Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:1-5 (AMP) 1IN THE beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the earth. 2The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. 3And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
Isaiah 45:18 18For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
2 Peter 3:5-7 5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Jeremiah 4:23-27 23I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. 24I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place* was* a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. 27For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Ezekiel 28:11-19 11Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 12Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone* was* thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never* shalt* thou be any more.
Isaiah 14:12-20 12How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17That* made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
Ephesians 6:12 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high* places*.
Ephesians 6:12 (AMP) 12For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
Job 1:6-7 (also in Job 2:2) 6Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Genesis 1:2 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness* was* upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved (hovering, brooding, Amplified) upon the face of the waters.
What Does It Take To Make a Christian Life
57-0113 · Chicago, Illinois
42Now, I want you to notice. In the beginning when God our Father looked over this bleak earth, and it wasn’t nothing but one great big ball of water, and God sent the Holy Spirit to the earth, the Logos that went out of God, and It began to brood over the earth. Now, the word brood means “to make love”; or just like the dove, to coo. And the great Holy Spirit over the earth, as a mental picture, we’re going make It like wings, with His great wings around the earth, brooding, making love, cooing. “Come, come, the Father has ordained you, come. I’m coming to perform what the Father’s Word has said.” Is it soaking in? “I have come to manifest what th Father has spoken.” Brood.
And after a while there begin to come some petroleum moving across the earth, and a little bit of this and that, and a little Easter lily comes up in the earth. What brought it? The Holy Spirit brooding. Then come along the dahlia, the azalea, and the other bush. Then along come the vegetation, the Holy Spirit brooding. [Blank spot on tape—Ed.] Then along came, after the vegetation, came the trees, then the plant life, then after while birds begin to fly from the dust of the earth, the Holy Spirit brooding them together and sent them into the air. Then along came the animal life, the Holy Spirit brooding.
Genesis 1:11-12 (KJV) 11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11-12 (AMP) 11And God said, Let the earth put forth [tender] vegetation: plants yielding seed and fruit trees yielding fruit whose seed is in itself, each according to its kind, upon the earth. And it was so. 12The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed according to their own kinds and trees bearing fruit in which was their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it.
The Fourth Seal
63-0321 · Jeffersonville, Indiana
92I was talking to a person, not long ago, was trying to discuss with me, and saying, “Aren’t you ashamed to say that God created the heavens and earth in three days?” I…Or, “…in six days?”
I said, “That what the Bible said.”
93 Said, “Well, we got evidence and can prove that the world is millions of years old.”
94 I said, “That didn’t have anything to do with it. In Genesis 1:1, It said, ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.’ Period! That’s all, see. ‘Now the world was out form, and void.’” And I said, “I believe every seed was laying right there, from some other civilization or something. And as soon as the water lifted off, and the light struck it, up come the trees and everything.”
95 And the same thing with a human being, is a type. When all the—the—the mist had moved away, and the revealed Truth to that real seed laying there, is still germitized, and the Light of the Gospel can strike it by true a vindication of the Word, it’ll live. It’s got Life in it. It’ll believe. Outside of that, it can’t live; it hasn’t got no Life in it.
Ephesians 1:3-12 3Blessed* be* the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly* places* in Christ: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Matthew 24:35 (also in Mark 13:31) 35Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Isaiah 55:11 11So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper* in the thing* whereto I sent it.

33 Now, if we are those attributes of God, we cannot live by creed. We cannot live by denominationalism. We must live by the Word, because the Bride is a part of the Bridegroom, like any wife is a part of her husband. Therefore, we must be that Word Bride. And what is that Word Bride? The manifestation of this hour, the Bride, not a creed or a denomination; but a living oracle of God, a living attribute of God, displaying to the world the attributes of God, in the formation of the Bride that’s to be expressed in this hour that we’re now living.
34 Martin Luther could not express the attributes that we express, because that that was in the beginning, the resurrection, like the corn of wheat that went into the earth.

184 “Predestinated!” There’s the mystery. He, before Christ or anything else was ever on earth, you see His great mystery, that He chose the Bride. Knowing Eve would fall, from disbelieving the Word, knowing that she would fall; but He would choose a Bride that would not fall, that would hold to that Word regardless of what all the rest of the world had to say about It. They would hold to that Word! They are predestinated to stand there, “the adoption of children by Jesus Christ,” predestinated the Church to that great, glorious stand!** (Ephesians 1:3)
185 Now you see His secret? What to? To restore fallen Eve, as she was a prefigure of the Church. And now notice, as God opened up the side of Adam and took out Eve, by his own flesh and blood; and divided his spirit from masculine and feminish, to feminish, and put it in Eve. Took the rib from under his side, and made Eve out of it; so God did the same thing, taking out of the side of Christ, the Blood and the water. And Christ is the Word, and taking the Word and making up His Church, Eve; see, back to Himself again, redeemed by the Blood that was come from His Body. You see it now? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.]

That’s right, ‘cause there is One, only one resource of Eternal Life, and that is God, and Him alone has Eternal Life. See? Now, and you were a part of Him, insomuch that you’re an attribute, or in His thinking in the beginning. And that, because He thought of you in the beginning, it gives that little tug towards Him.

