<TITLE>08. Par 22-24</TITLE>L-22 Old father looked over to the mother and said, "Oh, mother isn't it wonderful?" The boy is just as gone as he ever was. And he said, "Oh, I'm so happy."
And the little nurse standing there, weeping, she turned around and she said, "Sir, I don't understand." Said, "Do you know your boy is a dying?"
He said, "No, ma'am, I don't."
She said, "Well, now you see..."
He said; he said, "My boy's not dying, my boy's going to live." Said, "God promised it." And he said...
"Why, look, it's good to have faith," she said, "sir." But said, "I tell you," she said, some kind of a cardiogram, or ever what they was doing, some kind of a machine they'd put on his heart. And said, "When it ever goes down like that, it's never been known in all medical history for it to ever come back again. Said, "The boy can't live over about three to four hours."

L-23 And that old man, I never will forget. He put his hand upon the shoulder of that little young lady, probably in her late teens; he said, "Sister, dear," he said, "you're looking to that machine. That's all you got to look to, but I'm looking at a Divine promise." Amen.
The next morning the boy took his breakfast. And he's married and got a child now. See? The woman, all she knew was to do just what that machine said. But this old man looked; faith pierced beyond that. And he saw God Who was able to do the exceedingly abundantly, the God Who had promised never to fail us or to leave us or forsake us. He... Depends on what you're looking at. The Christian looks at things they don't see, because they walk by faith. Is that right? We believe it because the Bible has said so. They believe it. That's how we believe, is because God said so. Faith tested, tried, it proves out a hundred percent. God's under obligation to answer that faith.

L-24 Look what it did that mother standing there, as she put her baby into the same death that every other baby had went into. And a little basket about so big, with the baby laying in it, probably about a three months old baby, laying in a little basket about so long, nothing but a bunch of rushes, like willows, laced together with some pitch and slime messed in it, and pushed it out into the flags where the crocodiles and everything else was? By... Why, it would've meant death. Well, sure. It was right in the same river of death. But by faith, an atonement was made for it, by faith, not by an act of a natural laws, but by faith. Natural laws would've just proved the alligator smelt the baby, and that was it. See? Or out there the first little wave would've tipped it over, that would've settled it. But faith looked beyond that.
She knew that the hand of God was on that baby. Therefore, she wasn't afraid of what the king said. And look what faith done. Faith took him out of the river of death, in resurrection took him over to Pharaoh's palace, and raised him, and educated him right in the palace of the devil's instrument. If that wasn't one time God pulled the wool over Satan's eyes... Pharaoh was the devil's instrument who was killing the children. And the very children he was going to kill, God sent His instrument back and made him raise him. Hallelujah.
