<TITLE>05. Par 16-21</TITLE>L-16 We... Only thing we can do is accept and be grateful for what He has already done for us. Oh, that's so simple isn't it. And I'm positive that many times in people's thinking, that they try to make Divine healing and so forth, some great outreaching something, way away, "If I could only reach it."
Could you imagine Jesus saying, "Now, let Me check My faith, and see if I've got enough faith to do this, see if I'll have to fast awhile to see if I'll have enough faith to do this." He was perfectly unconscious of the faith that He had. He just spoke it and knew that it would be so.

L-17 Just like you come from your homes today, you probably want to return to your home, told your wife or your loved ones, "I'll be back sometime right after noon." How do you know you are? You don't try to wonder, "Have I got faith enough to go home? Have I got faith enough to drive my car? You just unconsciously turn your key on, drive on away and go home. See? It's a unconscious faith that does it. That's the way it is: in Christ we just unconsciously just say, "That's His word; that just settles it; there's no more to it." and go on. That's how we get well.

L-18 Now, God swearing by Himself, no greater. We'll hurry up and get down, for our subject today is on Melchisedec, Melchisedec the Great Prince and King. Now, the 14th verse says:
 Saying, Surely blessings I will bless thee, and  multiplying I will multiply thee.
'Cause he was to be multiplied to every nation, and the Gospel through Christ... Now, it could not do it under the dispensation of the law, because it didn't reach out that far, only to the circumcised, and that was the Jew. But in the Holy Spirit realm He has circumcised every heart (See?), all nations. He would multiply Abraham to all nations.
 And so after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
How we've dwelt on that, how Abraham patiently enduring. Enduring as seeing what? The invisible God as though He were visible, standing before him. And after his endurance... After he had endured the hard fight, he inherited the promise.
Now, isn't it strange? Look like God could've just reached down and give him the promise right then and done the work right then. He could've done it.

L-19 Hannah, when she was at the temple, and she was praying, and Eli came out and thought she was drunk, and she said, "I am not drunk, but I am praying that God will take away my reproach."
He said, "The Lord God grant unto thee thy--thy request."
Now, God could've placed little Samuel right in Hannah's arms. All of us knows that. He's a Creator of all things, just speaks it into existence. He could've put it right in Hannah's arms, but instead of doing that, it was the regular procedure of nine months before the little baby come along. He could've done it instantly, but He didn't do it instantly, He just give her the promise, and she inherited the promise.

L-20 When God told Moses when he started out to go into the promised land, "All that promise," He said, "I give Abraham years ago, it's all walled up with Philistines and all kinds of great people over there, warriors of... He said, "Now, it's all yours."
There was the Amorites, the Havites, and the Personites, and all those over there: Havites, Jubenites, Philistines, everything in Palestine. Now, God said, "I have give it to you. It's yours. Now go and possess it."
Oh, I hope you see it, people. It's something that I want to get to you to put your faith where it belong. Many peoples I find they can... they've got faith if they only knowed how to put it to work.

L-21 When Benjamin Franklin first found electricity, he said, "I got it! I got it!" but he didn't know what he had. Along come Thomas Edison and said, "It'll work for us." And he didn't care how long it took. He tried ten thousand wires, but yet he found a wire that would finally carry the electronic--or the electricity into the wire. He knowed it was a power and that power would work in our benefit.
