<TITLE>09. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 Why, could you think of an old man today seventy-five years old, with a wife sixty-five and lived with her since she was seventeen, and no children, perfectly barren, and him sterile too, and then go out and say they're going to have a baby, and getting the baby clothes ready.
Why? No matter what it looked like in the natural, God said so. Now, excuse this, you young women and young men. I'm your brother. And notice, at the end of the first month, or the first few days, I... Maybe, hear Abraham say, "Sarah, how do you feel?"
"No different."
"Well, praise God, we're going to have it anyhow."
First month passed. "What about it, Sarah?"
"No different."
"Praise God, we're going to have it anyhow."
First year passed. "What about it, Sarah?"
"No different."
"Well, praise God, we're going to have it anyhow."

L-26 And instead of getting weak like you do, and like I do... If God don't answer right in a minute, "Well, I failed to get it." But Abraham got stronger all the time, knowing that longer it lasted, before the baby was born, greater miracle it was going to be.
And if you are the children of Abraham, you got the same kind of faith. Hallelujah. Don't get scared at that. "Hallelujah" means "praise our God."
Notice. Abraham got stronger as the days went on; he got stronger, believing, him and Sarah. Now, if God called Abraham, and Abraham had that kind of faith because God called him, Abraham's children has the same kind of faith. Now, the only reason that Abraham had that faith is because God seen the quality in him, and called him, and talked to him face to face. And every person that's elected by God, comes in and gets the faith of Abraham when they have a talk face to face with God.
Now, what is Abraham's seed? Let's find out just a minute. Now, Abraham's seed was Isaac. Isaac, through Isaac come Christ. We be... The Bible said, "We, being dead in Christ take on Abraham's seed and are heirs according to the promise." The same promise He give Abraham is the promise that He gives us. If we be dead in Christ, we take on Abraham's seed, and are heirs according to the same promise. And then, the same faith that was in Abraham dwells in his children, who call those things which are not as though they were, because God said so.
Brother, if I could just see you get that kind of a faith tonight, there wouldn't be a feeble person among us in the next five minutes.

L-27 Abraham called those things which were not as though they were, because God said so. "How do you know, Abraham?"
"God said so."
"How can you prove it?"
"God said so."
"Why, it's against all nature."
"But God said so."
The doctor says, "You can't get well."
"But God said so." See?
Say, "You'll never walk again."
"But God said so." Amen.

L-28 Mayo's told me I had three minutes to live, but God said I was going to live a long time. Here I am. I was practically blind, said my sight never would come to me again. But here I am. God said so.
