<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>62-0319, The End-Time Sign Seed, Tifton Junior High School, Tifton, GA, 85 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be here tonight again in--in Tifton. This is kind of a grand surprise to me. I told our good friend Brother Welch Evans some time ago when I was getting a little tired; I said, "I'm coming down through Tifton to go fishing." I said, "When I come, I'll meet with you over there somewhere, and we'll have (I thought), a cottage prayer meeting." And here he--I find myself over here in a school auditorium tonight.
And a little bit hoarse from--from over-speaking. I had a short sermon yesterday, only six hours long is all, as long--as long as I preached. So... Now, I'm not scaring you. I won't be that long tonight. I--I'm positive of that. But being a little hoarse and--and coming by...

L-2 But it's a privilege to be here and to get to meet this fine pastor that just give such a fine, royal introduction. And we're happy to always meet the people.
And the expression the brother has just made is absolutely the truth. We can say "Amen" to it, because the devil in these last days are like a roaring lion, going around devouring whatever he can find to devour, for he knows his time is short. He hasn't got very much longer to do it, so he must do it while he's got time to do it.
I like the situation of this little auditorium. Very thankful to the school board, the principal, and those who has been so nice to let us have it; for you fine people who are here in cooperation for this little momentarily setup meeting. And ever who laid the little welcome mat out here in the street I noticed, well, that was very fine. I think a Brother Willie over here was the one did that; I appreciate it.

L-3 I'd like maybe, if the Lord being willing sometime, where we could come by for a season of services, get with this fine pastor and others here, and get a meeting set up for four or five nights, where we could sufficiently advertise it, get all the churches in together; because, you know, we need one another right now more than we ever did in all the history of the world is right now: real royal believers, we need each other. And so I'm... It's always a blessing wherever you go and meet God's people. It's a blessing everywhere.

L-4 I see we've got some youngsters out here. I was watching a little boy and girl setting here a few moments ago on the front seat, the cutest little fellows, little bitty things, setting up there just as nice. I like that. Children... There's something about children that's innocent and sweet. I--I like that.
And now, thank you very much for coming out tonight. Now, I thought that it would be nice tonight if we just took our time, and sowed some seed that--of the Word of the Lord.
And yesterday I preached this six hours upon a subject "The Original Seed of the Word." And we brought it from Genesis to Revelations, back and forth on a six-hour tape: that what God's program was, what He is, and how that the spoken Word of God is the Seed of God. And the Bible said that (over in Luke), that the Word of God is a Seed that the sower sowed.

L-5 And now, we know that any word sowed has to be watered before it'll bring forth its crop. But if the water falls on the ground, no matter what kind of seed is in that ground, it'll bring forth of its kind, 'cause God said in Genesis 1:11, "Let every seed bring forth of its kind." That each thing... And when the water falls (Hebrews, 6th chapter) we find out that the--the rains come oft upon the earth to water it, to dress it, to bring forth the fruit. But the weeds and briars, and--and things that's in the earth comes forth by the same water. But by their fruits you're known.
So Christians are known by the fruits of the Holy Spirit. That's what dominates a Christian's life, proves what he is. And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, faith, long-suffering, goodness, gentleness...?... patience in the Holy Spirit. Those fruits manifest themselves through Christians.
