<TITLE>11. Par 40-45</TITLE>L-40 When He was here on earth He was so perfect of it, so convinced, He said, "Search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have Eternal Life. And They are They that testify of Me." Amen. "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me." It wasn't... They couldn't understand this Man being no more than just an ordinary man. Well, fleshly He probably wasn't, but He was virgin borned. But yet, He was a man. He eat, drank, slept, and so forth as we do, but yet, inside of Him was God.

L-41 He said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me. He doeth the works." In Saint John 5:19, He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself. But what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son likewise. I always do that what pleases the Father." Why? He never did till He heard the Father showed Him what to do. Oh, if we could only wait like that (Yes, sir.) till we found.
See, He said the Son does nothing within Himself, or can do nothing but what He sees the Father doeth. The Son work... The Father worketh, and the Son worketh hitherto. See? In other words, He just acted out a drama what God told Him to do. Now, He would be the Word. And that's...

L-42 I believe that this Bible, this Word right here, the Bible, is God in print form. And I believe that the Bible is a seed. Those words are seeds. Jesus said a sower went forth sowing seeds. This is it. The Word of God is a Seed. Jesus said it was.
Then, if it is God in print form, and you receive It into your heart, and then the Holy Spirit waters that Seed, it brings forth what it's promised. Any kind of a seed you sow, it'll bring forth that kind of a crop. Exactly right. We've sowed in this great revival going by a lot of intellectual seed. We've got a intellectual crop. That's right. If we would sow Gospel Seed, we'd have a Gospel crop. And we need to get back to the principles, and the Bible teachings, back to the Bible, back to the Holy Spirit upon the Word of God that makes the Word of God live. That's exactly what it was.

L-43 Now, He was the Son of God when He was born. But when He was baptized by John on the Jordan, they saw the Holy Spirit descending like a dove and remained upon Him. And Him being the Word, then the Word begin to show Itself. Amen. The Word begin to manifest Itself. To why? The Holy Spirit was in there speaking the Word of God.

L-44 Now, we find out that in Hebrews the 4th chapter, the 12th verse, the Bible said that the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, cutting asunder, and so forth, and It is a discerner of the thoughts of the heart: Hebrews 4:12. The Word... Now, don't forget that now. We're going to need it after while. The Word, the Word of God is a discerner of the thoughts of the heart.
Now, Deuteronomy 18, Moses, the great prophet, priest, and king, whatever he was, that led Israel, he said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet liken unto me. It shall come to pass that whoever will not hear that prophet shall be cut off."

L-45 You remember when John came? It had been four hundred years since they'd had a prophet, since Malachi. And when John came, he stirred the region. And they came to him and said, "Are you that prophet (see?) that was to come?"
He said, "I'm not. But He's coming after me."
Now, John was just preaching. See? He was a prophet, but a--a preacher of the Word is a prophet. But Israel was always taught to believe their prophets, for the Word of the Lord came--comes to the what? Prophets. That's right. "The word of the Lord came to the prophet," Isaiah. "The word of the Lord came to the prophet," Jeremiah. The Word of the Lord came to the prophets.
Hebrews 1. God, in sundry times and in divers manners spake to the fathers by the prophets, in this last days through His Son, Christ Jesus. Notice. They came to the prophets, and Israel were taught to believe their prophets.
