<TITLE>17. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Did you ever see a ship with a drag net, sea, the sea net, rather? It'll go through the waves. Sometimes we're under the waves; you can't see around you nowhere. But just let your anchor hold there. It'll keep you. And as the anchor begin to hold in the sickness and things, God then brings it all out all right. The skies finally clear up. Everything gets all right. It's holding within the veil.
He said, "Now, I'm going to give you a trial, Abraham." He said, "I want you to take this sixteen year old lad of yours; I want you to take him out here, and I want you to kill him now."
"How am I going to be a father of nations? How from this boy is going to spring Christ? And how's it going to be if I kill him?" Well now, he thinks, "If God made the promise, it's up to God to take care of the rest of it."
So he takes the little boy, wouldn't tell the mother, and goes up three day's journey back into the desert. Now, a man can walk about twenty-five, thirty miles a day, so he must've been a hundred miles from civilization. And then he saw the mountain far off. He said to the two--the ones that was holding the mules; he said, "You stay here." I want you to notice this, you people that's sick. Said, "You stay here while the lad and I go yonder to that mountain and worship, and we will return. We will return."

L-31 "How are... How is he going to return? If you're going to take him up there and kill him, and God told you to kill him, the flat words, of take his life, and you're going to take his life, how are you going to return?" That's up to God. Oh, my. Can you see it? Maybe it's just me, emotionally this morning. See? How's he going to get back?"
But God said to Abraham, "You go do it."
Abraham said, "I received him as one from the dead. And if I kill him, God's able to raise him up again. God gave the promise, that He, through him the Saviour would come, and somehow God will do it."

L-32 Moses, the father and mother of Moses had to do something similar to that. How's Moses going to be deliverer of the people when they seen he was a fair child, if they shoved him out there in a mess of a bunch of crocodiles? How was he going to be a--a deliverer? How's he going to do it?
Well, they received him in that manner, so they pushed him back out into the crocodiles, knowing that God could take care of it. And God did take care of it.
God's got His hand on His Church. God's got His hand on His man, on His woman. God's able to take care of the situation. So Abraham said, "We will return."
When you left home this morning, did you tell husband, "When I come back, I'll be feeling different." Yes, sir.
"How you going to do it?"
"I don't know, but I--I will." Oh, amen.
"I'll be different when I come back; you just watch and see."
"How are you going to do it?"
"God will provide."
There when the great crucial hour come, and they went up to the top of the mountain, and Abraham took his knife out, and took the little boy. And he said this question to him; he said, "Father, here's the--the wood, and here's the altar, but where is the burnt offering?"
He said, "God will provide an offering."
Isn't that a lesson to us? God will provide. There's no need of us getting all upset about anything. God will provide it.
