<TITLE>07. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 Doctor Moses had one prescription. He kept them all well with it. "I'm the Lord that healeth all thy diseases." That's the only prescription he used. And it worked on every case.
Say that's a good thing for a doctor to pack in his briefcase, isn't it? "I'm the Lord Who healeth all thy diseases." That's what Moses used. And it kept people alive for forty years and not a feeble one among them. Isn't that wonderful? Because he used God's Word. You can't go wrong as long as you're using the Word. Stay with the Word.

L-26 Now, God said to Abraham, "Take your little boy out there. I'll show you a mountain. And you go upon this mountain and kill him."
Now, what if Abraham said, "Now wait, was that vision true? Let me study now. Was that vision true? Now, God said for me to take my boy and kill him. Now, how am I ever going to be the father of nations, and that's my seed and that's a promised seed. Now, how am I ever going to be the father of nations when God is destroying the only hope I have here. Is that the only hope that I have? No, I still got His Word. He promised be back there that He'd do it. And through Isaac all the world would be blessed."
So he said, "I..." Listen to Abraham now. "I received him as one from the dead. I'm persuaded that God's able to raise him up from the dead." Oh, my. Even with a hoarse throat, I feel religious. Sure. Abraham said, "If I received him as one from the dead..." What?

L-27 The seed in his own body was dead at a hundred years old. The deadness of Sarah's womb, they were both sterile to being with. And then if God performed a miracle and put this germ of life in there, he received him from the dead, as one being dead, then God's able to raise him up from the dead: Perfect type of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Oh, my. If that wouldn't make Presbyterians shout. Think of that. Certainly.
Abraham staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to his Name.

L-28 I can imagine. It was on Sunday afternoon when He spoke to him maybe. On Monday morning how's he going to do? Poor little Isaac, he looks at him. Oh, he loves him. But I can't look at that. I got to think of obeying of God. So he couldn't tell Sarah. 'Cause, you know, the ladies are the weaker vessel. So you sometime you have to watch. "So I--I can't tell Sarah 'cause she wouldn't understand."
Sarah never was too strong anyhow in the faith. 'Cause she lacked, she disbelieved the promise. But Abraham held her, because the man and woman are one. The woman could not be saved in the Old Testament only by the man, 'cause it was circumcision. And she had to be joined to her husband in order to receive it. But in the last days, God's poured out His Spirit, and the women are circumcised in the heart just like the man.

L-29 Now... But she believed her husband and called him lord. So he said, "Now, I can't, I--I can't tell Sarah." So he... Maybe say, "Sarah, Isaac and I are going to take a little trip. We'll be back." "How are we coming back? God's able. If He said so, He will bring us back." That's good.
So he saddles up a mule the next morning. Cuts some wood and laid it on the mule's back. He's going out in the desert.
And now, look. He walked three days. And at the end of the three days, he lifted up his eyes and saw the mountain, where God showed him in the vision, a way off.
