Source of Life

I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.  John 15:5 (AMP)

Let’s look at who Jesus is and what His life offers for us.  Please take time to read John 15:1-17.  This will give you a better understanding of Jesus and His character as the True Vine.

This passage is fairly easy to understand…  We have life flowing through us when we stay attached to the True Vine.  It’s amazing how much life can flow through me when I’m attached to the Word and all that God says.  But the moment, I disconnect… the moment I disengage… death starts to creep in.  Okay, maybe not literally.  But Satan starts to hit with anxiety, condemning thoughts, frustration, irritation, anger, selfishness, and so much more.  My mouth tends to say too much when I’m not daily renewed by God’s Word.  Yes, it gets pretty ugly.  This is why I have to keep going back to the Word.  The Word is my life source.  It is what breathes goodness into me.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.  (James 1:5)

Read James 1

This week,I want to talk about finding wisdom in the Word and the importance of believing the Word of God is for you.  There’s no room for doubt or condemnation when it comes to God’s Word.  We need to believe that every word in the Bible is there for a purpose.  We need to believe that God’s Word is for us!

Friend or Enemy of God ~ Pt. 2

Do not love the world or anything in the world.  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  For everything in the world– the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does– comes not from the Father but from the world.  The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.  (1 John 2:15-17)

Monday, I shared with you some thoughts about what my Facebook and Twitter accounts have to say about my relationship with the Lord.  If you would like to take a look at that post you can read it here, Friend or Enemy of God ~ Pt. 1  Today let’s look at a few more things.  My hope is that we can further evaluate where God would like to use us through the different activities we daily participate in.

Forever Strength in God

Whom have I in heaven but you?  And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:25-26 

The days that I live on this earth are but passing moments, compared to eternity.  This earth really doesn’t have anything I desire in comparison to all the things that Heaven has stored up for me.  I desire to do my Father’s will.  To honor His heart on this earth.  He sent His Son to be a living sacrifice, an atonement for the sins that I make daily.  My flesh is weak and I often fail, but God still comes through on a daily basis for me.  He has never failed me and I know that He never will.

A Heart that Pleases God

It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.  (Matthew 15:11)

Lord, please help me to be ever conscious of what I’m putting into  my heart.  So that I can please You with the words that leave my mouth.  I pray for more of You in my life.  More of Your power, strength, guidance, love, peace, hope, patience, and Truth. Read more
