22-1014A_THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED PT.11 (RESTORATION BY THE LAW OF GOD'S WORD)
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.
Gen 20:7 Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Joe 1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Joe 1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
Joe 1:3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
Joe 1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
Joe 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
YOU SAY, "THIS IS
A SUNFLOWER SEED." PLANT IT AND SEE WHAT IT IS; THEN IT COMES UP A
SUNFLOWER; THAT SETTLES IT; IT WAS A SUNFLOWER.
12-8 Now, I do appreciate... Now, if you get
tired and want to go out, go ahead. See? But this will be my last Message to
the church for--this part of the church, for some time; and we're expecting a
healing service this morning. And I--I want this message, if
God will bless it, to--to sink deep into our hearts, so we'll get the meaning
of what it means.
Now, we're here to express, to--to say the things that we
believe, and prove it by the Scripture, that the Scripture says so; and then,
may God turn and prove it, that it's true, might make it real.
Just like any... You say, "This is a sunflower
seed." Plant it and see what it is; then it comes up a sunflower; that
settles it; it was a sunflower. See? That's all.
*AND IN ORDER TO DO THIS WE HAVE A RIGHT TO ENFORCE (IF THERE'S A LAW), TO
ENFORCE THIS RIGHTFUL CONDITION OF RESTORATION--TO RESTORE.
15-1 "To restore" means "to bring
back, or to restore; a--a claim can be enforced." Now, to bring anything
back to its rightful owner, where it belongs... Therefore, some way it went
away from its rightful owner, and can wander around anywhere. But to restore
is to bring it back to who really owns it, or to bring it back to its natural estate,
where it was at the first time--bring it back into its natural condition. And in order to do this we have a right to enforce (if
there's a law), to enforce this rightful condition of restoration--to restore.
15-2 Like if somebody stole some property, and
they're holding the property captive. Then you can take the law and go to this
person, and the law forces--enforces this person to restore this property back
to its natural owner, into its...?... or first estate. Enforcement...
Oh, what a text, how I'd like to have two days on that:
enforce. Now, Brother Neville preached for us; I'm just going to talk to you,
teach the Sunday school lesson so it'll--it'll--get it to continue on, I hope,
with what he had.
15-4 Enforce... Then, we are the--have the privilege to enforce upon Satan the
claims that God give us, for God has a law; and His Word is the Law.And God in this Word made
certain claims to the church.Therefore,
we have a right to force these claims upon Satan and say, "Give it
back."
And he has to do it, because we can take God's Agent, the
Holy Spirit, go right down on our knees, and say, "It's
THUS SAITH THE LORD." He's got to give it up; that's all, 'cause the Holy
Spirit's there to make him do it.
15-6 The law of the land is to
enforce--it's by the land, for the land. But the Law of the Spirit of God is to
force Satan to give up that which he has unrightfully, deceitfully taken from
God.Souls
of men he took from God, souls of women, children; sickness of the body, he
placed upon people where God made them in His image to be like Him. And the church is given the rightful, legal
rights by the Bible, to take the Holy Spirit and enforce this upon them.
*THERE'S A LAW, THERE'S A LAW GIVEN AMONGST EVERYTHING.

JEFF.IN V-3 N-15 SUNDAY_

17-7 There's a law... Oh, if I ever get to my
text. There's a law, there's a law given amongst everything.You know, a fish has a law. And that fish can stand up here in water, and he
has a law within him. If he will just let go of that law that's in him,
he can sink plumb to the bottom of the sea: won't bother him a bit; won't break
one cell.
You try to do it. That law's not in you.
You can't do it, but the fish can. He deflates himself of that air, such a way that he can;
there's nothing in him to burst open.And he's made that way; he knows
it, and he can enforce that law to take him plumb to the bottom of the sea and
then raise him back up again.
18-1 Oh, there was a law in
Christ; that law's in man.You can bury him to the deepest
grave, or the deepest sea, or the--the lowest hell; there's a law of the Spirit
of God, that'll raise him up again. See?
