A couple of announcements. You
saw in the bulletin where Sherry Johnson was going to be baptized.
I guess I looked at the letter thinking she wasn't going to
be here, so I didn't get ready for it. So it's going to be next
week. Sorry, Sherry. Lowell said he wrote me and Sometimes
I don't look at my phone. I don't know what happened. I'm
bad about that. But we'll do that next week, Lord willing. And if anybody wants to confess
Christ and believers baptism, we'll have a baptism next week. Also tonight, Gabe Stoniker is
going to be here. And he's going to tell us about
the mission work in Malawi, Africa. Now there's a missionary we support
by the name of Willie Mapote. And I've never met him. and we're
going to learn about his ministry through that. Gabe went there
this year and spent almost three weeks there with him and he's
going to bring a slideshow and let us know something about the
work there so we can get to know more of it and pray for those
people. You know, there are not many
people that preach the gospel of God's grace and he's there and we're
thankful for him and we'll learn a little bit more about him through
that. I've entitled this message, When
He Saw His Glory. Look in verse 41. These things said Isaiah when
he saw his glory and spake. of him, John 12, 41. Now the
Lord's public ministry in John's gospel had ended with these words,
verse 36, the last sentence, these things spake Jesus and
departed and did hide himself from them. Does it say that? Yes, it does. These things spake
Jesus and departed and he did hide himself from them. The last words with regard to
his public ministry in the book of John chapter 13 begins his last 24 hours with his disciples. John chapters 13 through 17,
such a precious passage of scripture with his disciples. And verses
37 through verse 50 in this chapter are a kind of parentheses between
chapter 12 and chapter 13 of the ending of the Lord's public
ministry and then his private teaching to his disciples in
his last 24 hours with them. It is an interlude, as it were,
before his betrayal and his death. And he quotes Isaiah. John is quoting Isaiah. He says,
these things said Isaiah when he saw his glory and spake of
him. Of this I'm sure. If a man sees
his glory, I know what His subject will be. He will speak of Him. Verse 37, John chapter 12, But though He
had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on
Him. Now there are two truths taught
in this verse of scripture. Number one, unbelief is willful. Number two, faith never comes
by sight. Now notice it says though he
had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on
him." Now this is talking about these physical miracles that
the Lord performed with them seeing this. They were eyewitnesses
to these miracles. Now in the book of John, seven
miracles or mentioned that actually took place where Jesus Christ
did what only God can do. And they were witnesses to this. He changed water into wine. It It was not water that now
smelled like wine or looked like wine or even tasted like wine.
It was wine. He made it to be what it was
not. He healed a man, the nobleman's
son, simply as an act of his will without the use of means. He just willed his healing. It
took place. He said to a man who had been
crippled for 38 years, rise, take up thy bed and walk. And
this was done before a crowd. And you think about this man
had been laying there for 38 years in inability. All of a
sudden he has the strength to get up and walk, take up his
mat and walk. This was witnessed. Only God
can do this. brought matter into existence
in the universe that was not there before when he fed the
5,000 with five loaves, five biscuits, and two sardines. Matter
was brought into existence. Now this is the same power that's
used in creation when he created the universe. This matter was
not there. He made it. Only God can do that. As a matter of fact, the people
that he fed wanted to make him king because of this. They thought
this can start a welfare state. We'll be in good shape. We want
him to be king. He exercised complete control
over physical law. He changed the physical laws
when he walked on water. And they saw this, they were
witnesses to it. He walked on water and at the
same time he controlled the weather. When he went into the ship, the
storm ceased and there was a great calm. The disciples said, what
manner of man is this that even the winds in the sea obey him? What manner of man is this? He
did what only God can do. He gave sight to a man that was
born blind. And then I suppose his most spectacular
miracle, we read about it in John chapter 11. Now these people
observed this, people saw this. There was a man by the name of
Lazarus that had been dead four days. And there was no question
with regard to his death because he'd already began the process
of decay and he stunk. There was no mistaking about
this. Perhaps they could have said regarding the little maid,
well, she wasn't really dead. I mean, her body was still warm. She'd just died. But with regard
to Lazarus, he'd been dead four days in the tomb, stinking. Lazarus, come forth. He that was dead came forth. Only God can do this. Only God. They saw this and they
did not believe. Now, what does that tell me?
