20 So these disciples had been chosen of God. Did you notice, Jesus told them, "Before the foundation of the world," He chose them, and they were an ordained seed of God. That's why when the troubles come up, and the people looked like had Jesus in the corner, on a question, there was no question to them. They couldn't understand it, but they were determined to know nothing else but Him. "Thou only has the Word of Life." And they were determined to stay with It, because they were ordained to that office.

21 And so is it today, that men and women, who are ordained to Eternal Life, will come to Eternal Life. "All the Father has given Me will come to Me." That's His Word, and that cannot fail. It's--it's God's Word.

64-0308 THE.TOKEN_ DALLAS.TX V-19 N-12 SUNDAY_

147 A seal of promise! Ephesians 4:30 says, "Grieve not the Holy Ghost of God, whereby you are sealed until the day of your redemption." Not till the next revival. "Until the day of your redemption!" Being baptized into It, according to First Corinthians 12. And in Him is the fulness, and no sin is recognized in Him. "He that's borned of God, does not commit sin. The seed of God remains in him, and he cannot sin." How can he, when the Token is there? The Token is the sign he has been accepted.

148 And, well, you say, "I sin." Well, then you never had the Token. See?

149 The Token is the barrier, shows that the price is paid. If Satan tries to hand it to you... Just think of this. If Satan tries to hand you some sickness, or tries to hand you something, you know what to do? Show him your Token. Sure, sickness strikes the Christian. Show him your Token, and prove to him that you're a purchased product of God. "Resist the devil, and he'll flee from you." Hold the Token over your unmovable faith in His promised Word.

64-0311 GOD.IS.IDENTIFIED.BY.HIS.CHARACTERISTICS

84 Look at the world today. If it ain't a common Sodom and Gomorrah, I never seen one. Sodom and Gomorrah! Look at the church, like Lot sitting there and just grieving his righteous soul as he seen the sins of Sodom. A many a minister sitting in his... A fine man sitting in his study, getting up his text and so forth, look out on the street and seeing women with shorts on, and immorality and things, and things going on like that, he can't say nothing about it, his organization would put him out. Lot didn't have the audacity to stand up for That which was right, so is the modern Sodom and Gomorrah today.

85 But there are some of those who are outside of Sodom, that's borned out there, not by the will of man, but by the will of God and the Seed of God. Watch the identification there, not just the preaching, but the sign identified the Word of God made flesh in a man. The setting returns back just as it was, and it's exactly that day. Everything is perfect, everything setting right in line. Wish we had time to continue on it a few minutes, but we haven't, so we'll hurry. The setting is to be replaced again in the last days.

64-0402 JEHOVAH.JIREH.1_ LOUISVILLE.MS THURSDAY_

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 must be relation.

112 When it was typed in the natural seed, look, Isaac and Rebekah were first cousins, blood relation, same fathers; see, fathers was brothers, made them blood cousins, the bride and the bridegroom.

113 And in Adam and Eve, it was all Adam, to begin with. God took a rib from his side and made a woman, and He took the feminish spirit out of Adam and put it in a woman.

64-0816 PROVING.HIS.WORD_ JEFFERSONVILLE.IN V-9 N-6 SUNDAY_

143 You understood that, did you? See, the earth is cursed. The whole earth is cursed, because of Adam's sin. But when this little seed... Now, the woman doesn't have a seed. She has a field that the seed lays in, not a seed, 'cause there's not no germ, germ has to... a seed has to have life in it. If it isn't, it's just a material, the life isn't there. So the seed is in the man. That's the reason the serpent's seed had to be in the woman, see, because it wasn't the seed of God. We know that. Go ahead, wait till you get this book and read it, and then you'll--you'll see, or just show you by the Scripture, just open the whole thing up just the same as the water baptism in His Name, see how it is. God never is wrong, He's always right. Though you can't understand It, believe It anyhow. It's just exactly the Truth.

144 And now we find out that He--He said this, He caused this to happen. Now, when this little seed, without a man, came into a little egg in the field that He had created, then that little seed, the little germ crawls into the egg, and the little tail wiggles off here and it starts developing a cell after cell, living off of the mother's life, her body, and in there she feeds it through her blood stream. And we find out, now, she feeds it; not its blood; it's her blood. No, not has one speck of the mother's blood. But it feeds from the vitamin stuff from the mother, but not her blood. It's all bound in the bundle of her blood, to keep it from shock and things like that, and the water, but it isn't one speck of the mother's blood. The mother can be dying with TB, and born from the baby; it can't inherit it, because TB's a germ, comes through the blood stream. But she can... he can... Tuberculosis is not inherited; weaknesses is, but not TB, because it has to catch the mother's breath and get the germ, you see, before it can. The baby's perfectly free when it's born, because it's none of the mother's blood.

