1 THE SEED OF THE FATHER IS CHRIST. All life on earth starts with seed. Seed contains the mystery and fullness of life. All natural life come from seed. According to 1 Pet.1:23 there are two kinds of seed, the natural and the spiritual. 1 Pet.1:23: Being born again, not of corruptible seed (Greek:Spora - for seed ), but of incorruptible (Greek: Aftharthos- which also means immortal), by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. God uses the natural to explain the supernatural, so that we may understand that as natural life begins with seed, so does the spiritual life of the believer also start with a seed planted in purity. There are two kinds of seed: The corruptible seed which is of the earth; it is biological and brings forth earthly life. The second kind of seed is the incorruptible Seed. It is not of this earth. It is spiritual and brings forth spiritual life. It cannot be seen, although the effects of it can be visible to the natural eye. Now we understand that a spiritual rebirth is needed for us to receive Christ, who is eternal life in Himself. John 3:3: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again (Greek: anothen- which means, from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God. Man can be born again and this is a birth that happens from above through the immortal Seed of God. 1 John 3:9- Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed (Greek: Sperma for sperm) remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born (Greek:Gennau - to being brought forth) of (Greek: eks - out of) God.

2 Fathers are sperm donors. Now we understand that by the immortal sperma of God our Father, we are being brought forth from out of God, from above. Seeing that this comes from above, we can assume that nothing from here below can touch it or add to it or take away from it. Eternal Life cannot be influenced by this earth because it is hidden in God. Our Life is hidden in God. It is a Holy and perfect Life that we receive. Gal.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,(greek is sperma for sperm) which is Christ. The risen Christ is the sperm of God the Father. He IS the all of God in us. The word seed used here in the Greek is sperma from where we get our word sperm. God uses the natural to explain the spiritual. Fathers have sperm and through an act of love, when the father places his sperm in his wife, a new life begins in the mother s womb. Sperm tells you something about the father. From this sperm a child is born. Only one seed is needed to form a complete new human life. Jesus said that we must be born again if we want to see His reign; His Kingdom. When we turn to the Father and give ourselves to Him, the Holy Spirit, through an act of love, comes and places the sperma of the Father, the incorruptible seed, Christ, in our spiritual womb. The moment that this Seed is placed in our spirit, a new life starts. Paul calls it a new creation. Jesus calls it being born again. This new life in a reborn man is not his life that changes, it is an exchange of life, where Christ becomes the life of the believer.

3 If we understand the natural process of birthing and its consequences, we will also understand the spiritual process, because the Holy Spirit uses the natural by which He explains the spiritual. I wonder if one percent of the people in the church understand this? This sperm of the Father is called Christ. When the Holy Spirit took the Christ Seed and placed it (Him) in my spirit, I became born again. I have a new life. My new life is not me changing; it is not a changed life; it is an exchange of life. My new life is Christ in me. There is only one Seed and that one seed contains the fullness of life. Only one seed is necessary for one complete human being to be born. So also is only one Christseed necessary to bring forth in me the complete Christlife. A husband does not impregnate his wife on the first night with the arms of the baby, the next night with the legs of the baby. One seed contains the whole child. Only one seed is necessary because it contains fullness. Likewise, when the Holy Spirit put the Christseed in my spirit, I became filled with the complete Christ. Gal.3:16 states clearly, one Seed. He who has the Son, has Life. I do not get parts of Jesus in me as I grow spiritually. I have the complete Christ in me and can only grow in the knowledge of what the fullness of Christ in me means. Only one Seed. 99 precent of Christians do not know what it means to be born again. They do not know what happened to them, because the New Life can only be understood if it is revealed by the Holy Spirit, otherwise we are going to think that new life is us doing something and striving to become something that we already are. Let us therefore compare the natural and spiritual to come to an understanding of this new Christlife.

