<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 The longer you wait, the greater a miracle it's going to be. And we can't wait fifteen minutes after we're prayed for. And then we're Abraham's children. Oh yeah, we're--we're sons and daughters of Abraham. We've just got our name on a church book; that's all. Sons and daughters of Abraham take God at His Word. No matter what comes or goes, or who says anything else; it's God's Word first in all times.
But then, we find out that there was some things that went with it. God told Abraham, as soon as He made him this promise, He said, "Separate yourself from your kindred."
Now, the trouble with us, when we feeled or hear a promise of God, we go down and consult what this minister's got to say, and what that's got to say, and get amongst unbelievers, and everything--mix it all up together. No wonder we... God calls for separation. Separate yourself from the things of the world. And oh, blessed be the Name of the Lord. Men and women who take God at His promise has to stand alone. God said so.

L-28 Now today, when you choose your pastors... Of course that's the way we did in the Baptist Church, I don't... Others has... The conference sends them. But usually, when we--they choose their pastor, they'd want a man, a little, pretty little fellow, with some real wavy hair, and could say, "Amen," like a calf, and--and turn around with a real nice suit on, and--and just be so dignified, and preach fifteen minutes, and--and then run out and go bathing with them. And have a little game in the bottom of the basement, and little entertainments--the soup suppers, and so forth to pay the pastor. And put up with that, a mixer? The world wants mixers, but God wants separators. That's right. God wants us to separate ourselves from the things of the world. And if we are Abraham's seed, we will separate ourselves from the things of the world.
Now, Abraham started off, he had trouble as long as his daddy was with him. The old fellow died. Then he took his nephew, and as long as Lot was along there was trouble. God said, "Separate yourself." Walk alone with Him.
That's the way God wants you to do: Separate yourself from all unbelief and walk alone with God. God deals not with organizations, not with denominations; He deals with individuals in that organization or denomination. Walk alone.

L-29 And now notice, and with Lot being what we would call, today, a borderline believer, one of these here lukewarm. When Abraham being a real representative of Christianity, he said, "You take your choice of which side of the land you want." A Christian will always give you the benefit of the doubt.
And of course, he pitched his tent towards the big times in Sodom and Gomorrah, and backslid and was... All he had was burnt up later, just like every lukewarm believer will be. All your goods will be tried by fire, and your works, and it'll be burned.
But then, after Lot separated himself from Abraham, Abraham was dwelling in the land, and God appeared to Abraham and told him that the whole land belonged to him. "All of it's yours. Look east, west, north, and south; it's every bit yours. All belongs to you. Walk through it. See what it looks like."

L-30 Oh, that's what's the trouble with the Christian today, you are heir of all things. Well, brother, if I bought a house or somebody give me a house, I'd' go through every room in it. I'd go down in the basement; I'd go out in the garage. I want to know what I own. That's the way it was when I got saved. These are God's promises, so I just went right through, and claimed every one of them. They're mine.
You know, it's just like getting into a great, big arcade. Did you every go into a big arcade? You look around; it all belongs to you. By one spirit, we all baptized into this big arcade. Every promise is yours. Something looks a little high, get you a stepladder and get up to it. Look it over; it all belongs to you. Every promise is yours. Every promise is to the believer: heir of all things, all belongs to you.