65-0118 THE.SEED.OF.DISCREPANCY_ PHOENIX.AZ V-12 N-5 MONDAY_

21 Now He said, "The Seed of God, the Word of God." Jesus said, in a certain place, that "The Word is a Seed." And every seed will bring forth of its kind. And now if the Christian, the children of God, the children of the Kingdom has become the Seed of God, then they must be the Word of God, the Word of God manifested in the age that they're living in, for the promised Seed of that age. God gave His Word at the beginning, and each age has had its Seed, its time, its promises.

22 Now, when Noah came on the scene, and he was the Seed of God, the Word of God for that age.

23 When Moses came, he could not come with Noah's message, it wouldn't work, because he was the Seed of God at that time.

24 Then when Christ come, He could not come with Noah or Moses' age; it was His time, for a virgin to conceive and to bring forth a Son, and He would be the Messiah.

34 Notice, their seeds grew together just exactly like God said over here also in the 13th chapter, of our text tonight, of Matthew, "Let them grow together." Now, Cain went to the land of Nod, found himself a wife, and married; and Abel was slew, and God raised up Seth to take his place. And the generations started moving on, between right and wrong. Now, we notice they gathered, each one of them, time after time, and God had to... It got so wicked till God had to destroy it.

35 But they finally came forth until both of those seeds, the seed of discrepancy and the Seed of God, put forth their genuine heads, and that wound up in Judas Iscariot and in Jesus Christ. For, He was the Seed of God, He was the beginning of the creation of God, He was nothing less than God. And Judas Iscariot was borned the son of perdition, come from hell, returned to hell. Jesus Christ was the Son of God, the Word of God made manifest. Judas Iscariot, in his discrepancy, was the seed of the Devil, come to the world, and for deceit; just like he was at the beginning, Cain, his former father.

40 In the first beginning, the first Book of the Bible, God told them not to break one Word of That, "every Word must be kept," they must live by that Word. Jesus, in the middle of the Book, come along and said that in His age, and said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that--that comes out of the mouth of God." And in the closing age of Revelation, foretold to us, that "Whosoever shall take one Word out of the Book, or add one word to It, his part will be taken from the Book of Life."

41 Therefore there can be nothing shadowy, just a genuine, unadulterated Word of God! That's sons of God, daughters of God, who's not born by the will of man, or by shaking a hand, or some form of baptism; but borned in the Spirit of God, by the Holy Ghost, and the Word manifesting Itself through them. That's genuine Seed of God!

65-0120 LEAN.NOT.UNTO.THY.OWN.UNDERSTANDING

99 Now Jesus never sent him a book on how to behave in prison, or what church he should have joined. But He said, "Stay around a little while and watch what happens, and then go show John the things that you have seen and done," because that His works that He did vindicated Him to be the Messiah, the Son of God. "Blessed is he who is not offended in Me."

100 So many have become offended. So many people get offended so easy at the Word of God. It--it's contrary, they want to lean to their own understanding. They don't want to take the Word of the Lord. And they have to go just the way that--that they had been taught to go. And the way that they are taught, their church leans upon it. No matter if God promised He would--He would rain, have rain in the morning, and the church said "that's nonsense," they would believe the church instead of God. Because why? They are born of the church.

101 But a man that's born of God, is of the Seed of God. And the Seed of God is the Word of God, and he only lives by That. That's his Life.

65-0123 BROKEN.CISTERNS

101 A wise man should never look at these things. And know that they won't work. They never have worked. An organized religion and an organized experience will never work in the Presence of God. It's got to come, unadulterated, from God. It has never been used by God, no time in the past that God ever used such a system. Now you, oh, you get members and things like that. But I mean the genuine seed of God, the Blessing like fell on the Day of Pentecost, it never comes by organization; it comes by a birth, being born again.

133 No pumping up; Its power is within itself. It needs no priming, yes, sir, for (Itself) Its Own Life is in Itself. That's the way the seed of God is in a man's heart. The Life of God is within the individual, not in the church. In you, it's in you, you're the one that has the germ of Life in you.

