<TITLE>07. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 The boy's married now, and got a baby. So that just shows, depends on what you are looking at. So, you see, you must look at God's promise. See? No matter what takes place, look at God's promise, not how you feel, but what God said. Now, that's Abraham's faith.
When he was here, almost now, he was seventy-five years old and Sarah, sixty-five, and He said they was going to have a baby. And Abraham was strong in faith, giving praise to God, for he knew that God was able to keep His promise. Amen.
How He child trained him for twenty-five years. You know, God trains every child that comes to Him. And the Bible said, "Every son that cometh to God must be chastened of God." And if we cannot stand chastisement, then we're not children of God; we become illegitimate children. A real child of God doesn't mind the whipping rod, the chastisement, doesn't mind the disappointments; he wades right on just the same. God said so. It's in his heart and nothing can move it, he's just there to stay. And Abraham, that's the way he acted upon God's promise, and that's the way every child of Abraham acts tonight. You believe it down here in this pit tonight?

L-28 Believe it. No matter what takes place, believe it anyhow. You see, Christians don't look at what they see; Christians look at things they don't see. And the things you don't see are more real than the things that you see. You see that microphone. It'll perish. I see faith that'll never perish. See? I see love--love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. Every shield of the believer is supernatural. Everything that belongs in the realm of Christianity is worked by supernatural. An atheist once said to me, said, "Anything that can't be scientifically proven isn't real."
I said, "Anything that can be scientifically proven isn't real." That's vice versa.
He said, "There's something wrong with you."
I... "Yeah, I got saved; that's what's wrong."
And he said, "Oh look." He said...
I said, "Now, you're, here you're looking at television you was trying sell me."

L-29 He said... I said, "That's wonderful." I said, "You see, there's something that's supernatural. That picture's coming through us before it hits that screen."
He said, "Oh, yes," but said, "that's easy." Said, "We've got a sending station and a receiving station."
I said, "So have we." Amen. That's right. We got a sending station and a receiving station. Certainly. Just tune all the static, the unbelief out, and watch what takes place. Watch the picture clear up; then you say, "Oh, yes, Lord, I see now."
That makes the difference; it depends on how much static you let get in. You see? And don't let no static... Just stay right with God and right with the Word and God will bring it right straight through to the positive every time.