4 When a man impregnates his wife, she does not know that immediately. Only after a few weeks do some signs occur. Normally Christians feel nothing when they got born again, except emotional. We do not feel the seed flowing into our spirit, so we get religious and try to prove that we became Christians. The moment we fail in proving our spiritual pregnancy,we do not feel like Christians. So we need something to make us feel righteous and holy and acceptable before God and so fall into religious laws. Christian identity lies in being and not in doing. We do not always manifest our new identity, but that does not change the fact of who we are in Christ. It is in Paul s gospel (Rom.16:25) that we come to understand what this New Life really is. It is the ChristLife. The Life of the Son, a Person living in us. We have two grown children, my eldest was 15 years of age and the youngest was 13. My wife and I were 38 years old at the time when one fine day my wife told me that she is planning to go on a strict diet. She was gaining weight and she could not get it off again. She was also feeling sick nearly every day. So she decided to go the doctor who examined her and after a pregnancy test, we were shocked to find that she was pregnant. At her age it was totally unexpected. She had wanted to try to solve her problems by some good works like going on a diet, but after the doctor told her the news, she knew what was happening to her and she rested from all her efforts to loose weight. It is the same in the spiritual life. We will try by all means to change ourselves, not knowing about the new life in us, but when the Holy Spirit comes and reveals to us what is in us, we will rest from our efforts to become what we already are through spiritual birth. We cannot receive by our works what we already have by being born again.

5 All spiritual Life lies in die sperma of the Father. Everything God wants for us is locked up in the sperma. We cannot earn Life we can only receive it by faith. We then went to a specialist who put my wife on a sonar so that we could see if the new life in her would be about pink or blue little shoes and if all was well with this new life. We were told we could expect a healthy baby daughter and pink was the colour for this new life. Without the Holy Spirit, the Specialist of God, who puts us on His Sonar and reveals to us what the new life in us really is, we will never know what He looks like and we will ignore the new Life in us by trying to become like Him. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit, He will glorify Me and remind you of all things I have said. There is only one way to understand this mystery of the inner life and that is by the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Where there is no revelation religion reigns. Galatians 1:16: To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: i. The essence of this Seed is Life. New life has nothing to do with my own efforts; it is His Life. It is a Person living His Life in me. It is Christ himself living His Life in me. Paul called it a mystery. He never uses the words born again, because he calls it, new life/creation or in Christ. His gospel is based upon the mystery of us being in Christ. (Col.1:26-27) New life lies with Christ being Himself in us. It is not us changing, it is Him living in us. Norman Grubb states: self-improvement is both a sin and an impossibility. The moment I am born again I am a complete Christperson because I contain the complete Christ in my spirit.

6 Jeanne Guyon writes: I have stated that perfection can easily be attained and this is true. Jesus Christ is perfection, and when we seek Him within ourselves, perfection is easily found. 1 From the first moment we get born again we lack nothing that is needed to be what God intends for us to be. The problem is that we will not know it, because religion does not acknowledge the Christlife in us. Religion is not based upon revelation and Paul clearly states that Christ in us is a mystery that must be revealed, that is why we try to change our life, instead of Christ becoming our new life. Christ in us gives us our identity as a son of God. It is like a coffee mug. We are containers, temples of His life. We were created to be filled, to contain. We do not become Christ, but we contain Him in us. We contain New Life; we do not become it. We cannot produce this New life, we can only carry it. New Life is all His being in us, not His doing. We cannot generate this Life, we cannot bring it forth or manifest it. It is the work of the Holy Spirit to generate the New Life in our Spirit and to bring it to a place in us where it becomes visible. According to Rom.12:2, I must let God renew my mind so that I can see Christ in me as my only Life. I can only live what I know. Paul s gospel is about knowing. Knowing who I am through Christ in me and this by revelation. 1 Corinthians 2:6-13: Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes 1.Guyon,Jeanne. Experiencing the depths of Jesus Christ. Vol.2. Seedsowers.

