Branch on the Vine that Bears Fruit (Jn. 15:1-8)
Let us bless and greet one another, “Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God.” The title of today’s message is, “Branch on the Vine that Bears Fruit.” Last week, we received the Word regarding the peace that God gives us. That peace from Christ is not in the world, it is a peace that only Jesus Christ can give us. This world does not know this peace; however, they are still living, trying to gain that peace, and they call it, “happiness.” However, this world does not have the happiness or peace that God gives. The Advocate or Counselor, the Holy Spirit that lives within us, has to teach us and remind us of the words of Jesus Christ for us to have this peace, and we can only enjoy that blessing through faith.
We receive that faith by hearing the Word, so if you listen accurately to the words of Christ today, your faith grows. However, if you keep on wondering, “Why is my life always so full of suffering and without answers?” it is because you are not listening well, it is because you’re not listening to what you should listen to, and you are listening to what you shouldn’t listen to, because whatever you hear goes into your heart, and that’s what’s moving you. For example, the things that you heard gave you a scar, and that’s still causing you suffering today. However, if the Word of God comes into us, then Heb. 4:12 says that that Word of God heals and changes us.
1. True vine – Jesus
1) Farmer – God the Father
(1) Branch – God’s child
Then, what is the Word God is giving us today? Jesus Christ tells us, “I am the True Vine and my Father is the Farmer,” so Jesus Christ is the True Vine, and His Father, God the Father, is the Gardener, so the Gardener is tending to His grapevines. The goal of the Gardener is to have a lot of grape fruit on the vines. However, there are some branches that bear fruit and some that do not.
(2) Branch that doesn’t bear fruit – Cuts off
It says that, if there is a branch that does not bear fruit, the Father will throw it out. This doesn’t mean that God is going to take away your salvation, it means He will just leave you alone.
(3) Branch that bears fruit – Prune
However, for the branch that does bear fruit, the Lord will prune it so that it will be even more fruitful. In order for you and I to bear better fruit, we must concentrate on only the words of Jesus Christ, because only through the Words of Christ Who is the True Vine must we receive the answer to every area of our life. However, if we enjoy or value or concentrate on something other than the True Vine, Christ, then we will not bear the right fruit. So, for example, the more you live your life holding onto something you value more than you value Christ, the more the fruit in your life will be bad. It doesn’t matter how great or correct your thoughts are, because that cannot be compared to the Word of God, and the more you have the desire to live your life however you want to live your life, the smaller your fruit will be. If you make all your decisions and chase after what you desire, then fruit is impossible. If you are racing towards more power or success for yourself, then there is no fruit there.
Some of you may be thinking, “Well, I came to church because I wanted those things, but they’re telling me that I shouldn’t chase after those things, then, should I stop going to church?” Just know that all of those things will be found within Christ. Anything that is not inside of Christ is fake, so they are almost cheating you out of these True things. If we value or place greater importance on something other than Christ in the deepest part of our heart, then God will prune that or cut that out. It doesn’t matter how precious your children are. If your children are more precious to you than God, then He will prune even your children. Yes, we do need money and success and wisdom and knowledge, but all of those things should be found inside of Christ. If we value those things above Christ, then He will prune those things away as well. For a pastor, they might think of the words, “Church Revival,” and that might seem like a good thing, but even that must be an answer found within Christ. If they value a revival above Christ, God may even prune that, but the reason why He is pruning is so that we may bear even greater fruit.
2) God’s child – Branch
(1) Clean because of the words I have spoken to you (Jn. 15:3)
Jn. 15:3, Jesus Christ says, “You,” speaking to His children, “are already clean because of the words I have spoken to you.” “Clean” here is talking about salvation. You’ve already been cleansed from all of your sin, and if you compare the word, “prune” above, it is different from the word, “clean” here.
(2) Cross – It is finished (Jn. 19:30)
What this verse means is that Jesus Christ will die on the cross to finish all problems, and because His disciples believe in that, they are cleaned and saved.
(3) New creation (2 Cor. 5:17)
Now, 2 Cor. 5:17 says that we are a new creation, our inner person is completely different. So, I hope you will stop trying so hard on your own and acknowledge that you are changed. Instead of trying to tinker and fix your old, broken car, you just need to change out your engine entirely. On the outside, your car might seem very old and worn out, still, but on the inside, it’s a brand new car with a new engine; that’s how our lives should be. My problem has been finished on the cross and it is no longer a problem, why? Because I died on the cross with Christ; then, it’s no longer a problem. Now, this is the situation for me to look for the Lord’s plan and blessing; it’s not my problem. The Lord has bought my life with His blood, and now, my Lord is Christ. No matter what big problem I face, the Lord takes care of it. The more we find this believable, the more fruit we will bear. That’s what it means that we will become clean.
