Samuel Dale
EPHESIANS 1:3-13
3 ¶ Blessed [be] the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
[places] in Christ:
EPHESIANS 1:4
4 According as he hath chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame
before him in love:
EPHESIANS 1:5
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption
of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his
will,
EPHESIANS 1:6
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace,
wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
EPHESIANS 1:7
7 In whom we have redemption through his
blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
EPHESIANS 1:8
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all
wisdom and prudence;
EPHESIANS 1:9
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of
his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
EPHESIANS 1:10
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; [even] in him:
EPHESIANS 1:11
11 In whom also we have obtained an
inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
EPHESIANS 1:12
12 That we should be to the praise of his
glory, who first trusted in Christ.
EPHESIANS 1:13
13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that
ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of
promise,

177 "Well," she said, "now, wait
a minute, I--I understand, You being a Jew."
Said, "Now, you Jews," said, "You mean to tell me that You're greater than our father Jacob who dug this
well?" He was the God of Jacob. See? Said, "You mean that You're greater than--than Jacob that dug this well?" An
ordinary Man (See?) looked like, that's all you seen, an ordinary man. Said,
"You say You're greater than our father Jacob who
dug the well, and he drank from it himself, and his cattle? Well, we are just
blessed by drinking this well where that prophet digged."
He said, "Uh-huh." He said...
"And we worship in this mountain. You say at
He said, "Salvation is of the Jew, woman; we know what we're
talking about." He said, "You worship you don't know what." A
Jew's suppose to know the Word (See?), how It was
supposed to be. But, see, He was watching now. Watch. He's going to... What is
He going to do? Prove His Word. See? Why, she said... He said, "By the
way, go get your husband and come here."
And she said, "I don't have any husband."
"Why," He said, "you've told the truth (See?),
because you've had five, and the one you now have is not your husband."
See? Watch. Something happened (See?); something took Life. Now, if it hadn't
have been in there to begin with, if she hadn't have had
representation from predestination, it'd never took hold.

She looked around. Look what a--what a sinful shape she was in.
But, see, He couldn't--He couldn't get that priest, because the priest was a
educated scholar, a theologian in the Word, but no representation in heaven
(See?), wasn't in God's thinking at all. But this woman was. She said,
"Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."
That's just all He wanted her to see. See? Said, "We believe that You are... I believe You're a
prophet. Now, we know. We don't understand about the prophets now, because it's
real late; we know that there's a Messiah coming. And when that Messiah comes,
He's going to be the Word. See? He's going to know the secrets of the heart;
He's going to do the same thing that--that You did
there." Said, "You must be one of His prophets to forerun Him or
something."
He said, "I'm He."

Before I close this subject, I know there is a question in your
minds. You will want to know if I believe in the doctrine of pre-existence. I
don't believe in that Mormon doctrine of the pre-existence of souls any more
than I believe in reincarnation or the transmigration of souls. Be careful here
and see this. It is not the person that comes predestinated eternally from God,
IT IS THE WORD, OR SEED. That is it. Way back there, too far back for
the human mind to grasp, the Eternal God with eternal thoughts, thought and
decreed, "JACOB HAVE I LOVED, BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED, (Romans 9:13) AND
NEITHER WAS BORN, AND NEITHER HAD DONE GOOD OR EVIL." See, it was the
THOUGHT, and then that thought became expressed, and God bought back Jacob,
because Jacob alone was SEED. Jacob, alone had the seed; that is why he had
respect to the birthright and covenant of God. If you are true seed, you will
hear that Word; the Spirit will baptize you into the body of Christ, filling
you and empowering you, and you will receive the Word for your day and age. See
how clear the true evidence becomes when the Word is revealed to you? Again,
note, Jesus was the Royal Seed. He lived in a human body. When the Spirit
called to Him (the Word-Manifested Thought), He went to

Life, and that's God. That's the only thing that is eternal, is God. Then if you've got Eternal Life,
that Life that's in you always was, and you were in the loins of God
before there even was a world. And when the Word Itself... Jesus Himself is

21-5 Now, look at this priest here. We find his
bottom part here, his back life, back behind him, his
predestination back here is sinful. Here's hell down here. Now,
this little part in here (looks like the blackboard), that represents his
purity. He was a priest; he was an honorable man. That represented this. He was
also had to be a good man or he couldn't be a priest. But you see how he got
it? With intellectual learning.

