<TITLE>06. Par 53-65</TITLE>L-53 He said, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do, the things that I do, shall He also." Don't need any interpretation, He just does it. That's all. If... "I am the Vine, and ye are the branches." The same Life is in the Vine is in the branches, the same branch that come forth on the Day of Pentecost.

L-54   I stood the other day and seen a mysterious sight. A good friend of mine, and a friend of Jack Moore. John Sharrit, the Lord blessed him, the first part of the ministry. He had no children. He worked for twenty-five cents an hour, busting concrete on the street. He come to the meeting, the Lord blessed him; got five children, and now he owns half of Phoenix. He gives about two or three million, each year, to the Lord. I was standing on his farm, not long ago, one of them, where he had fifteen hundred Mexicans working steady. And a whole county of nothing but cotton, potatoes, county after county. He owns them, hisself, and a fifteen years ago was getting a quarter an hour, for breaking concrete. He trusted God.

L-55   I was looking at one of his trees, and it had so many different kind of fruit on it. He has great citrus orchards. And I said, "Brother Sharrit, what about that tree there?"
He said, "Brother Branham, that's got all kind of fruit on it."

L-56 I said, "Well, it's got lemons, it's got... I see tangerines, tangelo. I seen lemons, grapefruit, and oranges." I said, "What kind of a tree is that?"
He said, "An orange tree."
I said, "Orange? With all them on it?"
He said, "Yes, that's grafted. It's pushed in there."
And I said, "Oh, I see. That's what you call grafting?"

L-57 He said, "Yes, Brother Branham." He explained how they done it, certain times of the year, how they grated this limb.

L-58 I said, "Now, next year, there won't be any tangerines, there won't be any tangelos, there won't any fruit at all but nothing but oranges."

L-59 He said, "Oh, no. No, no." Said, "The grapefruit will bring, the vine of the grapefruit will bring forth a grapefruit vine, a grapefruit. The tangerine will bring a tangerine. The lemon will bring a lemon."
"Well," I said, "what kind of a tree is that?"
He said, "A orange tree," he said.

L-60 "But if that orange tree ever puts forth another branch," I said, "what will it bring?"
He said, "An orange."
I said, "I see it." Oh, yes. Why? They're all citrus fruit.

L-61   We all claim to be in Christ. But when we come in There, with a denominational creed, we live by It. That's right. But if that Tree ever brings forth another branch, it'll be another Book of Acts wrote behind it. It'll be like the first branch was, that come forth. It'll be Holy Ghost filled, Holy Ghost inspired, Holy Ghost! They're be no creed to it. It'll be a Word.

L-62 Many of you takes my tapes, got the Message on The Bride Tree. The fruit is right in the top, for the evening Lights to--to ripen. Now, and the evening Lights is ripening the fruit at this time.

L-63   Now, we find they ought to have known Him, but they knew Him not. So is it in our time, they know Him not. Jesus here was referring... Quickly now, so we get to the Message. Jesus was referring back, and He had been doing signs, showing them that He was the Messiah, exactly what Messiah was supposed to do, doing the Messianic sign. Oh, many of them, we took last night, believed it.

L-64 We find out that the--the woman at the well, she wasn't educated. She was ill-famed. But as soon as she seen that sign, she said, "Sir, I perceive You're a prophet. And I know that when the Messiah cometh, and He'll do this."
He said, "I am He that speaks to you."

L-65 And when she went into the city of Sychar, and told them all the things that He had done, said, "Come, see a Man Who told me what I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah?" And the Bible said... He didn't do it anymore, but they believed He, on Him, because of the testimony of a woman of ill fame. Now talk about rising in the days of Jonas and condemning this generation?