22-1010P_PERFECT STRENGTH BY PERFECT WEAKNESS PT.16 (THE WORD IS OUR STRENGTH)
2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Psa 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Psa 27:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
Psa 27:12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
Psa 27:13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psa 71:11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.
Psa 71:12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
Psa 71:13 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt.
Psa 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
Psa 71:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.
Psa 71:16 I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
Psa 71:17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
Psa 71:18 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.
Psa 71:19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!
Psa 71:20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Psa 71:21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
Php 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Php 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Php 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Php 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
Php 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Php 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Php 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
HE IS GOD OF OUR STRENGTH FOR SPIRITUAL. HE'S GOD OF OUR STRENGTH FOR
OUR PHYSICAL.
ABRAHAM_MACON.GAWEDNESDAY_55-0608
God taken the body of Christ and set it on His right hand
of power above, and He sent the Holy Ghost back. And It's going around, looking
out the Church.And
when they come together, it'll have to be the same body, same signs, same
wonders, same baptism, same signs and wonders, same Gospel.Amen. That's right.
ABRAHAM_MACON.GAWEDNESDAY_55-0608
E-42Notice. When He made the covenant, and He confirmed it there, later on, Abraham
went on. Glory to God. And after that experience he really had the victory
then. He got to be ninety and nine years old, almost a hundred. God appeared to
him in the Name of the "Almighty God."
The word comes from the word, the Hebrew word, "El
Shaddai," which means "the breast, the bosom of a woman." El Shaddai, the Almighty, the Strength Giver, the Nourisher. Like the mother to the baby. When the little baby is fretting and sick,
the mother pulls it up to her bosom, and it nurses her strength and her life
into it. And another thing it does, it means He's a Satisfier. While the
little baby is nursing, it's satisfied while it's a nursing. It ain't well yet,
but it's satisfied as long as it's a drawing from the mother. And God is El
Shaddai, the Bosom, not one breast, two breast.
He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we
were healed. He is God of our strength for
spiritual. He's God of our strength for our physical. And no
matter which one you need of it, move up to the breast and take a hold of it,
God's Word, and go to nursing from It, you'll come back to health and strength.
The strength of the Holy Ghost lays in
God's promise...?... Take up there one time and take a hold.
Brother, I'll tell you; you see a little baby crawl up in his
mammy's arms, he's just as satisfied. I don't care how his little tummy's a
hurting; it's all right as long as he's nursing from mammy.
ABRAHAM_ MACON.GA WEDNESDAY_
55-0608
E-43And I'm telling you, a
believer that once takes a hold of God's eternal Word for a promise, if
anything come or goes, he's satisfied.He's
laying right there, nursing away, pulling the strength right out of God. "By
His stripes we were healed. "Wounded for our transgression; with His
stripes we're healed," pulling down the blessings of God,
satisfied as he's laying there.
ABRAHAM_MACON.GAWEDNESDAY_55-0608
*AND GOD, WHEN HE GAVE HIS PEOPLE THE BEST THING THAT HE COULD TO COMBAT
SATAN WITH, WAS HIS WORD.
THE.CONTEST_JEFF.INV-10 N-7MONDAY_62-1231
10Now, this great contest has been going on
for many years. It started in heaven, and Satan was kicked out into the earth,
and then he become a enemy to God's people. And since then, he's used all of
his strength and his strategy to try to pull God's people across the fires, or,
into his fires.
And we know that Who has the most power: God does. And
God, when He gave His people the best Thing that He could to combat Satan with,
was His Word. Now, because the Word is God, and who's stronger than God? So the Word is God, and the Word becomes our Strength. God in
the church, becomes its Strength to pull Satan to his own fires that he has
made. And the tug goes on.
THE.CONTEST_JEFF.INV-10 N-7MONDAY_62-1231
12Now, Jesus said, in Mark 16, "In My Name
they shall cast out devils."Now,
I know that's an old saying that people--or, there is an old saying that... And
it's not so old either. People don't believe in demons in this day. But the
thing to do, to my opinion, is know your enemy. And--and know your enemy, and train for the contest that you're
going to have when you meet him, because you're going to meet him.And know him, know his, know what his
strength is, and then train for this contest when you do meet him. For it's
one thing sure, you're going to meet him. And so you train for the contest.
