Listen "Abide"
Episode Synopsis
For my waking breath For my daily breath
I depend on You I depend on You
For the sun to rise For my sleep at night
I depend on You Yes,
I depend on You
John 15 in verse 1 Jesus says I'm the true vine and my father is the vine dresser
and He goes in verse 4 He says remain in me and I in you
and just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine
so neither can you unless you remain in me
and in verse 7 Jesus says if you remain in me and my words remain in you
ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you
He says in verse 8 that my father is glorified by this that you bear much fruit
and so prove to be my disciples.
Friends our roles are defined. We are nourished by God when we abide in Christ.
Abiding is holding on to the one who has life for your life supply
recognizing that there is life in no other place but in Christ
and God wants you to bear fruit but he wants you to bear His fruit.
God walks all in all so abiding in Christ is the way that the Holy Spirit produces the fruit of the Spirit in you
the qualities Christ wants to produce in us comes in us and out of us by communion with Christ
and then we come into a greater harvest I mean Jesus says that you will bear much fruit
and later he says that your fruit will abide
sounds like a continuous ongoing increasing fruitfulness
Never negotiate on fellowship with God
the goal is not frequently it is unseasonally
Friends, the world is after your connection to your life supply
it is an infiltration and an attack on the mind to begin to contemplate being in control
because we wither quickly when we fight for control
the Bible says abide Jesus said keep my words and remain in my will
you can't abide in Christ if Christ isn't Christ to you
human efforts will not produce the nature of Christ
we don't produce fruit by self-discipline
discipline is futility without abiding in Christ
even with knowing what is good and what is right
the power to do so requires a force within
and many may know what to do but lack the power to do what is right
Jesus said let my words abide in you so nothing shifts you
I mean you rest in the ability and authority and the certainty of God's word
so your needs can shift you and set you up to pursue things outside the principles of scriptures.
Think about it, long before you were born
God made a promise. God doesn't need to write a new scripture for your new need
His promises are older than your problems and your needs
there's nothing more than scriptures
and we must banish extra-scriptural practices and tendencies
and submit to his word and restore in our hearts the superintendence of the word of God.
Abide in me and I in you
My Father is the vinedresser
I am the true vine, you are the branch
our roles are defined.
Have a blessed day friends!
I say the truth and the lie
you're the well that never runs dry
I'm the branch and you are the vine
draw me close and teach me to abide
I depend on You I depend on You
For the sun to rise For my sleep at night
I depend on You Yes,
I depend on You
