<TITLE>12. Par 39-41</TITLE>L-39 She looked at Him. She begin to talk to Him about the place to worship. And He said to her, "Go get your husband. ("I'll let her know that God still lives. I'm the Vine.") Go get your husband."
Why, she said, "I don't have any husband."
He said, "That's right. You've got five, and the one you're now living with is not your husband."
She turned. What was it? Her--her grafting... The life of her life, where she'd been plucked off of this old creed tree, had took hold, when the first pulsation of God came into her branches. "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. And I know the Scripture says that the Messiah will come, and He will do these things."
He said, "I'm He. I'm He."
She left that old creed lay there. Just as hard as she could go, she begin to scatter the news, "Come, see a Man Who's told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" Messiah is the anointed God. She recognized Him as being God, Emmanuel, the prophet God.
"I am the Vine, you're the branches."
She said, "Well, you people, you Jews worship up at Jerusalem. You have a big church up there and creeds."
"Yeah, I know it." He said.
"We worship in this mountain here," she said.
"I know that. But the time is coming, and now is, when those Jerusalem creeds or this Samaritan creed won't work. For God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship Him in Spirit and in the Truth."

L-40 That's the branch that came: truth. "Repent every one of you; be baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins," and you shall be connected with the Branch. You shall have these same things, for the Spirit of God will pulsate through you bringing to you rivers of joy, peace, long-suffering, faith, goodness, meekness, gentleness. It'll give you... make from a--from a wolf, It'll make a lamb out of you. From a buzzard, It'll make a dove.
See, It is the Spirit of the living God that changes your nature. Now, come into Him, and be grafted in, and become one of His branches. For one day, that lifeline that's laid down like this is the Life of Christ, the Holy Spirit, hooked with the Kingdom of God... God will come down that eternal branch someday. And all those that are dead in Christ will He bring with Him as He lifts up the tree again, that's planted by the rivers of Life, where the evergreen tree never fades or looses its leaves...

L-41 As He reaches out a branch to you this morning, my dear friend, receive it, and be plucked up out of your sin, be plucked up out of your doubt, out of your creed. I'm not telling you to leave your church; you stay with your church. But come to Christ. That's it. I don't care what church you go to, as long as you come to that Fountain that's filled with Blood. Receive His Life, and let it raise you, raise you from the admiration of the world, till all the things of the world are dead. He that loves the world or the things of the world, the love of God's not even in him. You can't put pumpkin life in a grape vine and bring grapes. See? If you are Christ's, you love the things of Christ. You're filled with the Spirit. You are... He is the Vine, ye are the branches. Let Him receive you this morning as He did the woman of Samaria, and place your life into His life and make you a new creature, while we bow our heads just a moment.