7 of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Christ in me has no mind, he needs mine. As long as I try to live His life, He will be dormant in me, but the moment I see Him in me and start to give Him my mind, He will start to live His Life through me. Rom.12:2 calls it the renewing of the mind. By renewing my mind and letting the Holy Spirit reveal to my mind the risen Christ that is in me, I change. Change comes by beholding and not by trying. 2 Corinthians 3:18: But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. We ask the Holy Spirit to make us like Christ, but the Holy Spirit does not want to make us to be like Christ. We use the Holy Spirit to give us power so that we can become like the Son, but the Holy Spirit does not want to give us power, he wants to take us to the cross so that we can die with Jesus on the cross. The power lies in letting the Holy Spirit reveal to us the Life of the Son in us. The power lies in the new creation in us. Gal.6:15: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

8 The old man, our sin nature was crucified. An exegesis of Rom 6 shows this clearly. When Christ died, our old man, the sin nature, died in Him. By rebirth this truth becomes a reality in my life. We must distinguish between nature and flesh, it is not the same. This dying of self (the fleshly mind) comes by circumstances and situations that work in us. Everything works together for the good of Him and He uses everything around us to crucify our satan-self, the sin nature. The whole Universe is programmed to bring us to the cross where we must give our lives for His. There is only one Life that can please God and that is the Life of the Son. Let us look at some scriptures to confirm this: Ephesians 1:4-5: 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: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, As seen in these verses, people were created to be the offspring of God. God will do this by placing us in Christ and Christ in us. Creation exist because God wanted children. Chosen in Him, means that God never looked outside His Son to choose anyone to whom He would become Father. He was Son before he was Creator. Isaiah 45:5-7: I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside Me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

9 In these verses we can see that everything God created was so that we can come to see Him as the One and only. God is behind everything in creation. So the purpose of Creation is to bring people to God. Colossians 1:15-17: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: In these verses we learn that all creation is about Christ. All creation is for Him. Now we can go back to Eph1:4-5 as discussed. The question is how God is going to get people in Christ. Creation is there for Christ. Creation is thus program-med to work through situations, circumstances, darkness and evil to bring all people to Christ. Life makes sense, even our crises, when we look at the purpose of creation. Everything works towards being In Christ. Romans 1:20: For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. So we do not look at our crises, the visible things, we look through and see Christ, the purpose of all things and for which all things were created. Rom.1:20 states that no one has an excuse, because the invisible things are clearly seen in the way creation pushes us to Christ all the time. As situations of nature work on the seed lying in the ground, to soften the hard shell around that seed so that the germ inside can start to grow, so the Holy

10 Spirit uses circumstances and situations to break open the hard shell of Self. As Self hangs on the cross and breaks open, the New Life inside becomes visible and it looks exactly like His. 1 John 4:17:... as He is, so are we in this world. Therefore we do not try to prove ourselves because Jesus said that there is not one that is good. Yet we are still trying to be good by doing. There is only One that is good and there is only one Life that can please the Father, the Life of Christ in us. The Father does not put His trust in flesh, but as He trusts His Seed in the womb of Mary until that resurrection morning, He still only trusts His seed in us. The work He has started in us, only He can finish. The best of us cannot become Christlike by trying. We can really stop trying to be like Him. No-one can. There is only one Jesus Christ and one Holy Life and that is the Life of the Son. We must therefore transform our minds from Christ in His earthly body to Christ in our body. We must transform from John3:16 to Gal.3:16. God gave His Son to the world in the form of His fleshly body, but the Father give His Son to His Bride in the form of the incorruptible Seed. If we do not see this, we will ignore Him in us and try to imitate Him as He was in His earthly body. This is why Paul wrote in 2 Cor.5:16:... yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Paul shows us here that we must know Christ in a new way. Not according to His flesh, but Christ as my Life. Gal.2:20.

11 Since the mystery of Christ in us (Col.1:26-27) has not been revealed to many, they search for Life outside of Christ in us. Believers look for Life in religious things, in buildings and programmes and even in the Bible. John.5:39-40: Ye Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life. Eternal Life is not something we receive when we go to heaven, it is a Person living His Life in us. In John 11 Jesus says He is Life. It is not something that He gives to us in order for us to live forever, it is who He is in us. We shall live because He is that Life in us. Life is a Person. Salvation is a Person. (1Cor.1:30) We do not always give expression to who we are but it does not change who we are. John5:26 states that the Son has Life in Himself. Nothing that I do can add to that Life. Nothing that I do can give me Life. The Son in me needs nothing from me to be who He is in me. His life in me does not depend on my input, on my works or performance. I am depending on Him in me. Warren Litzmann 2 postulates: The mystery begins by a seed planted in purity. Something in you has been birthed that cannot be explained. Like Mary, you are carrying a Holy Seed in your womb. It was planted there without the help of man. Our future is locked up inside that divine germ. God is able to place Another in us and depend on that One in us to be our Salvation. A Seed growing all by itself. It does not need the intervention of man. Christ needs nothing to sustain His limitless life in you because the Son has Life in Himself. He does not need the help of man. ii. The nature of the Christseed 2 Warren Litzmann. Tape serious on the Christseed.

