22-0923A_THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED PT.8 (WHEN GOD AND HIS WORD BECOMES ONE)

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 

Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 

Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 

Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 

Gen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 

Gen 1:7  And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 

Gen 1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 

Gen 1:9  And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 

Gen 1:10  And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 

Gen 1:11  And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 

Gen 1:12  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 

The Smyrnaean church had drifted far from the original. It had become a hybrid. It had hybridized itself the way Eve did. You know that a hybrid is what comes of two species mixing. The result is no longer pure like the original. It is mongrel. Well, when Eve allowed the beast to mingle his seed with hers she produced a creature called Cain that wasn't pure human. He was of the WICKED ONE. Notice how different he was from Abel. Notice how different he was from Seth. He hated God and would not obey the Word and persecuted and killed the righteous. He set himself up above the Word of God.

*THE CHURCH, TOO, HAS DEPARTED FROM WHAT SHE ORIGINALLY WAS. SHE IS A HYBRID.

  124-2    SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

The church, too, has departed from what she originally was. She is a hybrid. That is, the church nominal is a hybrid. People say, "I am a Baptist." It wasn't so in the beginning. "I am Methodist." It wasn't so in the beginning. Instead of the straight Word of God, instead of the Spirit-filled men in the church who were led by Spirit-given revelation, there are now creeds, and by-laws, and the educated guesses of educated men. Learning has taken the place of revelation. Reason has replaced faith. Program has replaced spontaneous praise in the Holy Ghost. It wasn't so from the beginning. The whole specie has changed. It has become a hybrid church.

  124-3    SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

Now then, when the church becomes hybridized, will it produce pure Christians? It can't. The life or seed that brings Christians to birth is not in them. Like brings forth like. The Baptists bring forth more Baptists and they act like Baptists. Methodists bring forth Methodists and they act like Methodists. Not one is known by the power of God nor can they be for it's not there. They are known by their ceremonial worship of God and their creeds and dogmas.

  124-4    SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE  -  CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4

Talk about a hybrid. Do you know the most famous hybrid in the world? It has been with us for ages. It is the mule. It is a cross between a donkey and a horse. He is a funny kind of an animal. He can't reproduce himself. He has no life that can do that. Yet talk about work. He can outwork the horse or the donkey. But watch his nature. He is stubborn and you can never trust him. He is a perfect picture of hybrid religion. A cross between truth and darkness, for the horse is a type of the true believer and the ass a picture of the unrighteous one. Mix them and you have a sterile, formal religion. It hasn't the seed of life. It is dead. It can talk about truth but it can't produce it. It doesn't have God in its midst, yet it gathers together and talks about God, and all the while systematically denies the power. They will deny the Word in the very Name of the Lord. And there is never any hope for them. Do you realize that no organized religion ever had a revival? Never! Once they organized they died. They can't ever come back. No sir. I can show you that in type.

*GOD'S WORD'S JUST THE SAME AS IT WAS WHEN HE SPOKE IT BACK YONDER THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  31-2    God's Word's just the same as It was when He spoke It back yonder thousands of years ago. The only thing it needs is water. Why don't we get a crop? Because we got the wrong kind of seed in.

"How many you all would like to change your letter?" Twofold child more of hell than you was when you started. "How many of you Methodists would like to become Baptists? You Baptists like to come Pentecostals? Just bring your membership over here." Oh, for goodness sake. Tommyrot, trash, trash of the devil, there's no Life in it at all. It's hybrid, hypocritical, dead, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.

Didn't Jesus say, "Every plant that My heavenly Father hasn't planted will be rooted up?" Denomination or whatever it is, it'll be rooted up. God's Word alone will stand. Right. That's what He said. "Every man's word is a lie, but Mine's the Truth."

 

*AND WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES INTO THAT GERM OF LIFE THAT'S LAYING THERE, IT PRODUCES ANOTHER SEED, JUST EXACTLY.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  31-4    Then where are we going to go? You better come back to the--your senses. But you can't hear it unless you're predestinated to hear it. We're getting into that. No wonder it falls like water on a duck's back. He's made to shed the water, not absorb it.

The ark was made out of gopher wood and shittim wood. It's the most--it's nothing but just hollow; nothing in it but hollow. Everything's taken out of it. It's growed that way, the lightest wood there is, lighter than balsam. Why did they do it? So he could soak it with pitch. If it been oak... You say, "Wouldn't oak do just as good?" No, sir, it won't soak up nothing; it turns it away. It's repellent, and this is an absorbent. And a real Seed of God is an absorbent for the Spirit. All denominationalism's took out; all unbelief is out. And when the Holy Spirit comes into that germ of Life that's laying there, It produces another Seed, just exactly. Another son of God is born (Amen.), another amateur god, son of God.