Unbelief is willful. They had no excuse not to believe.
Somebody said, I didn't see those things. Well, they did. If you
and I are put in the same position, we can see these things. Faith
never comes by sight. They saw these things and they
did not believe. They willfully chose not to believe,
even though they saw these things. And if you're in unbelief, if
I'm in unbelief, our wills are involved. We're choosing not
to believe. The second thing that I learned
from this is faith never comes by sight. You can see these miracles just
like they did and it won't do you any good. True
saving faith never comes by sight. They saw irrefutable evidence
that he was God and yet They did not believe because faith
never comes by sight. Now, let me try to put this into
terms that you and I can understand. Well, I could believe if. I could believe if I could see
more evidence in my life that God had done something for me.
I could believe if I could see change in my life that makes
me know that God is working in my life. I could believe if I
could see more victory in my life, more power over sin. I
could believe if I could see. No, faith never comes by sight. As a matter of fact, if you derived
assurance that you're saved by things that you see in your life,
it's a false assurance. The only assurance there is,
is Christ whom you cannot see. Believing Him. Faith never comes by sight. Verse 37, but though He had done
so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him,
that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled. which
he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom is the
arm of the Lord revealed? Now, how many times in the Bible
do we read that something happened that the scriptures might be
fulfilled? That's in there so many times. These things happened that the
scriptures might be fulfilled. You see, everything is God's
will being done. Now, do you hear that? Everything
is God's will being done. Everything is the fulfillment
of his decree. Everything that happens in time,
he purposed. What about the bad things? Everything
he Purposed. What about when bad things happen
to good people? That ain't never happened. Now, I don't understand how God
is completely sovereign over everything, but I believe it.
He's completely sovereign over the free and uncoerced actions
of men. It's not like somebody says,
well, God's forcing me to do this. No, you do what you want
to, but he's sovereign over it. That's who he is. And everything
happens that the scriptures might be fulfilled. Aren't you glad
it's that way? Now, notice what it said in verse
38, that the saying of Isaiah, the prophet might be fulfilled,
which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? Doesn't
seem like anybody does. Isaiah 53, that's how it begins.
Lord, who hath believed our report? So very few people believe the
gospel. A lot of religious people. Lot
of religious people. So few believe the gospel. Who has believed our report?
And that's a lament. Well, he answers the question
in the next statement, and to whom hath the arm of the Lord
been revealed? You know who believes the report?
The people the Lord reveals himself to. Faith is not a decision.
Faith is by the grace of God a response to His revelation. If you don't believe, He's never
revealed Himself to you. If He's revealed Himself to you,
you believe. That's why you believe. It wasn't
some act of your will where you decided to believe. He revealed
Himself and you believe. Verse 39, look what it says. Therefore they, what's the next
two, three words, could not believe. Didn't say they would not believe. It says they could not believe. They lacked the ability to believe. The same thing is stated in John
chapter 6 verse 44, when the Lord said, no man can come to
me. No man has the ability to come
to me, except the father, which has sent me, draw him. Now listen to this. You and I
by nature are unable to believe. We cannot believe. Somebody says
why? Because we were born bad. Because
we were born evil. Born that way. David said, I
was shaped in an iniquity and sin did my mother conceive me.
Why is it you don't need to teach kids to lie? Why does it come
natural? Because they were born that way. I love to see an innocent looking
kid. When we were driving To church
this morning, I saw a little boy playing with, I guess, his
little sister, and they seemed so innocent. I thought, boy,
I like seeing that. But they're not. Sin comes natural to them. Born
that way. And the reason a man cannot believe,
if God doesn't do something for me or you, we are unable to believe
because of our sinful nature. And that's what he says. Therefore,
they could not believe. They lacked the ability to believe. Because Isaiah said again, now
verse 40, he, here's why they couldn't believe. And this was
the Bible speaking. He, God, hath blinded their eyes,
and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their
eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and
I should heal them. Now here it says God, blinded them, and
hardened their heart." Pharaoh is not the only person
whose heart was hardened by God. Most of you are familiar with
Pharaoh. God hardened his heart. It says that over and over again
through the book of Exodus. God would show him his wonders
and he would say, I'm sorry for doing this. Have mercy on me."
