<TITLE>11. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 It didn't make any difference how long, whether it was five minutes, or whether it's fifty years. Now, after he got older, Abraham got stronger all the time. He said, "Lord, You could've give the baby twenty-five years ago, but now, I'm a hundred. How much more a greater miracle is it, that You do it now, than You would just a few years ago." God, just letting him get old to prove, show him, what He was going to do. Oh, I just love that, how He did it.
And if you notice what He did... I believe the last time I was here, I taught on that, what He did to Sarah and Abraham, how He turned them back and made a young man and young woman out of them again. Do you believe that tonight? Sure, He did. God don't just patch up anything. He does a real job about of it. Yes, sir.

L-42 Sarah could not have had the baby like that, so instead of just making her womb fertile, and--and strengthen the milk veins, and so forth, like that, giving her heart a little stimulation, so she could have the child, He just breathed upon her, and all the wrinkles left; the gray hair turned black again, and her youth renewed, and her eyes brightened up, and she was the prettiest woman in all the country. Amen. That's what He did.
And Abraham, stooped over on his cane, his big long beard, straightened up; the humps went out of his shoulders; the beard turned black again; his eyes begin to shine; he became a man, about twenty-five years old. Took his wife, and got on a camel, and took off for a three hundred mile journey. Oh, my. What about it? That's the Word of the Lord. That's right. And He said to Abraham, He'd show what He would do to all of his seed. Wait till we get our glorified bodies. I tell you, it's going to be marvelous, isn't it? No sickness, no old age, what a beautiful thing.

L-43 See, God, when you was born, He started painting a picture. You started getting older. And when you get up about twenty-five years old, the picture's completed. He said, "All right, death, come on now." First thing you know, you wake up on a morning, and notice, you say, "Mother, you got wrinkles on your..."
"Yes, dad, and the gray hair coming too." What is it? Death set in. Just keeps crowding you down. After while, it'll finally take you. But in the resurrection, every thing that death done will be taken away. The picture will... Then you'll come back in a resurrection, to perfection. Amen. And a atom, that creates a blood cell, will make a perfect one (Amen.) without sin, can't be destroyed, never get old. Oh, what a... Isn't it...
"How do you get it," you say? "What--what are--what are you selling, preacher?" I'm selling insurance. Don't you want a policy? Here's the only one way you can come, on the basis of the shed Blood of Christ. If God knocks at your heart door, God's calling you. And the very minute... Here it is. The very minute you believe it, and receive it, you have Immortal Life. God said so.

L-44 Look. Romans 8:20 said, "Those who He has predestinated into the covenant... (You couldn't come without it yourself. 'No man can come to Me except My Father draws him.') Those who were predestinated, He has called: those who He has called, He has justified: and those who He justified, He has glorified." Then in God's Presence you're already glorified, waiting. Isn't that marvelous? And now, while we're waiting for our redeemed body, we are setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit moving upon the believer, great powerful baptisms going forward, the world on the outside, laughing, God working with them, healing the sick, showing visions, all kinds of signs and wonders, the evening sun going down. The Christian's looking up. There he gets his...?... The atomic bomb's hanging in, over there, the world all shaking and don't know what to do, and the Christians shouting the praises of God: "Come, Lord Jesus." My, Isn't that marvelous?
