<TITLE>15. Par 173-187</TITLE>L-173 And let's see if He will come, if He will come and identify Himself, tonight. "Sirs, we would see Jesus." And you can see His Life living, right, doing exactly what He did then, for He'd have to do the same. See?

L-174 He said, "I am the..." What? Vine. "Ye are the..." What? Branches. Well, now, how does the... What kind of a Life is in the Vine will have to be in the branch. Now look, say, in here today...

L-175 You people, don't you all raise fruit down here, citrus fruit and things? [Someone says, "Plums."--Ed.] What? ["Plums."] Plums. All right. You raise...

L-176 Look here. If your vine puts forth and brings a branch off of that vine, and whatever fruit that's on that vine, if that vine puts forth another branch, it'll be the same thing.

L-177   I was standing with my friend, couple years ago, out in Arizona, Mr. Sharrit. And he had a citrus tree there, I think it had nine different fruits on it. And it had lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, tangelo, orange. I said, "What kind of a tree is that?"
Said, "It's orange tree."
"Well," I said, "well, how did them get in there?"
He said, "I grafted them."

L-178 "Oh," I said, "I see, Brother Sharrit." I said... I think Brother Sharrit was with me the last time I was here. And so I said, "Well, Brother Sharrit, now, next year, they'll all be oranges, and won't be..."

L-179 "Oh, no. No, no. Huh-uh." He said, "The grapefruit will put forth a grapefruit. The lemon will put forth a lemon."
"Well," I said, "how is that?"
He said, "It's all citrus."

L-180 "Oh!" I got it then. I said, "That's it." I said, "Thank You, Lord."

L-181 See, we graft our organizations into this Vine, it'll live by the Vine, but it bears that kind of fruit that it is. But if that orange tree ever put forth another limb, it'll bring oranges. And if that Life come from Jesus Christ, and they wrote a Book of Acts behind that first Church, if she puts forth another one, it'll write another Book of Acts behind it, with the same thing, because it's got to be the same. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-182   Don't have time to get them all. So let's just, quickly now, while we just got a few minutes, start from M one, two, three, four, five. Raise up your hands, you that got...

L-183 Who has got M one? Is it here? Prayer card M one? Are you sure... Oh, M one, you got prayer card number one? Who had it? The lady there with number one, come right over here. Is that--is this where you bring them? Number one, come over here, lady.

L-184 Number two, who has prayer card number two? Right here. All right, come right over here, sir. Three, raise up your hand.

L-185 Now watch these people on the stretchers, when their cards are called, you pack them up here, 'cause I don't think either one of them can walk, and the gentleman there in a wheel chair. All right.

L-186   One, two, three. Prayer card three? All right, three. Four, four, prayer card four. Let... Look at your card now, right quick. Five. Right there, get up. Go right here, sir. Six, prayer card six, six. Seven. Is--is... These people speak French? Or, seven, all right. Eight, eight. Look, it might be somebody deaf, or something. Eight, all right. All right, now you watch. Watch, the ushers watch them card right there. Eight, nine; nine, ten. You never know where they're at. They're just all mixed up and give out everywhere, you see. Ten. All right. Eleven, eleven. You have eleven, prayer card eleven? All right, over here, eleven.

L-187 Twelve, prayer card twelve. Is it pos-... They speak French? [A brother speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] What, what, huh? Oh. If I have met with you... You speak French, do you,...?... Twelve.
