<TITLE>20. Par 61-63</TITLE>L-61 Now, there's always three classes of people: the unbeliever, the make-believer, and the believer. See? Now, the unbeliever and the make-believer stays together. But the real believer separates himself: what makes him the church. You follow me? Now, all those big organizations down there and all them cooperating had great time.

L-62 And some people laugh at Billy Graham. Let me stop here just a minute. Say... A man that's influenced, like Billy Graham, so many people, why isn't he Pentecostal? He can't be. Has Billy Graham got a part in it? Yes! You spiritual people, wake up now, just a minute. Put your thinking on. What is his name? G-r-a-h-a-m. Now, I know you think that's crazy. Just wait awhile. H-A-M, AbraHAM. See? He's got a message of repentance. And there's nobody you can get to smear one thing on that man's message. He's got repentance down to the key. That's right. He preaches it like a house on fire. See? That's right. God called him to do that. He's going where? Not to the Pentecostals, but to that denominational groups out in that mess out there with Sodom: make up, and all kinds of women, and going around in shorts, and choir singers, and, and deacons married three or four times, and pastors the same way, all that kind of nonsense out there. Go on out and preach it, Billy! Stay with it! He can't do nothing else.
But now remember, there was One of them Who stayed behind and brought a sign to Abraham (Is that right?), the elected church. Not the big bright lights, the big nerve centers, and the great flowery things, the great programs and so forth. It was One Who stayed behind with Abraham. Is that right? And He gave him a sign that the time was at hand. Watch what He done. Now remember, as He did to Abraham, He does to his seed also. Watch Jesus confirm it saying it'll be that way.

L-63 Now watch. The Angel was setting... not Angel, it was God. He was setting with His back turned to the tent. And He said, (Now, isn't it strange?) "A-bra-ham..." Just a few days before that his name was changed and here was a Stranger. How did He know his name was Abraham instead of Abram? "Where is your wife Sarah?" Not S-a-r-r-i, Sarri: but S-a-r-r-a-h, S-A-R-A-H, Sarah, a princess' name. "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?" How did He know he was married? How did He know his name was Abraham? How did He know he had a wife? And how did He know his name was Sarah? Now watch.
The Bible said, "Abraham said, 'She's in the tent behind You.'" She wasn't like the modern women: have to take the husband's place, and be a policeman on the street, and every little place, and... No wonder there ain't no work for man. That's right. Woman took his place. This is a woman's nation, you know. It's got a woman's number, woman's name, and everything else that she is a woman, and a woman will control her. That's right.
She stayed in the tent. She kept herself away. Strange man was around. And he... this is... Here's the reason he called him Abraham: He said, "I (A personal pronoun), I'm going to visit you according to the promise that I give you. I give you that." That's the reason He knowed his name was Abraham.
