<TITLE>14. Par 54-58</TITLE>L-54 Now. Sarah and Abraham had got way down till they was a hundred years old. And I can see Abraham get up next morning, said, "Say, dear..." You know, Sarah was a beautiful woman when she was young. And said, "Say, dear, do you know what? Your hair is turning dark again. I see all the wrinkles going out from under your face since last night."
"Well," she said, "dad, I notice that your shoulders are straightening up."
Oh, my. A few hours later, he went out to get a bucket of water, or something, maybe, come back; he said, "Sarah, you look beautiful."
She said, "Why, Abraham, you look like you did when I married you." He turned them back.

L-55 "Oh," you say, "Brother Branham, that's foolish." Well, wait a minute, now, just a minute. See?
Watch. The Bible said they took a journey from then and went all the way down to Gerar. Measure it on your map; it's about three hundred miles. That's quite a trip for an old grandma and grandpa, isn't it? Over the hot deserts down to Gerar, not only that, but when they got down there, that Philistine king by the name of Abimelech, was hunting for a sweetheart. And all those beautiful Philistine girls around when he saw this old grandma, with a little hat, little stooped shoulders shaking on a cane, he said, "That's the one I've been waiting for, I want her." And he fell in love with Sarah. Is that the Scripture? Amen. What happened? She went back to a young beautiful woman. Amen.

L-56 Look. It proves it, friends. If God was going to give her a baby and her a hundred years old, the first thing He had to do was stimulate that heart, or she couldn't have the baby. You adults know what I'm talking about. She was too weak.
Now, and another thing He'd have to do, He would have to create veins for the milk. They didn't have these health and hygiene bottles in them days. The women didn't smoke cigarettes then, and cause the trouble they're having now. The mother raised her baby like she should. And you know what? There He had to create veins, 'cause they were dried up. And He had to perform a miracle to make her womb fertile, because it was dead. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God don't patch up things; He just made a brand new woman. Amen. Hallelujah. That's what He's going to do to every daughter of Abraham and every son of Abraham that'll take His promise. Sure He will. It proves it.

L-57 Sarah brought forth the baby (That's true.) without any trouble at all, and raised him, lived many years till he was about forty-five years old. And after Sarah died, look at Abraham, now, to show that he turned back, he married another woman and had nine sons besides the daughters. Glory. That's our God. That's what He did. That's what He will do to every believer. Someday when Jesus comes, every wrinkle, every gray hair, every withered arm, everything else will pass away and God will bring it back in its beauty, in its splendor someday to live with Him forever.
Oh, I love Him. I'm glad tonight that I know Him in the power of His resurrection, that some of these glorious days, He will send Jesus. "Them which are dead in Christ shall rise first, and we which are alive shall be caught up with them to meet the Lord in the air and forever be there." In His beauty, and the splendor of health and youth forever and forever will we reign with Him, because you believed on His Son that He raised up from the dead. Amen.

L-58 Oh, my. I--I ain't to my text yet. We'll just have to let it go, maybe. I don't want to hold you; tomorrow's Sunday. You love Him? You believe Him? He's risen from the dead, the firstfruits of those who slept. He's here tonight. He's in His Person, in His power.
The Bible said, in Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and for ever." You believe that? Then if He said, "The things that I do shall you also, more than this shall you do for I go unto My Father," He's obligated to that Word. Is that right?
