<TITLE>10. Par 41-45</TITLE>L-41 It's already yours. It belongs to you, for you're Abraham's seed, if you've received the Holy Ghost. You're sealed. You're dead, and your life is hid in Christ through God, sealed by the Holy Ghost.
How long? Until the next revival? Until the day of your redemption. Ephesians 4:30, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption."
'Fore a car can be sealed, a box car, just every thing's got to be fit in there good and tight. That's the reason so many don't get the Holy Ghost: too loose. Like the eagle taking its little ones up, she fans all the loose feathers out of it, 'fore she gets him up there, or he'd break his neck. See?
Now, a crow would never fly with an eagle. God likens His prophets to eagles. He's a eagle Himself. A crow could never fly, follow an eagle. Oh, if a hawk would try it, he'd disintegrate in the air. Well, sure. A eagle is a special-made bird, so he has to have special feathers, and special eyes to climb up, way up, way above anything else. That's the way God's people does. God's eaglets, they climb way, and know they're Abraham's seed, believe anything, no matter what the circumstances, they're away from the earth. They're way up high in the atmosphere.

L-42 Oh, lift me up above the shadows, give me fellowship with Thee. That's right. Plant my feet on higher grounds. Take me up, Lord.
Let me stand by faith, on heaven's table land.
A higher plane than I have found;
Lord, lift my feet to higher ground, way up.
Abraham and his seed after him... The covenant was absolutely unconditionally to both Abraham and his seed after him. Now, that's wonderful. Now, did...

L-43 What did Abraham do? Abraham believed God. Now, how's He going to do it, and him a ninety--seventy-five years old? And how's he going to have this baby by his--his wife is now sixty-five years old. And could you imagine, an old couple like that going down to the doctor and saying, "Doctor, I want you to make a room at the hospital; my wife's going to have a baby."
"How old are you, sir?"
"I'm seventy-five."
"How old is she?"
"Sixty-five."
"Poor old fellow." See?

L-44 Well, any man that ever takes God by His Word, they'll say the same thing about you. "For all that lives godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution," Jesus said.
Now, you're misunderstood because these are American, German, Switzerland, but you're from heaven. You've been born from up there; therefore, you believe what God said.
Now, notice this. Could you imagine that old couple, as I repeat again in saying, Abraham said, "Sarah (after the first twenty-eight days, you know), how you feeling, dear?"
"Honey, there's not a bit of difference."

L-45 "Glory to God, we're going to have it anyhow. That's right. Get the little booties ready. And get the birdeye and the pins, and get everything ready. We're going to have it."
"How do you know?"
"Abra... Abraham, what do you mean by that?"
"God said so. That's enough. That's--that's all I need to know. God said so."
Well, a year passed. "Honey, anything different?"
"Not a bit."
"Glory to God, it's a bigger a miracle now. It's a year later."
After while, twenty-five years lapsed. The Bible said he got stronger and stronger. And we say we're Abraham's seed: we're prayed for, the next day, "How you feeling?"
"I don't... I guess I didn't get it. Don't feel any better." Abraham's seed. Oh, my. See what I mean? Abraham's seed is scarce.
