<TITLE>10. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 And Mary took Him at His Word. She said, "That's sufficient for me." And she went around telling everybody she was going to have this baby before she had one sign of it at all, one sign of anything. She still--she knew that it was going to happen because God said so. Don't you see the true seed of Abraham? God speaks; they believe it.
That's the reason I like the church today that can take God's Word. When God says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever," the Church says, "Amen." If Jesus said, "The works that I do, shall you do also." The Church says, "Amen." Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name they shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; take up serpents; drink deadly things; lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." The Church says, "Amen." They don't worry about it, wonder how it's going to happen; they just take Him at His Word and move on. That's the true seed of Abraham. That's the children of God.

L-32 Mary had to believe for the impossibles. But God takes the impossibles and makes them real when His--He's took at His Word. The doctor might've said, "You'll never get rid of that cancer." The doctor might've said, "You'll never be able to walk again. Well, it--well, it's impossible for you to do it." But impossibles fade out when God's took at His Word. No matter what the doctor says, he's doing the best he can. But God is God. Amen. And His Word is just like He is. And you take His Word; that settles it forever. "If thou canst believe, say to this mountain be moved, and don't doubt in your heart, but will believe that what you've said will come to pass, you can have what you've said." God took at His Word...

L-33 Oh, she started right away giving praise to God and telling the people that she was going to have a baby, knowing no man. Now, remember, she had throwed herself in liability of--or liable for criticism. But Mary didn't stop to think about criticism; she didn't care about criticism.
When a man comes to get the Holy Ghost, you don't care what the neighbors is going to say; you don't care if you shout, you speak with tongues, or whatever you do, it's a past that; you took God at His Word; you don't care for criticism. You've lost all your devil made, homemade, intellectual society called prestige. The thing that you want is favor with God. You don't care what the Holy Spirit causes you to do: to shout, scream, or cry, or bawl, or anything you want to do. Anything the Holy Spirit puts on you, you do it because you don't care. You've lost all that man-made stuff. You're free in Christ Jesus. The Spirit of God has set you free. And you're free in the power of God, bathing in His beauty, worshipping Him in the Spirit and truth. You're a free person. You've took the Word of God; it took a hold in your heart. You don't care; you're throwing yourself...
You say, "Well, if I--I be standing on my job someday and the boss said, 'Say, I heard you was over there at that holy-roller meeting and got healed.' I'm afraid." No, you're not. Brother, if you're the seed of Abraham, you count it a joy to stand and testify of the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Certainly, you do. "My people shall not be ashamed. If you're ashamed of Me before men, I'll be ashamed of you before My Father and the holy Angels," said the Lord Jesus. So they're not ashamed; they're not afraid.
