<TITLE>08. Par 24-26</TITLE>L-24 Now, when we find out in justification what He done with the seed... or to Abraham, was beginning with Luther. Sanctification, the 15th chapter, when He confirmed the covenant by blood. Seventeenth chapter He gave the Holy Ghost, the Pentecostal age, because, you see, all those other elements was something outside of what the church received from Him--what Abraham received from Him. But when He said, "I am El Shaddai... ", the breast, inviting Abraham to come nurse his strength from the breast of God, draw in the life of God into himself... That's when the church got the Holy Ghost, when it tasted of the life of God, when it drawed into itself the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Then what did He do? Just Scriptural as we proved it last night, taking that same thought, God cannot defy His own laws. That's the reason He took His own Son, in the 17th chapter of Matthew, and took Him up on Mount Transfiguration, and positionally placed Him, as His law was. He did it. And then, when He did that, then we find out, He followed His own laws, and here He took Abraham the same way. You say, "Are you sure of that, Brother Branham, the 4th and 5th verse?" Yes, sir. See?
When He gave Abraham part of His name, positionally put His name on the check, the same as His was... His is Elohim: Abraham. See? Gave Him part of His own name. A great revelation there. And you realize, I could run that farther than that, but the church, when it ought to be taking strong meat, is still drinking milk. Right. So He gave him his own name, Abraham. And then when He did that, the next thing He did after He give him that name, placed that on his name, then what did He do? He gave him a sign that He was ready to absolutely destroy all sin that was around him and positionally put his body in condition to receive the promised Son that he had waited on. Exactly what He's done to the church.

L-25 What was the last sign He give Abraham? Had His back turned to the tent and told Sarah what she was doing and thinking inside the tent.
And Jesus, the true Seed of Abraham, the real true Prophet, the God Prophet, that came to the earth and manifested the same sign to the ending up of the Jews... Think of it. When He came to the earth, what did He do? He said to Simon, "Your name is Simon; you're the son of Jonas."--a man who couldn't write his own name... And Simon recognized quickly, by the teaching of his father, that the Messiah would have a sign like that. And he recognized Him and received Him.
Philip, as soon as he saw it, run told Nathanael, and Nathanael come around the bank with him, and run up over where Jesus was; and Jesus looked at him and said, "You are an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi?"
Said, "Before Philip called you; when you were under the tree, I saw you."
And what did that real, elected, predestinated son of God say? "Rabbi, You're the Son of God. You're the King of Israel."
Said, "Blessed art thou..."

L-26 Then He goes down unto a woman in Samaria, because the Samaritans were looking for a... You know, they were looking for a Messiah. Anybody's looking for a Messiah, He will come. If you're here looking for Him tonight, He will meet you. But if you're not looking for Him, He will... you... He's not looking for you either. If you're not looking for Him, He will never come to you.
But the Samaritans was looking. Now, there's only three races of people on earth: Ham, Shem, and Japheth people--Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. The whole breed come from all that.
