John, chapter 15 (5)
LORD God, thank you for Your Word for You say in Luke 21:33 heaven and earth may pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Thank you that Your Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). May You lead and direct our paths as You make all the crooked places straight in the name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you LORD.
John 15:7-8 (NKJV)
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
Amen, thank you LORD.
In these verses, Jesus is demonstrating an order to His disciples that is, in order to be able to bear fruit that glorifies the Father, abiding in Jesus and His words is the starting point. Revelation 22:17 (NKJV) gives us an invitation to drink from the rivers of life which is the water of God's Word. It says, And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life and freely. The LORD is also showing us that producing fruit that lasts and glorifies the Father is birthed from a place of relationship which is communion between the child of God and Christ. Jesus was only able to birth fruit because He had relationship and communion with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
Revelation 22:17 above also presents the beauty of relationship and communion where both the Spirit and the bride openly invite us and say, Come! As a child of God, you are among the people, chosen by God and given a special, highly esteemed invitation to commune and spend time with God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Spirit by drinking freely of the water of life found in the Word of God.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) says, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord." As you look into the Word of God, you are looking into the mirror of God's Word and just like a mirror, you behold your true identity as one made in the image of Christ. It is like spending time with someone, the more time you spend with them, the more you become like them.
I'll end with this Word found in Psalm 119:124-125 (TPT)
Let me feel your tender love, for I am yours. Give me more understanding of your wonderful ways.
I need more revelation from your Word to know more about you, for I'm in love with you!
Amen, thank you LORD.
Invitation to salvation: The greatest gift that God gave the world will always be His Son, Jesus. If you would like to receive eternal life and have personal relationship with God through His Beloved Son, Jesus. I invite you to say this confession:
"I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that; Jesus Christ, the Son of God came in a human body to die for my sins so that I could have a new life where I am dead to sin and alive to God. I repent of my past sins and enter the Kingdom of light where I choose relationship with Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour and with God as my loving Father today and forever." AMEN.
GLORY TO GOD, You are now a new creation in Christ Jesus! In case you have not already, please prayerfully consider becoming a member of a church and get WATER BAPTIZED!
If you have not already, I encourage you to read chapters 1-15 of John's Gospel! GOD BLESS YOU
