<TITLE>11. Par 39-43</TITLE>L-39 But Abraham, giving Lot the choice. Now, of course, Lot, being a man of the world, he looked around for the best. So he looked around to see where--the meeting that would pay off the best. So he looked around to find out where it would be the greatest for him. So he begin to look towards Sodom. Now, he saw Sodom, the fine watered fields of--of the river, as she watered the plains there, and grass, and plenty of grass for the cows, and this was all barren up here.
That's the way people make their choice today. They say, "Well, if I want to be religious, I'll... Here's a church that's already established. It's a great church; it's a big church, got plenty of money; it's fine people." Be careful. By faith, we choose (See?), by faith.

L-40 Now, Lot saw Sodom in all of it's goodness. But he didn't see his children burning up down there. He never saw his wife standing out there in the plains as a pillar of salt. He didn't see those things. He thought maybe a few extra dollars that he could make. But he never seen those other things.
That's what we got to look by faith and see. Like Moses, looking out the same window that Pharaoh did, upon the same people. Pharaoh called them mud-daubers. That's all they was, just a bunch of slaves. But by faith, Moses saw them to be the promised people.

L-41 When I left the Baptist church to come over to be with the full gospel, well I--I... It's quite a--quite a thing. But I thought this: "They've got something. They've got the Spirit." Now, I'm not degrading the Baptist church. No, sir. They're my brothers. See? But I seen something great. I seen the possibilities of a united church, like we are here this afternoon. Oh, my. The different phases of them all come together as one. That's when God's going to move. That's what's holding back the millennium. Oh, that's what's holding back the Spirit of God from taking this great church, is because it's not--it's been separated, but when we come together... "When the people that's called by My Name shall assemble themselves together..."

L-42 So then, Lot went on down. We understand that he got in trouble. And then, as soon as Lot went away, and God got Abraham... When Abraham had fulfilled everything that he promised God--or God promised him that He would do him, after... Then, God came to him. Now, when you separate all yourself from all the tags that God don't want you to have, then God will come to you.
Now, said, "Rise up, Abraham. Look east, north, west, and south. It's all yours. I give it all to you." The meek shall inherit the earth, we know that. "Notice. Look everywhere, it's all yours. Get up. Don't just set there, get up and walk through the land, see how you like it."
That's the trouble with people today who call themselves Christians. Somebody say, "You know, if I owned anything, I'd want to see what I got. I'm nosy. If somebody'd give me a house, I'd look at every inch of it. I want to see what it looks like, climb up."

L-43 That's the way it is when I become a Christian. I want to see what I'm heir to. Amen. Oh, my. Find a whole storehouse full of promises. Add a... It just ain't go put your name on the church book and do the best you can. You're an heir. Hallelujah. Look through the storehouse, what's a great big arcade. You was baptized into it. It's yours. You're heired it. I'd go around and look at this counter, and see what I got here, and go over here, see what I got over here. Anything that looks a little bit too high, I get a stepladder and climb up to it. If I see anything that looks a little out of my reach, like Divine healing or something, I will get on Jacob's ladder and just keep, climb till I get up where it's at. I want to see what it's all about.
