<TITLE>17. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 He said, you might be prayed for, "So, I don't see no difference in me," then you go on back. (See?) That's not Abraham's seed. When Abraham's seed catches that promise, there's nothing going to move it. It's going to stay right there, no matter...
I can hear Abraham saying--come in and say, "Sarah."
"Yes, darling."
"I--I just met God out there."
"Oh."
"He said we're going to have a baby."
Could you imagine an old man seventy-five years old, an old woman sixty-five, going down to the doctor and make arrangements for the baby? The doctor'd say, "They're... The old fellow, poor old guy, he's off." See? Oh, that's the way everybody that's spiritual, everybody that loves God, they're considered a little bit off, you know, so... "Why, the old fellow, let Him alone; he's harmless."
Well, God told Abraham, "Separate yourself from such. Come out, get away from that unbelief."

L-63 Excuse me, sisters, I have to make a point here. But maybe after the first month, or so many days, I can hear Abraham say, "What about?" See, now, remember, she was about twenty years past menopause. So said, "How you feeling, darling?"
"No different."
"Bless God, we're going to have it anyhow. Get the booties made, and all the little blankets, and so forth. Going to have it anyhow."
"How do you know?"
"God said so. That settles it. God said so." Well, a year passed. "How about it, darling?"
"No different."
"Glory to God, it'll be a greater miracle now than it was in the first place. Going to have it anyhow."

L-64 Twenty-five years passed. Now, here she's a little grandma (See?), and Abraham old and stricken in age. Now, "Dear, how're you feeling now?"
"No different, darling."
"Glory to God, we'll have it anyhow."
"How do you know?"
"God said so."
Now, the seed of Abraham takes the same stand: "God said so."
Then you say, "Well, I was prayed for, but I don't believe I'm any different." That ain't the seed of Abraham. No, no. The seed of Abraham believes it. I don't care what... Fifty doctors could stand and say you're going to die.
"No, go on, doctor."
"How do you know?"
"God said so." That settles it.

L-65 Now, notice. He was waiting. Years had passed. The beauty had faded; and she was old, and he was old. And one day Abraham, still keeping separated, representing the seed of Abraham today, separated from the world, called out, set aside. That's Christians, real believing Christians: set aside, called out.
Now, Abraham, setting up there on the hill; things wasn't going too good. He wasn't rich. Cattle was starving.
Lot was doing fine. He was down in Sodom, mayor of the city and, oh, he was... His wife belonged to all the clubs, and they--his daughters belonged to all the societies, and, my, I imagine they was just like Sodomites. So there they was, down there in Sodom.
So then, one day while Abraham was setting in the shade of the oak, where his tent was pitched, he seen three Men come walking. There's just something about a Christian, when you see Christ, you can recognize it. He looked at those Men, and he run out to meet Them. Now, he didn't do like a heathen, say, "My lords." He said, "My Lord, come by. Set Yourself under the tree and rest. And I'll fetch a little water, and I'll wash Your feet. Refresh Yourself, and I'll get a morsel of bread for You to eat." Wanted to entertain Them, because down in his heart he believed there was something about that. He was watching for it. You see? So they set down.
