I believe in signs. That's right. See? If there is no invisible sign given to man today... Why, no wonder people can't believe. They go around, and people just took all the supernatural out of the Bible, and they just taken out... A--a man come up and say, "I'm saved." Sure. Well, you can't--you can't doubt him. That's right. You can't doubt him. The man come up the street, just as drunk as he can be, and--and a cigar in his mouth, and staggering, hollering "whoopee," and cussing every breath, he'd say, "I'm saved, 'cause I believe." You couldn't... What you going to say about it? There ain't nothing you could do. "My church takes me in. I'm a member." What are you going to do about it? There's nothing you can do. That's right. That's exactly right.
But the only way that you can tell is by the sign. Is that right? That's exactly right. You have to see the sign to show it. Now, if it's just of faith alone, then faith don't do it.

L-122 Abraham believed God, that's right, and it was imputed to him for righteousness. But God give him a sign, circumcised him as a sign, a seal. And Abraham's seed still receives circumcision. They did all through the age, until the--the moon faded out, the law, and the Son came in. And when the Son of God come, He circumcised them yet.
And every son of Abraham is circumcised today, not of the flesh, but of the heart. The Holy Spirit circumcises the heart, cuts away the things of the world, and makes you a new creature in Christ Jesus. "Circumcision" is "cut off surplus flesh." Only the males could be circumcised. Only the males was the only ones was in the covenant. And a woman, being married, was brought in. You take... Today, it's... Now, I ain't saying...

L-124 There's a lot of women here, and the women is a marvelous tho--thing. If God could've give a man anything better than a woman, He'd have done so. But He give a woman...
But this is a woman's world. She's running the whole thing, not you house mothers here; but I mean out in the world. Let so--let some little striptease out in Hollywood start to cut her hair some way, and watch all the girls cut their hair the same way. Or they start some fad in dress, and watch all the girls do the same thing: Christians and all, so-called. That's right. It's a woman's world.
