<TITLE>07. Par 48-54</TITLE>L-48 That's what I'm trying to say to you when we set--stand here in a healing service. Stand here and you say, "I'm sick." And you... That's no doubt; you are sick. But God keeps His promise. Then He'll come down. Now, see, He made an atonement here that He--that He would heal you. That's what He's done. Now, the only thing He asks you to do is believe that, hold to it just like Abraham did.
"Well, the doctor says that I--I'll live one more day."
I don't care. That's fine; that's all man knows; that's the best that he knows. How was Abraham going to receive this child after already laying him up here, and the Word of God told him, "Go, kill the boy." How's he going to do it? That's not the question. God said do it and that settles it. "How am I going to get well and the doctor says that I can't get well?" I... That's not my--me to question; it's take God's Word. And as soon as that's revealed to you that you're going to be well, then you--you just remember you're going to be well. There isn't nothing can keep you from it. That's right. See?

L-51 So when Abraham fully in obedience... How's He going to do it? The last moment, last five minutes come, the last three minutes, last two minutes, last one minute, last thirty seconds, last second come, when the hand was already up to take the boy's life, God said, "Stop it right there. Stop it right there. See? I see that you really trust Me. Now, I just done this, Abraham, to show the Branham Tabernacle in days to come (See?), of what's going--that they must trust Me. They mustn't doubt Me at all. Trust Me."
And just about that time, he... Here was a sacrifice; he never made it in vain. No, he never did it in vain, for just then a--a lamb bleated, a little ram had been hooked in the wilderness there by the horns. And how many times we've went through that. How did that ram get there? How, through all them wild animals? A hundred miles from civilization, amongst lions, jackals, wolves, every kind of a wild animal back in there, way up on top of the mountain where there's no water nor grass, what was it doing there? God created it, just placed it there.

L-53 And to see Him in our days that we're living in... Now, this morning I'm going to have to do a whole lot of--of personal things to say it, to get what I want to say. That's why I'm backing this the way I am, 'fore I start in on this. I want you to understand that these things that sounds personal, they are not meant personal. They're only brought in to give an example to you that your faith might rest solemnly in the faith that's in Christ, you might rest upon His promise. 'Cause God keeps His promise just as perfect as it can be, now showing to us.

L-54 And look at that same Jehovah-jireh, which Abraham called Him, which in the Hebrew means "God will provide for Himself a sacrifice."... God can do that. He made His way. If He said... He told Noah...
You said, "Well, that was just Abraham." No. He told all down through the age, and He's still telling.
He said to Noah back there, as we're getting into this morning, "It's going to rain." Why, there wasn't--never was a cloud in the sky. The biggest stream of water was a branch where God irrigated the land, a little spring somewhere. That was the biggest stream of water there was.
Now, people say, "How in the world is there going to come any water down from up there? Show me where it's at up there in all that hot sun (See?), if be any up there."
"If God said build an ark, that it's coming, it's my business to build the ark and get ready, 'cause it's coming. He's Jehovah-jireh; He can provide water up there."
