<TITLE>08. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Then Abraham believed Him. And when he did, Abraham hadn't questioned. But God said, "I'm going to tell you how it's done, Abraham. I am the Bosomed One. I am your Mother," in other words. "You're just a baby to Me. You're a hundred years old. You're just a baby. And the natural stream of life has passed from you. But I am your Life-giver." Get it? "I am your Mother. Now, don't fret, just--just nurse from Me, and you'll have your strength like a young man." We're going to get to that in a minute and see if he did. All right.
"You just stay right with Me, Abraham, and nurse right from Me, because I am the Breasted God. I have all... I can give you Eternal Life, after you are gone from this world. And I can heal your body and make you a different person while you are here on earth. I can prolong your days. I can give you good health. I can do that because I am the Breasted One."
Look at Jesus when He said, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness..." What for? A compound reason. The people were chiding against Moses and God. And they were sick and need healing. So for the forgiveness of their sins, and the healing of their bodies...

L-27 God appeared to Abraham as El Shaddai for the forgiveness of sins and healing of the body: El Shaddai, the Breasted One. Jesus was wounded for our transgression, with His stripes we are healed. We can take from either resource. Amen. Oh, my. When Christians begin to get that, Satan begins to get ready to leave. He's finished when people can say, "I don't care." No certain healer has to come by. No certain this has to happen. Only thing I want on earth to hear that God said so; that settles it with me then. I'll take it and go from right there. Then you got it. Amen. That's what we need.
Pure, unadulterated Gospel teaching the church is dying for it, that's right. You believe that? The world is. That's right.

L-28 Notice. Then Abraham, he was happy about that, of course. He went on. And then we find out that there come a strife between Lot's herdsmen and so forth. And I want to show you just a little thing here on the coming of the Lord, just while we're in tonight. And I'll try not to be late, to get quickly to my point. But watch here. Just Abraham was an heir to the world. And Lot was a type of the lukewarm believer. He was a believer. He had left his homeland to sojourn with God, but always, never fully surrendered. And that's what's the trouble in the full Gospel church tonight, along with the rest of them, is people who's left their--the world, and keep out of the world. They don't want to go to gambling and drinking and carrying on. They are a believer, but have never made a complete surrender.
Oh, if you only knew what that inside hidden life, where you're in there with Christ and the... All the walls has dropped around you. In the Old Testament that hidden life was beautifully typed in the journey of the children of Israel.
Notice. Manna fell every night. And the people would go out and pick it up every day. Now, in the old courts there was a--there was a court on the outside; the brazen laver was out there. Then there was a holy place where seven pronged candlesticks burnt. And then there was the holiest of holies.
