<TITLE>12. Par 124-138</TITLE>L-124   "Mr. Impatient, he kept pointing his finger at me, 'See, there's nothing to it. Why, if there is something to it, you'd had it. That's ten years ago. You ought to had that baby, in ten years.'"

L-125 But, he said, "I held steady, because I was fully persuaded, that what God said. God never told me when I was going to have that baby. He said I would have it.

L-126 "But after twenty-five years, when I was a hundred years old and Sarah was ninety, the baby come on the scene." He's a very good witness. "I waited twenty-five years. I never staggered at the promise of God, by unbelief."

L-127 And we claim to be Abraham's children, and can't wait from one night to the other. Just proves we're not. That's right. Watch, we get on the wrong side.

L-128   "See," he said, "I waited twenty-five years. God didn't tell me, 'Next month Sarah is going to conceive.' He said, 'You'll have the baby.' And I was fully persuaded, no matter how old I got. And I knowed that I would see it happen, because it was to be my child. Amen. Nothing is going to harm me. Old age, sickness, death, or nothing else can do it, till that promise is fulfilled. And I staggered not at the promise, through unbelief."

L-129 "But every day, when Sarah said, 'I feel no better,' I got stronger. Every year when she said, 'Well, I didn't have it this year.' 'Then you'll have it this year.' 'I didn't have it last year.' 'We'll have it this year.' That went on and on, and on and on, year in and out, for twenty-five years. And one day, I seen her turning back to a young woman. I begin to see my strength coming. And the baby was born, twenty-five years later."

L-130 The Word never said when he would have the baby, but said he would have it.

L-131 "Abraham, I know you could testify a lot, but step down. I want another witness." All right.

L-132   The defense Witness now will call up His third witness. That'll be Moses. And Moses said, "When I was born, I was born a prophet." He wants you to know that gifts and callings are without repentance.

L-133 No matter how many books you read out of these stores, that says that God doesn't do that, the Bible still remains true, that, "Gifts and callings are without repentance." You're born in this world, what you are.

L-134 And now notice. Moses, he had a sign, to go down and show to the people, and there was a voice to follow that sign. Yet, when he went down with a God-given sign. Now, don't fail to get this, court. When he went down with this God-given sign that come from God, Pastor Pharaoh tried to--to smear his God-given gift, by making him say it's magic. He had somebody could do the same thing, some magician. And tried to make his God-given sign a cheap magic trick.

L-135   All Pastor Pharaohs didn't die in that day, see. "Some kind of mental telepathy, some kind of a power of Satan." And the thing of it was, they called up some cheap magicians and done the very same thing that he did.

L-136 "But," he said, "that didn't shake me, because I know that the Voice that spoke to me was a Scriptural Voice, in that tree. He said, 'I have heard the cries of My people, and I have seen their affliction, and I remember My promise.' And the Voice..."

L-137 Although, it was very odd in that day, for a thing like that to happen. They had all kinds of magic tricks they could do. And God give him something, a sign, that looked like it was some kind of a cheap magician trick, to try His servant. O God! But, he held steady, because the Voice that commissioned him was a Scriptural Voice, and he knowed It was God.

L-138   And you know, we're promised that same thing in the last days, the same thing to repeat again, them Jambres and Jannes to come back, to withstand the true Thing when It's in operation. But their follies will be made known then. By...
