<TITLE>09. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 And then God told Abraham, He said, "Now that you're separated from Lot..." He took the bad choice. All the fields was watered down in Sodom. Big cities were built full of sin. And isn't it strange that that lukewarm believer, Lot, would go down to the best place he could find, the most beautiful place he could find, take the road of ease? And isn't it strange thing that sometimes people who say that they believe God, they want to take the road of luxury? They want to take the road where there's no trials. They want to take the easiest way out. They want to take the way that's not persecuted. They want to take the road of ease. They're just a lukewarm believer.
But Abraham, the man of God, gave Lot his choice and taken what was left. Oh, I just love that. A real believer will give you your choice; he's willing to take what's left. There's no selfishness in a real believer, not at all.

L-34 Now, notice again. After Lot had separated and taken his place, God appeared to Abraham. He said, "Abraham, rise up. Look all around. Look to the east; look to the west, to the north, and to the south." He said, "Every bit of it belongs to you; it's all yours; I've give it to you. It's yours..." Well, Abraham was going to fall heir to all of it. So He said, "Get up and walk around through the land and see what you own." I think God calls His children of Abraham to do that.
If this little group of people gathered here tonight would only get up, if the people in Phoenix alone, would only search out through the Word what you have, you possess all things. All things was given to us by Jesus Christ, if we're believers.

L-35 You know, if I bought a home, and it was mine, I'd go through the thing, see what I had. I'm just kind of a prospector; I like to dig around, find out what I got. I'm an heir of salvation. I'm an heir to divine healing. I'm an heir of heaven. I'm an heir to the earth. I'm an heir, joint-heir with Christ in all things. Then I like to look through His Book to prospect and see what all I'm an heir to.
You know, it's just like a great big arcade--a great big place. If they told me I owned that arcade, I would go around and see what I had. I like to pull out this drawer and look in it and see what I got in there. Or I'd go over here and open this place up and see what I got in there. Or I could go somewhere else and look. And if some place looks just a little bit high, I'd just get me a step-ladder; walk right up, and pull it down, and look at it, see what that belongs to me. It's all mine.
Well, that's the way it is in the Bible. If anything looks too far away, too big, too high, just get down on your knees; that's your step-ladder. "Lord, let me understand it." Just keep moving right up till you touch it. Look it over; it belongs to you. It's all yours. It's for every believer.
