<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 In other words, He appeared to Abraham at ninety and nine, and Abraham was no more man (speaking in terms of human terms), than a little, bitty nursing baby would have been, that was sick. His manhood was gone, and Sarah's womb was dead. But He said, "I am El Shaddai. I am the breasted, mother God."
Like the little baby. He's sick and fretting. His strength's gone. He's lost; he's laid out bare. He's so sick, and his hide's all stretched in like...
Them little baby's in India. See, it's the most pitiful sight, their little belly swelled up from hunger, the little mother laying there dying. Her little baby's gums, just seems like you see his gums through its lips, all the meat's gone. Their little skull, where it goes together, you can see it laying there. It can't cry no more, it's so hungry. Mother, reaching to hear her baby." "Take it." Well, if you take this one, look at the thousands more laying here.

L-45 And we Pentecostals build millions of dollars of buildings, and, Oh, sure, see, "We're real Christians." I don't see it myself. No. Rake it out enough to feed them. Now, that's not what somebody else told me. That's what I know myself. I've... I been there. That's what the... the money that the people give me in love offerings. What do I do with it? I'd go there to feed them and give them food, and tell them about Jesus. That's exactly. Nothing... We ain't got nothing here. Jesus, I believe is coming soon; I ain't got no time for great big things and these kind of things here.
Let's get the message to the dying. That's what He's waiting on us to do. That's what the message is, "Go. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." Not,"Go make organizations, build denominations, and build big buildings, and things..." That's all right. I ain't got nothing against it, but ain't what Jesus said. He never said, "Go make organizations. Go build big churches, big buildings." He said, "Preach the gospel.
"What is the gospel? The power and demonstrations of the Holy Ghost. Now, watch the conjunction, "and (A conjunction ties the sentence together.) these signs shall follow them that believe." You just can't take the word alone. You got to have the thing to back it up, to make them signs follow it. Don't go educate the heathens. Go preach the gospel, demonstrate the power of God before them. But we've done other things. See what I mean.

L-46 Now, the little baby, he... Abraham was like that little baby, belly swelled. All hopes was gone. But, "I am El Shaddai, just lean up here on My bosom, and nurse yourself back to strength again." Oh, seed of Abraham! That's what He's doing to you. This is His promise. Don't take something bogus to it; take the promise. Don't take what anybody else has got anything to say about it. Let every man's word be a lie, no matter how true and scientifically proved that it is, let God's Word be true. Get right up on the breast of God.
Breasted: New and Old Testament, "... wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed." If you've got a... outlet to that breast, then He healed you. Then take a hold of it. What is the outlet? "By His stripes we were healed." That's to the seed of Abraham.
