Masterpiece 65

The Original Seed and the season

May 21st, 2006

Pastor, Brian Kocourek

 

This morning we will return back to our study of the Message of Brother Branham’s called, “The Masterpiece”. This will be number 65 in our series. Let’s pick up at paragraph 110 and read through 113.

 

THE MASTERPIECE 64-0705  110 Now, He's doing the same thing in His never-changing method. We find out in Malachi 3, He said, "I'm God, and I change not." He cannot change His method. 111. Now, as He started in Abraham... After the fall of the first masterpiece,(He’s talking about the first Adam here who was the first man that God Created in his image) After the fall of the first masterpiece, He started in Abraham, on a foundation, to build another masterpiece. He started on the day of Pentecost to build another Masterpiece, the original seed Word, started in the first Church. What was it? The seed Word, the Word manifested, the promise that had been given. Joel said, "It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions," what He would do in the last days: two, last two thousand years.  112 Notice. And it started out as the original.

 

What started out as the original? The End-Time Masterpiece did. And how did the original come? By the Spoken Word. Then how will this End-Time Masterpiece come? By the Spoken Word. The Shout of God. The Message. The Doctrine, which is the Word for the hour.

 

In the beginning was the Word. John 1:1 And in Genesis 1 we read, “And God said, let every Seed bring forth after it’s kind.” The spoken Word is the Original Seed.  And then God said, “Let us make man after our Image”. For every seed must come forth after it’s kind, that is the law of reproduction. That is the Law of Life.

 

Now in getting back to paragraph 112 we hear brother Branham say, As Jesus said, "The Word of God is a Seed that a sower sowed." And He was the Sower. The Seed was the Word. And notice. Any seed that abides alone never does nothing. It's got to fall into the ground to bring forth its production again.

In pp. 225 of God’s Only Provided Place of worship Brother Branham said, " I Corinthians 12 says, "By one Spirit." Spirit of God, which is the Life-giver to the Word (the Seed), to vindicate that Seed for that season. See?"

Again in pp. 226 he spoke of the different moves of the Holy Spirit through the church ages and he said, " it taken the Holy Spirit to make that seed come to life " and purify the church by sanctification;

Then again he said in pp. 227 "But by one Spirit we're all baptized into one Body," and that Body is a family, the family of God.

Again in pp. 229 he reemphasized this thought and said in quoting God's Word, "I have chose to put My Name at the door of the house of My worship, for My family will be gathered in there under the Blood; like it was in Egypt, anything outside died. And in there, there's no leavened bread! There's no denominational mixture in It anywhere, My house! My children, borned of My genes!" Amen! Glory to God! "My genes are in them! I put My Word in them. I will write them upon the tables of their heart. That's My family, the family of the Body of Jesus Christ; the family.

Then in pp. 231 - 233 He said, "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. How could I deny my family? When... How could I deny Charles Branham being my father? A blood test on the door shows it. Uh-huh. My action, and the vindication 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 what I would like to draw from these statements is this.

#1 ) There is a Seed for every season.

What do we mean, "a seed for every season?" Well first we must ask ourselves what we mean by the word seed. What is a seed? Webster says it is the "source, origin, or beginning of anything. A carrier of Life.

"There is a Seed for every season" What is a seed? 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.

I remember years ago teaching my children on predestination, and I likened it to a seed. If you plant watermelon seed, you should expect to get watermelon. Nothing more, nothing less. 

I would like to add to that that something Br. Vayle’s said to me concerning the Bride of Christ. He said, "the bride must come to a place where they have no contrary thought from what was vindicated and revealed to us. We won't go back to previous thoughts that were in error, but we immediately go to God thoughts"

Luke 1: 19 - 20 And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou Believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

Now, in Mark 4: 14 we read,  The Sewer seweth the Word. And in Luke 8: 11 we read,  The Word of God is a seed. And notice as a seed it contains life.

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. ( that word is katalambano which means, 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.

