<TITLE>28. Par 279-288</TITLE>L-279   And the women have to dress themself so immoral, to get out amongst people. And they say, "I'm a good woman." Well, what is she putting herself out there like that for? She is blinded. "Well, if--if your... If one of these sisters here, of--of little age, if your mother or my mother would have walked out on the street, the way one of these women, they would have put her in the insane institution; she didn't even have enough mind to know to put on her clothes. Well, if it was insanity then, it's insanity now. It's still the same type of woman. See? But they've lost all their decency, all their understanding. They've lost theirs. And with modern understanding, with culture and education, "It's healthier, to be it." It's sinful and death! Notice. They are, oh, not like they used to be. When the...

L-280   And notice in the church life. It used to be, in the church life, long ago, when the prophet had something to say, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the people moved. They stayed right with It. They moved. But now, "I don't like that guy. Vote him out." Huh! See? Uh-huh. See, they don't have understanding no more. The people just don't move by the Spirit of God anymore.

L-281 God's Word is His Spirit, and His Word comes to His prophet. And the Word is supposed to transform you from what the things of the world are, into the image of sons and daughters of God. And the Word can only come through these prophets, as they spoke. And it had to be compared with the Word, and show that it was the Word. Then if you accept that Word, It'll transform you; from a son of God, or a daughter... or, from a son of the world, the daughter of the world, to a son and daughter of God.

L-282   Look at you in here. How many has had that experience? Every one of us. We've had that experience. Because, It was spoke, It was believed, and the Word came forth and fell into the bed of the heart, and there It growed right out of it. See?

L-283 Transforming yourself, His Holy Spirit transforms the seed Word into Its likeness. Like if a pear tree brings forth a pear, an apple tree an apple, things like that; His Word will bring forth sons and daughters of God. That's what it is supposed to do.

L-284   One day when the world lay in darkness and chaos again, the Spirit of God moved upon, in the predestinated seed. A predestinated seed, the predestinated, it was transformed. It took Isaiah 9: 6.

L-285 Now, that prophet standing there, what a--a man that had a sway over the nations, the people. The religious people of his day believed him; not all of them, they never did. But, this prophet, they had seen that man speak things and it was exactly right. What he said was perfect, and it come to pass. And, here, this man has to stand up before his people, and say, "A virgin shall conceive," oh, out of reason. But, you see, God didn't speak it, Himself, He speaks it through His prophets. Now, there wasn't nothing wrote in the Bible about that, but this prophet stood up, said, "A virgin shall..." In Isaiah 9:6, "Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; His Name shall be called 'Counsellor, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Everlasting Father.'" Now if "a virgin shall conceive," that Word was spoke, which was a germ, the bed has to be there to receive it in, someday. He searched through the lands, there wasn't any. He went through the lands, there wasn't any.

L-286   And pretty near eight hundred years later, that predestinated seed found a bed, and she come to growing.

L-287 Just like God did at the beginning, "Let there be light," and maybe eight hundred years later come forth the light. "Let there be a tree," it come forth like that again, everything that He said.

L-288 Here is a predestinated seed bringing forth Emmanuel, "God with us." "And to Him shall the Gentiles seek," and That Whom we seek to today, Jesus. You see, predestinated seed!
