<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Tomorrow, give each of these ministers, Lord, I pray that You'll give them such an anointing tomorrow, till every church will have a revival fire in it. May sinners be saved, and believers filled with the Spirit, and the sick and afflicted healed in the churches. May there be coming from all over the country tomorrow night, testifying of what great things took place in their churches. Grant it, Lord. Give us these victories, Father.
Now, sanctify every believer; hide us behind the Word, Lord. May the Blood atone for our sins. And let the Holy Spirit just come in and take right-of-way in our lives from the very reading of the Word until the close of the service. For we ask it in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen.

L-9 We want to read some out of the holy Writings tonight in two different places that I have selected to read from. And I want to take the subject right after reading of the Word. First we were going to read from Genesis the 24th chapter beginning with the 56th verse and reading down the 60th inclusive. And then we want to begin in Genesis 22 at the 15th verse and read the 18th inclusive. Now, in Genesis 24:56 it reads this.
 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
 And they said, We will call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.
 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
 And they sent... Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them.
And in Genesis 22:15...
 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time.
 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
 That in blessings I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand... on the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemy;
 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

L-10 If I should call it a subject just for a few moments, I'd say this: "Thy Seed Shall Possess The Gate Of His Enemy." God had been trying Abraham to see if he would hold fast his promise with a heart that was--was a unadulterated faith. You know, there's so many people that can grasp the Word just for a minute. It seems real good to them. And then after a few hours something comes along contrary to what the Seed seem to tell them, and finally it'll wither. Some can keep it for a few days. But others seem to catch such a hold of it till they'll never let it loose. Jesus spoke of these in His time, about where the seed fell on stony grounds, and on thorns and thistles, and then some in good ground.

L-11 Now, the last time here I'd taken three afternoons of series on teaching of Abraham, how that God had give him the promise when he was seventy-five years old, and told him that he was to have a child by Sarah his wife, sixty-five at that time. And Abraham believed what God said was the truth. He didn't consider how old he was or how old Sarah was. The seed must have took a real deep rooting in Abraham's soul, for it taken twenty-five years for that seed to ever take life. But Abraham would not discard it because he did not see it growing, and looked like getting contrary all the time to the promise, but Abraham knew that it was God's Word and God would keep His Word. Now, the time had come when Abraham was right at a hundred years old before the seed was ever begin to take life.
