<TITLE>24. Par 85-88</TITLE>L-85 "Abraham, I am going to visit you according to My promise." Who was it? Who was it? No wonder Abraham called Him Elohim. "I'm going to make My promise fulfilled and Sarah be as a young lady."
Sarah back in the tent, lovely woman, but she said, "Me, an old woman, nearly a hundred years old, and my lord (her husband) an hundred too, and I have pleasure with him again?" You understand what I mean, don't you? As husband and wife it'd ceased to be. See? Said, "Have pleasure as a young woman again with my--my husband out there?" When that may have been twenty years past before such family relationship. See? "Me, an old woman have pleasure with my husband, and him an old man too?" She said... [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.]

L-86 And this Angel, Elohim in flesh, looked at Abraham and said, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying within herself these things could not be?" See what kind of sign the elected Church got? See what kind of sign Billy Graham's a giving? See what it is here in the elected Church. It's God in your flesh manifesting. And didn't Jesus say, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man?" Do you see it now? Now, we're passed justification, sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, the placing of the gifts of the son in the Church. Now, it's God manifesting Himself for that sign. And I ask any Bible reader to show me one more sign He'd done before--after that.
Now. Now, let's--let's go just a little piece farther. He said, "She's in the tent behind You."
Now look, God would've condemned that woman right there for disbelieving that Angel. Do you believe that? But He couldn't do it. And the way some of you Pentecostals, us Pentecostals are acting, we'd have been kicked out a long time ago; but God can't do it. Why? If He'd have kicked out Abra... If He'd kicked out Sarah, she was a part of Abraham. So she was heirs with him. So He'd have to kick out Abraham out too, so He couldn't do it on account of his wife, on account of the husband.
So that's the way. It's because of Christ He can't kick us out. We're His sons and daughters. Our unbelief doesn't mean nothing. The real true seed of Abraham will shine anyhow. There it was.
Listen close now. And the Angel said, "I'm going to visit you; according to the time of life, why, this things will happen." And Abraham went with Him, and He vanished and went away; out into the dark somewhere He went, turned back to God again.

L-87 Have we seen justification? We seen sanctification, baptism of the Holy Ghost, coming into the Body of God? Have we seen the placing of gifts in the Church? Now haven't we seen the manifestation of God, the last sign?
Now, watch. Immediately God did something to Sarah and Abraham. Now, you're not going to believe this, but it's so anyhow. You see, when--want read the Bible, you don't read It just like reading the newspaper. "And they had an explosion the other day, now, I don't know whether it's true or not." They tell us so many things that's wrong, you just can't pay no attention to it. But when you read the Bible, It's a love letter to the Church.
The Bible said Jesus thanked God for hiding it from the eyes of wise and prudent, and revealed it to babes such as would learn.

L-88 When I go overseas, my sweet little wife will write me a letter. "Dear Billy, I'm setting here tonight with the children. We have just put them to bed. Little Joseph cried a little tonight for you before I went to bed." I know what she's--what she's writing. But I love her so much I can read between the lines; I know what she's talking about. That's the way you have to read God's Word: between the lines. If you love Him, He just reveals it to you. You--you start there, and you just, "Why, just here it is." Why, say, "Here it is." Yes, sure.
