THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF LIFE

Chapter IX

The fruit of the Tree of Life is the Love of God that is shed forth in the hears of the children of men." This is true, my dearly beloved. And those who prefer to think of the Tree of Life as some great Tree surrounded in "mist", making it a "Mist-tree" will have great difficulty in partaking of the Fruit thereof.

To you, my beloved ones, is the power to become branches of this glorious Tree of Life as you permit this Christ love to pour out through you. Yea, you become bearers of the Fruit of the Tree of Life. For I Am the Vine, and you are the branches. I Am the Living Vine, or source from which this infinite love pours out through you, in loving thoughts, loving words and loving acts.

Services in some church or lodge have no comparison to the great service given to a world in this great out-pouring of God's love, through you. In the bringing forth of this love is the fulfilling of all the commandments. Yea, it is the Fruit of the Tree of Life that will bring the healing to the nations. It will heal first you who become the bearers of its Fruit, then your associates, who will receive of it, through you; and going on out it will begin to heal your own nation and then the world on which you dwell.

Yea, my children, this great love of God that is poured forth through your opened hearts is truly the Fruit of the Tree of Life. When you comprehend its power and its reality there will be no Cherubim, nor flaming sword, to guard its way, for you, having overcome your sins, will receive of its fullness. And nevermore will you hunger and thirst for in it is the power and fullness of Life. Yea, let your hearts be opened and your spirits become contrite that it might find its power of fruitage in you.

Resist not your sorrows, your troubles, your difficulties and afflictions, but learn obedience by them for such is the purpose and power of your sufferings. This is the pruning that must be given until all that is dead and unproductive in you is trimmed away by our Father, Who is the Husbandman.

Relax and release your broken hearts to the inflowing, outflowing power of love and with your inner spirits contrite with your many failures you will learn the perfection of my healing love and the power of my Holy Will. Know this, beloved, contained within my Divine Will is the perfect, glorious perfection of all your divine powers of complete and utter fulfillment of glory and achievement and happiness and fullness of joy.

My Will is never contrary to your will. It is your will that has been contrary to My Will. In My Will is the divine perfection of all that you could hope for, or imagine. Yea, even your own complete pattern of perfection and all the powers thereof.

Yea, bring to me your broken hearts of failures, of shattered dreams, of suffering and error, and with your spirits grown contrite, the "self" in you will be forever lost and you will find your own great inner Self, the ruler of your Kingdom, yea, your own soul. When you have mastered the flesh you will find your own great master, the power of Christ within, and you will become one with it, ever beautiful, ever perfect, ever loving and glorious. This is the pattern of your fulfillment, your own perfection in all things which will answer all your needs. This is what you have unconsciously hungered and thirsted for. This is the fullness of the Tree of Life bearing its perfected fruit through you, the perfecting of love within your own beings.

Yea, my beloved, be ye bearers of the Fruit of the Tree of Life and let your healing come. And know that his divine Love is shed forth through the Christ center within each one of you. It is that very heart center of your beings that must be opened to its inflow, yea, through your own opened, or broken hearts. Know that it is this contact from within that allows Me to be the Vine and you to become the living branches of glory to bear the Fruit of Life, for the healing of the nations.

It is only when you contact this inner center of Light, or the Vine in your own beings that you can contact the source of Life. This contact is with that "Still Small Voice" within which whispers its wise council in penetrating warmth from the innermost depths of your own beings. This is the contact with the Source of Life. This is the only possible way to become Living Branches of the Tree of Life, with Me as the Vine. This is the only way you can become a fountain for the Living Waters.

These great truths have been presented in many, many ways down the ages, that the great powers behind the words might begin to penetrate your outer consciousness. Nevertheless the blindness of men's minds has been so clouded with the darkness of unbelief that very little of the great Truth has penetrated into man's consciousness.

The Great Day is dawning, my beloved children, and it is time for you to awaken from your deep sleep and comprehend the Truth that you might be free, yea, free from the darkness, the lethargy, the suffering and distress which the great ignorance has caused. Yea, that you might be free and step out into the Light leaving the great darkness behind with its hates, and discords and intense suffering.

Know, my children, my dearly beloved, that when you begin to comprehend the words I spake long ago, and know literally that I Am the Vine and you are the branches that the great Life of Love might begin to pour through you, that your labors be not misdirected nor in vain, you will begin to step forth again in your divine, pristine glory. You will no longer be dead branches, bringing forth your barren sterility and dead works to wither and fall to the earth. Instead you will become a living branch, bringing forth the very Fruit of the Tree of Life. To be a bearer of that divine, All-powerful love with its all-healing, all restoring power of everlasting life. This is the power to KNOW God. It is Life Eternal.

Beloved, when you become the bearer of the Fruit of the Tree of Life it will no longer matter what you do, or where you serve, for every thought, every word and act will be in tune with the whole universe and fraught with infinite power. Yea, you will become a living benediction to the world whether you contact thousands or dozens, or only a few. Yea, your hands will be filled with the sacred gifts of the Spirit. In your heart will be the song of the universe, the great New Song, winging its way to the very throne of God in songs of everlasting praise and it will heal all things that it touches. Through your being will pour forth the Love of God to help heal and bless a world. And through you shall the healing Fruit of the sacred Tree of Life be offered again to the world. This is the fruit that will heal the nations. And they will be healed of their sickness, their greed for power, their misery and suffering -- and death. For I Am the Vine and you are the branches through which this Fruit must be borne.