12 God the Father will not put something in me that will not work. His plan before creation was to have children, and real children come through seed. Real children cannot be created, they must be born. The whole of this Universe was created to bring us to the place where we can know who we are through Christ in us. I am not my father s son because I pass an exam on how to be a good Kühn. I am a Kühn through birth. Even if I do not act like one, I am still a Kühn, because who I am comes through the seed. There is nothing I can do to change that. I can even change my surname to something else, I will always be a Kühn. The secret lies in the Seed. Let us look more closely at this sperma of the Father. We have seen that this sperma contains life. There is also something else that you must see. Seed contains Nature. I want to define Nature as the Life and being and character of a god. It can be satan or the Creator of the Universe. When God created man He did not create him with a nature. He created him neither good nor bad. Adam had a personality and certain characteristics that distinguished him from the animals. He had a spirit. But he did not have a Nature. He lived by his intellect and by making choices without knowing in himself what was right or wrong. Adam was not spiritual, neither was he holy. He was created for God. He was crea-ted as a container, to be a temple, but the temple was still empty. Let us say he was created to be neutral. He was not complete either. He was created to contain. He was like the coffee mug, created as an empty vessel to contain the life of a god. He would draw his identity from the being he allows into his temple by a choice of his mind.

13 Identity comes by the contents in his spirit. The life of this God in his spirit would become his being, thus giving him his identity. Adam took satan at his word and got born again. The sin nature of satan entered his spirit and Adam became one with the sin nature in such a way that he thought that he was the sinner in himself, but man will always be only the container, drawing his life from the life of the god in him. We was still and will always be only the container, but he became so one with the sin nature in him that he thought he was the sinner, so he tried to change himself. It was no longer Adam that was living but Satan in him as Adam. Satan in Adam s form. It was no longer Adam living, Adam died. It was his Satan self. Man today still feels the same way. They think that there is something wrong with them so they try to improve themselves. They do not understand that they are only created to be containers and that they get their identity by the entity in their spirit. Jesus confirms this when He says in John.8:44: Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. Here Jesus makes it clear that we as human beings have the sin nature of our father the devil and that we are living his life, thinking it to be ours. Watchman Nee says that we are sinners, not because we have sinned, but because we have the sinner in us. Even if we can get it right to stop sinning, we will still be sinners because we have a sin nature. We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners. Our nature is wrong. We need a new nature, a new father with a new seed. Nature is that power in us that makes us who we are.

14 Then one fine day, pushed by situations and circumstances, we hear the gospel of our salvation and we take God at His Word. In that moment the Holy Spirit takes our old man, the sin nature, the sinner, and puts him on the cross to die. He fills us with the Christseed and we become a new creation. We are still only the containers. Sin nature is out and Christnature is in. We are still not good or evil, we are only temples, but the nature in our spirit changes who we are. Now we are Christ persons. We do not have the sin nature, we have the Christnature in us. Our identity comes through a birthing and not through working, as religion so often likes to claim. 2 Peter 1:4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,(greek is foosis and also implies genes) having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. In the Sperma of the Father lies His nature and His genes. Because we did not know that we were only the containers, we think we are bad so we try to improve ourselves, not trusting in the new nature in us. Christ becomes so one with us, in us, that we do not understand that it is no more us but He in our form. We are still trying to live the Holy life. There is a Godnature in us that will do what He is. We must trust the new nature in us. It will not contradict Christ. Learning to trust Him to live Himself out in us. We remain the container. The incorruptible Seed contains nature. This nature is the power of His character. He does not override my character, He lives Himself by and through my character becoming so one with Him, taking me over, that I start to think that I am becoming a better person. But it is He in me becoming more like me by His life. When the farmer takes wheat to plant it, he does not teach the grain how to behave and what wheat looks like. He knows that every grain contains the germ

