<TITLE>11. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Abraham's seed... Now, let's not profess something 'less we really possess it. You see? Abraham's seed...
When Abraham's seed takes a hold of a promise of God, it's there to stay, no matter what happens. There's nothing will never move them. And if it lingers, they get stronger. And he kept giving God more praise all the time. After twenty-five years, now he's a hundred years old, and she's ninety.
"How you feeling, dear?"
"No different."
"But glory to God, we'll have it anyhow. Just keep the dust off the booties and things--and things, it's coming."
"How do you know?"
"God said so. That settles it. God told me so. That's all of it."

L-47 Now, that's the way Abraham's seed is. If you're heirs of Abraham, you have that kind of faith. Are you Abraham's seed? Let's say, "Amen." Sure, we are Abraham's seed. Certainly we are. God help our unbelief. That's right.
Now, everything ready, making ready for it. Now, that was in the 12th chapter of Genesis. Now, in the 15th chapter of Genesis God confirmed this covenant with him.
Now, it's about many years later. So one day God was talking to Abraham, and He said, "Abraham, I'm going to confirm this. I'm going--I'm going to give you a sign." God always gives signs. "These signs shall follow them that believe; they shall shake hands with the pastor, and put their name on the book." That might be in the almanac, but not in the Bible. See? That's right. Yeah.

L-48 "These signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; if they should take up a serpent, or drink a deadly thing, it would not harm them; if they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." These signs shall follow believers. That's...
Hands laid on that believer, that believer says, "Amen. I'm Abraham's seed. I believe it." Then he works all right, comes to pass.
Now, these signs... Abraham said to God, "How will I know this?"
He said, "Abraham, go, get Me a she goat, and a heifer, and a ram, make a sacrifice." And Abraham cut them apart, killed them, put them apart, took a turtledove and a young pigeon, and throwed it in, and made a--and made a--a sacrifice unto the Lord. And when he did, he waited there, and kept the birds off the--the food until the sun was going down. And when the sun was going down, there come a great deep sleep upon Abraham. That sleep is that eternal sleep, spoke of it: all men must die. And a horrible horror of darkness before him, where smoking furnace, where every man that's born in this world comes to the world shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies, a liar, an ungodly, a reprobate, as soon as he's born.

L-49 So we don't... We're born; we don't even have a chance with--outside the Blood of Jesus Christ. And then, that hell we deserve it every one of us. But beyond that went a little white Light, that went in between these divided pieces of sacrifice.
Now, if we had time, I'd like to tell you what each of those represented, the she goat, and the ram, and the heifer. And did you notice, he didn't separate the two turtledoves? They represent Divine healing. See? So he never separated them, never cut them apart.
But as this little Light went between that--them two, He was confirming the covenant to Abraham, what He would do with him and his seed, and how the seed would come, and how He'd keep His promise. It was a contract being signed. Now, what did He mean?
