<TITLE>05. Par 16-20</TITLE>L-16 Then, when Sarah heard this, behind the Angel setting in the tent, she laughed within herself. And the Angel, looking at Abraham, with His back to the tent, said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Don't you see God, that same Holy Spirit was on that One has come into the midst of the church in the last days? "Why did Sarah laugh?"
Sarah was scared, and she said, "I didn't."
He said, "Oh, yes, you did." For she was afraid.

L-17 Do you see what Jesus said? There will be signs in these last days, and, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Now, seed of Abraham, wake up. Take a hold. Watch God keep every Word. Though that's been two thousand years ago, God's fulfilled His promise, what Jesus said would take place. There's a modern Sodom; there's evangelists throughout the country. There's the church formal. There's the church spiritual. Watch where those gifts are working and what groups their working in. God keeps His Word.

L-18 When the little fellow was born, God gave Abraham a double trial to prove that Abraham's seed is faithful. Told him to offer his son up. And you know the story. When he went to kill him there was a ram bleated in the wilderness behind him, and he offered the ram. And it was a ram; it wasn't a vision. Blood run out of it, and blood don't run from a vision. He killed the ram, for the ram spoke of Christ's coming.

L-19 Then when God seen that He had a man that He could put confidence in, He said, "I've swore by Myself." For a man always takes an oath to someone greater than he. And no one was greater than God. So He swore by Himself that the seed of Abraham would possess the gate of the enemy. Oh, my. He swore it. God, by Himself, swore that Abraham's seed would possess the gate of the enemy.
Watch how He proved it. Rebekah, going to be a part of Isaac, which is part of the seed also by the woman... And when her father and her brothers and her mother and her loved ones, kindred, believing in God, when they--she made--was put to a trial... And when it come to the trial, "Will you go with this stranger, or will you stay with us?" her decision was quickly made, clear cut. That's the way God's people makes it: fast and quick.
"I will go." she said. Not knowing where she was going, but by faith she went, for there was something within her begin to move, and she knew that God was in it. And when they set her up on the camel, they blessed her and said, "Let thy seed be thousands of millions": thousands of millions. God told Abraham, "Like the stars of the heaven, or the sand by the sea shore." That's bringing in the Gentiles. That's the way the seed of Abraham would be. And they also said, "Let thy seed possess the gate of its enemy." God promising through her, through Abraham, that the seed would possess the gate, and it will. As long as there is a remaining seed of Abraham, it'll possess the gate with the promise of God like Abraham did. It'll do that.

L-20 When Israel was on its march and come to the land of Moab, there was a gate, and they said, "We will not let you pass through." And they brought out their prophet to curse the people. Instead of cursing, he blessed. They tried to show him all the bad things that this people had done. But God showed him the good things about it. For He seen that smitten rock and that brass serpent going before, making atonement for them. And instead of cursing, he blessed the seed and they possessed the land because they were on their road keeping a promise of Jehovah. Nothing could stop them, for they were Abraham's seed with a promise that they'd possess the gate of every enemy. And they took it.
