<TITLE>25. Par 89-92</TITLE>L-89 Now look, You know what He done to Sarah and Abraham? Now listen real quiet now. He changed them back to a young man and woman. I'll want prove He did. Now, listen close.
The first thing, you know immediately Abraham and Sarah left that land and went down to Gerar. Is that right? Measure it on the map; quite a long ways for an old man, little grandma with a little bonnet on her head, you know.
Now, you say, "Oh, well, they just lived longer."
The Bible said, "They were well-stricken in age, and past the time of living in human life." Little grandma, here she goes.
They go down there, and when they got down there, there was a--a young king down there named Abimelech was looking for a sweetheart. And all them beautiful Philistine girls around there, when he seen grandma coming, he said, "That's the one for me." He fell in love with her and said, "You're fair to look upon." Shame on him, little grandma could not even live with her own husband, hadn't for years, and made fun of the Angel even saying she'd do it... He made her a young woman. She was beautiful and fair.

L-90 Now look, let me tell you something. He would've had to... He done something to her. Now, what if He'd just made her fertile? What if He'd just... If He did that... They didn't smoke cigarettes in them days and have to raise their babies on bottles. See? They didn't have it. They had to raise them on the breast. The milk veins had dried up. A woman a hundred years old go in labor, she'd die in a minute, certainly she would. He had to give her a new heart; He had to give her milk veins; He had to fertilize her womb; He had to...
Look what He had to do to Abraham, his body as good as dead. He just changed him back. 'Cause He's showing him what He's going to do in the seed of Abraham. See?

L-91 Notice. He went down there, and so Abimelech fell in love with her (How many knows that's right?) and took her for his wife. And he was going to come marry her because she was a beautiful girl. And that night that real good legalistic brother was laying out there, you know. He said his prayers, and took his bath, and stuck his toes up. Tomorrow he's going to marry this beautiful Hebrew girl, boy, just only a hundred years old. See? And oh, how... Just as how pretty she was, and her young husband setting out there...
And that night the Lord appeared to him in dream and said, "You're just as good as a dead man." That's right. I want to ask you something, whether you're--you're all right for your healing this evening or not.

L-92 Why, he said, "Lord, You know the integrity of my heart." Said, "That woman told me that that was her brother."
Said, "That's a man's wife." Listen, here's the part. Said, "Her husband is My prophet. And I don't care how much you pray; I'll never hear you. Go, let him pray for you, and I'll heal you."
Setting out there lying, and a man that would say that against his wife to save his own neck... Are you worthy of that? See? What am I trying to do? Show you that it's God's grace that's made you worthy. You're no good; I'm no good; but He's the One that's good. Look to Him. He's the One that did it. That's different, God's grace. Abraham setting there lying... Was he lying? Did he do it? He said, "That's my sister." A little white lie: they're big black ones.
And she said, "That's my brother." And that was wrong. But he's telling in a round about way to save his neck.
