<TITLE>11. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 If God makes a statement, it's got to be that. Then when you take your stand that that is true, something has to take place. It's just... It's got to. And men in all ages when they have heard the Voice of God speaking to them, they have--they have seen the supernatural, and they have expected and lived their life expecting this to happen and never did it ever fail.
Abraham expected that baby to come. Even down till twenty-five years after it was promised to him, he was still expecting it, just the same when he was a hundred years old, as he did when the promise was made at seventy-five. And the Bible said that he never got weak, but he got stronger all the time, believing that God would do it.
Could you imagine an old man, now seventy-five years old and a woman of sixty-five... She was barren and he was sterile. And here they went out now was going to go down to a doctor at the hospital to make arrangements for a bed. They're going to have a baby. Yep. A sixty-five year old woman and a seventy-five year old man, what would the doctor say? "The poor old couple, little off at their head..."
Well now, anybody that really takes God's Word at face value is considered a little off at the head. Because, the... It's so supernatural, the natural world doesn't know nothing about it. Here... It's foolish to the carnal mind. So you'll never understand it.

L-33 But Abraham believed it. He said, "It's true," and he believed it was. I can hear him as he would say to Sarah, "Now, we're going to have this baby, honey. It's settled because God said so."
She bought up the birdeye, and the pins, and got everything ready and made the booties, was all ready. And after the first so many days, twenty-eight days, "How are you feeling dear?"
"No different, honey."
"Praise God, we're going to have it anyhow."
First month passed, no different; second month, first year, second year. "How are you feeling, darling?"
"No different."
"Glory to God, it's going to be a bigger miracle than it was two years ago; it's two years older now."
And when twenty-five years had passed, he still had the same attitude, just the same because God said so. How do you know? God said so; that settles it. If God said so, there's no more to be said about it. See? He said so. And at a hundred years old he still believed God, that God would do it.

L-34 The Bible said in Hebrews 4, that, "Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong giving praise to God." And we are suppose to be Abraham's seed. "For we who are dead in Christ are Abraham's seed." Is that right? The Holy Spirit makes us Abraham's seed.
Abraham was not a Jew. Abraham was a Gentile. But it wasn't Jew nor Gentile; it was his faith in God's Word was what made him--him to be--to be an heir of the promise. And we being dead in Christ are Abraham's seed and are heirs with Him, according to the promise. I tell you; that's true; we are, but sometimes we don't act like it.
Sometimes we go and say, "Well, I'll go and be prayed for. I'll see what happens. Well, I don't feel a bit different." Abraham's seed? Oh, my. That's a poor excuse for a... even for a church member, let alone being Abraham's seed. Abraham's seed don't look at no circumstances; it looks at the Word of God. That's all.
