<TITLE>21. Par 70-73</TITLE>L-70 I want to ask you something. I'm going to inject a little thought here. You'll think it's Baptist, but it's not; it's the Bible. Look. There was those well-trained scholars looked upon that sign that He done and called Him a devil. But here's a prostitute, but in her laid that predestinated seed of God. She'd never seen nothing like it. And as soon as that Light struck the seed, Life sprung up. Why? It had Life in it to begin with.

L-71 Fall of the year, the seeds die and go back into the dirt. But let that sun just strike it. If the germ of life is there, it'll spring to life. This woman in her horrible estate, she was predestinated. Her name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. And when she seen that Light of God spring, nothing could hold her. It sprung to life, when educated priests...
They said, "Well, they--they--that's holy Father So-and-so."
I don't care what it was. Jesus said, "You're of your father the devil and his works you do."
That prostitute said, "You must be the Messiah." And when He told her He was, she was convinced. What? That predestinated seed, when the light first shines, she recognized it.
And today, when we're going (excuse this expression)... and I see that work of God, the Holy Ghost come down and begin to manifest something, a predestinated seed sets there, grabs it. You couldn't twist it away from him with anything.
The rest of them will go away and say, "Wonder what kind of a trick it is? Must be some kind of a hoax to it somewhere."

L-72 But that predestinated seed don't ask no questions. It's thoroughly convinced that it's God moving according to His promise in the Bible. A little farther up the road, really, than Azusa Street, we should be. The church should be up here. Here it started with a weeping, and crying, and coming in to God. And it's fell way away, and here's something up here that the church should be up to meet it. See? But yet they--they're not convinced yet. See? That's the reason it's not concerned. That's right. Nathanael when he saw it, he was convinced.

L-73 I'm closing right now. I got several more here I want to talk about, but I'm going to talk about you and I for a few minutes.
What about us? Here we are celebrating the fiftieth year of Pentecost in Louisiana. And actually, signs that never happened at the beginning is greater than the... They're greater now. That was the breaking of the fallow ground, getting ready for the real truth to be sowed into it. And when someone come along sowing the seed, you organized it and drowned the thing out. Carnal impersonations come up to impersonate.
Don't you know that's the work of the devil to try to blind your eyes? Don't you know there was false Jesuses rose up before the real Christ came? It's only to take away. It's the devil trying to get the thing away. That's the same thing it's been today, trying to draw you away. Men with wrong forms, and creeds, and things, trying to impersonate, how can they do it? The Bible said they would, as Jambres and Jannes withstood Moses. But said, "Their folly will be made manifest."
Moses had one thing to do: stand true to his commission. And finally the time come when they throwed down their sticks and tried to do the same thing. Then Moses' stick swallowed them up. Did you ever think where them sticks went? All right.
