<TITLE>05. Par 19-24</TITLE>L-19 See, His supernatural He was showing to Abraham; He is also showing to you. When Abraham started to offer up little Isaac, he didn't worry one bit. He knew that God was able. And He had promised through Isaac He would bless the world.
He got the wood together and laid it on Isaac's back. Did you notice? There goes the father up the hill, Isaac behind him, his son packing the wood that he was going to lay on to be crucified. What a beautiful type of the Father leaving His--leading His Son, Jesus, with the same cross that He was to be nailed on, up Golgotha: a beautiful picture.

L-20 And when they got up on the mountain, he built the altar and made the--the--the fire. And little Isaac, he looked to his father; he said, "Father?"
He said, "Here am I my son?"
He said, "Here is the altar, and here is the fire, and here is the wood; but where is the sacrifice?"
Then the crucial moment come. With no wave in his voice he said, "My son, God will provide a sacrifice." Amen. So He's called Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide Himself a sacrifice." All the types was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. He is God's provided Sacrifice.
Now, look. Abraham pulled the big knife out, after tying his sons hands and throwing his head back, and was fixing to cut his sons throat. And when he drew--drew up his hand, Something screamed; the Holy Spirit caught his hand, said, "Abraham, hold your hand. I see that you love Me."

L-21 And what happened then? Abraham turned around, and there was a ram. It was a male sheep. It was hooked in the wilderness by its horns. And when it begin bleating, where did that ram come from? Now, I want to ask you something. Where did it come from? Abraham was a hundred and fifty kilometers back from all of his civilization, from all sheep, and all that there was of animal.

L-22 And listen. He was on top of the mountain where there is no water. How did that ram get there? Where did it come from? A hundred and fifty kilometers away from civilization up on top of a mountain where there's no water, and there was a ram. Oh, God will provide Himself a sacrifice.

L-23 It wasn't a vision. He never saw a vision of the ram. For Abraham picked the ram up and laid it on a altar, and killed it, and blood run out of it. It wasn't a vision. What was it? It was Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. It--it wasn't a vision. Listen.
God spoke the ram into existence in one minute and took it out in the next minute. Why? He will provide a sacrifice. He will provide a way for your healing. He will provide a way for your blind eyes. He will provide a way for that cancer to leave you, that stomach trouble to leave you.

L-24 And my brother, He has provided already in Jesus Christ, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, has been provided for your sickness tonight. He has wrote it out in a Book. He has sent the Holy Spirit. He's put gifts in the Church. Now, it isn't God's fault; it will be our own unbelief. Isn't that true? If we don't receive it, it isn't God's fault. Do you believe that with all your heart, that Jesus Christ has been provided as the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world for--for your salvation and healing. Do you believe that? Raise your hand.