John 6: 63 - 66 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. Notice how that just after He informed them Eternal Life is in His Word, they left.

Genesis 1: 11 (read) 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 Now before the Seed was sowed and planted, the ground had be made ready. In reading the Scriptures from Genesis 1: 1-11, we notice, that first came forth Light by the spoken word, then next came forth water by the spoken word, and then came Life.

Now in Scripture we know that light represents the Word as we have already seen, and so does water. 1 - 10 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 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. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 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. And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good.

Now the seed life can not come forth until that seed has been sown and then that light comes upon it. And the scripture tells us the seed must be sewn and the form it eventually takes is not what was sewn, but the life in that seed will bring forth after the nature of the original life that is in the seed.

1 Corinthians 15: 37 - 44 But some will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

In Matthew 13: 36 - 43 we hear Jesus tell us about the sewing of the seed, and that there is a season in which it is to be sewn. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Again we see a seed being sewn at a specific season in which case this is marked out as being the end of the world. So we must have a season. A sewing season and a reaping or harvest season.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

So if everything has a season, we must ask ourselves this question? What season are we in? What is my season? Why am I here? What is my end?

1 Peter 1: 3 - 7 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: now notice verse 5, the WUEST translation says, "You who are constantly being kept guarded by the power of God through Faith, for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in a last season which is epochal and strategic in it's significance. " again notice verse 6 & 7, the trials will produce in you a crop that is in the image of the Life of the Original seed.

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 longside 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.

Psalm 1: 1 - 3 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. So we see here that there is a fruit that is to be brought forth in it's season.

Matthew 21: 33 - 43 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. And they caught him, and cast [him] out of the vineyard, and slew [him]. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out [his] vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Psalm 145 : 15 - 16 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

Galatians 6: 7 - 9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

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 in order to reap.

#2) is that God sends His Spirit forth to quicken that Seed.

1 Peter 3: 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Psalm 119:25 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way. 40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.:50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. :88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.:107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.:149 Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.:154 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.:156 Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.:159 Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

Why? Psalm 80: 18 So we will not go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

He says here, so that we might walk in His word, and come into manifestation of who we really are. Son's and daughters of God Himself. * The Gene Seed of God will come to fruition and God's Word will not be sewn and then come up empty in His predestinated Gene Seed because He is Here to bring all His Word to pass. Phillipians 1: 6 and how does he perform it?

Unrecognized Presence 6-18-64 "working for this One purpose: for you to recognize the Presence of Jesus Christ, See? If He is Present, then, everything is settled. He made the Word, He's here to confirm it." And then He said, "If we could realize that He is Appearing to us in these meetings for one purpose and that's to release our desires that we have in Him back to us. But we've got to recognize His Presence."

1 Corinthians 1: 4 - 10 Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and [in] all knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, [that ye may be] blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God [is] faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you; but [that] ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

Notice He will confirm you by fertilizing the predestinated gene seed. This thought on seed is the best and simplest explanation of predestination that I know, because a seed has everything about it already predetermined in it. It's growth rate, it's response to the light, it's full manifestation of it's attributes and characteristics are already in it by predestination.

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.

Deuteronomy 11: 14 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

Joel 2: 23 - 27 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month]. 24    And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. 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. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. 27 And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Hosea 6: 1 – 3   Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. 3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain unto the earth.

James 5: 7 - 9 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8  Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Notice he speaks of  the season. The early and latter rain is at the time of the Judge.

377-2 A RESUME OF THE AGES – CHURCH AGE BOOK CPT.10 This age started just after the turn of the twentieth century. As it was to be the age in which the true church would return to being the bride she was at Pentecost, we know that there must of necessity be a return of dynamic power. The believers sensed this in their spirits and began crying to God for a new outpouring such as was in the first century. What seemed to be the answer came as many began to speak in tongues and manifest gifts of the Spirit. It was then believed that this was indeed the long awaited RESTORATION. It was not, for the latter rain can come only after the former rain which is the spring or TEACHING rain. The latter rain, then, is the HARVEST rain. Next will come the harvest rain or rapturing faith.

