(B) Now let us talk about the things and acts of God and the Creation of God for those who have faith, some faith. Back to Genesis 1:11, “And 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. And 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.” 

So Christ Jesus (God the Son) created plants, and herbs and trees, which later produced its own seed. So, again, the same question: which was first, the chicken or the egg? It can apply to anything. Which was first, the apple tree or the apple? Or a seed, which was first? Which was first, the bee or the flower? Which was first, the wheat or the grain of wheat?  A cob of corn or a corn grain? Which was first? Now we all know that the first which was created were the plants, the chickens.  The egg was not the first. The chickens were first and the apple trees which produced apples. Those apples produced seeds of the same kind. There is no place for evolution, transmuta­tion, or any “-ations” as conceived by Darwin. This is the Creation. That’s the only “-ation” that there is.

The next generation that came from these plants were seeds, and not other plants, right? Now we are not farmers, but we all know what a grain of wheat looks like. Let’s take a grain of wheat. Every farmer knows that if you want to have a harvest you have to take that grain and put it into the ground, not just throw it on top and leave it there, but you have to put it under, and not twenty feet but about two inches. You have to put it right into the ground, into the dirt, into the darkness, cover it with one or two inches and leave it there, right? Now what happens if you do that? The answer is: nothing! Why nothing? Because what it needs is: you have to water it! 

The same thing with any flower that you can put into a pot, you know, into your room. You buy seeds from a flower shop, you put those seeds into the flower pot and should you forget to water it, there goes your flower, you’ll never see a thing. Do you agree? Have you ever tried that?

But the wise ones water it, because everything that we plant must be watered. And so we water it. The water gets down and what happens? This time, what happens is a sheer miracle. I want to repeat it, it is a sheer miracle!  Why? Because that seed, or grain of wheat … I mean you can even take it in your hand, look at it … it’s dry, it’s dead, it’s hard. You can’t maybe even chew on it, it’s absolutely lifeless and useless. And no matter where you put it, it remains like that forever and forever. But put it together with water, sometimes you don’t even need ground, and this water causes a miracle. A new life breaks up this hard shell and begins to grow and push forth from this dead grain, which we call germinating. It germinates.

Furthermore, this new life, when it breaks through, does not start growing downward, have you noticed? There is not one plant on the face of this earth that would start growing down­ward into the darkness — it immedi­ately starts growing up. It knows where the light is! It has to reach it, in fact, because without light it would die. Now, how can this dumb grain know even how to grow? It seemingly has more intelli­gence than many people, but where is it? I was pondering this, and do you know what is the answer? All the true answers are from the Lord: that grain may look dumb, but the life within is not. And that life within that grain or seed, any grain or seed that you find on this earth, starts growing up, because it always grows against the power of gravity! 

Lo and behold, after some time, which may be different for different seeds, a green blade appears from the ground, and all farmers know approximately when it will grow, and they can even tell whether this is the wheat they’ve sown or if this is a weed. And we can tell even by those green blades what kind of plant is growing there. It all starts to grow up and incline itself towards the sun. So if it happens to break the ground some­where under a board, a wooden board or under a roof or under something, it starts to grow horizontally until it reaches the light. It has to reach the light. It all grows towards the sun.

Again, there is no plant or living thing on this earth that would grow away from the sun. Have you noticed that? Does it surprise you? Do you know that Christ created it that way for a purpose, so that even the dumbest pagan who may say, “I never had the faith”, could see and understand? 

Now let me say at this point one other thing. We talk about dumb pagans. Well, we also were dumb pagans, and we should not dare to say before God that we had no faith, because I can tell you in His Name, right here, that there is not one human being that was ever born to this planet that would have been without faith! So when I say let’s talk in Part A about those who seemingly have no faith, the most important word there is “seemingly”, because every human being has faith. Every human being has been endowed with the definite measure of faith. Faith … the definite measure of something spiritual, originat­ing from God, which has nothing to do with this world, with this earth, or with our soul, which means our mind, our understand­ing. Every human being has it, because without it, that poor soul would have no chance to be saved.
