<TITLE>15. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 Now look, readers, you might criticize this. Now look, if the woman was a hundred years old, right on a hundred, God... She had been barren all this time. God had to create something in her, because her womb was dead. Is that right? If He did that... It's a mixed audience. I don't mean to be speaking like this, but in order for the woman to have the baby, it--in that time when the baby's being born, she'd have to have a new heart. That heart couldn't beat through that woman a hundred years old; there was no milk veins. She couldn't raise it on a bottle. Women didn't smoke cigarettes and have to raise their babies on bottles them days. They had to raise it the old--the real way. That's right.
So... That's the truth. You know it's the truth. The--the biggest communistic... Why, it's the worst; it's the most dirty thing you've ever done: a woman smoke cigarettes. I've got my opinion of her. That's right.
I want to tell you something else. And I've got my opinion of a man that would let his wife smoke cigarettes. It shows who's the boss. Exactly. She's...?... for you. Didn't say that's to be throwing. I don't mean it that way. I mean it's the truth. It's a disgrace to see way men so... Why, their sissified or more than their women are. Who rules around your house anyhow? That's right.
Sarah was a beauti... Now, you ought to feel ashamed, lady. I'm watching whose face gets red. I'm up here, way up high; I can watch you. This might burn a little bit, but it'll be good for you.

L-37 Notice, Sarah, beautiful woman again, and Abimelech fell in love with her. God had changed her. She was back to a young woman again, and Abraham. Showed it. They brought the baby forth: God did for them. She was back about thirty years old. And what He showed in Abraham and them, He proved what He's going to do for you and I someday (Amen.), to those who will take His promise and call those things which are as though they wasn't, if it's contrary to God's Word. Amen. Believe God. Lay hold on it. Hold on to it. Set your course towards heaven; look at Calvary, the Author and Finisher of our faith and not some scientific book.
Notice, look to Calvary. Watch just a minute now. Then talk about being a young woman, sure she was and Abraham a young man. Now, look, they brought Isaac to the world and when Isaac was a man of forty-five, Sarah died, and then Abraham married another woman; and I believe he had either seven or nine boys beside the girls after that. Certainly he did. He turned him back to a young man again. That's God's Word; I believe It. Yes, sir.
Look at Abraham when he--he said it way down the line--when he was way down the line, 'fore he was a hundred and forty-five, when he was yet eighty, he considered not his own body then dead. Oh, He's wonderful.

L-38 Now, when the little boy was born, God proving that after Abraham had held on for all these years... When he was about twelve years old, God said, "Now, Abraham, I'm going to show those Cadle Tabernacle folks up there, one of these days, that I keep My promise; and I'll show the world that you got faith in Me. I want you... I've made you a father of many nations, and this boy, in him, I'm going to call the seed from Isaac. And I say this: that I want you to take Isaac out there and kill him."
The only hope that he had was in Isaac. So I imagine Abraham couldn't tell poor Sarah that, was going to take this fine little twelve year--fourteen year old boy, his little curly hair hanging down around his shoulders, and... his only child, and both of them then getting up to middle age again, and... Why, how could they do it, take that poor... Couldn't tell Sarah, so he got all the wood together and put it on a mule, got a couple of servants.