And then God would harden his heart again. And all God's got
to do to harden your heart and my heart is to leave us alone.
Nothing else is needed. All he's got to do is let you
alone, let me alone, and our hearts will harden and our eyes
will be blind. Now this is an act of his justice
when he does this. If he hardens my heart, it wasn't
just some kind of arbitrary choice on his part. I don't think I'm
gonna harden Todd's heart. No, it's because of my sin and my
wickedness. And he would leave me alone.
That's what he did to these people. That is why they could not believe. Now that's the word of God. As
a matter of fact, this is quoted in Isaiah chapter six, and this
passage of scripture is quoted six times in the New Testament.
about God hardening somebody's heart and blinding their eyes.
That's what the Bible says. There's a lot of folks who say,
what are you talking about? I'm just giving what the Bible
says here. God hardened their heart. They could not believe
because God hardened their heart. Now somebody might think, well,
is that fair? Of course it is because whatever
God does is right. Do you believe that? Whatever
God does is right. Therefore they could not believe,
Isaiah said. He had blinded their eyes and
hardened their heart that they should not see with their eyes
nor understand with their heart and be converted and I should
heal them. Now, here we have some idea of
what faith is by what they could not do. Notice it says that they
should not see with their eyes nor understand with their heart
and be converted and I should heal them. Now, they couldn't
do this, but when God gives faith, this is exactly what you do.
you see, here's where faith begins. You see who he is. They didn't
perceive, when God gives you faith, you see who Jesus Christ
is. He's God. And you see that. And you bow before him as he
is. Everything begins with who he
is. That is the issue. Listen to me. The issue is not
what do you think of him, the issue is who he is. Because he
is who he is, whether you believe or not, whether I believe or
not. They understand, they perceive who he is, they see. And next,
it talks about these people who they couldn't understand with
their heart. You see, when he gives you faith, he gives you
a new heart that understands. That's where that faith came
from. Faith isn't exotic. It didn't come out of your natural
heart. He gives you a new heart that understands. That's what
a man understands when God gives him a heart to understand. And
then he says, and be converted or turned. You see, when God
gives you faith, you're turned. You're going in one direction
and you're going in another direction then when he gives you faith.
And I should heal them. You're healed. You're saved when
you believe the gospel. And then John says, these things
said Isaiah when he saw his glory and spake of him. Now I know this. If a man ever
sees his glory, he's only got one subject. Him. Him. Now let's go to where John
is speaking in Isaiah chapter six. Like I said, this passage
is quoted, those last few verses about God hardening their heart
and blinding their eyes is quoted six different times in the New
Testament. But let's begin here in Isaiah chapter six. This is
one of the most thrilling passages of scripture in all the word
of God. Isaiah chapter six. Here's where Isaiah begins. In the year that King Uzziah
died, I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne. high and lifted
up and his train filled the temple." Now there's great significance
in this happening in the year that King Uzziah died. Now Uzziah was a great king. Isaiah prophesied during the
kingship of four different kings, one of them being Uzziah and
Uzziah was actually his cousin. And he loved Uzziah. The scripture
says Uzziah was marvelously helped. And Israel prospered under his
reign. He was one of the five or six
greatest kings. And Isaiah tells us when he died,
I saw the Lord. Now what happened in his death?
I'd like you to turn to 1 Chronicles chapter 26. There's two books of Samuel,
two books of Kings, and then Chronicles. 2 Chronicles 26. Now this is
talking about Uzziah. I'd like you to read this with
me. 2 Chronicles chapter 26. And this is what Isaiah witnessed. And he, Uzziah, verse 15, and
he, made in Jerusalem engines, invented
by cunning men to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot
arrows and great stones with all. And his name spread far
abroad. Everybody in the world knew about
this man, for he was marvelously helped till he was strong. But
when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction. For he transgressed against the
Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense
upon the altar of incense." Now, what's the problem? Only the
priest can burn incense. This man thought, I'm so great,
I can do it on my own without a priest. Look how the Lord's
helped me. Look how the Lord's blessed me.
