IT'S TIME FOR PRUNING SEASON, A TIME TO CUT AWAY THE OLD AND MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEW.

 The whole earth is getting ready to rest.

To have old things that hindered our growth, removed and to make room for the new growth.

In the Spring it will be evident what has transpired.

John 15:1-5

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. 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.

The pruning process will lead us to greater growth in the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22-24

But the  fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law.  And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires.

God will remove unhealthy parts in a believers life.  This will cause us to mature, this will make room for spiritual growth.

This process of pruning can be painful. It will remove things that we want to hang onto.

When we are being pruned back, we are being shaped to be fruitful and to be more like Jesus.

Thank God for the process of removing the deceptions that we were believing, and removing false relationships that were slowly leading us away from the truth of God's word.

The pruning process can be painful, you will think, "what will be left". 

Beloved, only those things that are of God, will be left.

Isaiah 43:18-19

"Do not remember the former things.  Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, And rivers in the desert.

Beloved, the wilderness of our life, the trials and disappointments, will receive rivers in our dry places.

After the pruning process and the disciplines needed, the water of God's word will bring new life.

Proverbs 3:11-12

My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor detest the correction. For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

Enjoy the season of rest, as you submit to the Lord and all He is doing in your life.

God Bless your day

Jesus loves you

I preached a message on this at the Baptist church this past Sunday. My message was, "What Kind of Harvest Are You Looking For ". If only we would understand that our only duty is to Abide in the Vine! Amen, Mama Joy! Amen 🙏

The pruning process is painful, but with the watering of God’s word, we will blossom more beautifully and brilliantly than ever before. Thank you, Lord, for this reminder.

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

ARE WE USING THE AUTHORITY AND WEAPONS, JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US?

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