3) In Jesus
(1) Remain in the covenant (Jn. 15:4)
(2) Jesus remains in you (Jn. 15:4)
Then in Jn. 15:4, Jesus says, “Remain in Me. As I also remain in you.” He also remains in us; now we must remain in Him, the Lord, that means we must remain in His Word. You must not remain in your own thoughts. We must remain in the Word that the Lord gives us. There are many athletes who are disqualified because of cheating, then, even if they get first place, they are still disqualified; they have to compete according to the rules of the competition, and the Bible says that we are like athletes, that means there are rules.
(3) No fruit if not in Jesus (Jn. 15:4)
As we live our lives, there are rules, for example, we are the branch, and Jesus Christ is the vine, we have our rules. The “rule” is that, when we live and follow the Word that is coming from the vine, then our lives will bear fruit. But, if we live our life regardless of the Word that God is giving to us, only based on our thoughts and emotions, then our life will have no fruit. That’s because we are not the Creator; we are the creation. God is the Creator and He does His work through us, His creation. That’s in Genesis 1:27, that’s what it means to be created in the image of God; we are not God, we are created in His image.
Some people say, “Pastor, of course we’re not God,” but the way you live, you act as if you are. In everything, you are the center of your universe. That’s you, not being God but living as if you’re God, and everything in your life, you live for your benefit, but that’s not how it should be; we must follow God’s Word and everyone chases their own success to elevate their name, so the entire central focus of their life is to elevate and exalt their name. That’s not right. God’s glory must be revealed through me.
2. Branch that bears fruit
1) Vine – Branch
(1) I remain in Jesus (Jn. 15:5)
That’s why if you correctly understand and believe in this gospel, the fruit will be made naturally. That’s why we must remain within Jesus, within His Word.
(2) Jesus remains in me (Jn. 15:5)
The Lord remains in us as well, which means He is seated at the throne of heaven, but He sends us His Holy Spirit which teaches us His Word. That’s why you must receive Jesus’ Word well. First, we do have to receive Jesus’ Word through our brain very well, but after that, we must receive His Word through our spirit and our soul, because God will fulfill the Word that God gave to you, and as you continuously experience that, you will have more and more fruit, naturally.
(3) Bear much fruit (Jn. 15:5)
That’s what it says in Jn. 15:5, “If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit,” in other words, remain in Jesus’ words, in other words, listen to His Word, and the Lord is inside of me and He gives me His Word, so listen to the Word inside of me, and if you’ve received the Lord’s Word, then follow it, that’s the rule. If you go outside of the rules, there is no fruit; you’re cheating. But Satan will challenge you to not do that. The devil will enter in through any crevice to make you cheat, the devil will make you live however you want, regardless of God’s Word. Satan tells you things like, “We’re living in a free nation, why do you have to follow God’s Word? You should live according to what you value, however you want,” Satan loves people who think like that. And as evidence that Satan loves those people, they have a lot of mental problems, because the devil goes into those people, they have no choice but to suffer mentally. That’s why their entire lives are so hard because they live however they want to live. If we were the creator, that’d be fine, but we must live fully within Christ.
Paul confesses, “I can do all things through Him Who gives me strength,” in Phil. 4:13. The branch can only bear fruit if it remains connected to the vine, but if I live and think and live my life as if I am the vine myself, then that leads to mental problems. That’s called “mental division.” We must be able to concentrate and focus on God’s Word, but we’re not able to concentrate on His Word, and we live however we want, then we actually fall into a state of obsession. Instead of the Word of God controlling me and seizing me, I’m dragged around and controlled by the experiences I’ve had. The devil will take us to that point, but if you remain in that state of obsession, you’ll fall into addiction. This means that Satan has entered you. We can get any kind of thoughts, but if you let that thought remain, then the devil goes into you through that thought. Then, the devil makes you act on that thought. That’s why for people who kill other people, it doesn’t happen from out of nowhere, and for people who are addicted, it didn’t happen from out of nowhere. These are all of the results that follow the natural order that starts with not listening and concentrating on God’s Word.
Then, how can I restore everything? Just allow them to come back into the Word. If we go back into the Word, then the Lord will take care of, nourish, and replenish us. So for our walk of faith, as long as we remain within His Word, His grace, and His covenant, it should naturally work out over time. But if I’m a branch and I’m trying my best, I do everything I can within my effort, but there’s no fruit. All I need is God’s grace; I must remain attached to the vine, then everything will bear fruit.
2) Branch that doesn’t remain in Jesus
But there are branches that do not remain in Christ. That’s in Jn. 15:6, “Then you will be thrown away,” once they wither up. Then, people will gather these branches and throw them into the fire. If the word of God does not go into you, and instead, you continue living in your own thoughts, your divided mind, and your state of obsession, then Satan will go into you; that’s what it means to be thrown out and burned.
