<TITLE>14. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 You said in that day You would reveal Yourself from Heaven. And we see You, Lord. And we know that the Father's here, and these who've raised their hand, God, if they meant that in their heart, You've put their name on the Book of Life, and there isn't nothing can rub it out. You said so. "He that heareth My words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Eternal Life." You said, "I'll raise him up at the last day."
Thank you, Lord. They're the trophies of the Message that You have given as love gifts to Your Son. No one can pluck them from the hand. Give them Eternal Life now, Father. Fill them with Thy Spirit and Thy goodness. They've accepted You, maybe strangers who have never seen Your Spirit move before. But they've did it on the basis of the Word. Grant, Lord God, that they will hold to Your unchanging hand these few days of life we have left, for truly, we're close to the end time. It's later than we think.

L-58 We could go to powder in a hour. One drink of vodka too much, and the big rockets are set. O God, be merciful. Let us abide under Your everlasting wings, until You come for us. In Christ's Name we pray, Amen. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
Let's sing it real slowly, now, and in the spirit of singing.
While life's dark maze I tread
And grief (That's right. Just pray it like as you're singing.)
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me never stray
From Thee aside.
[Brother Branham begins humming--Ed.] Bow our heads, humbly now. Oh, great Jehovah, send Jesus to this audience just now, Lord. Let Him manifest Himself as the risen Lord, as we submit our hearts and souls to Thee. We have preached Thy Word. Come, make It manifested, Lord.
Be wholly Thine.

L-59 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Fire that once was, a nice warm fire. You can't get warm by a painted fire. The world don't need a historical God. It needs a God of present day. The Bible says that Jesus Christ, Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right?
We know that He said in His Scriptures, "I can do nothing in Myself, but what I see the Father doing." St. John 5:19. Did you ever read that? Raise your hands if you have. Then Jesus never did nothing till the Father showed Him. That's what He said.
And we find out that He knew the people's hearts and thought. Now, if He is the same yesterday, today and forever, He has got to be the same in principle, the same in power, the same in emotion, He's got to be the same.

L-60 Only one way, He said, "I am the Vine. A little while..." I'll quote this verse, "A little while and the world won't see Me no more. (Now, the Greek work there is 'kosmos,' which means 'the world order.') They will see Me no more, yet ye shall see Me, (the Church), for I ('I' is a personal pronoun.), I will be with you, even in you, to the end of the world." Is that what He said, "And the works that I do, shall you do also. He that believeth on Me (not imagine he believes, but he that believeth), the works that I do, shall he also," St. John 14:8.
"The works that I do." What did He do? He said, "I am the Vine. You are the branches." Now, the vine doesn't bear fruit. The branch bears fruit of the vine. Is that true? If you went to a watermelon vine, it has watermelons, if it's a fertile vine. If you went to a grapevine, you'd find grapes. Pumpkin vine, you'd find pumpkins. What about when you come to church? What do you find? A bunch of people saying, "Oh, that was in day gone by."
The vine still lives. If we're in Christ, the works that He does, we'll do the same thing. He said so. If that isn't true, then I--I couldn't believe Him.
Now, I--I can make you a promise and have to take it back. I'm mortal. But Him infinite, He can't make a promise without keeping it.