And the thought is expressed and becomes a word. Then, each individual in here, that possesses this Eternal Life, was before the foundation of the world, in God’s thinking. It’s the only way it could be, ‘cause you’re a attribute. That’s an expression of a thought, has become a Word; and a Word has taken Life, and it’s Eternal. That’s the reason we have Eternal Life.

And I’m trying to show you the—the…and let you realize that I’m speaking now of the Church, and also quickened to Life, in Him.

Now, John Doe is born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies, because he’s a mortal. But, maybe, he gets a little religious feeling. He’ll go join a church. Maybe he’ll join Pentecostal church. Don’t know. He might join anything. But let him get under the atmosphere of God, once. See? John Doe is bound to recognize Who his Father is, just as that eagle recognized who the mother was. It’s got to realize it. See? Only, that John Doe is God’s attribute that’s become a word, spoken, and then the Holy Spirit seeks that word out. Here it is.

293 If you are a Christian now, a genuine predestinated seed, you was in God before there was a…You always was in God. The germ of your life, which is an attribute of God, which was His thought.
294 Say, for instance, this pretty little lady sitting here, see. God said, “In the day there will be a girl, her name will be So-and-so. She will be this, thus, and this,” and even know to this very hour, “she would sit and listen at the Message, dressed in a red dress.” See, that was His thought. Whoever your husband is, and whoever he is; and He would bring this together, and you would sit here in—in this—this city at this day. There could be no way for you to fail it, see, because you’re growing. And as long as you’re seed inside, growing, you have to produce just exactly what the seed said you would do. That’s exactly. It’s His Word; He keeps His Word, He watches over It.
295 You was in your father, as a germ, and you come forth as a daughter; you, you, every one of you, brothers and sisters, you come forth. If you wasn’t in your father, then you wouldn’t have been here.
296 And if you wasn’t in God…If you believe the message of the Bible, and the present Message of the day, a vindication of It; the reason you are sitting here, because you were predestinated to set here. You wouldn’t have been here, otherwise; you would have been on the street, maybe drunk, some of you; and some of you out here and running around with some other man’s wife; and you women out, married, and running around with some other women’s husband, or something like that. See, but you were predestinated to be here. See, you can’t help it. You have a Father, He is God, and you were a seed.
297 And when He come to a place, He’s got you now to where…You was in Him then, as a thought, now you are a person that can fellowship with Him. See? Like you was in, you was in your fathers, at the beginning, but now you are sons and daughters, so you can fellowship with your parent. Now we’re sons and daughters of God, who can fellowship with our Father God. See, it’s just as beautiful! Don’t you like that? [Congregation says, “Yes!”—Ed.] Then you become like Him. And if we were sons, then you’re attributes, and was in His form at the beginning.
298 And, remember, if you was in Him at the beginning; and when Jesus, which is God, the Word made flesh and dwelt among us; then you were in Him and stood the insults that He took. You went to Calvary with Him, in Him. You died, in Him. You arose, in Him. And now you are seated together in Heavenly places, in Him. See?

91 When a germ comes into the womb of—of the female, it don’t take on…You, you didn’t become a human germ from your father, and then the next thing you become a germ from a dog, and the next thing from a cat, the next thing from a chicken. It was all human germ.
And the Body of Jesus Christ, the Bride, will be part of His Body. Which will…He was the Word, and the Bride will have to be the Word; Word added to Word, add to Word. Luther’s justification, Wesley’s sanctification, Pentecostals’ baptism of the Holy Spirit, restoration of the gifts, and all the rest of It, goes with It. See? It’s got to be Word on top of Word, germ on top of germ, Life on top of Life, to bring out the full stature of the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, remember, you was an attribute.
92 And now, the thing of it is, after we find out these things, that Christ is coming for His Bride, now how do we get into that Bride? That’s the question.
Many say, “Join our congregation.” One of them wants a certain type of baptism. One wants to do this or that. One said, “You must speak with tongues, or you haven’t got It.” The other one said, “You don’t have to speak with tongues.” This one says, “You must dance in the spirit.” This says, “You must shout.” This, “Got a sensation.” It’s all all right, and then, still, it’s all wrong.
How could a man that’s…or a woman, or a child of God, that’s born of the Spirit of God, deny the Word of God? When, God Himself interpret It and say, “This is It. I promised It. Here It is,” showing It just as plain as It can. Why, they’re bound to see It. See? How could Christ deny His Own Word? And if Christ is in you, It can’t deny His Own Word.
93 Then how do we get into this Body? First Corinthians 12, “By one Spirit we’re all baptized into this Body, by one Holy Spirit baptism.” That, if you want to put that down, it’s First Corinthians 12:13. “And by one Spirit we are all baptized.” And the Spirit is the Life of Christ. Is that right? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] The Life of Christ! And the life of any seed…Which, He was the Word Seed, brings the Seed to Life. You get it? If that—if that Life is laying in the Seed, and this baptism of the Holy Spirit comes upon It, it’s bound to bring that Seed Life.
