<TITLE>10. Par 45-51</TITLE>L-45 Now, notice, then another six months passed. "Sarah, how you feeling, honey?"
"No different."
"Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow."
"How do you know? God said so. That settles it."
Ten years passed. Now, she's seventy-five; he's eighty-five. "What about it, Abraham?"
"How do you feel, Sarah?"
"No different."
"Glory, we're going to have it anyhow. Praise God, oh hallelujah," he said. The Bible said instead of getting weak, he got stronger all the time.

L-46 Now, aren't we poor examples of Abraham's children? If we don't get healed in one minute, there ain't nothing to it, nothing to it. Oh, and then you call yourself Abraham's child? Abraham got stronger all the time, 'cause the longer it waited, the more miracle it was going to be.
He said, "It's got to happen, God said so." And when Abraham was ninety and nine years old, right at a hundred years old, he still was believing that God was going to do it. And Sarah was ninety.

L-47 Notice, God said, "Come out here Abraham, I want to speak to you just a little bit." And He got him out there; He said, "Abraham, I am the Almighty God. Walk before me and be perfect." At ninety-nine years old...
And the word "Almighty" there comes from the Hebrew word "El Shaddai" which means "the bosom." "I am the Breasted God. I am the Nurse. I am the Nurser, the Breasted, not breast, breasted like the woman. For He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed: the Breasted God, not just one, but two: Wounded for our transgressions, with His stripe we were healed.

L-48 Other words, "Abraham, you're ninety-nine years old, but in My sight you're just a little baby." That's right. "Only thing I want you to do is lean right here on My bosom, and just start nursing, and stay right there. I'll bring you to your strength."
And a little baby, when its mammy... It's--it's got sick, and it's fretting, and it's weak, the little baby holds right on to the mother and nurses the mother's strength through the breast until the baby is well.
And that's what Abraham was doing, was holding on to God's breast of promise and nursing from God the eternal strength that taken to make him back a young man again. Amen.

L-49 Not only is the baby nursing strength, but it's satisfied while it's a nursing. He's not jumping from pillar to post. He's staying right put on the Word of God. "God, You promised it, and I'm satisfied You're going to do it. I know You can keep Your Word. I stay right with It."
And tonight He's the same Breasted God that He was then. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you have need of salvation, lay onto God's promise and nurse from Him.

L-50 You say, "I have the most ups-and-downs, Brother Branham." Love Him with all your heart and just keep pulling His promise to you. I tell you that He's got more vitamins in that Word than all the drug stores in the world have. That's right.
Believe it! Just see if he don't give you a little hypo once in a while in the good old fashion Holy Ghost meeting, just Spiriting you right up. And if you're sick, hold on to His Word, God promised it. He promised it; He's got to do it. He's El Shaddai, the bosomed, the All-sufficient One, the strength Giver. He's just the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-51 And then he wanted to know how it was going to be done. And if God didn't do something for him there, I hope the church can see it. He took Abraham and said, "Take a heifer of three years old, and take a--a sheep at three years old, and a she goat at three years old, and a turtledove and a pigeon." And Abraham cut them in two, all but the birds, and he laid them down, and he watched the birds off of them until the sun went down. Now, watch how God told Abraham and foreshadowed Christ.
