<TITLE>10. Par 103-118</TITLE>L-103 "God has closed the door. I can't open it. There is no latch in here to open it with."

L-104 Now they said, "The old crank, he went in there and closed that door, and trying to make us think... It's a hoax. He is trying to scare us."

L-105   And there is the witnesses of the prosecutor, sitting there, listening to all of this, for they're guilty of doing it. The Bible said so, "Scoffers!"
"And they scoffed at me, made fun of me.

L-106 "And even, myself, I was looking for the rain. All day long, there was no rain. The next day, there was no rain. The next day, there was no rain. Four days, no rain. Five days, no rain. Six days, no rain. But God didn't tell me when it was going to rain, He just said, 'It's going to rain.' He never set any time limit. He just said, 'It's going to rain.'"

L-107   He never said, "As soon as you lay hands on the sick, they're going to jump up and run around the floor," like the skeptic wants to make you think. He said, "They shall recover." He never said when, how. "They will!"

L-108 He said, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick," in James 5:14, "God shall raise him up." When? He didn't say. He just said he would.

L-109 Mark 16, He said, "Say to this mountain, 'be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you have said will come to pass." He didn't say when. He said it would! Hallelujah!

L-110 See that false interpreter of the Word there? Then you say, "Well, let me see you make this man, he's been in the wheel chair a long time. Let me see. He says he's got faith.'" That devil! See who he is?

L-111 Jesus never said they'd jump right up and get at it right then. A lot of Pentecostal people has thought the same thing, but the Bible never said that. He said, "If they believed it, they would get well." And He's got His witnesses here to prove it.

L-112 Noah said, "After a hundred and twenty years, then it rained." But, it did rain. Noah knowed that he was going to see it in his generation, because he built the ark, was ready to go in.

L-113 Now, now we find out that that was true. Now that's Noah, the first witness.

L-114   Now, the second witness, we'll call up. Let's call up Abraham. He said, "I was a prophet, and I prophesied under the inspiration of God. And He told me that my wife, being sixty-five years old, and me seventy-five, at the age, at the time, that I was going to have a baby by Sarah. Yet, sure, she was... I was sterile; she was, her womb was dead. She was twenty years, or more, past menopause. I had lived with her all these years, and there had been no sign of children. She was, her womb was dead. And, but God told me I was going to have a baby by her.

L-115 "And you know, Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, and Mr. Impatient, after the first twenty-eight days, when nothing happened to Sarah, they laughed at me and made fun of me. The first year, they come to me and said, "How many children do you have now?'

L-116   "But, after twenty-five years, the baby come on the scene. It happened. God didn't say, "You're going to have a baby next week, by Sarah." He never designated any time. He said he would have a baby by Sarah. He never said when. He just said he would.

L-117 So Abraham said, "And I staggered not at the promise, through unbelief. But as it lingered on, I got stronger all the time. And seeing as I got weaker in physical, which was the hindrance of the baby coming, instead of getting weaker in faith, I got stronger in faith, for I knowed that God was able to keep His Word.

L-118 "So one day I was sitting, talking with Sarah, and the Angel of the Lord come up. Three man, two of them went to Sodom; One stood by me and talked to me, and told me the things was going to happen. And I was old and stooped in my shoulders, and Sarah could hardly get around. And, you know, the very next day, I begin to see that hump come out of my back. And my hair begin to turn black, and Sarah's cheeks become red."
