<TITLE>05. Par 15-16</TITLE>L-15 Let's just call on a few tonight, that we know has met God. Let's take father Abraham. He was just an ordinary man. He came down from--perhaps his father, up around Babylon... And he was old, about seventy-five years old, nothing so good about him. But God, by election, saw something in him, and God appeared to him, and he was a changed man.
There's something about it: When God appears to a man, he's a changed creature from then on. And sometimes He causes you to do things that you did not think that you would do when you meet God.
Could you imagine an old man of seventy-five years old, Abraham, and his wife sixty-five years old, had been living together since... She was his half sister. They had been living together since they were young and youthful. And now, here they are, sixty-five years old, she is, about twenty years past menopause, and Abraham, seventy-five years old; and God met Abraham and told him he was going to have a baby by her. And they made arrangements for this baby.

L-16 Could you imagine a man seventy-five years old going down to the hospital, and see the doctor, and making arrangements for he and his wife of sixty-five years to have a baby, coming into the hospital? The people would say, the doctor'd say, "The old man's kindy off at his head." But he had met God; that's what made the difference. Sometimes when you meet God, He makes you believe things that the natural mind can't conceive. There's something about Him; when you meet Him, it changes you and makes you a different person. You look through different eyes from that time on.
Could you imagine, an old mother of sixty-five years old, setting back, knitting little booties, getting ready for the baby? Why, the women would have said, "The old lady has lost her mind," But she believed God, and they had the baby twenty-five years later. And she was still waiting for it. Instead of getting weaker...
Now, we call ourself "Abraham's seed." And Abraham believed God when he met Him and He talked to him. And if we are in Christ, we're Abraham's seed and heirs with him, according to the promise. By faith Abraham believed God, and called those things which was not, as though they were, because he met God. Any person that ever meets Him, and knows Him, and takes on the seed of Abraham, will call anything contrary to God's Word, as though it's a lie. He will take God's Word first.
