Genesis
1:1 In the
beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 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.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he
called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, Let there be a
firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 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.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
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. 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. 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. 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.
Let us pray,
Dear father we have read from Thy Word this morning that you spoke and the Law
of Life, the law of reproduction came into being, and that law requires that
every seed must bring forth after it’s kind. Therefore, Father if you are the
author of Life, and have children, sons and daughters, then they truly
according to your own Word must come forth in the image of the original, and we
know according to Hebrews 1 that Jesus Christ your first born son, was the
expressed Image of Your person. So we see then Father that your Law of Life,
Your law f reproduction is true, and being true for the first born it must also
be true for every born one that comes from Thee. Therefore, help us as this
morning as we study this law of Life this morning that we might have confidence
in our birth, and knowing your promises concerning our Life and of Whom we shall
be conformed into the image thereof, for we ask it in Jesus Christ’s name,
amen.
Now, this morning we have read from Genesis 1:11 the
law of Life which says that every seed must bring forth after it’s kind. Now, there’s
no arguments here, God said it and we believe it.
Therefore when we read from Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the
image of his Son, that he might be
the firstborn (the original seed) among many brethren.
So how can they argue about that? That is what He
said, and since every seed must come forth after the likeness of the original
seed, then it is very apparent that we can know our future likeness is the same
as that of the Son of God.
Now, we read in Ephesians 1 that we were in Him before the
foundations of the world. So having been in Him, and having Him as our source
of Life, then why do we worry about our future outcome. He said in Ephesians 1:3 Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
in Christ: Look, hath is past tense, we are already blessed in Him,
so why worry about your future? We must learn to rest in our destiny. He said, 4 According
as He hath chosen us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him: And again he said that He has already chosen us in Him, and
determined that we shall be holy and without blame. Now, look, if every seed
must bring forth after it’s kind, then if we were in Him, and he said right
here that we are already determined to be holy and without blame, then I think
we need to start saying what he has already been saying about us. Because
having already chosen us, in Him, he then sets our path to get there through
predestinating it. We see that next in verse 5 In love Having
predestinated us (It’s not what he might do, He has already cone
it) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus
Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Now, that brings us to paragraph 165 in Brother Branham’s sermon,
the Spoken word is the original Seed, so let’s pick up and read from pp. 165
this morning. “All right. In Genesis 1,
remember, every seed after its kind. It must forever be
that way. There's all those types. A man
who would say, could believe, that the church will go through a tribulation
period, I wonder where you'd ever get a seed for that? When even...
"Well," you say, "I believe it says this that they'll do..."
That's all right. Did you notice back yonder where the rains fell on the other
time? Where did it fall? Noah was in the
ark before the judgment struck.
Now, look, it may get
pretty rough before it’s all over, but just remember, when those waves rose up
to drown the disciples, Jesus was fast asleep in the boat. He wasn’t worried
about the storm. And every son that cometh to God must first be tried and
tested, see, just like the first born son was, but he slept through that test.
Now, you don’t sleep if you are worried, you toss and turn, but he was asleep.
He was resting in the promise of God for his day. And what was the promise of
God for his day? That he would have to go to the cross and give his life for
the rest of the children. So he knew that the storm was just a bluff. Just like
when I was on that plane, and the engine blew up when the geese hit the
turbines, and my daughter reached over the isle and took a hold of my hand and
said, “Dad, I never knew what it would be to die?” And I said, we
aren’t going to die, God has work for me to do yet.” And I was very sure that
the plane was not going to go down. In fact when I heard that explosion and saw
the flames through 4 windows, the first thing I heard come from my lips was,
“here we go again.” Because I knew satan has his job to do, and we have our job
to do, and since he is a good adversary, he ha stop at least make the effort
look good, but his hands are tied and he can not do to us what our father will
not let him to do, so relax my brothers and sisters.
We have a promise for this hour that we shall be
conformed to the image of the first born son, and that we are predestinated
unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself. So until that
happens, we are still on our way there. Like, Billy Paul when he told his dad
that the devil was after him, br. Branham said, that’s good Paul, and Billy Paul
said, “Good?” And
Now, let’s continue with paragraph 166 All right.
Every seed must come after its kind.
God made man in His image after His kind
to be His Word on earth. He
expressed it in Jesus Christ. What was? God was in Christ. That's
a Man after His kind. See? When God, which is the Word... How many
knows He's the Word? When the Word was in
Christ, a man, human man,
expressing Itself through Him, that was God, the Word, in Christ expressing Himself.
And God in the beginning made man in His
Own image, and that's the kind of
man that God makes today. The seminary and the incubator hatchery turns out
a bunch of hybrids (See?), the schools. But when God calls a man, he's in His Own image: the Word made alive in him. That's right. There he is;
that's God's man, man in His Own image,
in His very likeness. And Jesus said, that he will do the works that I do. So
God made man in His Own image after His kind.
Now, in order to better
understand what this image is going to be we must know who and what God is?
Right? And John
1:1 tells us in the beginning was the Word and the Word was God. So
if God is the Word, and we are made in the Image of Him, then if we are to be
in that same image then we must also be the Word or a reflection of the Word.
That’s why brother Branham says in paragraph 167 His kind, what is His kind? the Word. He is the Word. Then if a man denies God's Word, how can he be
in God's image? Just ask the question. Ask yourself. "How can he be in
God's image and deny God's Word, when the Word's expressed image of
Himself?" "Oh," he says, "it doesn't mean that."
Expressed image of God saying, "Oh, I said it, but I didn't really mean
it. I was wrong there. I back up. That was for some other time. I didn't mean
