Connected To The Vine (John 15:4 & 5)

“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.”

“Many of My children are praying for fruitfulness, when they just have to begin to live in Me. I love how they love Me and seek Me, but a branch cannot bear fruit if it is disengaged from the tree. It would only have a finite life; but those branches that receive life giving sap from the trunk of the tree are flourishing, fresh and full, bearing flowers and fruit, and fulfilling the purpose for which they were created. When you abide in Me, you are a complete part of Me. You become an important life filled member of My Body. My child, abiding means that we become One – you in Me and I in you. It means that you produce and partake of the fruit that flows from Me. There is no anger, bitterness, frustration, control, or any kind of infirmity or oppression in Heaven and none in Me. There is no lack or pain of body or mind. When you abide in Me, you begin to also abide in everything I AM. You become as I AM – the expression of My heart for humanity – My love and grace, My mercy and kindness, My absolute peace. You begin to flow in the fruit of My Spirit, and the manifestation of all the Goodness of who I AM, El Shaddai, the all sufficient One who supplies exceedingly abundantly all that you could ever need.

I break the spirit of barrenness off your life today, and call you back to fruitfulness. I am calling you back into My Body, the church. Reject independence and let me draw you back into the joy of intimate dependence on Me. Lone rangers cannot bear fruit because they are not fully abiding in Me. You are a part of My Body, a part of My heart, and you can be so fruitful if you learn to lean on others and to lean into Me. There is truly nothing that can separate you from Me.

I break the spirit of rejection off your heart today, and call you back into communion with other parts of My Body. I place My healing kiss on every wound in your heart, every place of pain which disconnected you from where I want you to be. Fruitfulness in everything is your destiny, but begin to delight yourself in Me! I smile when I see you walking in your purpose. It brings me great joy when I see you enjoying oneness and fellowship with My family. It is fellowship with Me!

I break the spirit of mourning off you and release into you My joy. I am giving you back your laughter! I am restoring back to you everything you lost and more. I am releasing a spirit of Acceleration upon your life and declaring that you are receiving back all that the locusts ate away. You are stepping into a season of unusual fruitfulness as you step into a new season of yieldedness in Me. I am doing a new thing in you, which you will soon begin to see.

Without Me you can do nothing. Remember that you did not choose Me but I chose you and appointed you, that you should bear fruit, eternal, lasting fruit (John 15:16). We are a team! Our togetherness brings great results but the extent of your success depends on the extent of your connectedness to Me. Become a part of Me. Identify yourself with Me. The rewards are for all eternity as you will see! You will do greater things than I ever did, when you lose yourself in Me. Abide in Me, and you will feel and know Me abiding abide in you too."