***WHEN GOD AND HIS WORD BECOMES ONE (HALLELUJAH.) THAT'S WHEN GOD'S SPIRIT WATERS THE SEED OF GOD, THE WORD OF GOD, IT PRODUCES GOD… IT ISN'T YOU NO MORE; ISN'T THE MAN; IT'S GOD IN THE MAN.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  32-1    I'm a Branham because I was borned of Charlie and Ella Branham. That makes me a Branham because I'm their seed. Their two agreements with their sperm together made a seed, and that made me.

When God and His Word becomes one (Hallelujah.) that's when God's Spirit waters the Seed of God, the Word of God, It produces God; and it's not the individual; it's God. For what? you are dead; you're not yourself no more. You reckon yourself dead, hollowed out, waiting for the Seed germ. Then what is it? It isn't you no more; isn't the man; it's God in the man. It's a Seed germ like the beginning spoken Word. God's Word made manifest in the man; then it isn't the man; it's the man that's died. He can't be a hybrid and a son at the same time. He's either a son of death or a son of Life. So if he's a son of death, give it over to the devil and let him kill it. Give over to God a minute and let Him kill the devil that's in you--run him out: hollows you out. Then let God plant His Own Life in you, then it's not you no more; it's God's Life, because it's God's Word, watered by the Holy Spirit will produce the same thing. You see it? I'd just love to preach on that a few minutes, but with thirty or forty pages of Scripture here... And I've only got three so far.

FROM HIM CAME FORTH THE GERM LIFE, THE THING THAT GIVES, THE WATER THAT GIVES…

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  32-3    All right. Manifested, the works manifested the same by--same by us, for It is the same Word. Now, if you want to do the works of Christ, do the same thing He done. "He that believeth on Me shall have My works." What is that? Believeth what? That He is the Original Seed germ that come. Where is the seed? Here, let me take these handkerchiefs. Here is the man that was supposed to be, right here. This is the man that was supposed to be. What happened? Eve hybrided it--breed it. What it did... Then what did it do? Turned to death, keep dying, dying.

Now, this one come that out... Now, here stays the Word just the same. Here's the Word laying here just the same. Now, what happened? Here's the Word. Now, the Word that God spoke to multiply and replenish the earth, It couldn't find a place to land. Finally this Word caught into the womb of a virgin. (We'll speak of the two wombs this afternoon more...?...) And what happened? From Him came forth the germ Life, the thing that gives, the Water that gives the--the--the kernel its chance to reproduce itself. The Spirit came out of Him and went up.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  33-1    Here we are. We come along. What happened? We believe It; we believe It. Now, what did Jesus say? "He that believeth on Me (See?)... He that believeth on Me, the works that I do--the manifestation that the Holy Spirit come in the form of a dove come upon Me and done this (not through hybreeding, but through virgin born...)" Not the re--the--the course of--of life, like breeding a child, husband to wife; no, not that, not a hybreed, but a virgin born. "Now, through this, I'm giving this Life that if you by faith will accept what Father, all the prophets, all the Word of God, I will pour this Life down upon you, and you'll--can't do nothing else but produce the same thing that I am." There you are.

***THEN WENT IN HIM, DWELT IN HIM, AND THERE COME THE LIFE OF GOD MANIFESTING HIMSELF THROUGH CHRIST.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  33-2    "The works that I do shall he do also." And what did He do? Just as the Father led Him, what He saw. Saint John 5:19, just... "I do nothing till the Father shows Me." What was He--made Himself a man. God was made flesh and dwelled among us. The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. God's spoken Word, through a virgin, brought forth a body, and in that body come the--the Water, the Spirit, and washed by the water of the Word and then went in Him, dwelt in Him, and there come the Life of God manifesting Himself through Christ. God was in Christ, the anointed One.

*FLESH BEING ANOINTED WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD PRODUCED THE WORD OF GOD MADE MANIFEST

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  33-3    "Christ" means "the anointed One," a Man that was anointed. And God dwelling in Him, what was it? The germ with the flesh, the anointed One, flesh being anointed with the Spirit of God produced the Word of God made manifest. "And we beheld Him, the only begotten of the Father, full of grace..." See? There He was. See? He was God's Word made manifest. And now He died in order to pay the debt of your hybreeding (my, my, there it is, what is it?), that you could die to yourself until you're no more yourself and be filled with His Word, believing His Word, and then the Holy Spirit that was in Him comes down to water that Word to make It grow. See?

