God makes seeds. We are the gardeners.
This is why sin will always find you out. It has an effect on the status of your overall soul.
Bound, stopped up, clogged…
”If the enemy can’t get your soul, he’ll try to get your fruitfulness.” - Christine Caine
John 15:1-4, “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.”
We’re fruitless without Him.
John 15:5-8, “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.”
True disciples produce fruit. What are you producing?
John 15:9-11, “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!”
We’re called to be OVERFLOW-ERS. We’re called to be fruitful.
Are you just someone who believes Jesus existed? Or are you a disciple?
Faith without works is dead.
Obedience is not legalism, obedience will lead to a flourishing life.
