<TITLE>11. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 You know what your three score and ten means to God? According to the time... He has no time; He's in eternity, but the thousand years, I think, amounts to about to three or four minutes of God's time. You're--put up with you your whole lifetime for nearly a hundred years.
So Abraham was nothing but just a little baby. And God said, "Get up here, Abraham. You're old. You're a hundred years old, whiskers was hanging way down like this, and that gray hair, and it--it... You're just an awful old man to the world, but to Me you're just a baby. You're just a baby, Abraham. Climb up here on My lap. Set down here and--and go and nurse your strength back again." Oh...

L-37 And everything that He gave Abraham, by promise, He gave to Abraham and (and's a conjunction)--and his seed after him. Amen. Aren't you glad you're Abraham's seed? Oh, I'm so glad. Oh, I feel like singing that song,
 Every promise in the Book is mine.
 Every chapter, every verse, every line.
 I'm trusting in His love Divine,
 For every promise in the Book is mine.
It's yours. Eve... "Whosoever will, let him come and drink from the fountains of the waters of Life freely." It's for whosoever will can come. So God done this for Abraham, and Abraham being a hundred years old, and Sarah ninety years old. Little grandma now, likely a little shawl over her shoulder, and little dust cap on, on a little stick, was going around like this.

L-38 Well, about a few days after that, he was setting out in the hot sun one morning. And oh, it must've been a terrible time. We're about the 18th chapter now, or the 19th. He was setting out in the hot sun. The herdsman come up and said, "Oh, my, they're carrying on..." The water's all gone, and everything looked like it was going wrong. Watch out when that happens. To a Christian, when that happens is a blessing laying just beyond there, and Satan's trying to his best to keep it away from you. I've seen that in my life.
When I go to pray, I'll get out in the woods, the green briars... You don't have them here, do you? But we have plenty of them back in the east, and they scratch you, and you get over here in the sun shines down through the trees on you. You get over here on--on the hillside, and you're praying like this, and over here there's too many rocks, and mosquitoes is biting, and oh, everything. Now, when you get to that kind of a place, just throw up your arms and say, "Hallelujah, God, You're a calling me, and I'm answering to You." Something going to happen. That's right. 'Cause there's a blessing laying there, and Satan's trying to fight you. He's an old mean, split foot anyhow, you know. He--he's trying his best to keep you away from that blessing. Just stay there till you've prayed through. I don't know care; let the mosquitoes bite. Whatever takes place, just stay with it, 'cause Satan will rob you from that if he possibly can.

L-39 So here was Abraham. I see him after God appeared to him as El Shaddai, goes back and said, "Sarah, do you know what? I am just a little baby." She said, "Honest Abraham, are you?"
"Yes."
"He told me just to lean on His bosom and nurse my strength back." That's right, he was ninety-nine years old.
Well, he's setting out there one morning, and the first thing you know, they looked at these three Men coming up. When Abraham, setting under this oak, in the--in his tent door looked out.
And you know, there's just something about a Christian you can tell. There's just something you know a Christian. He's ever received the Holy Spirit, talk to him, in a second you'll know that's something's happened to him. He's passed over into Canaan's land. So you notice him. He's marked.
And there they was setting out there, and these three Men come dust all over Their clothes, and said, "We are Strangers. We've come from another land, yes, far away." Glory.
