<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 Now, God speaking... And just a little background for just another comment or two, then straight to the service, the healing line, as quick as we can because this time just gets away. And tomorrow night, we want to spend a little more time, so we'll let you early tonight.
Now, we find that Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness. And when he was seventy-five years old, God called him, and give the covenant to him, and told him that He was going to save him. And He'd come to him at an old age, ripe old age, and told him that he, and his wife, which was sixty-five, were going to have a child. And Abraham called those things which were not as though they were, 'cause he knew that God was able to perform that which He had spoken.

L-34 And the covenant was not only made with Abraham only, but with Abraham's seed. And the Bible said that we are Abraham's seed, and are heirs according to the promise.
A minister here in Canada, years ago... I don't know where he is now. His name was Cossack. He used to say to me; he said, "Brother Bran-ham, are you any relation to Abra-ham?"
I said, "He's my father." Sure. For we being dead in Christ, take Abraham's Seed. And the heir is the Spirit-filled, borned again children of God. We are Abraham's Seed, joint heirs with Christ in the Kingdom.
And then we brought it over to a... A lady spoke to me today in the--coming through the room, said, "I had never thought of that, that horror of darkness, and that little light, or so forth, going on." In the parable last night, where God was taking Abraham and showing him how that He was going to confirm, or keep this covenant through the sacrifice of His own beloved Son. And showed that at Calvary, how God did take, and how the old covenant was, that if...

L-35 They taken an animal, killed it, cut its body in two, and stood between the pieces, and wrote out the covenant, and tore it apart, and gave one half to one, and one the other. And when they come together, the two pieces of writing had to dovetail one with another, or they took an oath, "Let their body be as this dead animal's body. Let them be as a dead animal."
Now, and God took an oath by Himself for... A man always swears by someone greater. There was no one greater God could swear by, so He swore by Himself to this oath; took this oath.
And at Calvary, several hundred years later, He took His Son, and tore His body apart, His soul and body, and lifted up His body and set it on His right hand, and sent the Holy Spirit to the Church to continue the works of the Lord Jesus till He come.

L-36 And He writes the covenant... In the Old Testament back in the holiest of holies, the commandments was wrote on tables of stone. But He said, "After these days that I will pour out My Spirit, and I'll write My covenant upon the tables of their heart, and in their mind." Amen. You see It?
Then God, by the Holy Spirit, confessed faith in Christ, brings the Holy Spirit that writes the covenant of peace across your heart. Then the Spirit that was in Christ dwells in you, and It makes you act the Christlike life. And in there, God has placed in this group of people, which is called his Body: apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, pastors.
