<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 And Simeon perhaps said, "Now, if my father, Abraham, believed God, because God give him the promise, God promised me too, and I believe it."
What do you think a doctor would say today if an old man went a hundred years old and his wife ninety, went down to the doctor's office and said, "Doctor, I want you to make arrangements at the hospital, for my wife's going to have a baby."
Why, you know what they'd do to that man? They'd say he was crazy. That's the same thing they say that anybody who takes God at His Word; they say they're crazy when they're led by the Spirit. But sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. And the Spirit of God will always bear witness of the Word being the truth. No matter what people say, the Word's right. You see it? Oh, I love the Word. Faith has to anchor on the Word, what God says.

L-15 Now, if you'll notice, like I was talking to you last night, Jesus didn't claim to be a healer. Jesus only saw visions. He said, "I can't do nothing till the Father shows Me what to do." Saint John 5:19.
Said, "I..." When Philip come to Him and he got saved, he went over and found Nathanael way under a tree praying, several miles away, brought him back, Jesus stood and looked at him and said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile," standing out in the audience. Knowed what was wrong with him, all about him.
He said, "How'd You know me, Rabbi?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you."
That was Jesus. And those things that He did, He said, "shall you do also. I'm going away, but a little while I will come back and be with you, even in you to the end of the world. You'll see Me, and these signs and wonders to the end of the world." Amen. Don't be excited. "Amen" means "so be it." All right. You won't excite me by saying, "Amen." It kindly hisses me a little bit.

L-16 I know I'm talking to a many opossum hunter. I had an old dog once, and about take anything come along when you'd tree it but a skunk. And I'd get a skunk under the brush pile, and the dog wouldn't go get it. The only thing I'd have to do was raise up the brush pile and pat him a little bit and say, "Sick him." He'd go get him. The worst skunk I know is the devil. A little, "amen," once in a while, and, "sick him..." That's right.
All right, led by the Spirit of God. Be expecting it. Simeon was expecting God to keep His Word. Abraham was expecting God to keep His Word. David was expecting God to keep His Word when he met the giant. Samson was expecting God to keep His Word when he laid his arms around the pole. Samson was expecting God to keep His Word when he picked up a jaw bone of a mule and beat down a thousand Philistines. The Hebrew children was expecting God to keep His Word when they walked into the fiery furnace. Daniel was expecting God to keep His Word when he went in among the lions. The woman that touched the hem of His garment was expecting God to keep His Word. Martha was expecting God to keep His Word when He said, "I am the Resurrection and Life."
