<TITLE>08. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48   I said, "There you are! The Methodist will bring forth Methodists, every time. The Baptist will bring forth Baptists, every time. The Catholic will bring forth Catholic, every time. But the Church of the living God will produce Christ from the root, the Word every time, if it ever puts forth another vine of its Own."

L-49   Now, you can graft it in there, you see. Every grapefruit, lemon, tangelo, tangerine, whatever the citrus fruits they are, every one of them can live in that tree; but bearing false witness of the tree, living by the tree. You see it? They are living and thriving on the genuine life that's in that tree.
Now, there is Matthew 24:24, living by the same Life, but they wasn't right, at the beginning. They are bearing false witness of that Tree! It's an orange tree, yet it's a citrus tree. And they say, "This church, this denomination is bearing record of Christ," and got a false baptism, false witness of the Word, trying to say that the power of God was only for the disciples.
Jesus, Himself, said, "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every branch that'll ever... tree that'll ever bring forth, ever branch that'll be in the tree. And these signs shall follow the genuine branches." Where? As long as it's a Tree, as long as It's putting forth branches, to the end of the world. "In My Name they shall cast out devils; speak with new tongues; take up serpents; drink deadly things; lay hands on the sick and they shall recover." See the hour we're living? See what Jesus said?

L-50   Remember, this was at the end time, not back under Wesley and back there. Now, at the end time, this was to take place.
Now watch the Scriptures; let Them testify. Jesus said, "Search the Scriptures, for in Them you think, or believe, that you have Eternal Life, and They are the Ones that testify of Me." In other words, if this tree ever brings forth a branch... "I am the Vine, the Tree; ye are the branches. He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also," Saint John 14:12.

L-51   Now, "He that abideth in Me, he that... him that was in My root at the beginning."
That's the reason Jesus was both the Root and Offspring of David. He was before David, in David, and after David, both Root and Offspring of David; the Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon, the Lily of the Valley, Alpha and Omega; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. "In Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Both Root and Offspring of David!
"He that is the elected Life, the predestinated Life, that's in Me," and He is the Word, "from the beginning; when he comes forth, he'll bear My fruits." Saint John 14:12.
But others will live by the same thing, calling themselves Christians and believers. "Not all that saith, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter in."
Now, and this is to take place and be manifested in the last days, "when the mysteries of God should be finished," as we'll get to a little later.
