<TITLE>08. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Now, this that I have just read is a portion of God's eternal Word. And heavens and earth shall pass away, but God's Word shall never pass away. It's as eternal as God is eternal. And when His church gets to a place that they can accept His Word upon those principles and those things, that God's Word is a part of God, and then His Word...
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So therefore we have read words that have never a end. As long as there is an eternity, these words shall remain the same.
And these hungry Greeks come up with enthusiasm, with this remark, "Sirs, we would see Jesus." And as your brother, I don't believe that there is a man that's in his right mind, or a woman, that ever heard that precious Name, and knowed what it meant, or any mental conception of what it meant, but what has desired to see Jesus. If I would ask this audience of people tonight, "Would you love to see Jesus," every person here would say, "Yes."
Well then, the Scripture says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Then why can't we see Jesus? If the Scripture says He is the same, then He's got to remain the same, or the Scriptures is not infallible.

L-28 "They just meant it for a certain time." But it isn't so. The Bible said that He's the same yesterday, today, and will be forever. So then, this must be right. And if that's not right, then there's none of the rest of it right. It's all either right, or it is wrong. And you never see anybody that ever believed it and was saved, but what did believe that it was right.
Every Divine promise is yes. And I take record of this: I believe that the right mental attitude towards any Divine promise of God will bring it to pass, if you could just look at it in the way that it was written.
I might not have faith enough to do that, but I certainly wouldn't stand here in somebody else's way who does have faith to do it. See? If I can't do it and the promise is made, I'll say, "God bless you, my brother." I might not be able to walk where Joshua walked. I might not be able to walk where Enoch walked, and just took a little afternoon stroll and went home with God, but I won't stand in somebody else's way who can do that.

L-29 I believe the Word is infallible. And it says He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, how can He be the same? Now, He's the same in principle, same in power, same in attitude. The only thing different in Jesus being from yesterday, if this is His promise. Then He had a corporal body here on earth like we have. But that body was given for a Sacrifice, raised up from the dead, sets at the right hand of the Father to make intercessions upon our confession.
And then He said, "A little while, and the world sees Me no more; yet ye shall see Me." And that word "world" means the world order, the unbeliever. "They will see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me (That's the church, the believer.), for I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world," Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-30 Saint John 15, He said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." He said that about His Church. He'd go away and be the Vine and we'd be the branch. Now, the vine does not bear fruit. The vine always energize the branch, and the branch bears fruit. That's right.
Notice, if the vine cannot bear fruit, it's depending on its branches. And the branch cannot bear fruit until it's energized by the vine. Then if you people out here seen a pumpkin vine, that pumpkin vine would bear pumpkins, if the life of pumpkins is in the vine. If it's a watermelon vine, it'll bear watermelons, if it's got watermelon life in it. If it's a grape vine, it'll bear grapes, because the life of grapes is in the vine, and it'll energize the branches and they'll bear grapes.
