Identified Himself, in the beginning, with the prophets. Now, remember, the prophets is who the Lord speaks through. And—and now notice, He identified Himself in human beings, from the very beginning, from the very start of time. He always has a way of doing things, and He never changes His way. That’s the reason I can believe His Word.

Many times, God let’s us, when we get all bound up with the world, bound up, He let’s the fiery tests come upon us, where we have to make a decision. And when we do that, the only thing the test can do, when a real Seed of Abraham is standing at the—the crossroads of a decision, and he makes his decision to serve God, it can only cut the bands loose and make us free.

But that’s exactly what God requires: forsake all and follow Him. That’s God’s requirement. We’ve got to do it too. Sometime we’ve got to forsake our very thoughts. If our thoughts about anything is contrary to God’s Word, we’ve got to forsake our own thinking and follow Him.

“Bring forth His, God’s fruit, see, in the season that the messenger is ordained to come.” He’ll bring forth those. Now remember that. The messenger that brings the fruit of God, will bring it in God’s season, in the season of the bringer. See? “He will bring forth His fruit in his season.” And It cannot wither. Why? He’s got predestinated fruit in there. It can’t destroy It, because It’s predestinated.

And so we see, as witnesses, of Hebrews 11 and many places in the Bible, that the heroes of faith are those who stayed with God’s promise. Just stay right there, no matter what anyone else says, and God will grant it to you in His own good time.

Now, the first man and first woman in the garden of Eden was in perfect harmony with God, so much that God could come down at any time He desired and talk lip-to-ear with Adam and Eve. Now, that is perfect oneness, God and His creation, God speaking lip-to-ear with Adam and Eve.

"Only one law is laid down, that is, “If thou canst believe.” That is the agreement. Satan claims that we will not believe, and God says we will believe. Now the battle is on, and the decision is ours to make. 

"No matter what it seems like, or what others say, the religion of Jesus Christ has never been popular. And It never will be popular, because the world knows its own. See? And you’re not of the world, when you become a Christian. You are a different person, from the world."

But a man that’s ever born of the Spirit of God, his—his course is set towards the North Star. Hallelujah! And all hell will never shake him. That’s right. I don’t say he won’t make mistakes. I won’t say he won’t slip and fall. That’s right. But as soon as he can get his feet again, his eyes is set on the Star yonder, and he moves on. Sure. “Elected!”

Why do we fear then? As long as we know the love of Christ is resting Divinely in our heart, that we’ve passed from death unto Life, all demons out of hell hasn’t got a chance to get in, even at death, if you’ll continue in that love and faith.
