TABERNACLE TEACHING SERIES THE
SAME SEED By
C.W. Wood January
2004
In 1962, God’s Prophet, William Branham, preached two sermons
entitled, “The Spoken Word is the Original Seed.” It took most of
one day for him to preach them, one in the morning and the other the
same afternoon. Both together, were about six hours long. In these two
messages, he made some astounding statements that this writer believes
has led to a powerful revelation. It concerns finding out who we are in
God’s spiritual realm and has to do with the fact that scripture says,
“Every seed must bring forth of its kind.”
In the first chapter of Genesis, the Holy Ghost said that every
seed was to reproduce “after
its own kind.” This order of God was repeated eight times, and
included botany life, all beast, fish of the waters, and human life as
well. In Gen. 1:26, God said, “Let
us make man in our Image, after our Likeness….” That is to say,
“Let us make man after our own kind.” And we know from the
Prophet’s Message that this first creation of man was in a body called
a Theophany. It was a body like God’s own Theophany Body.
God’s Seed produced offspring “after God’s Kind.”
Before God came down and was made flesh in the womb of Mary, and
before the Holy Ghost came to live in the hearts of men, the Bible
teaches that God came down in some kind of a body and walked and talked
with men. Our Prophet said that the body that God appeared to Abraham in
was a Theophany.
QUOTE: IF GOD BE WITH US. PAGE 10, “It was God, it was a
Theophany. A man in the form of God, like appeared to Abraham back in
the wilderness, and He looked like a man.” (End quote)
Gen. 3:8 tells us that in
QUOTE: SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED, PAGE 18, “The
Bible said, ‘Let every seed
bring forth its kind.’ Now when God said that, that settles it.
It’s always settled. Let every seed bring forth of its kind.” (End
quote)
There are many different kinds of seed, and the Bible says that
the very first seed of any kind was a WORD that God had spoken. God
spoke the word GRASS and grass appeared. God spoke the fruit trees by
NAME and they appeared. He said let there be LIGHTS in the firmament,
and the Sun, Moon, and Stars appeared. He spoke and the fish and the
beast of the earth appeared, and God saw that all this was good. But, He
was not through with His Creation. He had been working toward creating
His masterpiece, a man with a body made in His own Image.
In creating this man, God used the same method that had brought
the rest of creation into being, He spoke, and that Seed Word produced a
man. That man was like his Creator because the Seed that produced him
was God’s own Seed, and every seed will produce after its own kind.
God’s own Seed produces God’s own kind! So God created His own kind
in Theophany Bodies in the beginning. (Gen. 1:26)
God’s Seed produces God wherever it’s planted. When the Holy
Ghost overshadowed the Virgin Mary and planted God’s Seed in her, it
produced Jesus Christ, who was God in flesh. When God said in Gen.
1:26, “Let us make man in
our Image, after our likeness,” there appeared God like beings in
Heaven, with bodies like their Father, the Creator. God’s Spoken Word
Seed produced Son’s of God with bodies like their Father. It was a law
of God and so it could not be otherwise. Some of these Son’s of God
were created to fall and follow Lucifer, but some were “ELECT
ANGELS” who would not fall. (See I Tim. 5:21)
Following the rebellion of Lucifer in Heaven, and his being cast
out along with the angels who chose to follow him, the time came for God
to place His true Sons on Earth, to be tested and tried. Perhaps Lucifer
had another conversation with the Lord concerning these faithful Angels,
much as he had with Him about Job. Lucifer declared that if God would
open the hedge and let him in to test and try Job, he would curse God.
Is it too far fetched to believe that Lucifer declared to God
that if He would let him test and try the Elect Angels, he could cause
them to follow him also? At any rate, that is what the Lord did. He took
a seed out of the original creation of man and placed it here on Earth
in the new-born flesh bodies of His Sons. They were to grow up and be
put to the test to prove they would not follow Lucifer, but overcome him
with God’s Word.
QUOTE: C.O.D. BOOK, PAGE 340, “Notice now, when man was
separated from the Theophany and put in flesh, he wasn’t just
altogether there (in flesh); part of his being was still a Theophany.
(End quote)
QUOTE: C.O.D. BOOK, PAGE 344, “That’s the way we are
here, we came from a higher being (a Theophany). In the beginning we
were in the Image of God. The veil of darkness keeps us from knowing it
now, but Jesus told His disciples He was with them before the foundation
of the world, see! We were……..and if this earthly tabernacle be
dissolved we have one already waiting. Then we move into this Theophany,
what we once lived in.” (End quote)
The Bride of Jesus Christ have in their flesh bodies a part of
God Himself, that was taken from their original created bodies called a
Theophany. This “Part” we speak of is a Seed of God that was
placed in them at their physical birth.
