<TITLE>08. Par 71-80</TITLE>L-71 The real Seed of Abraham believes It. They know It. And He stands, tonight, as He met Abraham up there in the days of Lot and performed that miracle, as He did by telling Sarah what she said behind Him. Jesus promised, the Royal Seed of Abraham, that the Church would see that same thing just before His Coming. What is it? It's got to happen. God promised it. Jesus Christ confirmed it and said it would be so, and here we are today, after two thousand years, see Him in our midst, still the mighty Conqueror! He conquered death, hell, grave, all superstition; took the Word...?... her. Yes.

L-72   He said, "If ye abide in Me, and My Words in you, ask what you will and it shall be given to you." What was it? The Word, Christ, That's in your heart. "If ye abide in Me, My Words abide in you, then you've conquered everything 'cause I conquered it for you. If ye abide in Me, if you can understand Me, if you can abide in Me. He that believeth Me, that receiveth Me; not just make-belief, but can receive. He that heareth My Words, understandeth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, has everlasting Life; and shall not come into temptation, or condemnation, but has passed from death unto Life." There He is, the mighty Conqueror!

L-73   Here He is today, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Here He is performing before the Seed of Abraham, that's been called out of Babylon, called out of Sodom, called out of the world, and separated, showing His promise just exactly through. After two thousand years, here He stands in the midst of us, tonight, that mighty Conqueror, the Word of God Who can discern the thoughts that's in the heart, and the intents thereof. What is it? "Thy Seed shall possess the gates of its enemy." What is it? It's the Seed of Abraham, the royal Seed, believing the Word. And the Word is--the Word is God.

L-74   Now when we see this, we can scream out with them, like the poet of old.
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried, He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever;
Someday He's coming, O glorious day!

L-75 Someone said, "You're getting old, boy." I can't help that.

L-76 I've lived since I was a little boy, my only achievement I've ever had is to see Jesus Christ's Coming. I gave my life for that purpose. I'm still in the pulpit, as an old man, I believe the same Story, and the greatest thing I can think of is to see Jesus Christ coming from the heavens to receive His own. God, then my... No wonder we can sing:
All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him the Lord of all.

L-77   Why? He is the mighty Conqueror. If you're in Him, you're in the Word. He said, "If ye abide in Me, ask what you will." "What you will," for every gate has already been conquered. Then we can say:
For every promise in the Book is mine,
Every chapter, every verse, and line;
I am trusting in His Word Divine,
For every promise in the Book is mine.

L-78 Friends, do you realize what that means? Every promise that God made Abraham, every promise that was spoke by the prophets, every promise that Jesus Christ promised for this day, He is here to confirm it and to show that He lives forevermore. "Thy Seed shall possess the enemies' gate."

L-79   When it comes down to the hour of death. You say, "What about that?" You still have that Possession that Paul said. "O grave, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting? But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory through that mighty Conqueror, Jesus Christ." Oh!
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.

L-80 Tonight, after two thousand years, we stand to see Him, yet, the mighty Conqueror Who rent the veil that separated us from any promise of God, and we are more than conquerors in Him. Let us pray.