And then what is it? God manifesting, continuing the work of His first Son, His Only Begotten (See?), that died for our hybreeding life, that He might reconcile us back to be sons and daughters of God, that through the church, might flow the same Life by the Word, continuing the Word being manifested as It was in Christ. Christ was God's Word made manifest. And He died, gave His Life, that He might send the Spirit: take His body up and send the Spirit back to water, pay the redeeming price, if we'll believe it. That's it right there--if you believe it. "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do..." Then come the Holy Spirit upon the same Word of God...

*THE BIBLE'S GOT TO BE IN YOU… BUT WHEN IT COMES IN HERE, WHEN IT COMES IN THE HEART, THEN IT BEGINS TO MANIFEST BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE WORKS OF GOD. 

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  34-1    "Now," you say, "where--where'd He throw it upon the Bible then?" The Bible's got to be in you. The Word is a Seed, and as long as It's laying here it won't do nothing. But when It comes in here, when It comes in the heart, then It begins to manifest by the Holy Spirit, the works of God. Then visions come, power comes, humility comes. All of your know-it-all is gone. You become nothing; Christ becomes alive. You die; He lives. There it is. 'Cause He died, I live. When I die, He--He lives again. And when I die, He promised me Life. And I died out to myself, so in order I can have His Life; and how do I do it? By taking His Word, His Seed, put His Seed in here by faith and believe it, and then it produces exactly what the Bible said

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  34-2    Now, my brethren, search out across the country. We find a lot of imitations. Let's go on just a little while longer. See?

*CHRIST IS THE ORIGINAL SEED, AND THIS ORIGINAL SEED WAS PREDESTINATED BY THE FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD

All right, the works is same manifested in His church that would be, that was manifested in Christ. He said so: Saint John 14:12 "Heavens and earth will pass away but My Word shall not." Is that right?

All right, predestinated as He was, makes the Word Seed flesh... I better stop there now. Maybe you wouldn't but somebody out in the tape-land might under--might not understand.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  34-4    Predestinated: all sons and daughters of God are predestinated. We'll get to the Scriptures after while; I'm just quote it to you: Ephesians the 1st chapter, 5th verse. All right, we are predestinated. Why? Christ is the original Seed, and this original Seed was predestinated by the foreknowledge of God, knowing that the fall would come, and predestinated Him to take our place. You get it? All sons and daughters of God are predestinated. But you say then, "Would He condemn...?..." No, sir. You're here on free moral agent, but the reason that He know... He being God, the infinite One (as I spoke to you about), He foreknew everything that would be. He knowed who they was.

HE DIDN'T MAKE EVE DO THAT.

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  35-1    Now, He didn't make Eve do that. He didn't make her do it, but He knowed she would do it.

Now, no wonder I believe in the 12th chapter of Saint Luke (I believe it is), He said... (Now, don't put that down; I'll get--I've got it wrote down a little later.) that He said, "They got eyes but they don't see. They got ears but they don't hear. Isaiah well spoke of you. Isaiah foresaw you." And there they are setting there with eyes, ears, and everything else, but yet they can't see. Why? They are a repellent to the Word of God. Then Jesus said, "Oh, you hypocrites. You're the... You--you are the children of the devil and his works you do. Then condemn Me," He said, "refuse My ministry..." When show me where your ministry's producing the full Word of God, as His was. See, see?

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  35-3    Now, predestinated as He was--now you say, "How does that predestination come?" God's formal... Now, does--everybody don't understand this, I want you to raise your hand now when I get finished. See?

*GOD'S PUT IT RIGHT BACK AGAIN THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE HYBRID ANY MORE; YOU CAN COME RIGHT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WORD

THE.SPOKEN.WORD.IS.THE.ORIGINAL.SEED_  JEFF.IN  V-3 N-1  SUNDAY_  62-0318

  35-4    God, in the beginning, commissioned Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth. That's how sex was given; that's why it was. But what caused the hybreeding? Bring death. Now, we'll get that this afternoon in the two wombs. See?

Now, notice. Now, in this God foresaw and predestinated a world of sons and daughters. He predestinated them to be there. And because of hybreeding, disbelieving God's Word, caused a hybreeding, God's put it right back again that you don't have to be hybrid any more; you can come right back to the original Word and be a son of God just like you was supposed to be at the beginning. See?
