<TITLE>09. Par 40-44</TITLE>L-40 Now, as we notice, going just a little further. We find that when Abraham had separated himself from Lot... And I want you to notice the Christian act in Abraham. He said, "Lot, you take the choice." Lot, being backslidden in his heart, he took the well watered plains of Sodom and Gomorrah. But Abraham had to take the poor. He had to take the barren ground. But he was satisfied, no matter what his estate was, he was satisfied that God was with him.
I'd rather have the Presence of God with me and be called a "holy-roller" than be a archbishop in some other church that couldn't believe the powers of God. That's right. If I had to worship in a mission or a brush harbor, I'd like to be where the Spirit of God is. That's exactly right.

L-41 And when he separated himself, then God told Abraham, "Stand up. Look to the east, to the west, to the north, to the south." Said, "Every bit of it belongs to you." That was good enough. "It's all yours; walk through it." I like that, "Walk through it."
That's what's the matter with the church today. When a man is borned again of the Spirit of God, every Divine blessing in this Bible belongs to you.

L-42 Well, when I buy a house... Why, it's just like if this place belonged to me and it was a big arcade. And I come in here, I want to find out what I got. I go around, pull out this drawer and look in it see what I got in here, go over here and see what I got over here. If anything seems just a little too high, I get me a step ladder and go up to it, find out what it's all about.
And when I got saved, brother, I took this old treasure Book of God and looked through It to see what I possessed. I find out that every blessing that's in that Bible belongs to me, and it belongs to every believer. Yes, sir.
If some of them seems to be a little out of my reach, I'll pray till I get to it. That's right. Every promise in the Book is yours.
This great arcade of God's economy belongs to every believer. And by one Spirit we're all baptized into this big arcade. And every thing in there belongs to us. And we're heir of all things, and every promise of God. Amen.

L-43 When Abraham got old... Now, he got to be about... I can imagine hearing Abraham after about the first month, here he comes in laughing, said, "Sarah, how you feel, honey?"
"No different."
Said, "Well, hallelujah, we're going to have it anyhow." That's right.
Those out on the street said, "What about it Abraham? It's been twenty-eight days since then, how's things down at your house?"
"Doesn't make any difference how they are down there, it's all right up there." Depends on what you're looking at. What about these...?...

L-44 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... "When they come out, they'll knock me in the head. Well, they'll never feed me."
But if that old mother was well instructed, she'd say, "Wait a minute, sonny, looky here. You have a birthright. Don't make any difference what you look at, what you look like, rather, but when the priest comes and finds out, when the owner finds out that you're born, no matter what condition you're in, the priest will never see you, but a lamb without a blemish will have to die in your stead."
Oh brother, stop looking at your self and look at your sacrifice. If you can find any fault in that, all right. But if you find no fault in that, then you're perfect. Amen. 'Cause it's not you that God's accepted; He accepted Christ, and Christ accepted you. And you are dead, and your life is hid in God through Christ, sealed by the Holy Ghost and all the devils in hell can't turn you out of there (Amen.), for you are God's property. God never looks at you; He looks at Christ.