134 Just one taste of It is convincing to all kinds of clergymen. Ask the Catholic priest, ask the Baptist, whatever it is. Just one taste of this great fresh artesian water, I'm telling you, it's convincing that It's the Truth. Your hungry soul, anyhow, it's convincing to the thirster, anyhow. Now if you're not thirsting... This little Baptist, he wasn't thirsting, to begin with; but when he got thirsty, the water tasted awful good. That's right, but you've got to thirst, "the blessed thirst," as Jesus called that. "Blessed are you when you do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for you shall be filled." And Jesus said that, friend. Yes, sir, It's a blessed Fountain to the thirsty.

65-0418M IT.IS.THE.RISING.OF.THE.SUN

54 Now! And then, not only that, He sent Word to His disciples, His believing. "Fear not, for I am He that was dead, and is alive again forevermore. And I have the keys to death and hell; I've already conquered it. Don't fear anymore, for every foreordained, predestinated Seed of God shall come to Life when that Light spreads across the earth, of the glorious Gospel. In every age, It'll bring forth the crop that God ordained It to do." He had raised from the dead.

55 Oh, what a wonderful thing that is, "I am alive, or quickened." The word means, the word quickened, the Greek word means that's something that's "made alive after death."

56 Like the--the seed that goes into the earth, it has to die, every bit of the seed. It has to rot, every bit of the seed. And every bit of the life, that was in the seed, has to come forth again.

57 He was "quickened." Not only that. "And will send the same Life that quickened Me, the Power that brought Me from the grave, I will send It upon you, to quicken you, that where I am there ye will be also."

58 In Luke, 24th chapter, 49th verse. He said, "Behold, I send the promise of the Father upon you; but tarry ye, or wait ye, in the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with Power from on High." To show that not only did He draw all the benefits out of it, but He shared those benefits.

59 He come to redeem, or to bring to Life, those predestinated Seed that God seen before the foundation of the world and put their names in the Book of Life. And here they are on the earth, without a hope; He came not only to be the Blessing, but to share the Blessing with every predestinated Seed. Now, if the Seed wasn't on the earth, it could not live. It had to be on the earth, and also germitized. No matter how long It's kept in darkness, It'll come forth when the S-o-n shines upon It. Notice now, He come to share It with us.

65-0725E WHAT.IS.THE.ATTRACTION.ON.THE.MOUNTAIN

94 That's what the attraction is. The predestinated Seed of God who can't do nothing else but follow It, means more than life to us. Take our lives, but you don't take That. What is the attraction? God, as usual, fulfilling His Word. He is fulfilling the Word of Zechariah again, of prophet Zechariah.

95 Where I read the 9th verse a while ago, when Jesus entered His temple, riding... or entered Jerusalem, riding on a little, white donkey, the prophecy was fulfilled that Zechariah said. Here It is, "Rejoice greatly, O daughters of Zion. Shout, O daughters of Jerusalem. Behold, thy King is coming unto thee; He is just, and having salvation; lowly, riding upon an ass, and upon the colt the foal of an ass." That's what the attraction was at Jerusalem, at the religious headquarters.

96 Now we see a last-day happening! Let's just turn a few pages on, in Zechariah, and see what he said about it. Let's turn it over then for the last days. That was the middle age; let's turn now to the last days. And turn over to Zechariah, the 14th chapter, and beginning with the 4th verse. And listen! And we're going to read down a portion of the Scripture, about nine verses, from 4 to 9. Listen close. And it's prophesying of His Coming, the last days. Listen close now. This is THUS SAITH THE LORD. It's the Scriptures, Zechariah 14. Remember Zechariah 9, what It said? And they didn't recognize It. Now what is it today? Zechariah 14, speaking of His Coming.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, again, which is before Jerusalem on the east, on the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof towards the east and towards the west, and there shall be a very great valley;... half of the mountain shall be moved towards the north, and half... towards the south.

And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach from Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like you fled in the days of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah the king of Judah:...

97 Another earthquake splitting open the earth! If you want to follow out a Scripture here, notice in this 5th verse, it applies that the cleaving of the Mount of Olives is due to an earthquake, and this is confirmed by Isaiah 29:6 and Revelation 16:9. Exactly! What is it? The same prophet told of His first coming, seen His second Coming. Notice, "As in the days of the earthquake." See what the earthquakes are doing? See the predictions of them?

... and the LORD your God shall come, and all of his saints with thee.

And it shall come to pass in that day, (hallelujah) in that day, that the light shall not be clear, or dark:
