<TITLE>07. Par 57-66</TITLE>L-57 That's the way God did about the world. He worked; it was in His mind. And, if you notice, it come like by evolution, like He was learning more all the time, making something greater and greater. But, see, He was above it all, and just let it evolute up to that, you see. Everything He begin to bring upon the earth, from botany life, and fish, and so forth; it come on into birds, and the animals; and then something in His Own image, a man; and stopped there, see, because it was up to His perfection, of what He wanted.

L-58   That's the way you start, like this trailer. You might lay the frame down, and you say, "What are you doing?" Like you, when you all moved the first rocks away from this corner here. "What are you doing?" See, it didn't look like it would be like it is now. It looks like a little Eden, because it was in your mind what to do, and you just kept working up.

L-59 Now we want to be transformed, ourselves, by the renewing of our mind. See, not what we have on this earth, what we are going to look for on this earth; but what we are coming to, in the world that is to come. Transformed by renewing of our mind!

L-60   Now, six thousand years, God taken to make this, and we see in Genesis 1. Yet, now we see that, in this, God had a--had an objective that He wanted to bring to pass.

L-61 And so many people, in teaching on Genesis, back here in the 1st chapter and the 2nd chapter, and 3rd chapter, especially, "It looks like that God repeats Himself. Oh, He says, He went ahead and said all these things that He did. Oh, how He... 'Let there be light, and let there be this, and let there come forth,' and there wasn't even one thing yet." Wasn't nothing. There wasn't a light. That--that old world was still floating out there in that darkness, covered over with water. But, see, He had spoke His Word, and then that's when He was speaking.

L-62   Now we notice here in Genesis 1, He said, "And He formed man in His Own image, in His Own likeness, in the image of God made He (He made) him, male and female." See, He was making man, He just spoke the Word. Then we find out, after His many days had passed, maybe hundreds and hundreds of years, there was still no man to till the soil. Nobody to till the soil, so then God formed man out of the dust of the earth. See, He had spoke the Word, and then the Word had to take place.

L-63 Now, when He said, "Let there be light." Maybe there might have been hundreds of years, maybe eight hundred years, before there ever was a light, but it come to pass because God said so.

L-64 And God is going to have a Church, I don't care how many dark ages we go through, and whatever more. He is going to have a Church without spot or wrinkle, whether we are part of it or not, because He has already said it was going to happen. It's going to be there.

L-65   And--and He commanded, to--to transform it into the plant life and every life that He put forth. He said these words, like, "Let there be a palm tree. And let there be an oak tree. Let there be a fir."

L-66 Look down in the desert, where we live down here in Tucson. Out on there, there is cactus, jumping cactus, all kinds of cactuses. Just thirty minutes from there, is sherman pine up on top of the mountain. Now, this cactus will not grow up there, and neither will that sherman pine grow down here. Now, where was the Intelligence that planted the seed? See, they had to come from somewhere. It was God's Word, "Let there be," and it was.
