<TITLE>10. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 God's Word is a seed. God is in His Word. Look at Him when He makes His Word manifest, His promises of what He would do. Look at a hundred and twenty people taking God's Word, went up to the day of Pentecost, and waited until that commission, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until you're endued with power from on high." God's Word sunk into their hearts and they waited there. What was they doing? Just setting around saying, "Well, I will see what will happen." You can't water it that way. If you say, "Well, yes, I believe in Divine healing. Oh, sure, it's in the Bible." That's not the way to get healed. You might have the seed, but you got to water it. Now, the Bible said, "When they were in the upper room, they were blessing, and thanking, and praising God." Why? Praising Him because they knew it was coming, for they had the Seed in their heart, God's promise.

L-36 Right if it can ever settle in your heart, you in the wheelchair, you in the cots, you out there with heart trouble, cancer, you in radio land, in hospitals, wherever you may be, if you can receive God's Word in your heart and water it with praises and thanks to God for giving It to you, it'll grow into a tree of whatever the seed represents. Healing, salvation, whatever it's for, that tree will blossom.
But you've got to drink. You've got to water it, feed it, and let it grow. And more you trust in God... If you're in a wheelchair, and--and in the hospital, and you're so paralyzed you can't even move but one finger, just keep moving that one finger to the glory of God. Tomorrow you'll move your hand. The next day you'll move your arm. And you'll be moving on pretty soon if you'll just keep watering it, pushing out, growing, getting bigger and bigger. Take God's Word. It's a Seed. Certainly, It's a Seed.
God receive--gave Abraham a promise as we've been studying. And Abraham let that seed get into his heart, the promise, and kept watering it with praises and thanksgiving to God for the child, and waited twenty-five years. But the tree came forth just the same, because he watered it with faith.

L-37 God is in His universe. All that believe that say "Amen". [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] God is in His Word. Do you believe that? Now, God in His Son, sure, He was. Christ Jesus was God manifested in the flesh. The Bible said, that, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." The flesh part was man. The Spirit was God. Jesus said, "I can do nothing except My Father shows Me first."
When He was here on earth He--He hungered like a man. He got hungry, looked around on a tree to find something to eat; that was the Man part. But when He taken those biscuits and two little fishes and fed five thousand people, that was God doing that.
When He went down to the grave of Lazarus, He was weeping; that was the man; that was Jesus. But when He called a man out of the grave that had been dead and buried four days, that was God in His Son, 'cause only God can speak to the dead. God was in His Son.

L-38 It's true, as I said the other night on that little boat. He was a Man laying there asleep, tired from preaching and healing the sick. He was a Man when He was tired and weary and sleepy, till the storm didn't wake Him up. But when He put His foot on the brail of the boat and looked up and said, "Peace, be still." And the winds and the waves hushed, what could speak to nature but God. He was God when He spoke to the winds and waves.
He was a Man when the pains and agony of the nails in His hand and the crown on His head, of thorns, He was a Man when He was dying. But on Easter morning when He broke the seals and rose again, He proved He was God. He looked like God; He talked like God; He preached like God; He healed like God. And He is God, God manifested in the flesh, the holy One.
Almighty God overshadowed the virgin Mary, created a blood cell that brought forth the Tabernacle that God lived in for thirty-three and a half years. God was in His Son.
