From the beginning God... We'll take, for instance, the patriarch Jacob.
He was a wondering boy; he was run away boy; he'd run away from home because he
was afraid that--that Esau was going to kill him because of something that he
had done. And he run away from home. Yet that boy was
anchored in God by a Divine promise that was made to Abraham. That's right.
And just
the same promise that laid anchored in Jacob, lays
anchored in every born again believer tonight. God calls sovereignly
without anything you done about it; there's nothing you done. Men say,
"Oh, I sought God." No man has sought God at any time. But it's God seeking man, not man
seeking God, God seeking man. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first." You get it? It
has to be God drawing man.

So Abraham, a man seventy-five years old, married to his half- sister,
Sarah, and they came down from the land--from Chaldea
the city of
But this
man, not because he was different, but because God... Oh, I just love to push
it down. See? Because God saw grace in the heart of Abraham
and saved him by election. Give him the promise. "You haven't chose me," said Jesus. "I chose you."
People
said, "I just toiled and wrestled seeking God." Oh, no. It was God
seeking you. You just wouldn't turn loose. No man seeks God. No man has sought God at
any time, but man is a coward. He runs from God, but God seeks man.
Started
in the garden of Eden: Adam running, hiding behind the
bushes, God out running up-and-down the garden saying, "Adam, Adam, where
art thou?" Father seeking his lost child, not the lost child seeking the
Father... Same today... How we could dwell on that a while if time would
permit.

He had ten thousand head of cattle, he had twenty. He had ten thousand
head of sheep, he had twenty. If he had thirty thousand head of--of a goats, why,
he had--he had a--a sixty: God doubling to him. And then again, I believe he
had seven children. And God restored his seven children. Did you ever notice?
He never doubled his children, He just restored his
children to him. Amen.
Why? How
did He do it? Through the approach, the burnt sacrifice. That's right. Yes,
sir.
They were
all in glory, waiting for him to come. God restored Job his children after they
were dead. He never restored back, making him fourteen children. He restored
his animals and so forth back, but he restored to him. Because why? He become God's provided way of
approach through the burnt offering. That's the approach.

It's not because they desired to see it, not because you want to see
something happen. If
you want to see whether Christ is right or not, come through God's approach to
Him. Then you'll know.
Now, the
uncircumcised tried to come the same thing, to do the
same thing, and they drowned. If you don't want to get wrecked up in life, you
quit pretending to be a Christian. 'Cause you're going to
find yourself wrecked up out here somewhere. Yes, you come through God's provided way of approach.

E-17 Now, see what
prayer does? Prayer is not exactly bringing God down to man. It's bringing man
up to God. See? As you pray, you lose--you lose sight of these earthly things.
You sway out into somewhere else, way beyond, and on and on and on, till you be come into His Presence. And then a--a faith that you have
laid it out before God, said, "Now here, God,
here it is. And I--I want to get well for, this cause." Or, "I want You to do this for me, for this cause. I want You to heal me from--from--from this cancer, or this TB
or--or this anemia condition," or whatever it is. "I will walk before
You, I will--I will do everything I can. I will give this testimony everywhere
I go. I will be happy to do that, Lord. And I will use my life, not for myself.
I will--I will use it for Your glory, to help others
to see You."
