<TITLE>24. Par 246-252</TITLE>L-246 Now as I pray and ask this great God Who was manifested in flesh, and now re-given to us, in the form of the Holy Spirit, may He come to your heart and settle the question forever, and write "forgiven" across your life's book, and put your name on the Book of Life, and give you Eternal Life and the assurance of the resurrection, because Christ will be resurrected in you. The One you've been seeing moving through the meetings this week, bringing forth and proving, raise the dead, heal the sick, knows the secrets of the heart, foretells everything perfectly, that comes to pass, year after year, and never one failure, It's the Word. And the... Jesus said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word can never fail." That's the reason It don't fail, it's the promised Word for this age.

L-247   Heavenly Father, the evening time is on. We know, in the Bible, that You were the Tree of Life that come from the Garden of Eden. And we know the Seraphims took a sword of Fire, a Flame, and guarded that Tree. Cause, if a man ever touched that Tree and ate from It, he would live forever. You guarded the Tree then. But the same Fire, from the sword, the Word of God, is herding people back to that Tree, that Tree of Life that come on earth so beautifully, born in a manger, over a--a stable where the--the cattle and the sheep had--had bedded and had laid, and little Jehovah crying, in the form of a Baby. Oh, it ought to be the thing that would thrill the heart of every man and woman.

L-248 And, then, Jehovah dying on the cross, suffering the sins of the world. He didn't have to do it, but He did do it. His grace constrained Him. His love, "God so loved," and His love constrained Him, because this had... this human race had to display His attributes of being a--a Saviour. They had to be lost. There was nothing lost; He made things perfect. But Satan was brought in and perverted what He had made perfect, on the basis of free-moral agency they was put. And then He had to redeem it, and He did.

L-249   O Eternal God, come in mercy and speak to every heart here. And may, today, as these hands went up, and maybe some who at that time when I asked, didn't have the--the real feeling, but now has. May they sign with the blood of their own life, God, to from this day henceforth, that they are making their investment of their entire life, to Jesus Christ and to His Word.

L-250 And that great Tree, that great Tree of Life, when He come on earth, they chopped it down by a Roman spear, and hung it on a Roman tree, a cruel, cursed tree, but in there He redeemed a Bride Tree, the Bride Tree, one just like Him. That Eve tree from the Garden of Eden, the tree that had fallen, Eve, in the beginning, and Adam walked out with her; now Adam comes with, the Second Adam, knowing that He had His eyes open, to come to receive His Eve.

L-251   And now as the prophet said, the prophet David, said he'll "be like a tree that's planted by the rivers of water." Grant, Lord, that the waters of Life will water this Bride Tree in the last days, where all the denominational branches have been pruned by the husbandman. And now the Spirit of God is living anew in the top of the tree, which come from the heart of the tree, the Word. Grant it, Lord, and may they bring forth much fruit. And may their state be, if it be like Lazarus, if they have to take it that way on earth, knowing that our treasures are in Heaven, not of the earth.

L-252 Bless these businessmen, Lord, these businesswomen, and all that's concerned. And we commit them to You now, for the furthering of this Message. And You've promised, Lord, that You--that You would grant it. And I, as Your servant, commit them to You. And You said, "No man can come except My Father draws them." And they raised their hands, Lord. Now I give them to You, as love gifts from the Message this morning, of Thy Word. Keep them, Lord, until that day. You said, "No man can pluck them from My hand. And I'll raise him up at the last day."