22-1 Now this little woman, her first life up
here, she was a prostitute. She was all marred up, but way down in her here was
just a little bit of understanding: "I know when the Messiah
cometh..." See? That was there.
Notice, when Jesus came and manifested the Word, because the Word
discerned the thoughts that was in the heart (as
Hebrews 4 says It will--4:12--that He would)... The Word was a discerner of the
thoughts of the heart, and He came as the Son of man, the Prophet. What
happened? This priest with only intellectual learning said, "It's a
devil," because that's what his denomination called it. What did it do? He had no representation, so it blacked him out.

24-7 Oh, make known by His prophets all of His
manifestations, because it's His attributes of His thoughts expressed. Now, here it was in this little woman; she was one of His
attributes. See?
And there was a priest representing the Light: he had
learned it from the Bible; he had learned that God was God; he had learned that
holiness was right; he was learned that there was a law of God; he'd learned it
because of intellectual conception. And he was born of the right lineage: he
was a Levite; but he only knowed it by intellectual
conception. And when the Light of the hour... See, he learned it by what had
happened; not what was happening, what had happened. And when he found what was
happening, his denomination said nothing about it; therefore, he had no
representation of it. But here was a Redeemer on earth at that time to redeem
those attributes of God, and she received it.

"You are blind and naked." Now this is really desperate.
How can anyone be blind and naked and not know it? Yet it says that they are
blind and naked and can't perceive it. The answer is,
they are spiritually blind, and spiritually naked. Do you remember when Elisha
and Gehazi were surrounded by the army of the
Syrians? You recall that Elisha smote them blind by the power of God. Yet their
eyes were wide open and they could see where they were going. The blindness was
peculiar in that they could see certain things, but other certain things such
as Elisha and the servant and the camp of

exactly... Even that little woman in all of her sin there at the well, she
recognized Him. She said, "We know the Messiah's coming, which is called
the Christ, that's what He'll do." See, she recognized because she
was a predestinated seed. Then she... Where the rest of them
didn't recognize It, they had nothing to recognize
with. They were in sin to begin with.
151-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
But to go on. These elect were not only the eternal
thoughts of God which were to be expressed in flesh in their due season, but
these same elect are called by another name. Romans 4:16. "Therefore it is
of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to
all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is
of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all." Romans 9:7-13,
"Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are
they all children: but, in Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the
children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. For
this is the word of promise, At this time will I come,
and Sarah shall have a son. And not only this; but when Rebekah had also
conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; (For the children being not yet
born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to
election might stand, not of works, but of Him That calleth;)
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the
younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
Galatians 3:16, "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of
many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ." Galatians 3:29,
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to
the promise." According to Romans 4:16 we find that God has given a Sure
Promise to ALL of Abraham's seed, and Paul puts himself and all believers under
that designation because he says "Abraham who is the father of us
ALL." Then he goes on to not only narrow down his definition, but rather
to finalize it for in Galatians 3 he identified the SEED (singular) with Jesus,
and counted "the seed children" as children of promise, and promise
as having to do with "election", or "the choosing of God".
And that is exactly what we have been saying. These who are of the Royal Seed
are the elect of God; are the predestinated, fore-known of God, and were in the
mind of God and His thoughts. In very plain language the True Bride of Christ
was in the mind of God eternally, though not expressed until each came forth in
the designated, decreed season. As each member came forth it became EXPRESSED
and took its place in the body. Thus this bride is the literal SPOKEN WORD SEED BRIDE. And
though she is feminine in designation she is also called the "body of
Christ". It is very apparent that she ought to be called that for she was
predestinated in Him, came from the same source, was eternal with Him, and is
now manifesting God in a many membered body whereas
once God was manifested in ONE MEMBER, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
152-1 SMYRNAEAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.4
Now then, here we are coming to a conclusion. As the eternal Logos
(God) was manifest in the Son, and in Jesus dwelt all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily, and that Eternal One was the Father manifest in flesh, and
thereby gained the title of Son, even so we, eternal in His thoughts in our
turn became the many membered Spoken Word Seed,
manifest in flesh, and those eternal thoughts now manifest in flesh are the
sons of God, even as we are so called. WE DID NOT BECOME SEED BY THE REBIRTH, WE
WERE SEED AND THEREFORE WERE REBORN FOR ONLY THE ELECT CAN BE REBORN. Because
we WERE SEED is the reason we could be quickened. In NON-SEED there is nothing
to quicken.

