A
Seed for Every Season #2
Proverbs 16: 15 In the light of the Kings Presence is Life, and His favor
is as the Cloud in the Latter rain.
Prayer
Sunday morning we examined pps.
225 through 233 where brother Branham made the following
statements. By one Spirit." The Spirit of God, which is the Life-giver to the Word (the
Seed), to vindicate that Seed for that season. See?" He said further that " it takes the Holy Spirit to make that
seed come to life " and "But
by one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body," and that Body is a family, the family of God.
My family... gathered in there under
the Blood... My children, borned of My genes!" "My
genes are in them! I put My Word in them" ..."And if you was just baptized in water right, and then deny the Word, then you're illegitimate; your birth wasn't correct. You
claim that you believed Him then, and you deny Him. ... A blood test on the door shows it. Uh-huh. And finally he
culminated his thought here by saying, " My action, and the vindication or manifestation of God's Word in my
life shows whether I'm a child of God or not. Now, there's God's only
place. See it? The only place that God will receive your sacrifice (I don't
care how sincere you are) is in Christ.
Now that
is quite a dynamic statement because what he is telling you here that no matter
what you claim to believe, if it does not show in your Life, if there is no
manifestation of His Word for the season in your Life then you do not have God
- Life, but your new birth has only been of a corruptible type.
1 Peter 1: 23 (read) This
word here "corruptible" is a Greek word "phthartos"
which means something that is liable to decay or perish and the root word is "Phtheiro" (fthi-ro)
which means a destroying by means of corrupting, ( in other words, death -
doomed) being brought into an inferior
or worse condition, and refers to the withdrawal of life.
But the word "incorruptible" that we see here is a Greek
word "Apthartos" which basically means just the
opposite. Something that can not perish or decay. A condition as of the resurrected body which is associated with
Glory, Honor, and Life.
And so we took five points in our message to you from these
statements of Brother Branham.
#1 ) There is a Seed for every season.
"There is a Seed for every season" We saw that a Seed is a carrier of Life. And
it speaks of predestination, because everything that seed will ever manifest in
it's life cycle it already has in it. Every attribute, every characteristic, every expression.
That is why a seed is the purest form of predestination.
Mark 4: 14 The Sewer seweth the Word.
& Luke
John 1: 1 - 4, In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with
God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that
was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended
it not. notice
verse 5 darkness does not comprehend it. ( katalambano = to take eagerly, to seize upon and possess,
to apprehend and comprehend. Here we are talking about Life and it says, that darkness will not seize upon it, they won't
apprehend it.
Now always remember this, When ever this Bible speaks of a Bible
principle it will always speak of it in terms of Twins.
Cain and Abel,
Blessings and Cursings, Life and Death.
And here in the Book of John as well as in 1 Peter we see Life and death. Twins. Children of
light seek Life, others death.
In the Book of John
we see on the One hand children of the Light coming to the Light, but on the
other hand we see children of darkness fleeing from the Light.
John 6: 63 - 66 Now
I want you to notice before we read that in verse 63 we hear Jesus speaking to
them that His Word is Life. But watch what John reveals to us in verse 64 - 66.
Let's read. "It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak
unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. But there are some of you that believe not.
For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who
should betray Him. And He said, "Therefore, said I unto you, that no man
can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time
many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him." Notice how that just after He
informed them Eternal Life is in His Word, they left. Now how is this possible
except for what Jesus said, You just won't be able to
follow me and take it all unless you are ordained of God to do so.
So we see as 1 Peter said, some are ordained to Life
and others are ordained to condemnation.
Acts
Life.
Jude 1: 4 (read) condemnation here comes from a Greek
word whose root word is Krino which means to be
separated from and which in a negative sense is the judgment passed down from a
Judge.
1 Corinthians 11: 29 - 30
Notice the
effect of the judgment. Many are weak and sickly among you. We see here that as
we saw in 1 Peter
Now, remember, Brother Branham said there is a Seed for
every Season. And we also saw that God will cause His Light which is His Word
to Quicken the Seed that is meant for the Season.
#2)
God sends His Spirit forth to quicken that Seed.
