<TITLE>12. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 Now, we find out then, that the confirmation of the... of Abraham give... and everything turned out just exactly now. Now, watch. One law that God given His church, not one... Not one thing did He promise Abraham, not one thing did He do to Abraham but what He's done to... or give to the church, except one thing: the change of the body.
And when He does that... Now remember, Sarah had to be changed. How many believe that, raise up your hand. She had to have a changed body. She was a hundred years old. How could she give birth to a child?

L-38 Abraham... Well, the Bible said, as a man he was... his body had been dead for many years. Read Romans the 4th chapter, where it said, "Abraham considered not his own body now as good as dead, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, giving praise to God..." kept moving on.
Now, his body was infertile, sterile, a hundred years old, and dead, sexually. Sarah's womb was dead, infertile, milk veins gone, breasts gone, and heart, that a hundred year old woman to go in labor. See, there was... She was just as good as dead. But then she could not have that baby, could not receive that promise, unless she was changed.

L-39 "Now, what are you trying to say, Brother Branham?" Listen close. We cannot in these kind of bodies, ever receive the promised Son, for He's not coming to the earth. We are to be caught up. Our bodies are to be changed in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and we're to be caught up to meet Him in the air. And the last sign was give before the destruction, was that the Angel, showing that God would be dwelling in mortal, human flesh, performing that same sign before our bodies was changed. And that's the last sign the church gets.
Show me one thing more that God did to Abraham! Show me one more sign He give him than that sign there. That was the last sign. All that knows, that's Bible readers, say, "Amen." That's the last sign was given. This is the last sign. Church, hear me, in the name of the Lord.

L-40 Look at my education: my insufficiency of preaching, not holding my subject and speaking like anointed or educated preachers really speak. Don't you listen to that! You listen to what I'm telling you, the Word of God. God's behind it, because He's proven the Word that's being preached. If you can't believe me... You say, "Well, he... Brother Branham don't belong to our organization." Well, believe the works then. Let the organization go and believe the works. Take it to your own organization, get them to believe it. You could do a better job there, than I can. Or you can beat God doing it. God can't do it Himself.

L-41 Notice, the 18th chapter is where He done this. The 17th chapter, now, He give him strength for the miracle, give him the Holy Ghost, in other words, let him draw His... God's own life into his own.
Now, what do we do when we receive the Holy Ghost? We take God's life into ours. Is that right? What? We blend God's life in ours. We're sons of God, because we draw from God, the Holy Spirit that makes us sons of God. What does that do? It gets us ready then, for the change. Oh, brother! It makes us ready for the change that's fixing to come, Spirit filled. Just lean right on His bosom and keep drawing. Then we get changed one of these days, that right away, too. I can promise that. The promised Son is on His way.
Now, notice, immediately after that, Sarah become pregnant, and she knew she was going to have this baby. Now, she's young now, beautiful. Even a king fell in love with her. She would have to be outstanding or that king would never have fell in love with her, you know. She was a beautiful woman... and wanted to marry her, and... and God protected her.
