<TITLE>30. Par 110-113</TITLE>L-110 Now, watch the nature of It. If a vine... If it... If the first branch... Jesus said, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." Saint John 15, I believe. Is that right? "I am the Vine."
Now, what did the Vine put forth a branch? The first branch was the Pentecostal church. Is that right? Then the second branch comes forth will be another Pentecostal church. Now, we don't see Pentecostal in all the churches, do we? No. Well, what is it? It's a grafted vine.
You can take a peach tree or you can take a... I'd say a--a orange tree, and graft almost any kind of citrus fruit. You can graft on a... 'most anything, grapefruit or whatmore, but it's the grafted. But if the original Vine itself puts out a branch, it'll bring the same kind of fruit that the first one brought.

L-111 Now, if Jesus Christ is the Vine, and His life... Now remember, His... The vine does not bear fruit; the branch bears fruit, but it's energized by the vine. Is that right? Well, then if the Life of Christ be in us, it'll bring His Spirit and His works. Is that right? It's got to, because it's the Vine of God. Now...
Now, watch this Angel of the Lord. We know that that's true. Now, watch what kind of a nature It has. It bears the same fruit that It did when It was here on earth. Now, It's back in the church, bearing forth the same fruit, making another Pentecostal church, just exactly the way It did the first time. Now, that church sealed their testimony with their blood. They were godly people; they loved God; they stayed with it.

L-112 And whatever you do, whatever you do, friends... Let me ask you. If you believe me to be a servant of God, let me tell you something: Don't you miss that wonderful place. Don't miss it. Let us bow our heads just a moment.
I wonder just now, before we go farther in the service: Is there one here, two, dozen, how many is here that would like to say, "Brother Branham, remember me in prayer right now. Since you've told this, I've had a little fear of death. I--I--I want to have that assurance. I want to raise up my hand to God and say, 'Pray for me.'"
God bless you here, son. God bless you; God bless you, you, you. Yes, all back there, God bless you. God bless you, all over the building, balconies; we see your hands up there. "I want to have that peace that passes all understanding."

L-113 I'm watching, praying. Raise up your hands. Let the Holy Spirit speak. If you die tonight, are you going to go where there's wheeling and wai--wailing and gnashing of teeth? Or you want to enter into that blessed, sweet rest in Him? I say it in the Name of the Lord, with the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
God bless you, honey. God bless you back there; God bless you, sister. Someone else? Raise up your hand. God bless you. God bless you. That's right, God bless you.
I'm watching, just waiting a moment. Everybody with your heads bowed, praying. All right, just keep on. God bless you; I see you. I'm watching something... God bless you; that's fine. All right. Someone else? Just keep waiting.