36-1 That's the same thing He does when He gives
you the Holy Ghost baptism with Fire. He can come and dwell with you, and we
can set in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, because we are already in Him. Not
we will be, we are now setting in Christ Jesus. How do
we get into it? By one Holy Ghost baptism. By one
Spirit we're all baptized into Christ, which we are now--won't be in Christ; we
are. He is the great spiritual King over the Spirit that's in us, because we were in Him at the beginning.

8-4 Then He said when He come forth on that
morning, "Because I live, you live also." Not only was He the
beneficiary of the resurrection, but all those Seed that was resting in God's
great providence was a benefactor of that resurrection to Life, because He
said, "Because I live, ye shall live also."
That was the breaking of the Seal. Because He was brought up, so
will every one that's in Christ be brought up with Him.
At this glorious sunrise God had proven or vindicated His Word. All the glooms
and doubts that had moved in people's minds was taken away, because here was He
Who once lived, eat, drink, and fellowship with mankind that said, "I have
power to lay My life down, and I have power to raise it up again." And
now, not only had He made the statement, but He proved it to be the truth. Oh,
what a glorious thing that is. I'm sure this morning that even we, who believe
it, cannot comprehend what a great thing that was. Because He raised from the dead, we also have already raised from the
dead, for we were in Him.

28 Now, the same thing is this: If you are a
son of God, and if I am a son of God, or a daughter of God, we were in God at
the beginning. And when Jesus became the Fullness of the Word, then we were
in Him, germ form. When He was crucified, we was
crucified in His body. When He rose from the dead, we rose with Him. And now,
since we have recognized it, now we set together with Him in heavenly places in
Christ Jesus. See? For He... We, if we are sons and
daughters of God, we are God's children; then we're attributes of God. Then we
were--got Eternal Life. And God is the only Eternal Life there is. Then we were
in Him from the beginning. And when Jesus became all that Word, then we were
part of Him then. Amen. There you are. When that's in there, there's no devil,
no powers, no nothing can ever move it. That's the tie post of the soul.
You can be anointed out here in this spirit, and desire, and do
all these other things, but when it comes to this tie post to that Word, you'll
never move from there. It'll hold right steady and true to that Word as it can
be. Outside of that, regardless of what you do, you're still lost.

are a predestinated seed just like Christ was; and when the rain
falls on the seed, the life produces itself. When the Holy Spirit falls... When It fell
on those seed that Jesus said He chose them when? Before the
foundation of the world. Then they were a predestinated seed. Is that right? Then
here they haul themselves up in the upper room, these seeds, the Word, and the
Word was laying on there without Life in it. All of a sudden there came a sound
from heaven as the waters begin to gush down. And it actually filled all the house where they were setting. And the seeds begin
to grow. It begin to manifest itself, the Word of God
being manifested.

stay? With the promised one, the elected one. The Word
stayed with the elected one. And the Word of God today will stay with the
elected ones, the Royal Seed of Abraham by the promise.
What kind of a works did it do? When it was manifested about eight
hundred years later in the form of Jesus Christ, it done the same works that
that One did there, the Word did at the gate at Abraham's tent, set with His
back turned to the tent, told Abraham his name was Abraham, not Abram, what it
always had been (what his name...), but his name was Abraham, 'cause God met
him a few days before that and told him his name was Abraham. Said, "Where
is Thy wife (not S-a-r-r-a, S-a-r-a-h.)... Where is Thy wife Sarah?" like
He didn't know.
Said, "She's in the tent behind You."
He said, "I'm going to visit you ('I,' the personal
pronoun.), I'm going to visit you according to the time of life (Oh.), and
you're going to have that baby that you've waited on. The latter rain is fixing
to fall. You've hold that seed in there long enough now,
on believing, and you're looking for a coming son, and he's coming." Amen.
That's the real church today (See?), that elected Seed. "You've been
looking for him, and I'm going to send him to you." Amen. What said that? The Word.

We have the same right today in the church. Names are going to be
blotted out of the Book of Life. No names will be blotted out of the Book of
Eternal Life for that is another record though contained in the Book of Life. THIS IS THE RECORD: GOD HATH GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, AND
THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON. HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE (ETERNAL) AND HE THAT
HATH NOT THE SON HATH NOT LIFE (ETERNAL). And those who have
that life were in HIM before the foundation of the world. THEY WERE CHOSEN IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
That GREAT ROYAL SEED, Jesus Christ, was planted (He died) and
that life that was in Him came up through the wheat plant and is reproducing
itself in multitudes of wheat seeds having the same life in them, and being
like the Original because by Spirit they are original.
