ABIDE in Him

As I read those Holy Words in (John 15) I could sense the Holy Spirits Power washing over my THOUGHTS. In John 15:7 you will find the word (IF) in this verse of scripture.  It is the condition that the Lord requires of His children to become His AUTHORITY in the earth. To ABIDE in His KNOWLEDGE shall totally destroy all that the powers of the curse of law have to say. ABIDE in Him is a full surrender to His Words of Spirit.  As I read the study notes in my Bible I was so blessed to understand how our lives must ABIDE in His Word.  Every believer IN CHRIST is referred to by this illustration or it is meaningless. If the believer is fruitful he is purged to produce more fruit. If he is fruitless he is taken away or removed from being part of the vine. The Father does this, not man.  No man is able to pluck one branch from God's hands, but if we say that God cannot cut off any branch that is fruitless, then we limit God and make the dead, fruitless, and useless branches to be more powerful than He is. To take this position would be unlawful to prune the vine and remove dead branches. No man can cut off any branch that is not actually in the vine. As I was searching the Holy Scriptures the Spirit of the Lord was guiding me into yet another area that is vital to the Body of Christ. He said to me that it is NOT just the Holy Word of God that brings forth His authority to His children. That really shocked me and I couldn't believe what He said to me.  He said to me it only the children of God that fully obey and walk in ACTION to His Word that will receive. It is not just listening to His Word or even reading it that will cause it to manifest itself in our life's. We must become His son's and daughters and become full of ACTION in what He tells us to do in His Word.  Action requires movement and movement requires walking daily in His Word. (John 15:4) Abide in me, and I in you.  As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vines; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. To become fruitful in the Blessing of God there are conditions given in His Word. Once again read (John 15:4-7) and you find His conditions given. As I read those holy words in (John 15) I could sense the Holy Spirits power washing over my THOUGHTS In John 15:7 you will find the word (IF) in this verse of scripture. It is the condition that the Lord requires of His children to become His AUTHORITY in the earth. To ABIDE in His KNOWLEDGE shall totally destroy all that the powers of the curse of law have to say. ABIDE in Him is a full surrender to His Words of Spirit. As I read the study notes in my Bible I was so blessed to understand how our lives must ABIDE in His Word.

To take this position would be unlawful to prune the vine and remove dead branches. No man can cut off any branch that is not actually in the vine.  It is absurd and contrary to the letter and Spirit of the parable here to talk about branches that are cut off as merely professing to be branches. The word ABIDE in John 15:4 is the Greek word MENO. It means to remain, continue, dwell, and abide. This is a command to remain IN CHRIST. The reason is given here as not being able to bear fruit otherwise. The Lord is not finished concerning this subject of FRUIT BEARING in the lives of His son's and daughters. Read (Gal. 5:16-26; 6:1-10) and notice how the fruits of the Spirit of God are manifested. Also notice how the fruits of the flesh are manifested. Do we each see the fruits of the Spirit of the Lord in our lives or do see the fruits of the flesh? Only you can answer that question and only you can change your life into His most precious fruits of the Spirit of God. I can't say enough about the Drake study Bible. If you don't own one of these Bibles I would highly recommend this Great Study Bible to you today. (Isaiah 43:15) "I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel your King". (Isa. 18:7) "At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel". (Isa. 25:3-4)" Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength". (Isa. 43:15) "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become My Salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the Wells of Salvation".
