<TITLE>21. Par 74-76</TITLE>L-74 And now, how many in here is borned again? Let's see your hand. Spirit... All right. You should be able to take meat now. Listen close. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." Now, these two messengers, outstanding messengers, went in there. Lot had give his message, but it sounded nothing to them. They didn't pay any attention to him, 'cause the life he lived proved it: lukewarm church. Even his own children didn't even believe in him.
But when these messengers went in, they seen that they were godly men. And if Sodom hasn't received their godly men today in a Oral Roberts and a Billy Graham, I never knowed one: godly men, shaking them out.

L-75 Look at Billy Graham, that great evangelist, out in Sodom there, blasting away, doing no miracles. But "Get out of here. Repent or perish." He cries. And listen, we've had great men down through the ages. We've had Moody, Wesley, Sankey, Finney, Knox, Calvin--all the way down. But never did we have a messenger to that church nominal that ended his name the same way Abraham was, to show that he was the seed of Abraham: G-r-a-h-a-m to the church nominal. We've had all kinds of names, but never that name. This is it.
And now, there's a messenger sent to the church elected, Abraham. Watch what He did. He set up there, and He said, "Abraham..." Now, remember a day before, his name was Abram, and his wife's name was S-a-r-a-i, Sarai. Changed it to Sarah, S-a-r-a-h, and his name was Abram to Abraham.

L-76 Watch this Messenger now. Looked like a man, clothes on, dust on His clothes, setting eating veal chops, and drinking milk, and eating butter, and bread. Right. It was God setting there. He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah (S-a-r-a-h)?" How did He know his name had been changed from Abram to Abraham? How did He know he had a wife? And how did He know her name was Sarah?
And Abraham said, "She's in the tent behind You." Notice the Bible specifically said behind Him.
Watch here. Here proves... "I (personal pronoun), I'm going to visit you according to the time of life, like I promised you." See Who it was? It was the God that had been talking to him all along down the journey, the twenty-five years he'd been believing Him. "I'm going to visit you according..." And Sarah, now, she was ninety years old, and Abraham was a hundred. They--they didn't have any married life as husband and wife. You know what I'm saying, you adults. See, that... they... that ceased with them years ago, because they was well-stricken in age.
And she laughed in herself said, what we call in the--in the States, laughed up her sleeve, you know. "Me an old woman, and my husband setting out there, old too, and we will have pleasure again as a young married couple?"
And the Angel with His back turned to the tent said, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying that these things cannot be?" See what a sign that church got? They'd had all other kind of signs, but that was the last one.
