<TITLE>15. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 Now, somebody just watch the little kiddie there. It's probably a spasm or spell or something she's had. That's it. All right. Just look this a way. Just keep on talking. See? We'll see what...
Now, I want to ask you something. There in the midst... God had spoke to Sarah and Abraham and had told them that what He was going to do with them. And Abraham was leaning on the bosom of the Lord. Is that right? How many believes that, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Leaning on the bosom of the Lord...
All right. Then what did God do? God made His promise of what He would keep His Word. And God's obligated to keep His Word. Is that right? How many believes that? God will keep His Word.

L-59 Now, I want you to notice something, what taken place. Now, this might be a great deal of an encouragement. Now, all of you set down, folks. You mustn't do that. See? Set down. The lady is just in a spell, spasm, or epileptic, or something. If we just be real quiet. It's hard to tell what... The Holy Spirit might heal the woman right now. You've heard of these meetings, so just... Don't be alarmed. Listen to the Word. Put that first. There's some men there, hold her and everything. Poor thing, she's in a condition. I'm trying to go ahead, preaching, and seeing if He... what He'd tell me to so. See?
So I have to have your prayer, and faith, and attention right now, to see what to say for the poor mortal that's in that condition. We're preaching faith, and we got to know what we got to say, before we can say it. You see what I mean? So don't get alarmed. Look this a way, and just keep watching to the Word, and let the Holy Spirit do the speaking.

L-60 Now, notice real close. God promised Abraham that... He was what? El Shaddai, the Breast. So in other words He would be the mother to God--or to Abraham. Is God a Mother? Sure He is. We are borned of God. Is that right? So that makes God our Mother. God is our Father. God, in Christ is our brother. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's right. And God, Christ is our Bridegroom, and we are the Bride. This is the other part of the Covenant God made with His people and with Christ... Who took Christ up as a memorial and shed forth the Holy Spirit here as His Covenant with His people.
Now, I want to ask you something. God did a special thing here for Abraham, a special thing. Now, how many here is a past the age of twenty-five years old? Let's see your hands, way up: past the age of twenty-five. Anyone knows that when you pass twenty-five, your best days is over, your youthful days.
Now, can you remember the time when you took mother and went down to the altar? I'm looking at a couple setting here. I'm looking over here at another couple, and down here at different couples. I'm looking around in the room. And a lot of you can remember when you taken that lovely little sweetheart of yours. And mother, you remember what dad looked like: fine, handsome, strong-looking man. And mother, sweet as she was, and her hair, and her rosy cheeks, and her sparkling eyes... You walked down to the altar and promised God that you would live together until death separated you. And you was at your very best.
Now, notice what happened. After a while, what taken place? You begin to notice. You looked, and said, "Dad, there's a gray hair coming in your head." What's happening?
"Mother, there's a wrinkle coming under that beautiful eyes of yours." What's happened? Death set in. That's right.

L-61 And it'll put you in this corner, that corner, somewhere another, but finally it'll take you. Is that right? Now, you're old and wrinkled; many of you are turning back. the shades are falling, face is wrinkling; you can't get around like you used to. Then you'll look back and think, "Oh, my, if I could only go back to the time when I took her by her lovely little hand, kissed her hand, and told her I'd live true to her till death separated us. All these years we've lived true to God, and here we are, old and shaking."
