<TITLE>11. Par 114-124</TITLE>L-114   And because He is here, we have the--the right to all that He purchased for us. Notice, what was the Token to do? To purchase. It's the price that's been paid. When you have the Token, you have a right then to present that Token, to anything that He purchased for you. And no one can buy it without It. It's only can be purchased by the Token.

L-115 Remember, if you went out here to the bus line, say, "Here, I tell you, I got a--I got a token that says another bus line." That won't work. "I got a token that says, come from Maine, from New Hampshire." It won't work in California. You've got to have the token of that bus line, in order to purchase. It shows that you have purchased that fare on that bus.

L-116   And when we can display the Token of the Holy Spirit, shows that we have been accepted in Christ, and that is our Token that all that we have need of is already purchased by Him. We are identified with our Token. The Token must be ready.

L-117 The Blood, Covenant Blood, is not recognized without the Token. The Word assures us of the promise. The Token is the sign the purchase has been made for us.

L-118 Full obedience to the full Word of God entitles us to the Token. No other way is there, that you could ever be entitled to the Token, until you fully obey the Word. Not what somebody has put into It, and added to It; but what God said about It!

L-119   When He said, "You must be born again." That don't mean jump up-and-down at the altar; that don't mean walk back there and shake hands with the pastor; that don't mean all this foolishness that we've seen done; it don't mean putting your name on a church book. It means death to your first being, and Life to the second being. It means that the Blood has been applied, and you're identified by the Life of Jesus Christ. And if He be the Vine, and we be the branches, the Life that's in the branch is in also from the Vine. It'll bear the fruit.

L-120 If that first branch come forth, that branch out of that Vine, that wrote a book of Acts behind it; if that branch ever puts forth, a Vine puts forth another branch, they'll write another book of Acts behind it, 'cause it's the same Life. If a one of your grapevines out here brings forth blue grapes, if it puts forth another branch, it'll bring forth blue grapes.

L-121   And I tell you, today, we got so many grafted vines into It, with denominations and creeds and things, and yet any citrus fruit grafted in can live, live in that Vine. But it's bearing the wrong fruit.

L-122 What we need, today, is another baptism of the Holy Spirit, and have the real Power of God that identifies the works that Jesus Christ promised for this day, not so much as that day. This day, the promise that He made here. That was what He promised there, He would pour out His Spirit. Now He has promised it again in the last days, and what He would do.

L-123 Strange, that we can always look back, but you never look ahead. That's the way with man. He is always saying, glorifying God for what He did do, praising Him for what He is going to do, and ignoring what He is doing. That's always the way of man. It's still the same thing.

L-124   Full obedience to the Word brings God, the Word Eternal, in you, and that is the Token. When the Word is in you, It's Christ in you.
