<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 Now, we find out then, a little later on as he began to move on, then there come a separation time, that he had to separate himself from his kindred. His father died. As long as the old man was along He never did bless him. But after all was separated, God appeared to him.
Lot had took his choice, went down into Sodom. As long as Lot hung along, his argument... And as long as you stick around with unbelievers, you'll find the same trouble.
But when Abraham was ninety and nine years old, ninety-nine, that made Sarah eighty-eight... Could you imagine Abraham? Could you imagine when Abraham went and told Sarah, his wife, saying, "Sweetheart, you know we've always longed to have children?"
"Oh, yes, Abraham."
"Well, bless God, we're going to have a baby."
Watch Sarah say, "Abraham, I--I--I don't understand."
"Neither do I."
"Well, how do you know we're going to have a baby?"
"God said so. That settles it. God said so; He's going to do it."

L-25 Well the... after the first few days, why, maybe the first month, why, he comes to Sarah, and he said, "Sarah, how are you feeling, honey?"
"Not a bit of difference. Abraham, are you sure?"
He said, "Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow." Sure.
"How do you know, Abraham?"
"God said so." The second month passed. "Sarah, how you feel? Anything happening?"
"Not a bit of difference."
"Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow."
"How do you know?"
"God said so." The first year passed. "Sarah, you still are going to have those diapers and things ready?"
"Yes."
"Have you felt any different?"
"Not a bit."
"But hallelujah, were going to have it anyhow. God said so." Keep my thoughts on them, they'll be all right. See?
All right, when twenty-five years passed, twenty-five years passed. "Sarah, how do you feel?"
"No different."
"Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow!"
There you are. He didn't look at circumstances; He looked at what God said. He was looking at the Word.

L-26 Here some time ago, went in to pray for a boy that had diphtheria in his throat and he's choking to death. Dear old daddy come over with the mother... Anointed that boy... First, they wouldn't let me go in. And the doctor there, the head doctor, was... I learned, was Catholic. And I said, "Well, you'd let the priest go in."
He said, "That's different; you're a married man and got children."
I said, "I mean just as much to that boy, as the priest would mean to a Catholic boy." I said, "The father here has sent for me to come pray for the boy."
He said, "But you got children, Reverend."
I said, "I know that, but I've got a Saviour, too."
He said, "Do you know that you could pass the disease to your child?"
I said, "Doctor, I appreciate your ethics and all that you do, but there's one thing you don't understand." I said, "My God can shield me from that. He's done it a many times through leprosy and everything else. I take His Word for it."

L-27 And when we went in he dressed me up like a Ku Klux Klan. And when we went in there, and knelt down to pray for the boy--just an ordinary little prayer... Got up. The Mother's on one side and the Dad was on the next side. The boy had been unconscious for two days. And his heart had went so low, till the cardiogram showed... I forget what it was. I don't understand the machinery of it, but the nurse said it would never rise again; it couldn't; never had been known to rise--his heart beat.
