<TITLE>22. Par 220-233</TITLE>L-220   Oh, Satan tried and tried again, do everything. One night, laying on the back of a ship, he seen Him asleep. And he said, "I'll destroy Him right now." But he couldn't.

L-221 He tried to tempt Him into doing the wrong thing, but he couldn't do it. Why? He had been sprayed with the repellent of predestination. It can't be deceived. No, no. The Word said He would be here. Amen. There ain't no devil going to bother Him, and no other son of God, that's predestinated to take his place. He is sprayed with a repellent. Satan's poison, denominational doctors don't even touch Him at all. He moves right along, nothing going to bother him, see. It didn't have any effect upon Him.

L-222   "Well, I'll make You the bishop of all the earth. I have rule over it. If You'll just worship me, come on join my group, I'll--I'll make You the ruler. I'll step down, let You up."

L-223 He said, "Get behind Me, Satan. It is written, 'Thou shall worship God, the Word, and Him only shall Thou serve.'" Then one day...
On this great Person, I'd like to stay there a while.

L-224 But one day, the Spirit moved upon Him again; 'cause there was some Word had been wrote about Him, come from God, through the prophet, "And He was led to the slaughter, like a lamb." And the Spirit moved upon Him, and led Him, and sent Him to Calvary's cross. There He died. And everything that was spoke of Him in His death, was fulfilled, to bring Light and Life to all the predestinated seed of God that was upon the earth. He brought the way to do it. Here is the Seed, the Spirit brings the Life; transforming sons and daughters of God, from the world in this dark chaos, in to be sons and daughters of God.

L-225   Don't stumble at that word "predestination." I know you do. But, listen, It's not my word. It's one of God's Words. You want to read it, read Ephesians 1:5, which, "He has predestinated us to the adoptions of sons through Jesus Christ." See?

L-226 Just let me just break it just a minute, just a minute, to break this out of your mind. Look. Just as you were in your father, at the beginning, a germ seed. Did you know that, every one of you? You were in your great-great-great-grandfather, also, did you know that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-227 Read the Book of Hebrews, where that we find that Levi paid tithes when he was in the loins of Abraham, four generations behind him. When Abraham paid tithes to Melchisedec, it was accounted to his great-greatgrandson down below him, and he was then in the loins of Abraham. There you are. See?

L-228   You were in the loins of your father, but your father could not have any fellowship with you until you was transformed into a body of flesh.

L-229 My son there was in me. I--I--I wanted a son, but he was in me then. See? He was in me then. But through wedlock, he was transformed into a man like me, and then he become like me.

L-230 And you become like your parents, see, 'cause it was in you, to begin with. Now if we are the sons of God, His attributes... Which, you are an attribute of your father, not your mother; your father. The germ lays in the father. See? And now your mother was an incubator that bear you, bear the seed of your father. See?

L-231   And the earth, in flesh, is also the incubator that bears the seed of God. See, just exactly. Not the world, how great the world is; it's how great the God that made it. See? See?

L-232 Now if you are a son and daughter of God, then you were in God at the beginning. You're His attribute. If you wasn't there then, then you never was or never will be.

L-233 Cause, I cannot bear, from my loins, the son of this man here or that man there, I can only bear my own sons, and they would bear my likeness. Hallelujah. You see it?
