<TITLE>09. Par 75-87</TITLE>L-75 God needs no interpreter. He does His Own interpreting. He doesn't need anyone else to tell Him how to do it. He is sovereign. He said how He would do it, and that's the way He must keep His Word. When He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe," He meant just that. Whatever He said would take place, He said it would happen in these last days, that He would do certain things, and He done it. He has to ask nobody whether it's time or not. He knows what the time is, and what the plan is.

L-76   Now, Satan, this deceiver, as spoke of in Matthew 24:24, with so much deceit. Now, we find that by his gospel programs of knowledge, better education, higher ethics, civilization, and so forth, has bewitched the people that wants to serve God, into believing his lie.

L-77 Eve did not want to do that, but he showed her how it was more wisdom in it. She didn't know; she wanted to know. She didn't understand, but she wanted to understand. And God told her not to try to understand.

L-78 How can I understand any of these things? I cannot understand them. I believe them. I don't have to understand them. God is faith, and not understanding. We just believe what He said.

L-79   Now, compare God's Eden to Satan's now, after six thousand years of perverting of the true interpretation of God's promised Word to the age. Let's compare it now, and see where we get. Like he did to the church in--in Christ's time, in Jesus, trying to keep--keep back God's loyal sons from knowing the Truth. That's God's. God put His sons here, His attributes, to fellowship with Him by hearing His Word.

L-80   What if your father told you, and you are a loyal son to your father, and he told you, "Son, don't you go in that water out there, swimming, because there's 'gators in that water"; and a fellow comes back, said, "Surely, such pretty water as that, there is no 'gators in it"? Now who you going to listen to? If you're a genuine son, you'll listen to your daddy.

L-81 And a genuine son or daughter of God takes God's Word first. I don't care what anybody else says about it, they take God's Word first. "There's poison in the cup," and they believe it.

L-82 Having faith in all His Word, His Seeds, brought a Eden of holiness, love, and Eternal Life. That's what God's Eden produced, holiness. And it brought an Eden of holiness, of love, understanding, perfection, and Eternal Life. That's what God is planting, His Word, His Seed. That's what His Church will be at the end; It will be the same thing.

L-83   Notice, here's a thought. Don't forget it. I'll get to it some other time or some other Message. But, you know, God said, "Let every seed bring forth of its kind." Is that God's commandment? Now what good is any preacher, or anybody else, try to make that Word say something else? See, every Word of God is a Seed. Jesus said so, "A Seed a sower sowed." So if Mark 16 is God's Word, it'll bring forth of its kind. If Malachi 4 is God's Word, it'll bring forth of its kind. And every other promise must bring forth of its kind.

L-84   You see, see Satan out here in disguisement? He is trying to say, "It not, it's not so." Do you understand it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See, Satan say, "Oh, That ain't for this day. That, that--that's... That was some other time. That, that don't even mean that."

L-85 "Every seed must come forth of its kind." That's how God established His Eden. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And here it is, that's how God establishes His Church, every Word after Its kind! "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word proceeding out of the mouth of God." See? Satan, he'll take something else. But God said, "Every seed after its kind."

L-86 If the promise said, "These signs shall follow them that believe."

L-87 Now the church says, "Join the church. Recite the creed. Know the catechism." There is not such things in the whole Bible.
