<TITLE>16. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 He said, "Watch the fig tree when it puts forth its buds." Said, "Consider it." And how that the fig tree puts forth its buds; "When you see it, the fig tree and all the other trees putting forth its buds, you know that summer's nigh." Now looky here. The Jewish nation's having a revival. The Catholic church is having a revival. The Baptist under Billy Graham, the Methodist under Jack Shuler, the Pentecostal under Oral Roberts. All the trees are putting forth their buds. The time is at hand. No certain person we can say in Israel, because God deals with Israel as a nation. The Gentile worlds is individuals.

L-70 Let's pray now. Seek God. The thing that God said would take place, and He give the example to Abraham, your father. And we... If we're not Abraham's seed, you're lost, 'cause the promise was made to Abraham and his seed. The promise was given absolutely without condition. Now, wake up, and let us pray.
Now, you in radio-land, you the seed of Abraham out there, you that's sick and needy, you there at the barroom, pool room, wherever you may be, riding in the automobile, find you a little place now just for a minute. Let's pray. If you're setting at the table, eating, and the message is coming into the--to the room, just bow your head a few minutes. Lay your hand on the table and say, "God, be merciful to me. I don't want to be lost. Something's speaking to my heart right now." I say, "And Lord, let it be me." And if you're in the restaurant, then make God the promise now while we pray, and then slip out somewhere, get out of the pool room, wherever you're at; pull your car off the side of the road somewhere and park it safely, then get down on your knees. Slip over home right quick, get down in the bedroom, say, "Lord, I want to talk it over with You." Oh, it's later than we think. Let's be ready.

L-71 And you here at the church, you Christians, oh, you Abraham's seed, you stars of the morning, you who come from the dust of the ruts of sin, that God's made you shining stars to shine by the side of the Bright and Morning Star, shake yourself, rise up, get the dust off of you. Let's believe and know that God is here while we pray.
Eternal God, that brought again Jesus from the dead, and has presented Him to us as a Sacrifice sufficient to take away all sin... We pray, Lord, for those out there in radio-land who are bowing at this time, and ask that Your mercy, O God, will save them, that let them know that that little strange feeling that they have in their heart, it's You talking to them, for You said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first. And all that will come to Me, I'll give them Eternal Life and will raise them up at the last day." You promised that.
Oh, the great Seed of Abraham, through Who we are blessed, the Lord Jesus Christ, grant tonight, Lord, that if there be any there, which I believe there is, may they make that great surrender to Thee just now. As we have been reading of Thy Word and seeing Your promise, and hearing the Words of the Lord Jesus say, "As it was in the days of Sodom," God manifesting Himself through mankind, showing signs of supernatural move... And then years later, the great Moses promised that when that One'd come, that He'd be a God-prophet; and when the Israelites, the true in heart, saw Him, they knowed He was the Messiah.

L-72 When the woman at the well was told of her sins, she said, "You must be a prophet. We know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things."
And Jesus said, "I am He that speaks to you."
Then she could run into the city and say, "Come, see a Man who told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the sign of the Messiah?" And You promised that same thing would visit the Gentiles just before the world would be destroyed by fire like Sodom was. And here are the seeds of Abraham seeing that same thing happen.
