<TITLE>18. Par 83-86</TITLE>L-83 And Sarah, in the tent, saying, "How can I..." She laughed. In other words, little snicker, you know, to herself. Said, "Now look. How can I have pleasure again?" Abraham was a hundred years old, and the Bible plainly speaks it out there now, that they were both well--was old and aged. And the way of Sarah had been gone for a long time; Abraham, his body as good as dead, and her womb had been dried up and was dead for years.
"I'm going to visit you according to life--time of life, and you're going to bring this child." Now, notice before closing.
And Sarah laughed, said, "How could that ever be? Me as old as I am, have pleasure again, and my lord also (Now, notice that's a little "l" there, lord, Abraham,), him being old also."
And the Angel said, "Why did Sarah laugh?" Oh, my.

L-84 Now, remember, Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, and in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." What is it? It's God, the Holy Spirit, dwelling among human flesh in these sanctified vessels that the Son of God's Blood cleansed by faith; and God dwelling in these vessels, performing and carrying on the works of Jesus Christ, making Him the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-85 If we're baptized by the Holy Ghost into the body, then we become the body of Christ. Then we're resurrected with Him. When He raised up, we raised up also in the resurrection with Him; because He is the Head, and the Head and the body's together. Then today Christ is in the church in you.
And His works that He once did (St. John 14:12), "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." That's right. Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." See there? People don't expect it to be that way. They expect us to be a bunch of illiterate people, don't even know what they're talking about. They believe it to be some bunch of dummies. But we--we might be, in the sense that they're talking about. But we accepted the Holy Ghost the way God poured It out, and got the same results that they had back there, so it proves that it. He's the unchangeable God. Yes sir. We get the same results. Amen.

L-86 My own mother when she was dying, she said, "Billy, you've been..." I baptized her many years ago. She said, "You've been kind of a spiritual guide to me, Billy."
And I said, "Mother..." You know our people's Catholic. And I said...
When I first knowed that God was God... I knowed it all my life from a little boy, but my people never went to church. And I went down and talked to the priest, and he said, "This is the church; this is the way."
I said, "Well, the Bible... Could I...?"
He said, "Now, you get all confused. See? This is the church. God is in His church. You must believe the church."
Well, I went over to the Lutherans, and they said, "We're the church. We're the body of believers."
Went over to the Methodist. They said, "We're the body of believers."
Went to a Baptist. They said, "No, they're all wrong. We are that."
