<TITLE>07. Par 25-29</TITLE>L-25 Abraham, like God, called those things which were not as though they were. Anything contrary to God's promise was a lie to Abraham, anything contrary. So then when Abraham started out, when God called him...
Now watch. The first thing God did to Abraham, was called a absolute separation. Exactly. You've got to separate yourself from all unbelief. Get away from it. That's it. You've got to get away from unbelief.
God called Abraham to separate himself from his kindred, from everything that he had, that he might walk with Him. Give him a strange land. That's the way every sinner when he gets saved, he comes into a strange land, among strange people. God calls for a separation.

L-26 And He said... Abraham He was going to give him this baby. Now, Sarah was sixty-five, and Abraham was seventy-five. I want you to notice how He speaks to him to start with. Now, we say we're Abraham's seed. Now, Sarah, sixty-five... Forty, fifty, sixty, that's twenty-five years past menopause, lived with her since she's... She was his half sister. Probably married her when she was eighteen years old. And here she is, sixty-five years old, and Abraham seventy-five years old, and God told Abraham that He was going to give him a child by Sarah. "Now, separate yourself from all the unbelief, and I will bring it to pass."
And if you notice, He never brought it to pass till Abraham completely did what God bid him to do. Abraham wandered, and done everything else, but God never did bless him till he absolutely separated himself from all that He told him to do.

L-27 And God will never bless you and bring it to pass until you're ready to separate yourself from everything contrary to God's Word, just separate yourself from it. I don't care what the doctor says, what the psychiatrist says, what anything else says. God said so, and that makes it right.
I can hear God give him the commission today, "Well, uh, I'm..." We got a mixed audience, multitudes here in a audience. Listening to me now. You listen to your doctor. About every twenty-eight days, you know what I'm speaking of. I see Abraham get up the next morning after he told Sarah and said, "Sarah, dear."
"Yes, honey."
"Is there any difference?"
"Nope. No difference."
"Well, glory to God. We're going to have it anyhow. Go down to the store and buy you some booties, and buy some birdeye, and some--some pins, and get ready, 'cause we're going to have a baby."
"Well, honey, I'm sixty-five."
"That makes no difference. God said so. That settles it."

L-28 That's Abraham. Seed believes the same thing. If God said so, that settles it. That's all there is to it: God said so. That's the first thing. You can see nothing else but God's Word, God's promise. It's already happened, because God said so. It's a finished work when God said so.
Why is it I depend on those visions like in Africa? See those blind, deaf, and see it before it happens, and stand out and challenge to over five hundred thousand in Bombay. Why? God said so. Got to happen. God said so; that settles it. If it's always God, it's always right.

L-29 So don't try to use your own intellectuals, use your heart. Now remember, you don't never try to reason; we cast down reasoning. In the garden of Eden, the devil took a man's head to work through; God took a man's heart. And the man's always working to what he can see, and faith makes him believe things he cannot see. But he believes it because God said so. That settles it. That's just the--the story of faith.
