<TITLE>16. Par 138-146</TITLE>L-138 Abraham, a heir of all things. I... When I got filled with the Holy Ghost like you people did, I like to walk through, and, like a big arcade, everything there belongs to me. I'm heir of every bit of it. And if I heired an arcade, I--I'd like to find out what I got. When I become a Christian, I wanted to know what I owned. So if I had a arcade, I'd go through, and pull a drawer out and see what's in here, and look over here and see what's in there; something seem to be a little bit higher up there, I get me a stepladder and climb up to it. I'd find out what it was. Something seems a little beyond my reach here, I'd get on my knees and start praying till I rise up to it. It belongs to me. God promised it. Divine healing, the power of God, all these miracles and signs and wonders, He promised it.
Say, "Brother Branham, how does these things work?" By the promise of God. Amen.
Seed of Abraham... Glory. I feel good. I may look crazy and act crazy, but just let me alone. I feel better this a way than I did the other way. See?

L-141 14th chapter, we're go over there, Abraham, now we find out in the 14th chapter what happened. The kings come down from the different parts of the country, and was confederate with the kings of Sodom, and went in and took Sodom, took Lot, Abraham's brother in the Lord took him on out, his lukewarm denominational brother, and went off with him. Now remember, God had just told Abraham that everything in the land was his.
"And the meek shall inherit the earth." Say we're crazy? Going to take the earth, what's on the earth. Sure, we fall heir to it.
Look at Satan, said to Jesus, "If you'll fall down and worship me, I'll give you this world." All the kingdoms are all controlled by the devil, every one of them. Jesus said so. The Bible speaks it. Every nation and every kingdom is controlled by the devil. And Satan said, "I own these. These are mine. I'll give them to you if you'll worship me."
Jesus knowed He fell Heir to them in the Millennium, so He said, "Get thee behind Me, Satan." He knew that He was Heir to it.

L-145 And today they talk about crazy people worshipping the Lord and being born again. They're afraid of that being born again. They just don't like that idea, and they substituted something for it. One of them has substitute a handshake; the other one, a little sprinkle of water; other one, stick out his tongue and take a piece of bread; the other one, dance around on the floor. It's a birth.
As I said the other night, "A birth is a mess; I don't care where it's at. If it's in the pig pen or a hospital room, it's a birth; it's a mess." And so is the new birth; it tears you up, but out of that mess comes new Life. Amen. Yes.

L-146 Abraham knew that everything belonged to him; so therefore, when Lot come in, he said, "Now, wait a minute." Lot was taken out by cruel hands of enemy. He said, "That's my brother, and I'll go after him." Now remember, there was about seven or eight kings there had went together, and come down and took everything and swept out with it. And when they went out, Abraham took his servants and went after him to bring back his lost brother. That's real Christian: went after his lost brother. What did he do when he found him? He slaughtered the kings and returned back, bringing his brother, after the battle.
