00:04:44.884 --> 00:04:46.199 Because we're the seed of Abraham. 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:47.925 If Abraham has it, we've got it. 00:04:47.925 --> 00:04:58.629 Because, while we're really the seed of Abraham wasn't really Isaac, that was the first seed, but really, these seed he's talking about is the Messiah Jesus, and we put Him on. 00:04:58.629 --> 00:05:02.040 We're fully identified with the seed of Abraham. 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.185 We're one in the same. 00:05:03.185 --> 00:05:05.086 Every one of us is one in the same. 00:05:05.086 --> 00:05:14.274 If you've been saved, you've been put on Christ and you are eligible to relate to God as the God who's more than enough. 00:05:14.274 --> 00:05:18.343 Hallelujah, come on, lift your hand right now. 00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:24.127 That's why Smith Wigglesworth said you know, faith laughs at impossibilities. 00:05:24.127 --> 00:05:36.286 You can stare in the face of the most dire circumstance and laugh, because there's nothing too hard for the Lord. 00:05:36.286 --> 00:05:44.374 You know later on, you know when God, you know God's telling them, you know you're going to have a baby about this time next year. 00:05:44.374 --> 00:05:46.425 And Sarah laughed. 00:05:46.425 --> 00:05:48.170 You know, hey, how come she? 00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:50.968 And this is the pre-incarnate form of Jesus. 00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:54.329 The Lord said why did Sarah laugh at talking to Abraham? 00:05:54.329 --> 00:05:57.529 Abraham, they're already renamed by that time. 00:05:57.529 --> 00:05:58.947 Why is she laughing? 00:05:58.947 --> 00:05:59.874 Oh, I didn't laugh. 00:05:59.874 --> 00:06:00.377 Yes, you did. 00:06:00.377 --> 00:06:00.740 No, I didn't. 00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:01.201 Yes, I did. 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.007 He said is there anything too hard for the Lord? 00:06:10.007 --> 00:06:13.185 Glory to God. 00:06:13.185 --> 00:06:18.622 You can look in the face of whatever it is that you've got, looking at you. 00:06:18.622 --> 00:06:23.389 Is there anything too hard for El Shaddai? 00:06:23.389 --> 00:06:26.447 And of course, we know the answer to that. 00:06:26.447 --> 00:06:30.947 And you know El Shaddai is not just God the Father, he's God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. 00:06:30.947 --> 00:06:32.879 El Shaddai lives on the inside of you. 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.232 There are one God. 00:06:34.232 --> 00:06:37.259 There's three persons, there's one God, and they're all the same in that regard. 00:06:37.259 --> 00:06:38.086 They're all. 00:06:38.086 --> 00:06:40.622 Are y'all with me now? 00:06:40.622 --> 00:06:42.976 Yes, glory to God, glory to God. 00:06:42.976 --> 00:06:45.595 Glory to God, el Shaddai. 00:06:45.595 --> 00:06:50.824 So we're Abraham's seed in the airs. 00:06:50.824 --> 00:06:54.862 You know the Bible's filled with El Shaddai. 00:06:54.862 --> 00:06:56.701 How about Psalm 23? 00:06:56.701 --> 00:06:58.339 We love 23rd Psalm. 00:06:59.595 --> 00:07:01.540 He's not the God that just fills your cup. 00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:02.524 He overflows it. 00:07:02.524 --> 00:07:05.298 He overflows the cup, makes a mess all over. 00:07:05.298 --> 00:07:09.959 It, runs over the carpet, makes a mess. 00:07:13.235 --> 00:07:19.701 In John, chapter 7, jesus talked about the Holy Ghost filling you so full that it comes out of you like rivers of living water. 00:07:19.701 --> 00:07:25.262 It's not a trickle, it's not a garden hose, it's rivers plural of living water coming out of you. 00:07:25.262 --> 00:07:30.526 There's no scant, there's no little bitty. 00:07:30.526 --> 00:07:32.038 There's no little bitty with God. 00:07:32.038 --> 00:07:36.041 There's no partial results with God. 00:07:36.041 --> 00:07:37.978 Are y'all getting this now? 00:07:39.495 --> 00:07:42.805 In Luke 6, 38, jesus said giving it shall be given unto you. 00:07:42.805 --> 00:07:46.545 He talks about good measure pressed down, shaking it and running over. 00:07:46.545 --> 00:07:48.119 Will men give to you? 00:07:48.119 --> 00:07:53.240 El Shaddai can act on men to give you so much. 00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:53.581 You don't. 00:07:53.581 --> 00:07:56.906 It's just running everywhere You're scurrying around. 00:07:56.906 --> 00:07:59.922 I know some of you think when is that going to happen?

