<TITLE>14. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 That's my heavenly Father. What do I care about what death can do. I know what He can do in the resurrection. He knew, could just go, "Whew." That's all there is to it. I'm glad that He knows me. I'm glad He knows you. And so it makes us exceedingly glad to know that that's our heavenly Father. Yes, sir. So what's to--what's there to worry about? Death, where is your sting?
No wonder Paul could say, "I know Him in the power of His resurrection." Now, I don't know Him by book. I don't know Him by letter. I know Him in the power of His resurrection. Do you know Him that way? If you've been borned again, you do know Him that way, in the power of His resurrection. He said, "When He calls from among the dead, I'll come out." That's the main thing: know Him in the power of His resurrection.
An insurance agent come to my house some time ago. He said, "Billy, I'd like to sell you an insurance policy."
Oh, I said, "I've already got one." My wife looked at me strange. She knowed I didn't have any of that kind of insurance.
He said, "You got one? What company you got it with?"
I said, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory Divine. Heir of salvation, purchased of God. Borned of His Spirit, washed in His Blood."

L-55 He stood and looked at me a little bit, said, "That's nice, Billy, I like to hear you say that." But said, "That won't put you in the graveyard out here."
But I said, "It'll get me out. I'm not worried about getting there; I'm thinking about getting out. That's the main thing." The assurance policy that Christ lives, I live also, and know Him in the power of His resurrection. Amen...?... He's good. He's wonderful.
Now, after Abraham and the destruction there, God spoke to Abraham. And while he was setting there, eating this cow, this calf, drinking the milk, Sarah was back in the tent. She wasn't like some of these woman today in America ('Course you don't have them like that in Canada.), just has to be seen in everything. But she was back in the tent.

L-56 So while she was back there, God looked around to Abraham, said, "Now, according to the time of life, I'm going to visit you." Said, "Where's Sarah?"
Said, "She's in the tent."
Said, "Now, according to the time of life..." Had His back turned now to the tent. The Bible said He had His back turned to the tent.
And Sarah on the inside, went, "Me, an old woman of ninety years old, going have a baby?"
God looked right straight at Abraham, said, "What did Sarah laugh for?" Was that mental telepathy? That's what they say it is today, mental telepathy.
Sarah got scared. She run up and said, "I didn't laugh."
Said, "Oh, yes, you did." She was scared. Abraham's grace, of course, through God held her at that time.

L-57 Now, I want to ask you something. I want... Most of you here are adults. I want to ask you something, dad and mother, just in a closing moment right now. I'll have to close and finish tomorrow night if I can. Oh, I just love this, just... It's just them old nuggets just to pull them out and polish them up, and they everyone point straight to Calvary, every one of them's a finished work.
Now, the Bible said that Sarah and Abraham were well-stricken in age, old man and old woman. But Abraham had been laying on the bosom of El Shaddai up there in the poor lands, but he was nursing from God's Word, the Breasted God. "He was wounded for our transgressions. With His stripes we were healed." Is that right? The Bible said that we were, that with His stripes we were healed.