Now, training for a contest is just like a boxer. His--his
enemy that he's going to meet out there in a contest to fight, a real good
fighter usually knows and studies his opponents, studies his licks, knows where
he fights for, whether he leans forward, hangs back, fights right-handed or
left-handed. He studies all this.And then if he's a
good, smart fighter, he gets him a sparring partner that'll fight just like his
opponent fights, for he'll know all of his licks when he gets to that place.
THE.CONTEST_JEFF.INV-10 N-7MONDAY_62-1231
14And I think that's a very good
thing for Christians to do. That's right. And now if you want to start
training, start with John 3:16, the Golden Rule. Start right out with that, and
that'll get you on the floor.And then train for the--for the knockout punches,
because you're going to have to use them. Everybody knows that. You have to train to
hit your enemy. And always, God uses His Word.We must
remember that God uses His Word to defeat His enemy.If God could think or could've give His
people anything better to defeat the enemy with, He would've done it.So as I've always said, "When God makes a decision,
that's the best that there is. He never has to alter His decisions."So the first decision God gave His people in
the garden of Eden to combat the enemy, was His Word. They were fortified with
His Word.
THE.CONTEST_JEFF.INV-10 N-7MONDAY_62-1231
15 And now, the enemy is going to study the--our a-strategy
with the Word. And
now, Satan studied that all out so perfectly, till when he come to Eve, he had
the--the best a-strategy he could use upon her, and that was to reason with the
Word. Now, you never want to reason
with God's Word. Just believe It. Don't try to explain It. Don't try to figure
It out.Now, you cannot figure out
God, so God is the Word, and It's just made to believe.And that's our
Strength, just accept the Word. And anyone knows that a seed in the right kind
of ground will produce its kind. And we just take the Word.
22-1007A_THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED PT.10 (BODY IS CHRIST, WHICH IS THE ROYAL SEED)
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.
1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1Pe 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1Pe 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1Pe 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1Pe 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 3:11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Gal 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Rom 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Rom 4:2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Rom 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Rom 4:10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Rom 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
Rom 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Rom 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Rom 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Rom 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Rom 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Rom 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Rom 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
Rom 4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Rom 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Rom 4:23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Rom 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Rom 4:25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
FAITH SEED
But then come the real faith Seed, the Royal Seed of
Abraham, Jesus, a promise. Abraham had Isaac, true, after the flesh. But the real Seed wasn't in that organization system, It was
in that promise of God's Word, that He'd make him a father of nations, not
through Isaac but through the Royal Seed, Jesus. That was the Royal Seed which... Actually, the seed
of Abraham... Jesus was not a Jew, neither was He a Gentile. He was God.
*PREDESTINATED AS HE WAS, MAKES THE WORD
SEED FLESH IN YOU, HIS CHURCH.GOD'S WORD...
37-2 All right. Predestinated
as He was, makes the Word Seed flesh in you, His church.God's Word...You say, "Sure, Brother Branham, every Word, I believe It." Then
don't back up when you get your tradition. See? Stay
right with that Word, and stay with that; watch what happens.
Say, "Oh, Lord, I believe It. Send the Holy Spirit." Then watch. Then if He goes to bearing
record, then you know you got It, not by some sensation; the devils do that;
not by some miracles, the devils do that; but by your constant belief in the Word of God and the life
that you live, never denying nothing. All right, that makes the Word becoming flesh (See?), flesh and the
same water, Spirit.
*BUT THE FAITH SEED OF ABRAHAM THAT HE
BELIEVED GOD'S WORD REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES WAS…
37-3 Now, wait a minute. I can't pass this by. See, Jesus was the Seed of Abraham (fleshly speaking... Is that
right?), a predestinated Seed of Abraham.And when the Spirit fell on Him, what
kind of a Life did He bring? He brought a faith
life. What kind of a life?
"You mean He was going to be a sojourner like
Abraham?"
