<TITLE>19. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 Now, up on the mountain there, he took his own son, tied his hands behind him, laid upon the altar, reached down and pulled out the knife, pulled the little fellow's throat back, and raised his hand to stab his own son to death. And about that time, the Holy Ghost caught his hand and said, "Abraham, stay your hand."
Don't be scared to walk right down to the last row of life with Him. God will be there on the scene. He's Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide a sacrifice." He will make a provision.
And about that time, he heard something bleat, and there was a little ram hooked in the wilderness by his horns. Where did that ram come from? They was a hundred miles from civilization. And they was up on top of the mountain where there's no water. How did that ram get there? God is still Jehovah-jireh. No matter what the circumstances is, He can provide the sacrifice at any time. Amen. No matter what the circumstance is He's Jehovah-jireh.

L-63 Now, look, it wasn't a vision. He walked over and picked up the ram, laid it upon there, and stabbed it with a knife, and blood run out of it. It wasn't a vision he saw; it was actually a ram. It was Christ, the Lamb of God, slain from the foundation of the world. Hallelujah. There He was, Christ. It wasn't a vision.
That lamb was spoke into existence in one minute, and went out of existence in another minute, the same way that God made Himself manifested in flesh before Abraham, and went out of existence in another minute.
He's the same God, that someday these atoms of ours will break and go out, life will go out of this body, and He will speak it back into existence someday in the resurrection. He's Jehovah-jireh. How will He do it? I don't know. That's His business, but He said He'd do it, and I believe Him. Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice."

L-64 No matter what it is the lamb was there. He provided a lamb when He needed a lamb. When you're sick and you need healing, He will provide for you. If you need salvation, He provides for you. If you need a revival, He will provide for you. If the meal barrel's empty, He will provide for you. Amen.
If you're all downhearted and drooped over, God will provide for you. "For He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; with His stripes we were healed." Amen. The Lord's provided Sacrifice, the Lord's provided Lamb...

L-65 Here not long ago I was taking a little story on old blind Bartimaeus. It said that he was a blind man for years and years. He... During the time of his married life, while he was blind, he had a little girl born in the home. And the little girl, he'd never seen her in his life.
So one night, he used to... Well, he used to set up at the gate at Jericho and different places. He had two little turtledoves that done little tumbles, like that, back and forth, to entertain the tourists that come by, so they could give him a coin to make his living.
And the poor old fellow, one night his wife got sick; he goes out and he prays. He said, "Jehovah, if You'll only let her live, I promise You tomorrow I'll offer these two turtledoves for You for a sacrifice." And his wife got well, and kept his word and went up and offered the turtledoves.
