<TITLE>10. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 Now, notice, many times people misunderstand. Now, I have to bring this in here to compare something in a comparison. And I hope you don't under--think it to be a carnal comparison, 'cause I don't mean it of all the operation or something that I do or you'd do. But that it might increase your faith that Jesus has raised from the dead, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And manifest Hisself in the same way here in His church that He did when He was here on earth. Oh, I hope you see it.
Now, look, in Him dwelt the Fulness. He was the Diamond Himself. Notice, when God wanted to use His gift, He spoke to the Lord Jesus in the time of Mary and Martha's trouble when Lazarus was going to get sick.
Now, remember, Jesus being questioned, said, "He did not do nothing till the Father showed Him first what to do." Keep that. Now, that is God's eternal Word. And if Jesus told something that wasn't so, then He wasn't Messiah. So that has to be settled the truth.

L-32 When a man said not long ago, he believed the devil could heal, because what he could see. I said, "Jesus said he could not heal." So that settles it. If Satan could cast out Satan, his kingdom is divided. So if Jesus said he can't heal, he can't heal; that settles it. You must believe God's eternal Word. Regardless of what things look like, you believe the Word anyhow. You don't look at circumstance.
What if Abraham would've looked at the circumstance? Isaac would've never been born. But Abraham called those things which were not as though they were. And if we're the seed of Abraham, we have the same kind of faith towards God's promise. Those things that's contrary to God's promise, we don't see them and ignore them. Amen.

L-33 Brother, that's the faith that was once delivered to the saints: to believe God's Word regardless of what circumstances. That has nothing to do with it.
Abraham called those things... And as he got older, the promise looked like it was farther away and farther away. Abraham got stronger all the time, giving praise to God, more of a miracle. When He told him he was going to have a baby, I imagine he got the pins and the birdeye and everything ready. But when the first month come along, there was nothing doing, "How are you feeling, Sarah?"
"No different."
He said, "Glory to God, we're going to have it, anyhow." God said so. That settles it. Sure.
Second month passed, "How are you feeling, Sarah?"
"No different."
"Glory, we're going to have it, anyhow." First year passed, no different, "Hallelujah, we'll have it anyhow." Ten years passed, "Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow." He got older all the time.

L-34 You--we--we claim to be Abraham's seed. But if God don't answer it just like that to you, "Well, I guess there's nothing to it." Abraham's seed, shame on you. Hold onto God's promises. Call anything else a lie. Keep God's promises...?... That's it.
After he was a hundred years old, he still said, "We're going to have it, anyhow." And he did. Sure, 'cause it was God's promise. That's what Abraham's seed does. And if we being dead in Christ, we take on Abraham's seed, and are heirs according to the promise. Then what kind of a spirit should be in you?
I'm afraid, friends, as I talked to your pastor today, churches get the pastor's spirit instead of God's Spirit. That's right. We don't need one another's spirit; there's no need of that. We need God's Spirit. That's... You go into a church and watch the way the pastor acts. Watch the congregation act the same way.