That's where people
get so mixed up today. They try to think that a man of God has to do this,
and follow this, and do that. Oh
mercy, no. What was--how was Christ the Seed of Abraham? Not in His, so much in His body, 'cause
Isaac, that seed of Isaac, finally fell and died.It backslid and hybrid
too. We'll get to it directly. See? But the faith seed of Abraham that he believed God's Word
regardless of what the circumstances was... There you are. Whew. You
know, I feel like shouting. Look. See,
look, the faith seed of Abraham... What was it? Not Abraham's body, but Abraham's faith.Abraham's faith
in what? The
Word of God. No matter what come, he called anything contrary to It as though
it wasn't even there. Oh, me, wouldn't that rip these
denominations to pieces? Umph, umph, umph, umph. It sure would.
E-32 When we know this, that the only thing we have to do to inherit any of
God's promises is to stay put on God's Word, let nothing shake you from It...
Now notice, He perfectly typed Abraham and his
seed after him.And I'm going to follow the junctions of Abraham's life,
and then follow the junctions of Abraham's seed, and see if God kept His Word
letter-by-letter.
Now, Abraham we know that there's
only one way that we can be saved and that is being in the covenant with
Abraham, because it was made to Abraham.
But the Bible said, "We being in Christ, we being dead in Christ take on
Abraham's seed and are heirs with Abraham."Is that right? Now, Christ is the royal Seed of Abraham.Out of Abraham
come Isaac, out of Isaac come Jacob, out of Jacob come Joseph, out of Joseph,
so forth on down, David, David on--on, so-and-so, till
finally the royal Seed was born which was Christ, and in Christ made Abraham,
the father of all nations.And
the Abrahamic covenant is confirmed to the people un--or given to the people
unconditionally.
*WHEN THE--WHEN THE WATER, SPIRIT, FALLS
ON THE WORD SEED, THE ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH IN GOD'S WORD WILL PRODUCE
THE SAME KIND OF A CROP.
* CHRIST WAS PREDESTINATED. HE WAS A ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM
38-4 All right. Predestinated as he was, makes the Word Seed the same
water on what? This
church today is a Bride predestinated? Did God say He would have a Bride
without spot or wrinkle? Then
it's predestinated, isn't it? See? Well, Christ was predestinated. He was a Royal Seed of Abraham,
and what did it do? When the Spirit come on Christ, He bore record of the Word of
God, and when the--when the Water, Spirit, falls on the Word Seed, the Royal
Seed of Abraham's faith in God's Word will produce the same kind of a crop.
*WHAT IS THE SEED OF ABRAHAM? THOSE THAT
BELIEVE THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD REGARDLESS OF WHAT DENOMINATION OR PAPA OR MAMA
OR ANYBODY ELSE SAYS; THEY BELIEVE THE WHOLE WORD OF GOD.
39-2 What is the seed of Abraham now? Not his flesh. Paul said Jew--that Jew outward is not Jew; Jew
inwardly. See? What is the seed of Abraham? Those that believe the whole Word of God
regardless of what denomination or papa or mama or anybody else says; they
believe the whole Word of God.God said, "I'll establish my covenant
right now (predestinate) this covenant with thee and with the seed in each
generation after thee that will believe it." There you are--seed of
Abraham. Now, you say... Now
watch, God said, "I
will establish it with the seed."
41-1 Who did it?God. When did He do it? Before the foundation of the world.Then if we come in a illegitimate birth through Eve's corruption,
making us all her children and subject to death, then the sovereign God has to
make a way to redeem His children,"And all the
Father hath given Me will come to Me. And no man can come unless My Father
draws him."Oh, my. Now,
where's your great big thing you done? You
never done nothing.You ought
to be ashamed. God, Who done all things... The wheel's a working just right.
Someone come the other
day, said somebody had said something bad about me and--and accused me of
something that was wrong. And I said, "Oh forget it."
Said, "How can
you take it like that? That involves your family. That..."
I said, "Oh,
my." I said, "That
was predestinated before the foundation of the world to give me a trial. I
said, "Why, my, my, my. Sure, so that's all right."
Said, "How do you
do it?"
I said, "If I
looked right down this way, I'd be falling all the time."
