Our Fruit

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.”- John 15:5,8

We will bear fruit (fact). There is no way around it. Good fruit or bad fruit, one way or the other it will happen. Many times in my life I have “played the game” acting as if I was perfect while living a life of sin in secret. The fact is there is no secret. Your fruit will show. Maybe for a season we can snow someone, or trick a group of people into believing our actions are pure at heart. The catch is God knows and in time your fruit will show and everyone else will as well. So guys, lets plant good seeds and bear good fruit. The time is NOW! No more games! Lets serve God wholeheartedly and enlarge the Kingdom!

His Voice

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
— John 3:17 (NIV)
I believe many people walk around feeling unworthy or condemned because of the things they have done. They hear people around them talk a/b forgiveness and freedom but don’t understand it. For me to fully understand the truth I had to comprehend the fact that GOD came to this Earth as a man. He could have rode in on chariots, appeared in full glory, or appeared as a King of a nation. Jesus could have showed up as a full grown, full of knowledge, prominent being, but he didn’t. Jesus showed up as a baby. He was birthed just like me and you! If you study the scriptures and the time frames there was around a 400 year silence in between the last time God spoke to the World, and the moment he was born as a man. In Old Testement times he used prophets. New Testement times he came as Jesus. So God broke the silence to HIS PEOPLE, after hundreds of years in a powerful, relevant, real way, CRYING!!!! The first thing that came out of the mouth of the God who spoke the World into existence was the cry of a child! Broken, scared, and unable to take care of Himself. Guys that it how we must go to HIM. Broken and crying. He showed us the way from His very first words as a human. We are not condemned. We are saved by faith through grace. We are SAVED through HIM! I love you Jesus..!!!

My Prayer

I love you Daddy. I thank you for everything your doing in my life, the things your going to do, as well as the things you have already done. PRAISE you Father. Lord let your will be done in my life. Move me out of the way completely. Take pride from me. I am nothing, you are everything. When I can't you can. Help me to understand what you want me to do Lord. Keep your hand over my life. Your face is what I long to see, Your eyes piercing the depths of me. Come quickly my Father because your son is here waiting. Anything you ask for me to give you Lord i gladly give. My life is Yours. Bless my hands to do Your work. Anoint my lips to speak Your Word. You are Truth and that is all I want in my life. Destroy this flesh I have to walk around in. Call my name Lord, send me. Loose the Spirit of Elijah over your people. I just want to serve You. I LOVE YOU FATHER!!!!!!!

He won't stop

You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
I don't want to talk about you, like your not in the room
I want to look right at you
I want to sing right to you

How awsome is that? God will never let up. He will pursue me with his everything FOREVER! No matter where i am or what i do, Jesus will not relent! When I'm at the bottom He is yearning for me. When I am on my game, Jesus is still pursuing my with reckless abandon. What a promise! Stop telling God how big your problems are, and begin telling your problems how big your GOD is. HELLO!!! For the past 10 years I have run as fast as i can from God. Trying to do everything myself. Through all of my rebelion he has never stopped chasing me. He will never stop. So what's my next move? Absolutely nothing. I have placed my life in His hands. He works all things together for my good. hahahahahhaha...I LOVE Jesus sooooo much!

Really?

Somtimes i really start to wonder what it is exactly that im called to do. Like what is the exact thing that Daddy has for me. The more i try and figure it out right now the more confused and aggrivated i get. I know that it is sharing his LOVE and FREEDOM with everyone i can. So the question is...Who will be my sheep? Ready for the revelation?...None of this matters. All that matters is that i renew my mind daily. I have to concentrate on the tast at hand that God has placed in front of me. I'm at the well right now. Drinking as much as possible. Soaking up all the knowledge, revelation, and conformation i can. So all i can do is BE STILL...let God be God. That is more than enough. At church last night i recieved a word. "Sometimes it takes loosing everything you have and getting to the point where God is all you have left to truly understand God is all you ever needed".!!!!! HELLO!! Have you way in my life today Daddy. Have me to do the things you want me to do today. I just want to follow you. Praise God. He is so good. So ya I'm happy and content in knowing that God created me perfectly for the plans he has for me. I have the easy part. FOLLOW HIM.

GOD BLESS and know ..."So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" John 8:36