15 of the mother plant. It is in the nature of every grain of wheat to look and act exactly like the mother plant because every grain of wheat contains the same life of the mother plant. The secret of life lies in its centre. When that grain grows up, it looks exactly like the mother plant. Nothing from the outside can change what the grain of wheat will be. So it is with the Christian Life also. Christianity is Christ. He is the Life in our centre and it depends solely on the Life in our centre who we are. Nothing from the outside can change who we are. We will be changed from inside. Religion ignores the Life in your centre and wants to ignite life by ritual and external action. It looks right and even feels right, but it leads to frustration and death. Galatians 2:21: do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Religion has no Life and cannot produce Life. The secret lies in our spirit man where the Life of Christ is the reality of who we are. Christ in us is the only Life pleasing to the Father. So we loose our life to live by His. As I renew my mind, the life in my centre starts to manifest 1 Corinthians 1:29-31: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glory, let him glory in the Lord.

16 There is no hope for me in my flesh. Christ in me is my hope of glory. Christ in me is my salvation, my righteousness and my sanctification. It is not me becoming these qualities in my flesh, it is Christ in me as me. Christ cannot give Life, because there is no Life apart from Him. He IS life. His Being is Life. The only way that I can have this life is by having Him. My full potential is locked up in that Divine Sperm in my spirit. When Christ is in me, my spirit becomes the holy of holies, the most holy place on earth. Instead of looking for Life in a religious institute, a church building or in the laws of man, I must make a journey to my inner man where Christ and I are one. He is not part of my life any more, He IS my Life. So, before Christ will come down, He must first come out, expressing Himself through me. The only hope of this world lies in us, that He will manifest Himself by us. The nature of this Seed is Eternal Life. Most people s understanding of Christianity is comprised of trusting Christ as their Saviour, having their sins forgiven and going to Heaven. They have lots of questions that boil down to one: Where is the abundant life that Jesus promises? A rich young ruler came to Jesus and asked, Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal Life? Jesus told him, don t murder, don t steal, keep the commandments. The young man then replied, I have kept them. What he really was saying is: I have kept all the commandments, but where is the Life.

17 Believers today ask the same question. We do good works and try hard to live by obedience, but where is the life? The answer to this lies in something that a man named Norman Grubb once mentioned: You cannot live the Christian Life. Christ is the Life and he alone can Live it. He will live His Life in and through me if I let Him. Many Christians know Christ as their Saviour, but to know Christ as your Saviour will not help you live the Christian Life. To have the knowledge that you are saved by what Christ did on the cross, is not enough to live the Christian Life. Watchmann Nee writes: Christianity is not a struggle to become, it is a choice to let Jesus be. Believers do not understand this. We need more than the knowledge of Christ as our Saviour, we must also come to the knowledge that Christ is our Life. Let me explain this by referring to Exodus 12. God told the Hebrews to set apart a Lamb from the flock, kill it and smear the blood on the doorposts of their dwellings. This blood of the Lamb, which is a shadow of the real Blood of the Lamb of God, will bring their redemption from death. But it was not only the Blood of the Lamb that was needed. God instructed the Hebrews to roast the Lamb and eat the whole Lamb. It is not that the Lamb dies for you and then you are sent to do the rest on your own. The Lamb is the total answer. The lamb gave its blood to them and also gave its life to them. They ate its flesh and that flesh became their nourishment, their strength to walk out of Egypt. Otherwise they would have left Egypt in their own strength. They have strength to walk by the lamb in them.

18 The Lamb in them was their strength and life. One Lamb, the same Lamb in all of them, because these lambs all look alike. Our Christian life is also a walk. Christ is the Lamb that became one with our spirit. We ate Him. His Blood redeemed us and His Life became part of us. He became our life. Now we walk because of the Lamb in us. We live from the Lamb in us. The complete Lamb is the answer. Not only for me, but as me. (Gal.2:20) We need the complete Lamb, not just His Blood. The same Lamb is in every believer. In conclusion we must say that the Sperma of the Father contains the mystery of Life and this we find in the theology of Paul who speaks of his gospel (Rom.16:25). Paul comes with a revelation of Life. He calls it the mystery of Christ in us.