QUOTE: C.O.D. BOOK, PAGE 341, “We are both natural and
supernatural.” (End quote) I Cor. 15:44, “There
is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.”
QUOTE: C.O.D. BOOK, PAGES 20-23, “He made the man and
the woman before they was ever formed out of the dust of the Earth, and
then God made man, NOT in His own Image. This body (of flesh) is not in
the Image of God, this body is in the Image of Beasts. Jesus told His
disciples that He knew them before the foundation of the world, before
the world was ever formed.” (End quote)
God allowed Lucifer to enter the human race through the Serpent,
into Eve, then into Adam, and from Adam into every human born of sex.
Our flesh bodies are the result of the sin in
When God’s time came, He watered that Seed and it sprang into
life. We call that the “New Birth.” It amounts to our God slaying
the old soul and replacing it with His own Soul (a portion of His own
Soul). THE BREATH-TAKING REVELATION IS THAT THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE IN
THE SEED PLACED IN THE VIRGIN MARY, AND IN THE SEED PLACED IN EVERY
PREDESTINATED SON AND DAUGHTER OF GOD! We know that the seed in Mary
produced Jesus Christ, who was God in the flesh.
Do we not also know that the Seed placed in us was to do the same
thing? Gal. 4:19, “My
little children, of whom I travail in birth again UNTIL CHRIST BE FORMED
IN YOU.” God’s Seed, His own Seed, is all of one kind, and it
can only produce after its kind, and its kind is God. (The Bride is not
God, so as to be worshipped, but they are OF HIM, born-again spiritually
of His Seed.) I Peter 1:23, “Being
born again, not of CORRUPTIBLE SEED, but of INCORRUPTIBLE, by the Word
of God, which liveth and abideth forever.”
We were
born physically by corruptible seed, the seed of our earthly
father whose blood line was corrupted because of Adam’s sin. But, at
our spiritual birth, the INCORRUPTIBLE SEED OF GOD that had been
placed in us beforehand was quickened into life, and the glorious result
will be “Christ formed in us.” Can we not see then that the seed we
received at our physical birth was of the same source as the seed
placed in the Virgin Mary? It was God’s Seed, and therefore can
produce nothing less than God!
Who are we then in our INNER-MAN? We are truly Sons and Daughters
of the Great King. King Jesus lives in these flesh bodies! To be called
“Sons of God” is not just a saying, it is a scriptural fact. With
this revelation continually in our thoughts, how then should we conduct
ourselves as we take this Creator King Jesus from place to place in our
daily walk? No doubt some questions have come into your minds concerning
what we have said about there being no difference in God’s Seed, in
that wherever it is planted, it can only produce God. For example, you
may ask, “If I have the same seed that was placed in Mary (which
produced Christ, who was literally God), then why is it that I cannot
live totally above sin, as my Lord did? This is a fair question, but not
one that cannot be answered.
The answer to this question has to do with the TIME the Seed was
placed in Mary, as compared to the TIME it was placed in us. The Holy
Ghost overshadowed Mary BEFORE she knew a man. Therefore, the
blood in her Son Jesus was not from the lineage of Adam, but from God
Himself, and the Bible says, “The
Life is in the Blood.” (Lev. 17:11) At our physical birth, this
Seed of God was placed in us AFTER our mother had known our
father. Therefore, our blood-line was contaminated because it was from
the lineage of Adam.
Through the blood-line then, our Lord Jesus was ENABLED to live
above all sin. Not that He was not tempted like as we are, but that He
had in Him the ABILITY, through the Blood of God, to overcome all
sin, and it was the plan for Him to do so. He was to be the REDEEMER,
and as such, He had to be a sin-free sacrifice. We were to be born needing
to be redeemed because of what our first parents did in
Could not God have placed His seed in us BEFORE our
mothers had known a man? Surely He could have done so, He is God. He
does whatsoever pleases Himself. But, His plan was to be a Saviour and a
Redeemer, and if we had been born of a Virgin also, this would have
defeated His plan to show forth that powerful Love that had before time
had no proper way of expression. We would have needed no Redeemer.
Aren’t you glad, Dear Bride that we know, according to the
Prophet and the Word of God, that there is nothing “out of cater?” “The
creature (us) was made
subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who hath
subjected the same in hope.” (Rom.
Heb. 2:14, “For
as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also
Himself likewise took part of the same, that through death He might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is the Devil.”
And so
God’s Great Plan was to subject His Sons and Daughters to flesh
bodies, in which they could not keep His Law perfectly (Gal.
2:21), but He would also make the Captain of their Salvation PERFECT
through sufferings, in the same kind of a flesh body.
Heb. 2:10, “For
it became Him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in
bringing MANY SONS unto glory, to make THE CAPTAIN of their salvation
perfect through sufferings.”