*YOU'RE GOD'S LIVING WORD,
REPRESENTATIVES OF HIM HERE ON EARTH (THAT'S RIGHT.), CONTINUING THE WORK.
42-3 All right. So believers of the
Word and Spirit must be One. You get it? Believers, the Word, and the Spirit are
absolutely One.You don't do your own
thinking; you don't use your own mind. Isn't that wonderful? The mind that's in Christ is in you.
See? The mind's
in Christ in you will take the Word just like He did, 'cause He was the Word.And the mind of Christ in you, you are
the Word.You're
God's living Word, representatives of Him here on earth (That's right.),
continuing the work.The
church should be that way.
And when so, the Bible
is manifested again like in the early days of the disciples, just like the
disciples. The
Bible is living again in you.
BUT THE SPIRITUAL,
ROYAL SEED OF GOD THAT BELIEVES, THE ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM WHICH BELIEVES EVERY
WORD OF GOD
108 The Spirit that was in Him is on you, Eternal Life. He is the giver of
Eternal Life. He's a Redeemer, to bring back that which fell in the fall, in
the human race, to bring back to God. And the Spirit that was in Christ is in
you. And if the spirit of a--of a Dillon was in me, I'd have guns. If the
spirit of an artist was in me, I'd paint pictures. If the Spirit of Christ is
in you, the works of Christ you'll do. Amen. That's right. The Life that was in
Him is in you.

111 But the spiritual,
Royal Seed of God that believes, the Royal Seed of Abraham which believes every
Word of God, there is a confirmation of a living, resurrected Jesus Christ in
them. Amen. Amen.
Oh, my! See, the same thing it was, the whole Church much be relation.
BODY IS CHRIST, WHICH
IS THE ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM, AND HEIRS TO EVERYTHING THAT'S IN IT.

76 You know, it's like I said, a big arcade,
for we're baptized into that arcade. By one Spirit we're
all baptized into one Body, and that Body is Christ, which is the Royal Seed of
Abraham, and heirs to everything that's in it. Amen. Everything that was in God, God
poured into Christ; everything that was in Christ, He poured into the believer.
Amen. God above us, God with us, and God in us! Everything,
every promise in the Book, is yours if you can believe it, if you have faith
enough to accept it and believe it.
*AND THE ROYAL SEED OF ABRAHAM IS THE BELIEVERS, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS
THE WORD, AND IS THE ELECTED.
83 Jesus said, in Luke, the 17th chapter, when in
the last days (God in sundry times speaking by the prophets, in the last days
by His Son), now watch, He said, "In the time when the Son of man is
being revealed."Watch, "revealed,"
made known in this last days before the end time, when the Son of
man is being revealed, this setting of Sodom will return again. "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it
be at the coming of the Son of man, when He is being revealed, made known to
the Church, to the Elect (not to Sodom or the Sodomites, or the
ones down in Sodom), to the Elected." Abraham was the
Elected. And the royal Seed of Abraham is the believers, through Christ Jesus
the Word, and is the Elected. And when the Son of man is being revealed,
that setting would be again.

E-35 Well, the Christian, the
believer, is sowed with the incorruptible Word of God, how can It produce
anything else? See? That's it. When it gets in there, it... The Holy Spirit
comes in on the Word of God that's sunk deep in your heart; It'll water It, and
It'll grow out, and you'll just... Automatically, you won't desire... As I said
last night you won't have to take the leaves off the tree; the new life pushes
out and takes the old leaf off. It makes you live a different person.
E-10 Now, a
righteous man is not a sinless man. For you notice he said, "Elijah was a
man subject to like passions as we are." He had his ups-and-downs and his
differences. And the Scripture of his life proves that he had his ups-and-downs
like we do. And he had his times of wondering and his times that his temper got
away from him, and he had a lot of things, that went wrong. But he was still a
righteous man, because he confessed his unworthiness and believed in God. So
that's what made him righteous.
We're not righteous within ourselves; we're righteous
through Jesus Christ. I cannot be sanctified within myself; I am sanctified
through Jesus Christ Who stands in the--in the Presence of God in my place. It
isn't my holiness; it's His holiness. My holiness won't work at all, but His
does. Because God done accepted Him. And in accepting Him He had to accept me,
because I'm in Him. Amen. That's what makes it real isn't it. Then we don't
have to depend on ourself.
