24-1101A_THE MESSAGE OF GRACE PT-13 (THE END-TIME SIGN SEED)

Amo 3:7  Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 

Job 14:7  For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 

Job 14:8  Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; 

Job 14:9  Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 

Job 14:10  But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? 

Job 14:11  As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: 

Job 14:12  So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 

Job 14:13  O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 

Job 14:14  If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 

Deu 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: 

*NOW, ALL WISE PEOPLE, IF HE'S ALL RIGHT IN HIS HEAD, HE'S ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND WHAT'S AHEAD OF HIM.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-23    Now, speaking six hours on that subject, and tonight going back again to this same end-time seed sign... Now, all wise people, if he's all right in his head, he's always trying to find what's ahead of him. All of us wants to know that. "What's the next move shall I make? Where do I go from here?" It's like a man crossing a stream. He steps on one rock, then he looks around to see where his next step shall be, for he doesn't... He can't just jump anywhere. If he does he will drowned himself. He must watch where he's going. "After I cross this, then where?" All of us are that way. That's been the cry of the human race down through the ages: "Where from here?"
 
*…THERE'S NOT ONE BOOK THAT CAN TELL YOU WHERE YOU COME FROM, WHAT YOU ARE, AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING: ONLY ONE BOOK, AND THAT'S THE BIBLE.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

That's what we want to know. Where did we come from, and what are we doing here, and where do we go from here? Now, they...All the science that we got, as many bones as we've dug up, as many books as we've wrote, there's not one book that can tell you where you come from, what you are, and where you're going: only one Book, and that's the Bible. It tells you where you come from, what you are here, and where you are going. So therefore, if we want to know where from here, let's take the only book that can tell us.
 
*IF YOU NOTICE NATURE, GOD--IN HIS GREAT WAY TO EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS TO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY'LL BE SURE…

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-29    If you notice nature, God--in his great way to express his feelings to the people that they'll be sure, whether they got a Bible or anything else He expresses Hisself in nature to you.

Watch the sun when it comes up of a morning. What happens to the sun? It's a little baby borned in the east. And about ten o'clock, it's in its teen-age. At noon-time it's in its strength. In the afternoon it's in its middle age. And at evening it's gone, it sets, it's finished. Is that all of the sun? No. God's got a purpose for the sun, so the sun comes back and rises again the next morning. What does it speak of? Birth, life, death, resurrection.
 
*…THE FLOWERS, HOW PRETTY THEY ARE. THEY'RE HERE FOR A PURPOSE… IT SERVED A PURPOSE OF GOD, AND GOD MAKES A WAY FOR IT TO LIVE AGAIN.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-30    Look at your flowers. I was noticing today, coming down, the flowers, how pretty they are. They're here for a purpose. They're spoken words of God. God spoke them into existence. And when He did, look what happens. They're pretty standing in your yard.

After while, frost hits them. Young ones, old ones, middle age, as soon as frost hits them; it's death. They bow their little head, and what happens? A little black seed of some sort drops out of them. Believe it or not, God has a funeral procession for them. The fall rains come, and tears, as it was, drops from the skies and buries the seed.

The winter comes on. The petal's gone, the stalk's gone, the bulb's gone; the seed freezes, bursts open, the pulp runs out. Is that the end of the seed? No, sir. Let that warm sun shine, which brings forth resurrection of all botany life. As soon as that sun begins to light the earth and get warm, there's a germ of life somewhere in that seed, and it lives again. Why? It served a purpose of God, and God makes a way for it to live again.


*WE WERE PUT HERE FOR A PURPOSE, BUT WE MUST SERVE THAT PURPOSE: CHOOSE EITHER DEATH OR LIFE.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

Now, we were put here for a purpose, but we must serve that purpose: choose either death or life. So we're put here for a purpose, but we must serve that purpose. That's serving God, because we're sons and daughters of God.
 