Heb.
Paul said, “Christ is
being formed in you.” Gal. 4:19, “My
little children of whom I travail in birth again, until Christ be formed
in you.” (It takes the Seed of God to form God in us.)
Did our Prophet actually teach that we are of the same seed (in
our spiritual man) that produced Jesus Christ?
QUOTE: THE SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED, PAGE 30,
“If you want a life of God, start with the Word of God…….And if
that is the fullness of God in you, then the rain that’s falling will
produce exactly what’s in your garden………FOR IT IS THE SAME
SEED WORD OF GOD. God’s Son was His example seed….The very life
that He produced (in Mary), that same watering Spirit of the Holy Ghost
will bring forth the same kind of life, doing the same thing He did. IF
IT’S THE SAME SEED. SON OF GOD SEED WILL BRING FORTH THE SON OF God
SEED.” (End quote)
QUOTE: SPOKEN WORD IS THE ORIGINAL SEED, PAGE 31-32,
“And a real seed of God is an absorbent for the Spirit. All
denominations is took out. All unbelief is out, and when the Holy
Spirit comes into that germ of life that’s laying there, it produces
another seed, just exactly. Another Son of God is born. Amen! Another
amateur God, Son of God.”……When God and his Word becomes one
(Hallelujah) that’s when God’s Spirit waters the Seed of God, the
Word of God. It produces God; and it’s not the individual, it’s
God. For what? You are dead, you’re not yourself anymore. You reckon
yourself dead, hollowed out, waiting for the seed germ. Then what is it?
It isn’t you anymore, isn’t the man, it’s God in the man. It’s
the Seed
Friends, our Father God is still in the process of revealing to
us who we actually are! We are so very much aware of our sins and
failures in our flesh man, that we are slow to understand that God is
still producing HIMSELF in flesh bodies. Not that our flesh is of God,
but our innermost being, our NEW SOUL is of God, IT IS GOD. When our
mind can comprehend this most powerful and glorious fact, it is then
that our devilish flesh will be made to bow down before this God that is
in us!
It is then that, by Faith, we will be enabled, as was the Apostle
Paul, to keep this flesh body under. Our struggles to overcome satanic
flesh will be over, and we will simply rely on the God who is in us to
do it for us. All He has been waiting for is for us to realize that we
will never, on our own, be able to do it. This makes Him more precious
to us than ever, realizing that He has made all of His mighty power
available to His own Seed.
As this truth seeps into our minds, other great revelations will
emerge. For example, we will see that God will bless even the things
that we touch. The Apostle Paul, in reading the Old Testament scrolls,
learned that whatever the Prophet Elijah touched was blessed. (The staff
that he carried sent to be laid on a dead boy). From that example,
Brother Branham said Paul learned that he could send cloths from his
body and see people blessed and healed. So did the Prophet of our age
make use of this powerful anointing.
But, we must remember that this anointing is not something we
gain by being Holier than some others. It is something God has done by
placing His own seed in us. We had nothing to do with that Seed
planting; it was not given because of any good He saw in us. We have it
simply because He chose to manifest us on Earth as one of His
attributes. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are. (James
5:17) Paul rebuked the people who would have offered sacrifices unto him
and Barnabas after seeing the man at Lystra healed, saying, “Sirs,
why do you these things? We also are men of like passions with
you….” (Acts 14:8-15) Peter
said in Acts 3:11-12, “Ye
men of
We do not
gain this anointing by living a perfect life in our flesh. We have it
because God saw fit to place His Seed in us and then quicken it,
resulting in our being given a New Soul. Why do we wait any longer then,
Bride of Christ? It is time for us to move forward, with the knowledge
that we are the anointed of God, even while we still live in an
imperfect flesh body. Let us walk every hour with a repentant heart,
dropping every sin into the Blood of God, while we do His works.
The anointing that is on us will cause souls to be saved, devils
to be cast out, and people to be healed. Is this not the Bride Revival
that the scriptures and the Prophet said would come? Let us walk with a
new faith, expecting devils to tremble and manifest themselves to us,
even as they did to our Lord when He was here in His own body. He is
here now in our body, not a different Christ, but the same one who cast
these devils out 2000 years ago. These devils have known who we are ever
since that Seed was quickened in us, and now that we are finding out who
we are, they will no longer be able to hide from us.
We know they are the reason people can’t get through to God to
receive the Holy Ghost and to be healed. We cannot give the Holy Ghost,
nor heal a body, but the Prophet said we can bind or cast out the Devil
spirits that are keeping them from it. (See Page 14, paragraph 30 in the
Demonology Book.)
May God move us straight into the End-Time Revival. May His work
then be completed through us, and may you come for us quickly, Lord
Jesus. Amen! PLEASE
