  John 15:1-3,5 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman ( gardener ). Every branch in me that bear no fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: without me you can do nothing.      The word purge means to cleanse. It means to get rid of an unwanted quality, condition or feeling. This word purge is also used to describe the process of removing the dead things that makes one unproductive. The process of spiritual cleaning can only begin when we say yes Lord clean me. At this point we are connected to the true vine that is Jesus Christ. By the Holy Spirit who only speaks the truth in Christ, we are then made aware of the areas of our life that needs to be transformed by the power of the Father.       It is the Father who says why we ne

Once the heavens have been opened we must stand in obedience to God's word to keep them open! In other words we must abide!       The word abide means to endure, remain, last, or reside with patience. The word abide can be applied to a place, condition, or a relationship. The word abide as it applies to our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ  means to remain and endure with patience.        Jesus gave us clear instruction on how to abide with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Abiding with Christ gives us the power to abide with the Father and Holy Spirit also because all three are one. The three are God. The bib

Psalm 132: 1-5 There was a time in the life of David that he swore these words: I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed, I will not give sleep to mine eyes or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out a place for the Lord, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob.     Meditate and Activate the following concept:      Often times people call themselves Christians, but at the same time they have no relationship with Christ outside their local church. When you are in true relationship with someone, you care what they think and how they feel. You have respect unto their desires. You ask them what they want, including where they would like to live.       God has said in his word that he would like to dwell in our hearts. David was saying that he would not rest until there was a place prepared for God inside his heart. This is why he asked God to create in him a new clean heart. He wanted God to create a place or heart inside him where God would want to
