<TITLE>08. Par 89-99</TITLE>L-89   Today, people are something on the order like they was in the days when the disciples was out on the ocean. And one night a storm came up, and there wasn't nothing; all hopes was gone, that they ever be saved. And they seen Him come, walking on the--the--the water. Now their ship was water-logged, and the sails was broke, and the oars was gone, and they were holding one another, screaming. And they looked out there and seen Him come, walking on the water, and was scared of Him. Their only hope, and they were afraid of the only thing that could save them. If that ain't a true picture today, again! They--they thought it looked spooky. You know, they said they cried out, for fear, "Is was a spirit!" It looked too like spiritual. That's the same thing it is today.

L-90 But if you'll just do like they did when they cried out; they heard that voice coming, "Fear not. It is I. Be not afraid. Be of a good courage."

L-91 And if you'll just watch the Word of promise for this day, you'll hear that same voice speaking through the Word, "It's Me. I promised to do this in the last days. Fear not. Don't be scared. Put your trust in Me, the Son of God," Who He is. Believe it now.

L-92   We left Abraham in the Presence of Elohim, last night, where he... we brought him down through the promises. And now the last promise before the coming of the son, we find out that a Man came up; dressed like a man, eat like a man, talked like a man; and Abraham looked upon Him and addressed Him as Elohim, "Elohim." Two had went down to Sodom, to preach down there. And we likened that setting to today. You all remember the story where we left it. Just perfectly the same thing as Jesus predicted it would be, that, "as it was in the days of Sodom," the same thing sets in the same position tonight. And if...

L-93   Today I was sitting there, and I was wondering, and I wondered all about this. They heard another earthquake taking place down there, and they said, "Shaking the countries again." And I thought, what is this? You know, it was done on Good Friday. You know, nineteen hundred years ago, on Good Friday, the church rejected Jesus Christ, and an earthquake shook the world all over. And they've rejected Him again, in the Laodicean Age, as the Bible said they would do, had Him on the outside.

L-94 And this ecumenical move of the Council of Churches is exactly what they're doing. They're forfeiting all their evangelical teachings and things. "How can two walk together unless they be agreed?" Well, you can't do it.

L-95 That won't work with real, genuine Christians. They'll never receive it. No, sir. A born-again Christian will never go in a trap like that. It's just like putting a duck in a--in a cage. They know he's headed for the slaughter. You'll never drive him into that. So, we, a real born-again Christian will stay away from that.

L-96   Now Abraham was standing there and talking to a Man that had His back turned to the tent where Sarah was. And Abram's... Abraham's name, a day or two before that, was Abram; and Sarai, and now it's Sarah, to Abraham. And He addressed Abraham in his fatherly, priestly name. "Abraham, where is Sarah (princess) thy wife?"
He said, "She is in the tent, behind You."

L-97 He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the promise, the time of life," in other words, "another month. And I'm going to visit you as I've promised."

L-98 Been waiting for twenty-five years now for this promised child; not staggering of unbelief at the Word of God, but was strong, giving praise to God. Watch this now.

L-99   And then Sarah, inside the tent, if we'd put it in street expression, kind of laughed up her sleeve, said, "Me, an old woman, ninety years old, and have--have pleasure with my lord, my husband, him out there a hundred years old?" Ceased to be as husband and wife; many, many years.