I can burn incense. Now, incense represents the intercession
of Christ. What this incense says is the
only way I can come into God's presence is through Christ representing
me and bringing me into his presence. The only way my prayers can be
heard is if Christ presents them to the Father. That's the only
way. There is no other way. Well, somehow Uzziah thought,
I've come on my own. He bypassed Christ. That's what
he was doing. Christ said, I am the way, the
truth, the life. No man comes to the Father, but
by me. He was, I said, not me. I can
come on my own. Verse 17, And Azariah the priest
went in after him, and with him the fourscore priests of the
Lord that were valiant men. And these withstood Uzziah the
king, and saith unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah,
to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests, the sons
of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense. Go out of the
sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, neither shall it be for thine
honor from the Lord God. Then Uzziah was wroth. Who do
they think they are? And he had a censer in his hand
to burn incense. And while he was wroth with the
priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the
priests in the house of the Lord from beside the incense altar.
And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked upon
him and behold, he was leprous in his forehead and they thrust
him out from thence. Yea, he himself hasted also to
get out because the Lord had smitten him. And he died a leper. Isaiah said, when I saw that,
I saw the Lord. I saw him in his holiness and
his righteousness that he cannot be approached apart from the
great high priest. Now back to Isaiah chapter six. In the year of the King Uzziah
died, I saw also the Lord sitting. sitting. When he had by himself purged
our sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. Why did he
sit? Because the work was finished.
And if I ever see who he is, I will see that he finished the
work of salvation. That's why salvation is done
by works. It's his work. He finished and he's sitting,
not pacing back and forth in frustration, worrying that his
will's not going to be done. No, sitting in regal splendor
as Lord of Lords, King of Kings. And notice he's sitting on a
throne in absolute control, undisturbed by opposition. sitting in complete
sovereign control, having finished his work. Now this is who the
Lord is. And if you see him, this is the way you'll see him
with this symbolic language. Sitting, having finished the
work, sitting on a throne in uncontested sovereignty, Lord
of Lords, King of Kings. That's who he is. Sitting on a throne. Hi. high and lifted up. Nobody can
get to him. And his train, the skirts of
his garment, filled the temple. Above it, above the throne, stood
the seraphims. Now these angelic creatures,
we go on to read about them, they had six wings. Somebody
says, do you believe in extraterrestrial beings? I do. Angels. These seraphims,
were they the cherubims in Genesis chapter 3 after the fall? Perhaps.
I know they're the living creatures that John spoke of in Revelation
chapter 4. These cherubims. I've heard people say they represent
the preaching of the gospel. I don't think so. If they do,
I don't know it. I think that this has something
to do with these creatures, living creatures around the throne of
God. Six wings, two they covered their
face, two they covered their feet, with two they would fly. Why do they cover their face?
It means burning ones. The word seraphim means burning
ones. Perhaps they were shining like Moses was because of his
near proximity to God. He came out and his face shined.
He hadn't put a veil over it. You remember that? These were
near to God. Perhaps that's why they're called
these burning ones. But they covered their face.
Why? Because God is so glorious that
no one can look upon his face and live. Is that your concept
of God? No one. can look on his face
and live. They couldn't. With two, they
covered their feet. Now what's that all about? I
think they're covering their creatureliness in the presence
of God. They understand that they're
mutable, that the only reason they have not fallen is because
he has preserved them. They've seen the other angels
fall, and they're aware of their own weakness, even ashamed of
their walk, so that they cover it. But they never sinned. Yeah,
but they know they would if he didn't prevent it. They have
some understanding of their own weakness apart from him. And with two, they did fly. ready to execute God's commandments. What beings? Like I said, you
can read about them in Revelation chapter four as well. Verse two,
above it stood the seraphims. Each one had six wings. With
Twain, he covered his feet. With Twain, he covered his feet.
With Twain, he did fly. And one cried unto another and
said, holy, holy, holy. Not love, love, love. Not grace, grace, grace. Not
mercy, mercy, mercy. Holy. Other. Separate. That's what the word
means. Somebody says, isn't that just
moral purity? The Lord's righteous. But to
talk about the moral purity of God is diminishing to the glory
of His character. He has no law over His head.