it." Oh mercy, trash, slop of the Devil that he fed to Eve. Don't let him
try to poke it down the elect’s neck though. No, sir. They won't believe that.
"Just come and join with our gang." Join nothing; you got to be born;
not join; a new creature.
Then how can they say they believe that Jesus is the
son of God and then make him his own father. Tell me they are saying the same
thing God said…. He said, this is my beloved son…..He said IN whom I am pleased
to dwell in…
In 1 John 5:10 we
read, He that
believeth on the Son of God hath (echoes) the witness in himself: he that believeth not
God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11 And
this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in
his Son. 12 He that hath (echoes) the Son hath (echoes) life; and he that
hath (echoes) not the Son of God
hath (echoes) not life.
So you see they don’t even echo the record that God gave of His son, and
neither do they echo the son of God who said that God was His Father. But that
is not something that is totally a surprise, because Isaiah warned us they
would not believe the report that God gave of His son. In Isaiah 53: 1 he said, Who hath believed our report? And that is the question we should ask in this message
this morning. Who has believed God’s report?
Now, I want you to
notice this because they will not say what brother Branham said even thought
they claim him to be their prophet. And because I say exactly what brother
Branham taught and I show it by the Scriptures, they go behind my back and call
me a devil. O, they say they are my friend to my face but then go behind my
back and tell others I am a devil. But
they did that also to Jesus and he told me that they would say that about me as
well, so I am relaxed because I know offenses must come, but woe by whom they come.
John 15:20 Remember
the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If
they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep yours also.
So
I am not too worried about the name calling, because Jesus told me it would come,
and in fact he also told me that it is not enough to be like Him, but I must
also be called what He was called, and we know there are quite a few times they
called him Beelzebub, which in Spanish is Diablo. So actually for my friend to
call me Diablo places me right where Jesus said I would be, so he didn’t
realize it when he called me that, but Jesus knew he would do it…
In
Matthew 10: 25 Jesus said, “It
is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his
lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more
shall they call them of his household?”
Now, let’s continue from paragraph 168 Yes, in His Own image of His kind to be His expressed
Word on earth. Now, Jesus was God's
expressed Word. Do you believe that? Then
what are we to be? Sons of God too, with the expressed Word in the church,
carrying on (That's the mystical Body of Christ.), carrying on the same works that Jesus did when He was here on earth.
See? That's the kind after His kind.
Now, you can have the Lutheran kind after the Lutheran; the Methodist kind
after the Methodist; the Catholic kind after the Catholic; the Pentecostal kind
after its kind; the Oneness after its; the Trinity after its; but if you're God's kind, that's different. See, you're the expressed image of the Word
making Itself manifest. Oh, my. Why, it's got to. If the water falls on it,
it's got to do it.
169 Then give him a
birth, a tie... After God made man in His Own image... I just don't think I got
time for this next expression; it's a dandy, but I don't want to... All of
God's words are dandies. See? And look here, where I was supposed to be at
dinner time, I'm just about that far away from it (See?), about one-sixth of
it. Humph. All right, can I... Let's just leave it there. What do you say? And
then we... Now, how many can come back this afternoon? Raise your hand...?...
Good. I don't want to keep you too long. Now, I'll just... I don't want to wear
you out. And now, I... Now, you tape boys, just leave the tapes run just a
minute, and I'll cut this off just in a minute myself. All right, sir.
170 Now, we... Our last thought here was that God made man
in His Own image after His kind. God made a man after His kind. You get it?
A man after His kind. Well, what kind of a Man was he? If you'll look back and see what He was when He was made flesh, that's the kind of man He makes.
Is that right? A man after His kind...
Amen. That's right, isn't it? That's His
kind of man. Uh-huh. He said another time, one time to a man: "You're
after My Own heart," a man after His Own heart: David. Remember that? The
Spirit of God in David: David, a rejected king. Always the anointed is rejected. David, the rejected king, went up
the hill when his own people... I'll preach this for this next three minutes.
When David's own people should be, his
own kind dethroned him, his own son, and run him off the throne. David went
down there, and even one of them come out there spitting on him, that anointed
king. This little old guy come along crippled
up in his doctrine (The Bible said he was crippled, you know.), and he went along spitting on that king.
Watch Christ. Spitting on him... That messenger by his side, an angel
representing him, pulled a sword said, "Should the head of that dog stay
on, spit on that king?" That angel said, "I'll strike him dead."
171
David said, "Put up your sword.
I have to do this." Went up on top of the hill of Jerusalem, looked back
down, a rejected king, and he wept. Eight hundred years from there the Son of David, the Spirit that was in
David in a portion, stood on the same hill, a rejected king being spit on and
made fun of. Is that right? I can imagine God said, that Angel was walking
along there with Him when He went up to
172 But God said,
"David, you're a man after My Own heart." When God creates a man, he's of His kind. David said, "Thy
Word have I hid in my heart that I sin not against You, Lord." Only thing
he needed was the rain. David would've been all right if he could just had that
rain, but the Holy Ghost wasn't yet given. He had the Word, and the Word was in
him, and he could know It; he said, "I've hid It in my heart, Lord. It
won't bloom out and act like It should, but I've hid It there Lord. I've hid
It." But when Jesus came, which was
the Word made manifest took the germ life out of it and brings it back to the
Word now. And if David's cup run over, what ought ours to do?...?...
Without the Spirit. Amen. Isn't He wonderful? You love Him? Isn't He wonderful,
wonderful, wonderful? Isn't Jesus My Lord wonderful? Eyes have seen, ears have
heard, What's recorded in God's Word; Isn't Jesus my Lord wonderful? Isn't He?
How many loves It? How many love Him? Oh my, He's wonderful.
Now, how could Jesus be a man in the image of His
Father if he wasn’t even a man?
Hebrews
1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his
glory, and the express image of his
person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten
thee? And again, I will be to him a
Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the first-begotten into the world,
he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 7 And of the angels he saith, Who
maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But according to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for
ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy
God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
So who anointed the Son of God? God did!

