person? Is it the environment, where you live? Or is it heredity;
genetics.” In all of life the image of the plant is stamped by the seed.
In other words, all life will move to be like the parent.

My mom and dad were divorced when I was three years old. I didn’t
see my father until I was seventeen years old. When I saw him, he
looked just like me because his seed is in me. So, we walk like our
father and we talk like our father. You look like your parents. When
life begins, it begins with a seed.

I tried to study this with secular books. I’m not a scientist but I read,
and I think this is true, that in the beginning when it is just a blob of
protoplasm and semi liquid white substance, there is no way that the

produce after its kind. That’s why I want to start there. That’s the
guarantee that someday you will be like Jesus. That should take the
burden off your shoulders. That should take away the
discouragement that says, “I don’t think I’ll ever arrive.” You are
going to arrive. His seed is in you. His life is in you. He has
stamped His image in you and there will be a day when you will be