#3)
When this Seed manifests who it is, this manifestation of the Seed
vindicates that this
Seed was indeed for this Season.
#4)
This manifestation of the Seed-life by being
quickened by the Word for the season, is the
evidence or vindication that the Seed is God's
Seed.
#5)
All other Seeds will not be quickened to Life
but will reject the Word for the season.
Not the Word but the True understanding of it.
Now this evening I do not want to just repreach what you heard Sunday although this is a very
important subject and Faith cometh by
hearing and teaching is most effective through repetition. But I want you to
see how these principles or points I have brought to you are so very important
to you. Your Life depends on knowing this. We are dealing with Life when we are
speaking of the Word of God for the Season. Remember, we are looking at what
God brought to us through His Own prophet that He raised up in this hour and
used His lips to speak through when He said,
"By one Spirit." The Spirit of God, which is the
Life-giver to the Word (the Seed), to vindicate that Seed for that
season. " it
takes the Holy Spirit to make that seed come to life "and
" My action, and the vindication or
manifestation of God's Word in my life shows whether I'm a child of God or not."
Now notice how in Genesis we see how necessary it was
in order for Life to begin, it took the actions of the Spirit of God to set up
an atmosphere that was conducive to Life"
Genesis
Now, as we began with 1 Peter
1 Peter 1: 23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth
and abideth for ever." Now, as I said earlier, this word "corruptible"
is a Greek word "phthartos" which means
something that is liable to decay or perish and the root word is "Phtheiro" (fthi-ro)
which means a destroying by means of corrupting, ( in other words, death -
doomed) being brought into an inferior
or worse condition, and refers to the withdrawal of life.
But the word "incorruptible" that we see here is a Greek
word "Apthartos" which basically means just the
opposite. Something that can not perish or decay. A condition as of the resurrected body which is associated with
Glory, Honor, and Life.
So we are again studying the effects of the Word of God upon us. Life to those who receive it and death to those who do not. Blessings to one and cursings to the
other.
Psalm 1: 1 - 6 Blessed [is]
the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The
ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. For the LORD knoweth the
way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. (They are
left to themselves and since they have no life in them, they can't help but to
perish.) Notice how the Lord leaves those without Life, to themselves, but He
takes an active participation in the ones Who are
Seed.
2 Thessalonians 2: 10 - 14 (read) Them that perish, or in the act of perishing. The Life is
going out like a broken cistern.
Deuteronomy 32: 1 -5 Give ear, O
ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My
doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the
small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I
will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. [He is]
the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his ways [are] judgment: a God of
truth and without iniquity, just and right [is] he. They have corrupted
themselves, their spot [is] not [the spot] of his children: [they are] a
perverse and crooked generation.
Hebrews 6: 4 - 8 For it is
impossible for those who have been once for enlightened, those who have tasted
of the Heavenly gift and have been made companions of the Holy Ghost Himself
being brought alongside and made aware of His presence, by tasting the goodness
of God's Vindicated Word and have been exposed to the Powers of the coming age, having fallen away
and deviated from the truth, it is impossible for them to ever come to a change
of the mind again, seeing that they have crucified themselves along with the
Son of God, and have subjected Him to
public disgrace. Now catch carefully what Paul says right
after this... For the land that
drinks in the rain (doctrine) that often falls upon it and that produces a crop that is useful to
those who have sewn it ( And who did the sewing?, the Son of Man) it is this
land which produces the crop which receives the blessings from God. But the
land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless to the one who sewed the
land and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. One
produces a crop because it has life and the other has no life therefore can not
produce a crop.
2 John 8 - 9 Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have
wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He
that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both
the Father and the Son. Do not loose
that which we have sewn for, you must abide in the doctrine to reap.
Matthew 13: 10 - 17 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said
unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever
hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever
hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and
hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the
prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall
hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not
perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with
[their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their]
heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed [are] your
eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous [men] have desired to see
[those things] which ye see, and have not seen [them]; and to hear [those
things] which ye hear, and have not heard [them].
1 John 3: 1 - 3 Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
2 Corinthians 3: 18 Behold, what
manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the
sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not
yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
Colossians 3: 4 When Christ,
[who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also
appear with him in glory.
