<TITLE>03. Par 11-13</TITLE>L-11 Now, I believe that the church's name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world, when--before the Lamb was slain; 'cause the Bible said the antichrist would deceive all upon the earth whose names were not written in the Lamb's Book of Life, slain before the foundation of the world. I believe the infinite God by His foreknowledge saw the church.
Now, I know that's a ticklish subject. And remember, there's a truth to it. I don't believe it in the line that many does, but I believe that there is: by foreknowledge God could tell the end from the beginning, 'cause He's the infinite God. Now, whether I'm part of that church (I hope I am.), I'm just seeking out my own salvation with fear and trembling, staying right in the Word. When if I get out of there, then I'll pray to get back in it again. And so when that...

L-12 It's not a good word to use (See?), but when that predestinated seed laying in that little woman, believing, watching... Yet in her sinful condition, she was watching for a coming of a Messiah. The church order in that day was so, almost like it is today. She--she'd just as soon live like she was living, and 'cause she seen the ridiculous of how the people that professed to be religious and was nothing but a load of hypocrisy. And I say that not to be sacrilegious. I say that with honesty, and sincere in my heart, and love for everybody.
And then, when that... when... She was standing there waiting to see what the answer of that Man was when she said, "It's not customary (She was getting in the tradition then of the elders.), for you Jews to ask Samaritan, me, a woman of Samaria such a--a thing, or have any dealings."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were speaking to, you would ask Me for water." Then the question come up, and Jesus said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
He said, "Well you have said, because you have had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband." Quickly (Watch.), there was that predestinated seed to Eternal Life. "All the Father has given Me will come. No man can come unless he calls." See? "All the Father hath (past tense) given Me will come."

L-13 And when that Light flashed across that predestinated seed, quickly... Not like them educated scholars, standing over there criticizing, they thought they were in that group, but they wasn't. They called Him Beelzebub. But as soon as He hit that predestinated seed, that Light flashed across it; she said, "Sir," it come to life, see, quickened it, "I perceive that Thou art a prophet. We know Messiah, when He comes He will do this kind of a work."
He said, "I'm He that speaks with you." Oh, my. That settled it. See? What... "All the Father has given Me..." We only sow seeds. God lodges them wherever He will. Some falls by the wayside; some comes up in thorns for a few days, and thistles choke them out and so forth; and others go into the right place. I don't know where they are. We just sow them.
