枝子已经被拣选并且被立，前去结常存的果子。果子存留多久，在于我们把多少生命分赐到果子里面。这全在于我们把多少生命，分赐到新蒙恩的人里面。这决定他们会存留多久。我们把人带到主面前，常常只把少量的生命分赐到他们里面；因此，他们很少留下，很难长久存留。
枝子被拣选去结常存的果子，乃是藉着在子的名里祷告。我们为着结果子祷告时，必须在子的名里祷告。在主的名里求，需要我们住在主里面，并让主和祂的话住在我们里面，使我们实际与祂是一。这样，我们祈求，就是祂在我们的祈求里求。这样的祈求与结果子有关，必定会得着父的答应。

The branches have been chosen and appointed to bear remaining fruit. How long the fruit remains depends on how much life we impart into it. It all depends upon the amount of life we impart into the new believers. This determines how long they will remain. Often in bringing people to the Lord we impart into them only a small amount of life. Therefore, they scarcely remain. It is difficult for them to remain for a longer time.
The branches have been chosen to bear remaining fruit through praying in the Son’s name. When we pray for fruit-bearing, we must pray in the Son’s name. To ask in the Lord’s name requires us to abide in the Lord and to let him and his words abide in us that we may actually be one with him. Then our asking will be his asking. This kind of asking is related to the fruit-bearing and surely will be answered by the Father.