Now, remember if the rain is the doctrine, then the first rain is the teaching of the doctrine and the last rain is the harvest of that teaching of the doctrine. So the doctrine must be sewn first, that first rain gets the seeds planted, then comes along a second rain that gets the seeds ready for the harvest. And God called the rain His Doctrine.

46-1 SPOKEN WORD ORIGINAL SEED 62-0318M Now, watch. Now, remember the word "m-o-u-r-e-h, moureh," means "teaching, the former rain." It says "the moureh rain, the teaching rain," teaching rain went forth. Billy Graham has struck the world. The Pentecostals struck the world, and the Word has struck the world. Now, what's the matter now? She's now waiting for the latter rain. That's when she produces her fruits. Oh, I hope you get it.

64-3 SPOKEN WORD ORIGINAL SEED 62-0318E Someone asked me to repeat that Hebrew word again. In Joel the 2nd chapter (Joel 2:28) where he's speaking of the coming of the former and latter rain, the word "former" is the Hebrew word M-o-u-r-e-h, moureh, which means "teaching." In other words, it'll be a teaching rain and a harvest rain. Now, we've had the teaching rain, and we're ready now for the harvest rain. You know the first rain is when you plant the seed. That starts your crop growing. Then just before it matures, there comes another crop. That's what they call the harvest rain. We know when it is, the spring rains, and then the rains about June, it makes your crop.

54 JEHOVAH JIREH PT 1 62-0705 We've had a revival. Joel said... We fuss so much about latter rain, had movements called latter rain; latter rain, former rain, inner rain, outer rain. I was reading the other day. Do you know what former rain means in the Hebrew word? I can't call it right now; I never wrote it down; it skipped my mind. But "former rain," the first rain, means "a rain of teaching." The second rain is the Spirit that comes upon what's been taught and produces the crop

E-63 END TIME SIGN SEED 62-0319 They've been talking so much about latter rain. Not discarding you latter rain brethren, but that's not latter rain. If the latter rain would've been here, the power of God would've struck that thing, and she'd have swept the world. The latter rain's fixing to come. What's the matter? The church is manufacturing herself something just like Eve tried to do. She tried to have more light to manufacture something. We've done the same thing, trying to make something in ourselves. Keep your hand off of it. Let God do it. Take His Word and believe It. Hold It in your heart. And when the rain begins to fall life will take hold, and the Word will manifest itself.

Romans 8: 1 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Ephesians 2: 1, 5 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins; 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

1 Corinthians 15: 45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.

John 5: 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them]; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. JOHN 6 : 6 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.

1 Timothy 6: 13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and [before] Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

Collosians 2: 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

#3) When this Seed manifests who it is, this manifestation of the Seed  vindicates that this Seed was indeed for this Season.

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.

Noah, Moses, Paul, Wm. Branham all are exoduses

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].

#4) This manifestation of the Seed life comes by being quickened by the Word

for the season, is the evidence that the Seed is God's Seed.

Ephesians 1: 3 - 17 this speaks of the predestinated plan of God and His purpose behind it. Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

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.
  • Collosians 3: 4 When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
  • 1 John 4: 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

#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.

Contrasts Matthew 24: 42 - 51 & Jerimiah 5: 23 - 31 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed [is] that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him], and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Jerimiah 5: 23 - 31 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Your iniquities have turned away these [things], and your sins have withholden good [things] from you. For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. As a cage is full of birds, so [are] their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Shall I not visit for these [things]? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love [to have it] so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?

John 3: 19 - 21 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

In Psalm 1 : 1–6 we read   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. 2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3    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. 4   The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5    Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. notice the two vines...notice the characteristics of non God Seed.

1 Timothy 4: 1 - 2, Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

2 Thessalonians 1: 7 - 10, And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed ) in that day.

Now, let’s look at the Presence of God  vs non-presence, 2: 3, 10 - 13 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
