Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you. Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor to my Father. John 15: 7 & 8 – ERV It has been a beautiful journey with the Messiah as we walked with Him through the Vineyard. He carefully instructed us the true way to follow, He pruned and refined us, He prepared us for our great assignments and then He reinforced His desire for us to remain only in Him. Once we remain in Him, He promised to…

If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:6 Picture this, during the fall season the leaves lose their green feature simply because of the change in season. During this season, the days get shorter and the plants get less exposure to the sunlight as compared to the spring and summer seasons. Thus the leaves will now only get a fraction of the necessary nutrients required from the sun as before and would have to be sustained by what is already in the leaf to maintain its life.…

 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything. John 15:5 As we reflect over the past four (4) weeks, abiding and simply walking with Christ through John 15:1-4, we see and feel much revelation imparted to us. He first told us that we should abide in Him; the True Vine. Then He took the time to prune us and stared us in the eyes and lovingly said “You are ready”. After which He encouraged us to remain in Him. On our deep…

 Stay joined to me and I will stay joined to you. No branch can produce fruit alone. It must stay connected to the vine. It is the same with you. You cannot produce fruit alone. You must stay joined to me. John 15: 4 Stemming from our previous devotional “You Are Ready” Christ shared the good news to His disciples. They were ready to carry out their missions. They were already prepared to handle Kingdom Business without Him physically being there. However, He instructed them to never stray away from Him. In order for them to produce fruit it was essential for them to remain connected to the True Vine. …

You have already been prepared to produce more fruit by the teaching I have given you. John 15:3 ERV As I sit and reflect upon the words of John I begin to feel overwhelmed by the revelation the Lord gives. He lets you know in this season and on this very day that He already prepared you to produce more fruit as a result of all the classes you took with Him. This is the point at which He says to you; “You Are Ready”. Did He just say that? Did the Great Rabbi say that I am ready? Yes, He said that you are ready. As a matter of…

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:2 From our last time spent together on “Abide in the True Vine”, we learned that Christ was speaking with His disciples and preparing them for His grand departure. It was essential that He took the time to carefully impart into their hearts these true words because it was these last words which brought their assignment all together. In verse one (1) He instructed them; who was the True Vine and who was the Gardener, to make it fundamentally clear who…

Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. John 15:1 Hey friend, let’s take a journey through the vineyard with Jesus. This moment was so very precious and special to Him and His disciples as He carefully shared so many secret truths with them. Soon He would no longer be with them.  In verse one of John 15 Messiah reaffirmed to them who He was and today still is. It was the seventh (7th) “I Am” which concluded His true character. He distinguished Himself from the wolves whose desire is to kill, steal and destroy His people. It was necessary that He shared these truths…