00:08:43.902 --> 00:08:45.278 I can't process all of this. 00:08:49.754 --> 00:08:53.705 So when did God reveal himself in this way? 00:08:53.705 --> 00:08:58.864 See, when Abram was 99 years old and his wife is 90. 00:08:58.864 --> 00:09:01.460 I mean, you know they're old. 00:09:01.460 --> 00:09:03.299 I mean his body was now dead. 00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:07.903 I mean he is not physically capable of fathering a child. 00:09:07.903 --> 00:09:16.144 And Sarah is double dead because she already had a dead womb when she was young. 00:09:16.144 --> 00:09:18.668 Woman Never had a baby. 00:09:18.668 --> 00:09:19.395 Her womb was. 00:09:19.836 --> 00:09:23.745 And, of course, back in the old days and in Bible days, they always blamed God. 00:09:23.745 --> 00:09:27.501 Well, god has restrained me from oh, it's the devil that restrained you from childbearing. 00:09:27.501 --> 00:09:28.585 They didn't know. 00:09:28.585 --> 00:09:29.626 They don't know what we knew. 00:09:29.626 --> 00:09:31.782 The Bible is progressive revelation. 00:09:31.782 --> 00:09:35.274 So just because something's written down in the Old Testament doesn't mean you've got to. 00:09:35.274 --> 00:09:39.884 You've got to read the Old Testament with New Testament eyes and New Testament revelation. 00:09:39.884 --> 00:09:45.320 No, god didn't restrain her, the devil restrained her. 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:46.719 She just didn't know how to get free. 00:09:46.719 --> 00:09:48.996 But she got free. 00:09:48.996 --> 00:09:54.283 So he spoke to them when they were just passed. 00:09:54.283 --> 00:09:56.721 And so now she's passed childbearing age. 00:09:56.721 --> 00:09:57.745 So now she's double. 00:09:57.745 --> 00:09:59.139 That's why I call her double dead. 00:09:59.139 --> 00:09:59.962 She's double dead. 00:10:00.235 --> 00:10:01.902 I mean, you know, got two strikes against you. 00:10:01.902 --> 00:10:03.258 How in the world?

00:11:22.484 --> 00:11:24.029 See, they were unable. 00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:25.938 I mean, this is look. 00:11:25.938 --> 00:11:27.668 And then what did God tell him, right up front? 00:11:27.668 --> 00:11:31.989 He said you know, I'm gonna multiply the exceedingly. 00:11:31.989 --> 00:11:33.192 Walk before me. 00:11:33.192 --> 00:11:37.222 Walk before me perfect or blameless. 00:11:37.222 --> 00:11:41.090 In other words, walk before me blameless in the covenant. 00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:44.019 I have cut the covenant with you. 00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:46.080 I have shed blood for you. 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.090 When in the world did that happen? 00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:50.177 Well, in Genesis 15. 00:11:52.311 --> 00:12:01.719 You see, god had several opportunities to reveal himself to Abram when he was Abram, and he could have revealed himself earlier. 00:12:01.719 --> 00:12:04.090 I mean, he dealt with him in Genesis 12. 00:12:04.090 --> 00:12:09.043 He told him to leave his house, go to a land you don't know, leave your family behind. 00:12:09.043 --> 00:12:10.090 He didn't obey God in that area. 00:12:10.090 --> 00:12:13.527 He brought his old father, which is an idol maker. 00:12:13.527 --> 00:12:14.090 It was a snare. 00:12:14.370 --> 00:12:15.937 He picked up Hagar in Egypt. 00:12:15.937 --> 00:12:18.070 Hagar was another snare. 00:12:18.070 --> 00:12:20.960 Had Ishmael with Hagar. 00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.023 You hang around in Egypt. 00:12:23.023 --> 00:12:25.475 You're gonna pick up a Hagar and wind up with an Ishmael. 00:12:25.475 --> 00:12:31.638 Get out of Egypt, don't hang around to Egyptians. 00:12:31.638 --> 00:12:34.346 What are you talking about?
