<TITLE>04. Par 15-18</TITLE>L-15 And the old mother kept cooing to him. And I thought, "That's right. See, there's no condemnation to him. Why, he had his hand in the molasses bucket plumb up to his elbow."
That's about the way we did last night. We wasn't pay any attention to what anybody else was saying; we just had our hand in the molasses bucket, just molasses all over.
And the strange thing was, when that little fellow got over to his mother and his little brother, well, they begin to lick him, 'cause licking some of the molasses off.
I hope you got enough on you last night, till they've licked all day long on the testimonies that we had last night.
Oh, there's great things if we'll just watch God in nature, how He works. So amazing. Climb to the top of the mountains, and set there, and take time off, and just--just worship the Lord. It--it's really good.

L-16 Now, the Lord willing, Sunday afternoon, I--I promised to try to tell my Life Story, Sunday afternoon. It'll be the first time for years and years. And Saturday morning, is the businessman's breakfast at the--at the Clifton's cafeteria. If you can't come... It's always packed out in there. If you can't come, tune in on the radio, 'cause they really have a great time.
And then Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, back here again. And of course, if you're strangers and going to be in this city, why, come around the Temple if you haven't got anyplace to go. We'd be glad to have you here for the Sunday school services. I'm sure you'd have your soul fed.

L-17 Now, we are going to open the Word of God. And I wish to read just one verse, found where we was reading this... Last night, we finished up on the 20th verse of the 4th chapter of Romans, of reading. Tonight, I want to read the 21st verse. And then last evening, we started at the 11th chapter of Genesis and come over to the 16th chapter of Genesis, and just hitting the high places of the life of Abraham. Now, we read here:
 And being fully persuaded that... he was able to keep that which he had promised.
If God has made a promise, God will keep that promise. "Being fully persuaded that that what He promised, He was able to perform." God keeps His promise. And Abraham was fully persuaded. No matter how ridiculous it looked to the carnal mind or anyone else, it looked all right to Abraham, because Abraham never looked at so much at what the promise was, or how ridiculous it was, he looked at Who gave the promise. It depends on what you're looking at.

L-18 And now, we'll background just a little bit to get to the spot where we wish to tonight. And then tomorrow night, we aim to climax this studying of Abraham, the Lord willing.
Now, I'm a long ways from being a theologian or a teacher. But what I know about Him, I like to tell others, because it means so much to me. And I hope that'll mean as much to you to hear it as it does to me to speak it. And then we'll all be blessed.
Now, we found out last night, that Abraham was just an ordinary man. He was a man that God looked at and seen his heart. Now, that's the way God looks upon man; He looks upon the heart of man. Man looks at the outward appearance; God looks on the heart. So no matter how poor you are, how unqualified you seem to be, how uneducated you are, how literate you are, that has nothing to do with it. God looks at your heart. Always remember that. It's in the heart God deals with.