Now, that doesn't make us say we can sin. Brother, if you
sin, you're just--you're just away from God. That's all. There's only one thing
to do, is confess it and get right with God. As long as you desire to sin, the
desire of sin's still in your heart, then it's time to stay down at the altar
till that thing's taken out.
Now you will sin. You're bound to sin 'cause you just can't
help it, but not willful sin. "He that sins willfully after he receive the
knowledge of the truth (See?), there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin."
But every day you're bound to sin.
E-11 And you're bound to be
backsliding constantly, so it takes a constant prayer to God. Paul said,
"I die daily." And if Paul had to die daily, how much more am I
going--I'm going to have to stay there dead all the time, if--if Paul had to
die daily to stay right with God. And so, we'll all have to do that, just die
out to ourself. And that's getting God's way.
E-45 Did you ever
walk out of the morning in that real fresh, cool feeling? God has refreshed His
earth. Fragrance, did you ever go into a rose garden? Down my place they got a
lot of honeysuckles. The honeysuckle don't smell much along in the heat of the
day, but it's early of the morning, when all the air has been purified, then
that aroma of the honeysuckle... Let a man be out fussing, fighting, stewing,
and you'll never get much of aroma from that of the gospel, but let him get
alone one time in the stillness of God.
Every man that comes to the pulpit ought to dwell alone
first. Then comes the fruits, yielding forth it's fruits. Every man that stays
in the Presence of God, into this great secret place, hid away will yield the
fruits of righteousness, peace, love, joy, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness,
patience. Don't fuss about these other things. Get that in your life, and
you'll never get it until you hide away with God into that land of adoption.
8-7 Into this holy place Aaron went once a
year. The congregation watched him. He was dressed right. He had to be
anointed right. He had to walk right. Blessed be the Lord. Dressed
right, walk right, anointed right: he had a bell and a pomegranate on his
garment. And as he walked, they played, "Holy, holy, holy, unto the
Lord."
He taken before him a charger of blood, the blood of the
lamb, the blood of the atonement; and he was anointed with the Rose of Sharon,
and the anointing rolled off his beard plumb to the hems of his skirt. He was
walking into the inner court in the presence of God; and when he went behind
there, the veil fell behind him, and he was shut out. He was hid from the outer
world. Praise be to God. There is a hiding place, abiding place.
19-1 We can walk in the Presence of
God, and be hid from the things of this world. You don't hear them no more.
It's sound proof (Hallelujah.)--sound proof. The world's on the outside,
gasping and looking; but you're on the inside in the Presence of the eternal
everlasting God, eating from this manna that'll last for spans of years,
hundreds of years. It's never contaminated; neither did it give out.
And a man that once walked into God, and the veil drops
behind him, shutting off the things of the world, he's in the Presence of God,
eating the manna. No wonder twelve o'clock, nine o'clock, or anything, he's
living in the Presence of the King. Amen. No wonder every day's fine for him.
See; look where he's at. He's found the secret place. He's went behind the
veil. The doors is closed behind him. He don't see nothing of the world. Them
doors was made sound proof by sheepskins, and goatskins; and this is made sound proof by the baptism of the Holy
Spirit that hides a man in Christ; there he becomes a new creature and he walks
daily before Him in this manner.
19-4 What a beautiful picture of the
believer in the Presence of God. All things are His then. All things was given
to Christ. All that God was, He poured into Christ. All Christ was poured into
the church. "That day you'll know that I'm in the Father, the Father in
Me, and I in you." Oh, the privilege that the believer has, if they only
could accept it.
Psa 116:1 I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Psa 116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
Psa 116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Psa 116:4 Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Psa 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
Psa 116:6 The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Psa 116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
Psa 116:8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
Psa 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Psa 116:10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
Psa 116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
Psa 116:12 What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
Psa 116:13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:14 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Psa 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Psa 116:16 O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
Psa 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
Psa 116:18 I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
Psa 116:19 In the courts of the LORD'S house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
