<TITLE>11. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 Jesus said when He was here, "If you have faith like a mustard seed, would say to this mountain..." Why did He refer to mustard seed? Mustard seed won't hybreed. It's genuine mustard seed. It will not take breeding with nothing. And He said, otherwise, "If you have that much faith, God's Word, that won't hybreed to unbelief, or question it... Oh, I feel religious. That you won't question it...
No matter what circumstances, and anything else, you don't question God's Word; you believe It. You're supposed to believe It. If Eve would've only believed it, she would've received... and she'd have brought forth children right. But before she--her husband got to her she... found her already defiled, like Jehovah did, and like Jesus had. There was a defilement in the womb of her thinking. She had accepted a seed of unbelief against God's Word, because it produced something to her more brighter, and she wanted more knowledge.

L-45 That's what's the matter today. I'm standing in a school. We'd be a bunch of ignorants if it wasn't for education, and education is a part of our civilization. But civilization, education, only come by Christianity. Civilization is the grass roots of Chri--of... Or Christianity is the grass roots of civilization. Absolutely. Civilization come by Christ. Certainly.
Now, to disbelieve God's Word, or mix It with something to have more light... You can't mix It. It won't mix. You've got to believe it just the way God wrote it, and the way He spoke it. It's not to be added to, or taken away from, or anything, you must believe it that way.

L-46 Now, and when Job being a prophet, finally the vision broke through. And then when he seen how that God was going to make a way for a man to live again, because there would be another spoken Word that a virgin would receive...
That was Eve first that doubted it. When the Word come to Mary, she never doubted it. She said, "Behold the handsmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to Thy Word." See, she never--she never said, "Now, you wait till I feel life, and then I'll go testify. You wait till I'm positive of it."
That's the way we Christians, so-called, today do. "Wait till I'm positive. Wait till I begin to get better." And "Wait... I see something happen, and then I'll do it." No, sir. That's not the question. You believe it first.

L-47 What did Elijah tell the--the woman that he went to, with nothing but a handful of meal? He said, "Make me a cake first, then go start... The miracle will happen after you take God's Word first. You begin to believe God's Word, and then the miracle takes place on the Word, because the Word is the Seed that brings forth the miracle. Got to take the Word first. The Holy Spirit gives It life, like water falling from heaven.
We know that the Holy Spirit represents... The water represents the Holy Spirit, like... As Moses lifted up the brass serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up. Why? The perishing people. And when they lifted up the brass serpent, it saved the life of the perishing people. When he smote the rock... Christ is that rock that was smitten, and out of Him come the waters of Life for a perishing people. You must believe it; act upon it. Now.
