<TITLE>10. Par 66-77</TITLE>L-66 Could you imagine an old man seventy-five years old, and a woman sixty-five, going down, shaking, down to the doctor, and say, "Doctor, I want you to get the hospital ready now. We might call you any night, because, you know, we're going to have a baby"?
The doctor'd say, "Yeah, yes, sir, you're... Uh, uh, uh!" As soon as they get on the phone, say, "Better go after him; there's something wrong."
And everybody that takes God at His promise is considered by the world crazy. Paul said, "In the way that's called heresy, that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." "Heresy" is "crazy"; we know. It's a foolishness to the carnal mind. Faith is crazy to everybody but God and the one that's got the faith. That's right.

L-69 But God promised Abraham, and Abraham believed it. He never said, "God, how will it be?" He said, "All right, God, I believe it." And I can see him go home, say, "Sarah, let's go down and get us several yards of birdeye, and get us some pins, and get us some booties: going to have a baby." Oh, my.
First thirty days passed, or twenty-eight days. "How you feeling, dear?"
"No different."
"Bless God, we're going to have it anyhow."
"How do you know?"
"God said so."
Some of us can be prayed for one night, and set in the meeting where the Holy Ghost is falling; and the next morning if we ain't sound, well, solid, "I--I still sick at my stomach a little bit. I can't move my hands any more." You, Abraham's Seed, staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief?

L-72 Something come up in the church, the devil can get amongst a--a group of fine people and get in there and go to whipping that congregation around, the first thing you know, some say, "Huh, I'm going to leave this old thing, there wasn't nothing to it in the first place." Abraham's Seed? My, my. First little flaw the devil can show you, then you--you're through with it. It showed you didn't believe it in the first place.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom's like a man took a net, and went to the sea and cast into the sea. When he come in, he had everything." That's right.
That's what the--that's what a revival catches. What is in the net? You got frogs, spiders, turtles, crawfish, snakes, and fish. It ain't very long till the turtle said, "Well, this is no place for me," right back in the mud he goes. The old water-spider looked around, and say, "Huh. I can't have a card game here." So down into the mud she goes again, like a hog to its wallow and a dog to its vomit. That's right. And then Abraham's Seed? Oh, my. Such a disgrace. Abraham's Seed believes God's Word.

L-75 Set back there and say, "Yeah, bless God, I'm Pentecostal." And somebody preach something on the Word, there It is wrote right out. "Hallelujah, I don't believe that. No, sir." Abraham's Seed? Huh.
Now, if it's some nonsense, of course, you don't believe it. But if It's the Word, It's the Truth. That's right. Abraham's Seed holds to that Word and nothing else.

L-77 Another month's passed. "Sarah, sweetheart, how you feeling now? You know, another twenty-eight days has passed, how you feeling?"
"No different, darling."
"Glory to God. It's two months greater miracle than it was if it happened last month."
A year passed. "Shall I lay these little booties away?"
"No, sir, you keep them there. We're going to have that baby."
"How do you know you're going to have it?"
"God said so. That settles it."
After twenty-five years passed. "How you feeling, Sarah?"
"No different."
"Glory to God. It's twenty-five years more of a miracle now." He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong, holding to the Word of God, and calling those things which were not, as though they were. Why? God said so. Oh, my.
