<TITLE>12. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 Now, don't be in a hurry, but I want to show you something here to you folks. What did God do to Sarah and Abraham right then? After the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and so forth, if you notice, God took...
Now, you have to read the Bible as on the line, and in between the line, because it's hid from the eyes of the wise and prudent. Now, the way you'll find that is be in love with God, and God will reveal it to you. Oh, my, the Bible's a new Book after you're converted.
Now notice, when I'm overseas I love my wife, oh, so much. And when she writes me a letter, she'll set down and say, "Dear Billy, I miss you so much tonight. I've just put the children to bed. I kissed little Joseph once for you." Now, that's what she's saying on the letter, but right in between there I see a stain, a little tear drop. I'm reading between the line. For I... She's trying to act like a soldier, but I know what's between the line, because I love her.
And when you love God, you don't pick It up and read It like a newspaper; there's just something there that just grips you and holds you.

L-43 Watch what God did. God showed Sarah and Abraham what He's going to do to each one of you men and women tonight, that's saved. You know what He done? He turned Sarah and Abraham back to a young man and a young woman. He did it.
Now notice, we know that Sarah now, nearly a hundred, ninety years old; there had to be a miracle done. Now listen, first thing, if her womb was infertile, He had to make it fertile. That right? All right. Another thing, if she nearly a hundred years old... And you'd listen to your doctor; I'm your brother. And I got a mixed audience, but she could never go to labor with a heart like that of a nearly a hundred years old. So He had to give her a new heart. Them days women didn't smoke cigarettes, so they had to raise their babies on bottles, so they--they had to raise them by the breast, the way God intended for them to be. So in order to do that, the milk veins had dried up in her breasts so He had to make milk veins and so forth so the baby could nurse. God don't patch things up like that; He just made her a new woman. I can prove it by God's Word.

L-44 Now watch. You say, "Can you do it, Brother Branham?" Just watch.
Notice. Just a few days after that, Sarah and Abraham took a three hundred mile journey. Certainly, that's quite a distance for a real old man and woman a hundred years old, dawdling along the road. And when they got down into the land of the Philistines, there was a righteous man down there in--in the city, and his name... I--a--Abilelech... No. Can't call his name just now: Abimelech. Abimelech was a king, a young king, and he was hunting hisself a sweetheart. And all those pretty girls there was along there, when he seen grandma coming, Sarah a hundred years old, a little shawl over a shoulder, a little dust cap, toddling along the road, "Oh," he said, "there she is. That's the one I've waited on for a long time." He fell in love with Sarah. The Bible said he did. An old grandma a hundred years old now, and a young king looking for a sweetheart, falls in love with this beautiful Hebrew woman.
"Oh," you say, "Brother Branham, they lived longer that way."
Wait just a minute, the Bible said they were both well stricken in age. Oh, I--I feel like a holy-roller now. Think of it: My God making the covenant with Abraham and Sarah, and their seed. Certainly.. He's not a weakling, some kind of a prehistoric something pushed off in a corner. He's Jehovah God, the I AM, not the I was, the I AM.
I'm not yelling at you, but I--I don't mean to deafen you, but I'm not excited; I just feel good.