*HE SAW THAT AFTER DEATH IT WASN'T THE END OF IT. HE SAW THAT AFTER DEATH THERE WAS LIFE AGAIN.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-31    Now, Job watched the creation. He saw that after death it wasn't the end of it. He saw that after death there was life again. Life... As soon as the sun got right, it was life again. "Well," he said, "if that seed is a spoken Seed, or a spoken Word of God, and it serves its purpose and dies... But" he said, "a man," I'm looking at some Scripture here from Job now, Job 14, "but a man layeth down; he giveth up the ghost; he wastes away. His sons come to mourn; he perceive it not. Where is he? Oh, that thou would hide me in the grave and keep me in the secret place till Thy wrath be past."

Job said, "I see a flower die. It serves its purpose, and it rises up. I see a tree die, fall of the year puts forth its leaves."
 
*AND CHRISTIANS ARE HANGING ON THE TREE OF LIFE.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-32    Did you ever notice a tree? It will put forth its leaf, and then it serves its time through the summer. Autumn comes. Way before the frost falls, that leaf begins to turn yellow, red, brown. After while it drops off the tree, falls down. Is that the end of it? No. What happens? The life that was in that leaf goes back to the root of the tree where it comes from. What does it do then? Spring of the year it brings forth with it, in a resurrection, a new leaf same life returning back with a new leaf.

And Christians are hanging on the Tree of Life. And when the life leaves this old sinful body, it goes back to the God that gives it, to come forth again with a new one, because it's serving a purpose.
 
*GOD FINALLY EXPLAINED IT TO JOB, THAT THE SEED OF MAN WAS IMPERFECT BECAUSE THE MOTHER OF MAN HAD FAILED TO OBEY GOD'S WORD.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-43    See, God's all around us. God's everywhere. And if we'll look at nature, we will find Him there. Now, after Job had found Him in the death, burial, and resurrection of nature, reproduced itself again of its kind, then he couldn't understand about what a man happened... "If a man," he says, "lays down, he giveth up the ghost. Where is he?" Now, see, the tree never sinned. Nature never sinned. Man sinned. So he couldn't... Then being a prophet...

Now, the Bible, my text said, "He makes his secrets known to his prophets." The Word of the Lord comes to the prophet. And being a prophet, we know the story of Job. God finally explained it to Job, that the seed of man was imperfect because the mother of man had failed to obey God's Word. She tried to mix it with something else and God's Word won't hybreed to nothing. That's right.
 
*NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ANYTHING ELSE, YOU DON'T QUESTION GOD'S WORD; YOU BELIEVE IT.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-44    Jesus said when He was here, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, would say to this mountain..." Why did He refer to mustard seed? Mustard seed won't hybreed. It's genuine mustard seed. It will not take breeding with nothing. And He said, otherwise, "If you have that much faith, God's Word, that won't hybreed to unbelief, or question it... Oh, I feel religious. That you won't question it...

No matter what circumstances, and anything else, you don't question God's Word; you believe It. You're supposed to believe It. If Eve would've only believed it, she would've received... and she'd have brought forth children right. But before she--her husband got to her she... found her already defiled, like Jehovah did, and like Jesus had. There was a defilement in the womb of her thinking. She had accepted a seed of unbelief against God's Word, because it produced something to her more brighter, and she wanted more knowledge.
 
*CIVILIZATION COME BY CHRIST.

THE.END.TIME.SIGN.SEED_  TIFTON.GA  MONDAY_  62-0319

  E-45    That's what's the matter today. I'm standing in a school. We'd be a bunch of ignorants if it wasn't for education, and education is a part of our civilization. But civilization, education, only come by Christianity. Civilization is the grass roots of Chri--of... Or Christianity is the grass roots of civilization. Absolutely. Civilization come by Christ. Certainly.

Now, to disbelieve God's Word, or mix It with something to have more light... You can't mix It. It won't mix. You've got to believe it just the way God wrote it, and the way He spoke it. It's not to be added to, or taken away from, or anything, you must believe it that way.

Php 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 

Php 4:5  Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 

Php 4:6  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 

Php 4:7  And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 

Php 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Php 4:9  Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 

Php 4:10  But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 

Php 4:11  Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 

Php 4:12  I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 

Php 4:13  I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
