<TITLE>13. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 But she was wanting a baby, and her husband was old; and she was past the age of bearing. And Zacharias' order at the temple was to burn incense while the people were praying. And while he was burning the incense, on the right side of the altar came the Angel, Gabriel. Did you notice, in the Scriptures in Luke there, it says, "On the right side of him," the right side of the altar.
You ever notice one my healing services, I bring the people from my right, because the Angel of the Lord always comes on my right side. I want Him to meet the people, so they'll have the anointing when they come up here that He can tell them and bless them.
Right side of the altar stood the Angel of the Lord. And He said, "Zacharias, God has answered your prayers."
See what kind of a home a Angel comes to: a home that keeps the commandments of God, a home of people that walks upright before God. If you want the honor of an Angel visiting your home, have a home ready for Him to visit, prepared and ready under the blood of the Lamb. The Angels of the Lord come to such places.

L-41 Notice, you can't walk with the world and expect God to walk with you. Angels won't visit you or nothing else, but the world, because you cannot mix God and the world together. They will not mix. God's holy, separated from the world. And the only way He will ever see you is when He looks through the Blood. As I said the other morning, red through red looks white. He can't look through a creed; He can't look through a denomination; He can't look through a handshake or a water. He has to look through the Blood. And when He looks through the Blood, your red sins looks white to Him. The Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses from all sin. That's...
 Oh! precious is the flow
 That makes me white as snow;
 No other fount I know,
 Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
As Eddie Perronet wrote:
 All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
 Let angels prostrate fall;
 Bring forth the royal diadem,
 And crown Him Lord of all;
'Cause He was the only One, the only Potentate, the only Mediator between God and man; there's nothing else will take the place. His Blood is the only thing will make atonement, God's only Way; He's the only Mediator, the only--only one is through Jesus Christ.

L-42 Now, I'm on Zacharias, under the shed blood of the lamb, standing there...
And He said, "After this day here, I'm Gabriel, stands in the Presence of God." And He said, "You're going home. And your wife will conceive, bear a son; you'll call his name John. He will be great, and he will turn the hearts of the children of Israel back to the commandments of God."
And then, when Zacharias, think of it now, a preacher, a priest in the temple, read the Scriptures, plenty examples that such as that had happened before. There was Hannah was a woman that couldn't have a child and God gave her a child. There was Sarah, at ninety years old; God gave her a child. That had happened before. But he questioned it.
He said, "How could this be? My wife's old, and I'm old, and how could it be?"
The Angel spoke quickly and said, "My words will be fulfilled in their day. But because that you've doubted Me, doubted My word, you'll be dumb till the day the baby's born. But My words will be fulfilled." Hallelujah!

L-43 God keeps His Word; it's unchangeable. If this Pentecostal church refuses to praise God, God could raise up Methodists, Baptists, or something else to praise Him. If the Pentecostal church turns the Message of God down, God can take Catholic, atheists, infidels, or anything else, and raise them up for a Name to Himself. And God's Word will be fulfilled.
There'll be times when the Spirit will be poured from on high. "There'll be... Young man shall see visions; old man shall dream dreams. There'll upon My handsmaids and maidservants will I pour out of My spirit, showing signs in the heaven above. And all these things that's been spoke of will come to pass." God said so. Amen.
