Gen 18:13 And the LORD said unto
Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh,
saying, Shall I of a surety bear a
child, which am old?
Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for
the LORD? At the time appointed I
will return unto thee, according to the
time of life, and Sarah shall have a
son.

How God spoke then & Now
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times
and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the
prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom he
hath appointed heir of all things, by
whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of
his glory, and the express image of
his person, and upholding all things
by the word of his power, when he
had by himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the
Majesty on high;
A False Prophet
Num 22:37 And Balak said unto
Balaam, Did I not earnestly send
unto thee to call thee? wherefore
camest thou not unto me? am I
not able indeed to promote thee
to honour?
Num 22:38 And Balaam said
unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto
thee: have I now any power at all
to say any thing? the word that
God putteth in my mouth, that
shall I speak.
2Pe 2:1 But there were false
prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers
among you, who privily shall bring in
damnable heresies, even denying the
Lord that bought them, and bring
upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their
pernicious ways; by reason of whom the
way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall
they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment
now of a long time lingereth not, and
their damnation slumbereth not.
2Pe 2:15 Which have forsaken the
right way, and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam the son
of Bosor, who loved the wages of
unrighteousness;
2Pe 2:16 But was rebuked for his
iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with
man's voice forbad the madness of
the prophet.
Jud_1:11 Woe unto them! for
they have gone in the way of
Cain, and ran greedily after the
error of Balaam for reward, and
perished in the gainsaying of
Core.
Rev_2:14 But I have a few things
against thee, because thou hast there
them that hold the doctrine of
Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a
stumblingblock before the children of
Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto
idols, and to commit fornication.
Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O
man, what is good; and what
doth the LORD require of thee,
but to do justly, and to love
mercy, and to walk humbly with
thy God?
True Prophet
1Ki 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite,
who was of the inhabitants of Gilead,
said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of
Israel liveth, before whom I stand,
there shall not be dew nor rain these
years, but according to my word.
1Ki 17:2 And the word of the LORD
came unto him, saying,
A True Prophet
1Ki 17:3 Get thee hence, and turn
thee eastward, and hide thyself by
the brook Cherith, that is before
Jordan.
1Ki 17:4 And it shall be, that thou
shalt drink of the brook; and I have
commanded the ravens to feed thee
there.
1Ki 17:10 So he arose and went to
Zarephath. And when he came to the
gate of the city, behold, the widow
woman was there gathering of sticks:
and he called to her, and said, Fetch
me, I pray thee, a little water in a
vessel, that I may drink.
1Ki 18:17 And it came to pass, when
Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto
him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
1Ki 18:18 And he answered, I have not
troubled Israel; but thou, and thy
father's house, in that ye have forsaken
the commandments of the LORD, and
thou hast followed Baalim.
Jas 5:16 Confess your faults one
to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much.
Jas 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like
passions as we are, and he prayed
earnestly that it might not rain: and it
rained not on the earth by the space of
three years and six months.
Jas 5:18 And he prayed again, and the
heaven gave rain, and the earth brought
forth her fruit.
