they cannot see the right things
of life. Did you ever stop to think
what this seed means to you? 1t
means Jesus has come into your
heart and set up his kingdom.
That is the reason you can't sin.
Stop and think: good tree can
not bring forth evil fruit; neither
can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit-Matt. 7:18. So we
have got to be free from sin or we
have got to be free from Christ.
We can't be both. We can't serve
sin and be a Christian. We can't
lust after the world and serve God.
We have got to put down one or
the other; we can't be on the fence
and save our soul.
Brother, when this spiritual
seed gets in your heart, you have
not got to be telling it. The world
will see Jesus in you and He will
take all that "don't want to" out
of your life. Then we are fit to
serve our country and help make
it fit to live in. When we are born
again, we then know how to help
one another; how to speak clean
language. Some day you will read
in the papers that George R. Will
lis is dead. Don't you believe it. At
that moment l will be more alive
than l now am / shall have gone
up higher-that is all-out of this
old clay tenement into a house
that is immortal; a body fashioned
like unto his glorious body. I was
born of the flesh and was born
of the spirit. That which is born
of the flesh may die, but that
which is born of the spirit will live
forever. So then this spiritual
seed makes US live a righteous
life, then we can gain new heights
every day, and we will grow away
from this body until finally we
can bid farewell TO this world and
say that we are seeking a country
to come whose maker and builder
is God. And we will grow so
strong in the spirit until we have
developed that spiritual body, and
then we will want to go.
