<TITLE>11. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Abraham was... Now another thing he was called: when a man has got this kind of a promise give to him, he's asked to separate hisself from unbelievers. That's what makes so many people fail with healing. Come down, and the Lord perform a miracle on them, and they get off amongst unbeliever say, "Now, you are just worked up, dear. Now, you know there's nothing to that. Now, that's just mental emotion. That's the devil."
And the first thing you know, there's the devil coming right back. And you say, "Well, I--may--maybe I--I--I--well--I..." Th--there you are right back in the same condition where you were. See? Separate yourself. The Bible calls for separation.

L-44 You know, when you go to choose your pastor, usually the people choosing their pastor, they want to choose a good mixer. "Oh, we want a fellow that's sociable, that can do this and do that." God don't call for that kind of man. God calls for separators. Separate, come out from among them; separate yourself.
You take a lot of times people choosing their pastor. I know you do it here. Done it in America they got a lot of Hollywood evangelism, little sissified boys that's ashamed to say what truth is. And a lot of pastors are afraid to tell people where they're standing on account of their meal ticket.
Brother, what we need today is to take off your coat, roll up your sleeves and preach the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. I don't need a bunch of fanaticism. I need an old fashion Holy Ghost, God-sent revival. That's what the world needs, not so much of this Hollywood carry-on. Call God's Word right and devil's wrong. Make it right and wrong.

L-45 Sometimes, we see those things in our churches, but Abraham, he walked on. He separated himself from all of his associates. And God told him, "Now, you'll sojourn in a strange land." And every man that comes to Christ has to sojourn amongst strangers it used to be. You used to not like to go to church and associate with the people who loved the Lord. But whenever you take God at His Word and receive His promise, then you change your association.
The boys down at the pool room ain't got any more on you no more. You won't play cards; you don't drink; you don't act like you used to. You've separated; you've crossed the line, come on over the Euphrates and become a Hebrew, a called-out.

L-46 Then, and he was asked to sojourn in a strange land among strange peoples speaking strange languages, but he did it because he believed God and wanted to be--inherit the promise that God had give him. Oh, how on my heart... I'm going preach too long. I just feel like I could almost preach right now, sure enough.
And to think of the little time that we have. We hit the high places for a few moments. Now, we'll notice Abraham as he came out and become a sojourner in a strange land among strange people. And first thing you know, he had someone with him who was lukewarm: Lot. Lot was his nephew and was lukewarm.