He has no standard that He needs to meet. He's God. Only He is holy. Holy. Holy. Holy. God the Father is holy. God the
Son is holy. God the Holy Spirit is the Holy
Spirit. Holy. Other, other, other, separate,
separate, separate. The whole earth is full of His
glory, the holiness of God. You know, holiness is the attribute
of the attributes. Holy sovereignty, holy love,
holy wrath, holy grace. Holy independence. There's none
like Him. Holy, holy, holy, though the
darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may
not see, only thou art holy. There is none beside thee perfect
in power, in love, in purity. Holy, holy, holy. is the Lord of hosts, the whole
earth is full of His glory. Verse 4, And the posts of the
door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was
filled with smoke. Such was the power that the very
foundations, the posts of the temple, moved at his cry. And I love the way it says the
house was filled with smoke. You know, When you see the Lord,
you realize you don't see very good, don't you? The house was
filled with smoke. We see through a glass, darkly,
in an enigma. We realize that. And if you ever,
and if I ever have this vision that Isaiah did, we're gonna
be seeing through the smoke right now, aren't we? The whole house
was filled with smoke. Then, verse five, Then said I, woe is me. Now this was Isaiah's response
to seeing the Lord. You know in the previous chapter,
six times he said, woe unto them. How many times do you hear this?
Boy, this country is going to hell in a handbasket. Everything's
so bad. People are so wicked. Things
were so much better. Oh, we say in moral outrage at
the problems in society and the problems in the country and the
problems in the world and the sin in the world and woe is them. If you see the Lord, woe is me. Woe is me. I, look what he says next, I'm
undone. I'm cut off. I'm destroyed. I'm undone. Now that's what happens
when folks see the Lord. All this talk about everybody
else's problems. It doesn't deny the reality of
it, but you see, you're the problem. You, I am undone. Because I'm a man of unclean
lips. Everything that comes out of
my mouth is unclean. And here's why. I've got an unclean
heart. The mouth is the index of the
heart. And that makes me realize that
if I say it, it's unclean because of who said it. Do you realize
that about your heart? that it makes everything that
comes out of your mouth unclean. What if you're quoting the scripture?
That's not unclean is it? Of course the scripture is not
unclean, but I'm unclean. That's the problem. I am a man
of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
lips. They're just like me. Isaiah,
why do you say this? For mine eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts." Now, this is what happens when people see
who he is. You see who you are, not until
then. If you're thinking this is negative, well, it's because
you haven't seen the King. If you see who the Lord is, you're
going to know this is true about yourself. You're going to say,
I'm a man of unclean lips coming from my unclean heart. And I
dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. A sense of personal
sin comes from seeing who God is. Only when you see who he is,
You'll see who you are. I think of Job. He said, I've
heard of thee with the hearing of the ear, but now mine eyes
have seen thee, wherefore I hate myself, and repent in dust and
ashes. Daniel said, when I saw him,
my comeliness, that which I thought was good about me, turned to
corruption. You know, oh, may the Lord give
us a sight of who he is, and that's gonna take care of everything,
isn't it? mine eyes have seen the king the lord of hosts."
I'm cut off. Now let's go on reading verse
six. Then flew one of the seraphims
unto me these six winged creatures with two they covered their face
with two they covered their feet and with two they flew. Then flew one of the seraphims
unto me having a live coal in his hand, which he'd taken with
tongs from off the altar." Now, what's the altar with the fire
going? What's that about? It's about
the sacrifice of Christ. That's what all these sacrifices
represented, the Lord dying on the cross, suffering the wrath
of God. Now, this seraphim went over there with his live coal
from off the altar, speaking of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
and his atonement, what he accomplished. And what did he do? He laid it,
verse 7, upon my mouth and said, lo, this hath touched thy lips,
those unclean lips of yours, and thine iniquity is taken away,
and thy sin is pardoned. Now, notice the language of this.
That seraphim doesn't come with that cold and say, If you apply
this to yourself, your lips will be purged. Your iniquity will
be taken away. You'll be pardoned if you do
your part. No, no. There's no gospel in that message.
