<TITLE>09. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 But Abraham was already out. The word "church" means "called out," the called out group. In other words, God calls for separation. The world today calls for mixers. Many of the people choosing your pastor, you want to get someone who will mix, who will go down and go bathing on the beach, or take a little friendly drink with you, or--or tell a little smutty joke or something. That's too much in the Protestant realms today. But the people wants a mixer, but God calls for separators. Separate yourself from it. Yoke not up with unbelief. That's God's way of doing it. The world has a different conception.

L-27 Now, as we look farther into the Word we find that the church called out, the elect, there was an Angel Who spoke to them and give them a sign. And there was a strange Man dwelling in flesh, that Abraham later called Elohim, God Almighty. And so he noticed that this Man was setting, had His back turned to the tent. And just the--the chapter before this, God had met Abraham and give him a name from Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah, and princess. And He addressed them both by their priestly, or God given name. Elohim. H-e-m, taking part of His name, Abraham. From Abram, ham, part of God's name, because he was to be also a father by seed to many nations, the father of nations.
Now, you--you notice what taken place there. Now, the Angel with His back turned to the tent, He said, "Where is Sarah, thy wife?" How did He know her name was Sarah? How did He know he was married? And how did He know all these things?
Said, "She's in the tent behind you."
And He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life." And Sarah laughed within herself. When she did, the Angel said, "Why did she laugh saying in her heart, that, 'I'll not be able to do this, and I'm too old,' and so forth." How did He know that?

L-28 Now, Jesus plainly... Now, listen close. Don't miss it. And be just as reverent as you can. Notice. That promise was made just to reoccur again at the coming of the Lord. See it? Now, Jesus being misunderstood, what did the--they say when they seen Him doing His signs of the Messiah? They said, "He's Beelzebub." Well now, we know that Beelzebub was a devil. He was the chief of the devils. And otherwise, they called Jesus in perceiving their thoughts in their hearts, a--a fortuneteller, or a mind reader, or something like that; which we know that that is of the devil, certainly. And it's--it's a perverted, something that's been real, been perverted.
The devil cannot create. The devil only perverts what God's created. There's only one Creator; that's God. What is a lie, is a truth misrepresented. What is a--a bad woman? Is a good woman that's been perverted. See? Anything that's perverted is of the devil. Anything in its original condition is of God. See? God is the only Creator. And the devil cannot create; he has to pervert what God has created. Keep that in your mind.
Now, they called the Spirit of God, that was doing these great signs to prove that He was Messiah, they called that a evil spirit. And Jesus said, that, "I will forgive you for this; but when the Holy Spirit comes (to do the same thing), one word against It will never be forgiven in this world, neither in the world that is to come." Watch how it stands.
