<TITLE>21. Par 209-219</TITLE>L-209 Solomon said, "The--the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom," just the beginning of it.

L-210 But the prophet can speak THUS SAITH THE LORD; the people say "nonsense!" See, there is not a hope for them. It's, they say, "Why, we are smart. We're intellectual, we don't have to take that kind of stuff! We know what we're talking about!"

L-211 It's also an old proverb, that, "Fools will walk with hobnailed shoes, where Angels fear to trod." Certainly.

L-212   Now, what is the transformation? (Quickly.) How do we get it? What does the transformation? God does it by the Spirit of His Word. He transforms. He plants His Seed, throws His Spirit on It, and It brings forth the product. His Holy Spirit transforms the Seed Word in to be vindicated of its kind.

L-213 What kind of a seed you are, that shows just what's in you. You can't hide it. Whatever you are inside, it shows outside. You just can't keep from it. You can't make that tree anything but what it is. See, it's--it's going to be that way. The Holy Spirit transforms the seeds that's on the inside of it. No matter what kind of a seed it is, It'll transform it. If it's evil, it'll bring forth evil. If it's a hypocrite, it'll bring forth a hypocrite. If it's a genuine Word of God, it'll bring forth a genuine son or daughter of God, through a thinking man's Filter. When the Seed comes up, it comes through That, It produces a son and daughter of God.

L-214   One day when the world lay in the darkness of chaos, God... Now listen close, 'cause we're not going to speak... just a little bit longer. Look. One day when the world was again in all kinds of religions, washing hands, pots, wearing different robes and bonnets, and so forth, it lay in the midst of utter chaos. The genuine Israel of God had been so perverted from the laws and statutes of God, Jesus said, "You, with your traditions, make the Word of God of no effect to the people, by your traditions." And look at them holy priests, they call them; and Jesus said, "You are of your father, the Devil, and his works you do." See, that's exactly what He said.

L-215   Now when the world lay in that kind of a fix, God's Spirit moved again upon a Seed that was predestinated. He translated and transformed Isaiah 9:6 of Its promise; He, God, was made in human flesh, to save that chaos time. When man was made in the image of God, here comes God, by the prophet foreseeing it... Now remember the Word, the prophet foresaw it, just the same prophet that seen Satan in this last days, see, of this educational program and things he has, religious program. The same prophet, Isaiah 9:6, said, "Unto us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and His Name shall be called 'Counsellor, The Prince of Peace, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father.' And of His reign there will be no end." And that Word is God's Word. And the Spirit moved upon that Word, and It formed in the womb of a virgin; a man, "a son is born," not created, "born."

L-216   Satan tried and tried again, to spray It. He took Him up and said, "If You are what You say You are, then do some of this healing here for me. Show me how You can do it. Turn this, bread, and this stones into bread. Let's see you take a dive, because the Scripture says You'll do it."

L-217 You see them religious devils today still saying that same thing? "If there is such a thing as Divine healing; here lays Brother So-and-so, let's see you heal him."

L-218 That same Devil stood at Jesus, at the cross, said, "If Thou be the Son of God, come down off the cross."

L-219 The Word said He was the Son of God. The Spirit proved He was the Son of God. Isaiah 9:6 was fulfilled. And the other night, many of you in the broadcast heard how that we give sixty-some-odd Scriptures, almost, I believe, about proving that the Scripture said that That was Him.
