<TITLE>15. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 So he caught his own little son, pulled his hands behind him, Isaac not making a move or asking any questions, obedient to death, just as Christ was; tied his hands behind him, tied his feet, laid him upon the rock, brushed back his little curls out of his face, reached down and he got that real sharp knife, looked up towards the heavens, pulled his throat back, raised his knife to take his life; and about that time the Holy Spirit caught his hand, said, "Abraham, stay your hand. I know that you love Me, for thou would not prevent Me from having your only son." And about that time, a ram bleated, hooked in the wilderness by his horns, now, not a ewe but a ram, speaking of Christ.
And I want to ask you something, where did that ram come from? He's about seventy-five or a hundred miles from civilization. Wild beasts, lions, wolves, wild dogs, the desert's full of them. How could he have ever got there? And another thing, he was way on top of a mountain where there's no water. How did he get there? Jehovah-jireh. God spoke him into existence, just as same as he spoke that body into existence, just the same as He will speak someday and by the grace of God I'll come forward. How, I don't know, but He's Jehovah-jireh. He promised that He will do it. He spoke and that lamb bleated. He walked over, and took the lamb, and killed it in Isaac's place.
Now, brother, it wasn't a vision; there was blood run out of the ram. He was a living sheep. He laid it on the altar, cut its throat, and blood run from it. Not a vision, it was a ram. What was it? He was Jehovah-jireh. He will keep His Word.

L-53 And He's Jehovah-jireh tonight. He will keep His Word. What He's promised, that He will do. For He has to keep His Word; He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, without the beginning of days or ending of life. Jehovah-jireh. Without any hesitation, I take the position tonight, as a minister of the Gospel to say that He's right here tonight, to perform everything that He's promised He'd do. If He can only get you to believe Him.
Let us pray. Would you like to have Him as your Saviour? Would you like for your name to be on His Book tonight? If it isn't will you raise your hand to Him just for the next moment? God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. You, lady. You, you, you. That's wonderful. You here, sir. Back over there, brother. You, you. Oh, my, hands... Twenty or twenty-five on the main floor already.

L-54 The balconies to my right, quickly, while the Spirit's a moving, would you raise your hand say it, "I'd like for You to put my name on the Book, that someday when I'm not even dust no more, when You speak I'll hear You. I'll come into existence. My old days will drop away, and I'll be young forever. You promised it. Something's knocking at my heart that You give me the invitation. Not if I'll quit drinking, if I'll quit smoking, if I'll quit gambling; if I'll just accept it right now."
God bless you, lady. God bless you, sir. God bless you, back there, brother. God bless you over here, sister. Up in this way now, anybody? God bless you. What's the matter with them balconies up there? You mean the Holy Spirit just comes on the main floor? I wouldn't set in the balcony then. What about in the back? Anybody back there, say, "I want Him for my Saviour"? The balcony to my left? What's the matter with them balconies? I never get a hand out of those balconies, and seldom the Spirit ever goes to the balcony to call someone. What's the matter with it? Get on the main floor, if I had to set on the platform. I'd get out of it then.
