<TITLE>07. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 Did you notice His Name was A-b-r-h-a-m, Abram, A-b-r-a-m, Abram. Then when He changed His Name, He give him a name of A-b-r--A-b-r-a-h-a-m, Abraham, taking in His own Name, Elohim (See?), making him a father. He's Elohim, and He changed and put part of His Name on Abraham, because he, through the promise was to come through his seed, father of nations: Abraham. Changed His Name, put part of His Name onto his, now, making him a father of nations...
Now, notice: to Abraham and to his seed after him, now, not to his seeds, but seed after him. Abraham had many sons. But the promised one was through Isaac, and through Isaac came Christ, the royal Seed, the real Seed of Abraham.

L-22 Now, notice. You say, "Well, Brother Branham, then what are we?" If we are in Christ (in Galatians 3), if we are in Christ then we are Abraham's seed, and are heirs with him by the promise. How do you become in Christ? If you are dead to yourself, borned in Christ, you're Abraham's seeds and heir of the promise with Abraham. Then if you are Abraham's seed, you can only be as you have the faith that Abraham had. (Oh, now we're--we're getting ready for a real healing service. See?) When we can think of our--our promise, God can...
Say, "Was you prayed for last night?"
"Yes, I was at the meeting; someone laid their hands on me."
"Are you well?"
"No, I missed my healing." You're not Abraham's seed. Abraham believed it. The Bible said he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God.

L-23 When Abraham was told he was going to have this baby by Sarah... The first... I imagine the first few days, or the first thirty days, he said, "How you feeling, dear?"
"No different."
"Going to have it anyhow."
They got ready, made preparations for it. And as the days gone by, went on, on, and on, and on, and on, Abraham, "How you feeling dear?"
"No different."
"We're going to have it anyhow."
The more impossibility it seemed to be, Abraham praised God, 'cause it was going to be a greater miracle than it was if it happened back when she was sixty. Amen. And then we say, "Yeah, I'm Abraham's seed, but I missed my healing." Abraham called anything contrary to God's Word a lie. He refused to look at anything but what God had said; that was the truth. No matter what the world said about him, what anybody else said, he knowed what God said, and he held onto what God said. And then we say we're Abraham's seed. Oh, mercy.

L-24 "I went through Brother Roberts' prayer line. I'll go through Brother Allen's when he comes. Then when Brother Branham comes, and the rest of them, I'll go through the line, see if I get my healing." Abraham's seed? Mercy. No wonder He said He'd spue it from his mouth. It made Him sick at his stomach. Yes. Oh, my!
Abraham's seed takes God's promise; anything contrary to it's a lie, walks right on. Now, we see whether we're Abraham's seed or not. I could tear the thing apart with that if I just wanted to right now. Yes, sir. How did Sarah obey, herself, as Abraham's wife?
Now, but Abraham's seed believes--believes the promise. When God says anything, that settles it forever.
