<TITLE>10. Par 89-97</TITLE>L-89 Luther's message was the light of the hour, like John's was, but there rose a greater light. So was Luther a great light, and we enjoyed him for a season, but there come another light that shut his off. What it ought to a-done was blend with It; and It went on to the perfect loaf of Bread, went on to the perfect Manna of God. But what did they do? They organized. Man has got into it. Instead of God leading it, man and his systems got into it, blinded it off.

L-90   Oh, this Bride Tree today, it's been pruned. Any branch that doesn't bring forth fruit is pruned. Jesus said so, Saint John 15. What's happened now, we see that they been cut off, pruned off.

L-91 Remember, the very heart of the tree is right in the center of the tree. The fruit will always ripen, the last place a tree will ever bear fruit, is right in the top of it, because it's the freshness that comes from the center of the life that's in the seed.

L-92   It's a Bride Tree. Jesus was the Bride, He was a Tree. They cut Him down. He was the Tree of Life that was in the garden of Eden. They cut Him down and hung Him on a Roman tree, to make fun of Him. What did He do? God raised Him up the third day, from the dead. And today there is a Bride Tree; It started back there at the beginning, way back at the Day of Pentecost.

L-93 Listen, you people who belong to church! The Church never started at Nicaea, Rome. It started in Jerusalem, on the Day of Pentecost, started the Church. Then what did they do? Just kept organizing; and God keeps cutting off the branches. Then they organized the Lutheran; cut off the branches. Wesley; cut off the branches. Pentecost; cut off the branches. Until it's come...

L-94 But God is going to have a Bride Tree! "All that the cankerworm eat and the caterpillar eat, I will restore," saith the Lord. Malachi 4 tells us we'll be brought back to the original Faith like it was on the Day of Pentecost, "the Faith of the fathers." We believe that it will come. I believe it's time for it now. The limbs are withered and dried up, and they'll be taking them from the Tree, so that the fruit can bear itself right in the top of the Tree. Oh, my!

L-95   All these lights are alright. The Church today is that light plus what it has received today. It's to finish the harvest. As we find out, that the Tree itself, or... The wheat must mature with the Light, raising itself up from a blade to a grain, and from a grain on. It matures with the Light. Light of other ages only bear record of this age. The light of Luther bore a record of--of the light of Wesley. Wesley bore light of Pentecost. It's the same light, only matured on by the Light. If the people could only see it!

L-96   Sometime ago, I was reading a little article, where the queen of England, (not this queen) the other queen, she went to see a paper company that had been making such fine paper. And when she was interviewed by the president of the company, he taken her through. She wanted to see how that fine paper was made. He taken her and showed her all the great presses and things. And in those days, they made paper out of rags. We well remember that. So he went into a room and opened the door, and there was nothing but a bunch of rags. The queen, in astonishment, said, "What's these dirty things?"

L-97 The man, that the president of the company, said, "That was clothing, yesterday. See, it has become dirty. We do not throw it away, but it's the paper of tomorrow."
She said, "I don't understand this."
He said, "You'll understand it tomorrow."