He came to announce something that had already taken place. What's already taken place? Your
iniquity is taken away by the sacrifice of Christ. Your sin
is purged. Now, false religion makes this
purging of iniquity, this forgiveness of sin, the end of salvation. If you do this, this, this, and
this, and stop doing that, and start doing better at that, your
sins will be forgiven. No! The gospel begins with the complete
forgiveness of sins, iniquity taken away by the sacrifice of
Christ. He laid it upon my mouth and
said, lo, this from the altar hath touched thy lips, thy iniquity
is taken away and thy sin is purged. Oh, that's the gospel. Also, I heard the voice of the
Lord saying, whom shall I send? And who will go for us? Don't
miss that. Whom shall I send? Who will go
for us? That's speaking of the Trinity.
Whom shall I send? Who shall go for us? Also, whom
shall I send? Who will volunteer to go? The
only persons who volunteer to go are the ones He sends. You
see, the army of the Lord is a draft. Whom shall I send? And it's a volunteer army who
will go for us. We just read, thy people should
be willing in the day of thy power. When the Lord saves somebody,
he makes them willing. Are you willing to be saved by
what Christ did without your works? Are you willing? I am, I'm a volunteer for that
and it's because he made me willing in the day of his power. How shall they preach except
they be sent? Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom
shall I send and who will go for us? Then said he, here am
I, send me. Now here's the passage we read
in John chapter nine. And he said, go and tell this
people, hear ye indeed, but understand not. See ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people
fat and make their ears heavy. and shut their eyes, lest they
see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand
with their heart and convert and be healed. Now, like I said,
this is quoted six times in the New Testament. Very important
passage of scripture. Then said, I love, Lord, how
long, how long you want me to bring this message? And he answered,
until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without
man, and the land be utterly desolate, and the Lord have removed
men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the
land." That's how long you're to bring this message. But, and
this is the but of grace, but God, but yet in it, This
great forsaking, these people that are leave and are hardened,
in it shall be a tenth, a tithe, 10%, and it shall return. You know, if the Lord saves somebody,
you know what they're always gonna do? They're gonna return to the
Lord. That's what they do. It shall return. And it shall
be eaten as a teal tree and as an oak whose substance is in
them." Now, what's he talking about? If you go outside, you're
going to see some trees, and you won't be able to tell whether
they're alive or dead. They don't have any leaves. You
know, there are certain trees in my yard, I always think, I
wonder if they're going to come back this year, because they look
so bad. I think they're not going to make it through the winter,
but then those leaves come, and I think, they made it. They were
alive when they didn't look alive. So the holy seed shall be the
substance thereof. Now this is what is in every
believer, the holy seed, even if you can't see it. And there's
times where there's trees that live, but you can't see that
they're alive, but they are because the holy seed is in them. The holy seed is the new birth. God the Holy Spirit creating
life within. And here's what the Holy Seed
always does. It always returns to Christ. It always looks to Christ alone. Now I want that tree to bear
leaves. I want to bear leaves, don't you? I want to bear fruit.
But I know this, even when that fruit cannot be seen, if the
Lord's done something for me, the Holy Seed Turn to 1 John chapter 3 for
a moment. This will be our last scripture we'll look at. I want
you to see what the Bible means by this. He says, they look dead,
but the holy seeds in them. Verse 9. Whosoever is born of God does
not commit sin. The new nature does not commit
sin. The old nature does. You're very
aware of it. But the new nature does not commit
sin. For his seed, that's the same
seed spoken of in Isaiah chapter six, the holy seed. His seed
remaineth in him and he cannot sin because he's born of God. Now there's going to be a great
forsaking. The tenth will come back and
it's because of the work of Christ in them and they will return. Now these things said Isaiah
all inspired by God the Holy Spirit. These things said Isaiah
when he saw his glory and spake of him. Now Let me give myself
and you some wise counsel. Don't try to figure out whether
or not you have the Holy seed. Believe on Christ and you do.
Whoso believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. I repeat, don't try to figure
out if you have the Holy seed. Look to Christ, believe on him
right now is all that's needed to make you accepted before God.
And you have the holy seed. Let's pray. Lord, we ask in Christ's name. That you would allow by your
grace. Each of us. To see as Isaiah,
thy son, high and lifted up and sitting on a throne. Lord, we
ask that you would give us all the grace to say, woe is me. And then that you would give
us the grace to see. that iniquity is pardoned and
sin is purged away by what your son did. Bless this message for
your glory and for our good. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
