“I know that for me years ago when I first began to walk with the Lord..the Lord kept drawing me to the word of God and to these particular scriptures..and it said this..”I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman..Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges 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 abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing..If a man abides 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!”..John 15:1-9..Amen!”

“Because honestly I didn’t understand that concept about abiding..Amen..I didn’t think that my life or my choices involved for me to always abide in the Lord..Amen..or to be in constant fellowship with Him..being mindful of Him and His presence in my life..Amen..because if we only just pray and go about our ways and our business so to speak..than before long were doing our own thing..were not including Jesus..Amen..and in that part we end up walking our own pathway..doing our own thing..and living our lives the way that we think we need to be..but when we include our Father..we end up doing incredible things..we end up walking pathways we never imagined for our own selves..because without the Lord we cannot do so much of anything..anything that is fruitful I should say..anything that will lead us to making Kingdom decisions and choices for our lives..Amen!..so this morning as I was talking to Jesus and contemplating over my life and the things I’m doing at this moment..new things that are happening..the Lord again speaks to me His daughter..and He confirms to me again..the same scriptures of abiding in Him..for without Him I can’t..but with Him..I can..Amen!”

“For there is nothing that we can’t do when we have the Lord on our side..and when we are hooked up with Him..bearing much fruit in our lives..Amen..for the Lord is the vine and we are His branches..and when we are whole and complete with Him..we go forth doing mighty and great things..being ever so fruitful and as we do the Lord begins to multiply it all for us and our lives.. but as well not only our lives but the lives of those ones in whom are around us..Amen..because when we have the Lord and His fragrance on our lives..others can’t help but smell the goodness of the Lord..Amen..and be drawn to Him and all of who He alone is..so today I challenge us all to be hooked up..make sure that we are abiding with the Lord Jesus..that we are not apart from Him in our lives..but that we are there right alongside Him..walking with Him and talking with Him..and as the song says..and as the song sings..all the day long..Amen..that a way..we are not dying out..or shriveling up in our walk with the Lord our God..so to live that abundant life..this abundant life..John 10:10..we have to do our part..and we have to stay close..hand in hand..always being mindful and in prayer with our Lord..our Heavenly Father..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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
