The word of God tells us that we have to abide in the Lord..for it goes on to saying in the book of John that apart from the Lord we can do nothing..and nothing is a pretty big word..some days we may seem to be on our A game so to speak..we are moving right along and all is going so well for us..but than others days we may seem to feel like we can’t even muster up enough strength to do anything..so if your like me a lot of times you know when you need to go to the Lord..and go take a drink from His well that never runs dry..because guys if we don’t, we do run, and will run, on empty..and run on empty pretty dag on fast..and we all know that to be the best we need to be for the Lord we have to stay filled up with the Lord..because once again we ourselves cannot give away to any one else what we ourselves don’t have…so let us go back to the book of John and let us read just what it says to us God’s children..for the word says this guys..”I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you…John 15:1-12…so we all see and we all just read how we ourselves “MUST” abide in the Lord..for without the Lord guys it says we can do “NOTHING”…and nothing is a huge word..and as well must is a very huge word..and those two words are the key words to our victories..and to us living a well lived happy filled life..for the bible says that in the Lords presence there is fullness of joy and His right hand there are pleasures evermore..Psalm 16:11..so to live a great life..and to live a life that is fulfilled and happy we have to stay connected to our Father in whom is up in heaven…Hallelujah..and we have to walk in the love..and we are to bear much fruit in our lives..and when we do others will see and others will notice and the Lord will be glorified..Amen…for the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law…Galatians 5:22-23..so my prayer for us all is to abide and live our lives in Christ..for apart from the Lord we will never be able to do anything..But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin..1 John 1:7…Amen..so let us abide always in the Lord…living our lives bearing much fruit..always living and abiding in the light of the Lord..shining as brightly as we can for our Father..In Jesus’ name..I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
