The VINE and me

John 15: 1-8 

(read 1-17, it’s good!)

“I am the vine; you are the branches. 

If you remain in me and I in you, 

you will bear much fruit; 

apart from me you can do nothing.”

Remember, Jesus said:

On that day, you will realize

that I am in my Father

and you are in Me and 

I am in you?

We are a Holy nation!

We are OF God

as we are IN Christ Jesus!

The ones who choose not to be part of this

are cut off; pruned.

and thrown into the fire.

Why? 

they can not bear fruit, much less bear Christ.

They are not worthy

They choose not to be CLEAN by the Word.

They choose the world over Jesus

Apart from our Life Line (Vine who is Jesus)

we can do nothing apart from God.

Scripture says Nothing can separate us from God’s Love

Yes, He will always love us.

But it is our choice

to love Him back.

We can not bear fruit apart from God-

I am talking about the God producing fruit-

the kind of fruit that is pleasing to the Father;

Beginning with Salvation.  Mine/Yours/theirs.

Jesus is Lord- Salvation’s gift to us

Without it; we are nothing.

Without Jesus- we are nothing, scriptures say.

So then, let’s become SOMETHING!

This is why we share with the world of God’s Good News-

the news of Salvation- to the Way, Truth and Life-

because apart from God- we have no Word, no Light, and ultimately

by bad choices- h e l l.

Remember, God doesn't send people to hell.

The one who REJECTS God sends themselves to hell.

and, Hell is REAL- whether you believe or not.

You will find out for yourself.

Let’s find out who Jesus is.  Do you want to know Him?

The bible says SEEK and you will FIND.

in this scripture it says to REMAIN.

Do you want LIFE- from the giver of life?

Remain IN Him.

Believe and Remain.

Remain then

GROW

PRODUCE FRUIT

BE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD.

Jesus, thank you for Your Word that cleanses us of all unrighteousness.  Thank you that You are the Word.

We need to believe- to receive You Lord.  We need to LOVE You Lord.

Jesus, please Lord, let me be a tiny piece of Your complete Joy!

I want you to dance over me,

to rejoice over me,

to pour out Your LOVE over me,

and be pleased with me, Lord.

And in return, I want to walk with You

talk to You

love my Lord

with all that I have with in me.

I want you to be pleased with the fruit I have brought to You, Abba.

I want it to pleasing to Your sight.

As for now, accept my offering of love.  

Thank you that You are my JOY- my DELIGHT!

I find pleasure knowing that I pleased the Father.

Even when I am pruned- I am grateful.

A good vine has the unfruitful (sucker plants) pruned

these suck the life out of the fruit bearing vine.

I choose LIFE, Jesus.  I choose YOU. 

Please accept me, and my faith in You.

Thank you that You are the Vine, and Father, You are the husbandman

of my life.

Thank you that nothing shall snatch me out of Your hands.

Thank you that as I remain in you, I have life, Your Eternal Life!

Bless our faith today, Jesus.  

and, bless our fruit too.

Honor Your children who are called by Your name across the world.

Let us be counted worthy of our Lord.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen Jesus!

I love you Lord

Amen.
