Fruit-Bearing Branch

 Fruit-Bearing Branch

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;

 and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

 "You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

 "Abide in Me, and I in you. 

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine,

 neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

 "I am the vine, you are the branches.

 He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;

 for without Me you can do nothing.

 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered;

 and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 

"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,

 you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

 "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;

 so you will be My disciples.


 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you;

 abide in My love.

 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love,

 just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

 "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you,

 and that your joy may be full.

 "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

 "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

 "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

 "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends,

 for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

 "You did not choose Me,

 but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit,

 and that your fruit should remain,

 that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 

John 15:1-16 


The branch that is connected to the vine bears fruit.

The branch that is not connected, falls and withers.

This vital connection is Faith.


JESUS is the true vine - He is the Truth.

 Father GOD is the gardener Who planted the vine on this earth and takes responsibility for the tree.



The purpose of the branch is to bear the fruit of the vine. It is the branch that bears fruit for the vine. Therefore GOD takes away the person who is in CHRIST but does not bear fruit. He is useless on this earth.

Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. - James 2:17 


The vinedresser prunes the branch that bears fruit. He cuts off things, activities and people from our lives that hinder our fruitfulness. Then we bear more fruit.

The word of GOD brings conviction and enables us to put away any hindrance to bearing fruit.


We abide in Him when we live in right relationships with GOD’S people in obedience to the LORD.

He abides in us when we meditate on His word, obey and commune with Him.

Are you on WhatsApp communication with GOD?

GOD'S WhatsApp messages to you!

 

And He went up on the mountain

and called to Him those He Himself wanted.

And they came to Him.

 Then He App-ointed twelve,

 that they might be with Him

 and that He might send them out to preach,

 and to have power to heal sicknesses

 and to cast out demons:

Mark 3:13-15 


"You did not choose Me,

 but I chose you and App-ointed you

 that you should go and bear fruit,

 and that your fruit should remain

 that whatever you ask the Father in My name

He may give you.

John 15:16


I am the vine, you are the branches.

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;

for without Me you can do nothing.

John 15:5

 And as it is App-ointed for men to die once, 
but after this the judgment, 
so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. 
To those who eagerly wait for Him He will App-ear a second time, 
apart from sin, for salvation.
Hebrews 9:27-28


He called you! Did you miss the call?

He called you to Himself!

He appointed you to be with Him.
He then wants to send you out to preach the Good News of the Gospel.
He wants you to go out with His power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons!

He has chosen you and has appointed you to bear lasting fruit.
Whatever you ask Father GOD in the name of the LORD JESUS He will give you.
You must abide in Him by constant communion with Him and through obedience to Him.

You have been appointed to die once and then face the judgment.
CHRIST was offered for your sins so that you may eagerly await His appearing for salvation!!

Be careful not to miss GOD'S WhatsApp call again!

You may call Him anytime. 

Call Him now on Jeremiah 33:3
 'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.'

Dwelling Place or Meeting Place

Dwelling Place or Meeting Place

 Do you not know that you are the temple of God 
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you

1 Corinthians 3:16 

For thus says the High and Lofty One
Who inhabits eternity, 
whose name is Holy: 
"I dwell in the high and holy place, 
With him who has a contrite and humble spirit
To revive the spirit of the humble, 
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones. 
Isaiah 57:15 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High 
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 
Psalm 91:1 

In the tabernacle of meeting, 
outside the veil which is before the Testimony, 
Aaron and his sons shall tend it
from evening until morning before the Lord. 
It shall be a statute forever to their generations 
on behalf of the children of Israel. 
Exodus 27:21 

They said in their hearts, 
"Let us destroy them altogether." 
They have burned up 
all the meeting places of God in the land. 
Psalm 74:8 

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is 
For brethren to dwell together in unity
It is like the precious oil upon the head, 
Running down on the beard, 
The beard of Aaron, 
Running down on the edge of his garments. 
It is like the dew of Hermon, 
Descending upon the mountains of Zion; 
For there the Lord commanded the blessing-
- Life forevermore. 

Psalm 133:1-3

TWO SIDES

TWO SIDES

All things have two sides. 

Let's think about it. 

Doesn't everything on earth 

have two sides to it?

If there is a beginning, there is an end.
If there is a start, there has to be a finish.
If there is an up, then there is a down.
Inside and outside;
 right side and left side.
Even the shortest thinnest line and the tiniest dot have two dimensions!
There is a width and a length!

Hooks and Loops!

There is a heaven and a hell.
There is a downward pull which is gravity and an upward pull which is glory.
There is light and darkness;
good and evil.

In relationships there is giving and receiving;
bearing and forbearing;
repenting and forgiving.

Even in our relationship with GOD there are two sides,
GOD'S and ours, just like any covenant.
GOD always does His part. How about you?
Are you doing your part to see GOD'S promises fulfilled in your life?


 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High 
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91:1

For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; 

In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; 
He shall set me high upon a rock.
Psalm 27:5

For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, 

whose name is Holy: 
"I dwell in the high and holy place, 
With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, 
To revive the spirit of the humble, 
And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 57:15 


Man dwelling in GOD
and GOD dwelling in man.
.................................
I am the vine, you are the branches. 

He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; 
for without Me you can do nothing.
John 15:5 


 Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. 
If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, 
you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. 
And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life. 
These things I have written to you 
concerning those who try to deceive you. 
But the anointing which you have received from Him 
abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; 
but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, 
and is true, and is not a lie, 
and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
1 John 2:24-27 


I abide in CHRIST
and CHRIST abides in me.
...............................................
nor will they say, 'See here!' or 'See there!' 

For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."
Luke 17:21

Assuredly, I say to you, 

whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child 
will by no means enter it."
Luke 18:17 


When the Kingdom of GOD is within me
I am in the Kingdom of GOD.
.................................................

 If we confess our sins, 
He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9

If we confess, He will forgive.
..............................................

He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 
But as many as received Him,
to them He gave the right to become children of God, 
to those who believe in His name:
John 1:11-12


if we believe Him and receive Him
He gives us the right to become
children of GOD.
..........................................

 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, 
believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Mark 11:24

If we believe we will receive. 
........................................

Now He did not do many mighty works there 
because of their unbelief.
Matthew 13:58

and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. 
And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.
Matthew 14:36


If we touch Him He will touch us.
...............................................

Do not love the world or the things in the world.
 If anyone loves the world, 
the love of the Father is not in him. 
For all that is in the world-
-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, 
and the pride of life--is not of the Father 
but is of the world. 
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; 
but he who does the will of God abides forever. 
1 John 2:15-17 

Deceptive teachings from false prophets and teachers
lure even the very elect into carnal lusts.
When Babylon of worldliness stands tall and strong
and false teachers preach and offer things
that seem to satisfy the lusts of the flesh and eyes
and the pride of life,
the carnal mind gets attracted to it.
If money is the hook,
the love of money is the loop that gets hooked to it!
Such hooks will increase in the world these end times.
Let us beware and make sure
our minds and hearts are free of loops!

Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23
...........................
 "Ask, and it will be given to you; 
seek, and you will find; 
knock, and it will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 


When we ask it will be given to us.
When we seek we will find.
when we knock it will be opened to us.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, 

and I will listen to you. 
And you will seek Me and find Me, 
when you search for Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:12-13 


When we call upon the LORD
He will listen to us.
When we search for Him
we will find Him.
...................................

This is a faithful saying: 

For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 
If we endure, We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He also will deny us. 
If we are faithless, He remains faithful; 
He cannot deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:11-13 


Faithful GOD!