Now, another thing I want to say here…It is like pulling teeth for some
of these brethren to admit that Jesus was a man. Now, brother Branham said it
so many times it is hard to find them all, but so did the Scriptures call Him a
man. Yet they think it is degrading or something to say that Jesus was a man,
and that God dwelt in Him. As though the man, the body was itself God. In fact
that is what they believe and teach which is so contrary to what brother
Branham taught.
Acts 2:

their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation.
John 3: 2 The
same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a

Brother Branham said, Total deliverance
59-0712 P:55 Jesus
was completely, totally man. He
could cry like a man, He could eat like a man; He could become like a man. He was completely, totally man in His
physical being. And in His Spirit, He was completely, totally God, so He made His flesh submissive to the Spirit
that was in Him. You see, He was tempted in all manners like we are. He was man, not an Angel. He was a man.
He had desires and temptations just like we do. The Bible said He did. He was a man, not an Angel above
temptation. Hebrews 1 said that He was... Hebrews 1:4 said He was made lower than the
Angels. He was man,
completely man, that God took a
complete man to bring total deliverance; and He filled Him with His Spirit; the Holy Ghost was in Him without
measure. And He was tempted like we were. And He was completely God. He proved
it when He raised the dead, when He stopped nature, the roaring seas and the
mighty winds. When He spoke to the trees, and so forth, they obeyed Him. He was God inside. And He could've been man, for He was Man, but
He totally and completely delivered
Himself as a Man into the hands of God for the service of God. And He is our example.
Hebrews 2: 9 But
we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of
death, crowned with glory and honour; that he
by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
1 Timothy 2: 5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Romans 5:
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if
through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the
gift by grace, which is by one man,
Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
And
Jesus always called himself “son of
man” to identify with men, that he was a man.
Sirs we

manifested; that was God manifested in a
Man called Jesus Christ, which is
the Son of God, promising, "As it was in the days of Noah (every other
scene set exactly), so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man." He's
the same yesterday, today, and forever.
John 13:31 Therefore,

glorified.

another person and make Him go and die to redeem this person here, He would be
an unjust being. There's only one way that God could ever do it, would be take
the place Himself. And God became flesh that He might taste the pains of death,
to take the sting and death away from us, that we might be redeemed by His own.
That's why He will be so worshipped.
Jesus was a man, sure He was. He was a man, m-a-n, born in the virgin Mary. But

Jehovah-Manasses; He was Jehovah, our Shield, our Buckler, our Healer; He was
Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the End; He was the First, the Last; He Was,

do not believe that Jesus could be His own father. I believe that Jesus had a Father, and that