(1) Thrown away (Jn. 15:6, 1 Cor. 5:5, 1 Tim. 1:20)
1 Cor. 5:5 says that these people have already been given to Satan for the destruction of their flesh so that their spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord. So, for the people who live their lives regardless of God’s Word, only focused on the physical things, they will be handed over to Satan. But even though they have salvation, they’re handed over to the devil to be used physically, however he pleases. In 1 Tim. 1:20, it says that there are some who have been rejected, 1 Tim. 1:19 says some people have rejected their faith and in 1 Tim. 1:20, they are handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. So that means that the devil can do whatever he wants with the people who are handed over to him.
(2) Withers (Jn. 15:6)
They lived too centered on themselves; the Word of God did not go into them at all. Because of that, even though they received salvation, they are thrown away into the world, they dry up and wither. If you’re thrown out into the world, if you’re thrown into the fire, it means you’re trampled on by nonbelievers. Matthew 5 says you are the light and the salt of the world, but if the salt loses its saltiness, then it will be trampled on by people.
(3) Thrown into the fire (Jn. 15:6)
Then, why is worship so important? Because you may never be able to concentrate anywhere else, but at least here, you can concentrate on the spiritual Word of God. For people who can’t focus, they walk back and forth, and they go in and out, but you still have to worship, until you’re able to concentrate on God. If your mind is going back and forth, you can’t even work because right now, you’re wavering back and forth because of your thoughts and emotions, then of course, you can’t do anything else, so this time is actually your time of blessing. If you want to hear God’s Word accurately, then that state is a blessing.
3) Answers to prayer
(1 Remain in Jesus (Jn. 15:7)
In Jn. 15:7, Jesus says, “If you remain in Me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it shall be done for you.” He says, “Ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you,” but don’t focus so much on the end of the verse; focus on the beginning, “If My words remain in you,” that’s now, the time of worship, when the Word of God is established inside of me, then hold onto that Word and pray for anything, then God will fulfill it. This is such a guaranteed blessing, but why is it that we don’t get answers to our prayers? It is because we are cheating. We need to follow the rules of God, we need to pray following the Word that God is trying to give to me. If there are any people who are beginning their walk of faith anew, may you begin correctly.
(2) Jesus’ words remain in me (Jn. 15:7)
You need to first correctly understand and believe in the gospel. If you receive the gospel correctly, you will come to realize that, “I am not myself, but actually, the Lord is ruling my life,” then for those people, they follow after the Word that God gives to them and they pray for that, then they will just naturally bear fruit and have answers. But the problem is, there are people who go in the opposite direction. By God’s grace, they receive salvation, but they are still their own masters and they pray to get what they want, whatever they’ve planned. But God does not fulfill what we want, because the only thing we could ever desire are the things of earth, and the things that God desires are much better than that.
(3) Ask whatever and it will be done (Jn. 15:7)
What do religious people pray for? They pray, “God, solve this problem in my house, please. Please solve our financial problems, can You please protect and raise my children well? Can you please heal or fix this disease or illness?” The characteristic of religious people is that they pray very diligently with their strength for themselves, and because they are praying to the devil, they do receive answers, but that’s how people who believe in Jesus Christ pray as well, that’s why they don’t have any fruit and they don’t have answers. Until the Word of God remains in me. When we are spiritually young, we pray for the physical things and God gives them to us, just so that we can gain faith, and that’s what we do for little children, too, but if somebody is older, they’re fully grown and mature, but they’re still acting like they’re wearing diapers, is that right? They’re always asking to drink breast milk, is that appropriate? If somebody is a full-grown adult, there is something they must do, then we must seek that work. It’s the same thing. If you’re living a religious life, it means your faith is still very young. You’re saying, “God, can You just align yourself to me and give me what I want?” That’s what little children do, they cry and they throw fits so that everyone else adjusts to match them, and we do that because they’re young, but if someone is a full-grown adult and they’re demanding everybody to adjust themselves to meet them, nobody will do that for them. For this person, when they’re in their family, everybody needs to adjust to match them. When they go to their job, they need everyone to match them. That’s why they get fired.
However, if you accept Jesus Christ and time passes, then you must change to align with God’s Word. For the people who do that, they all receive answers. If your life has no answers and no fruit, there’s no doubt about it. You are young. Because your faith is still young, you still worry about what to wear and what to eat. Then, you’re not able to do anything great because you’re so young. Physically, you’re old, but spiritually, you’re like a young child, so even the way you pray, it’s like a little kid. But the more mature we become, the more we live our lives adjusting ourselves to align to God’s Word. Then, even as we live our walk of faith, somebody who is spiritually mature will be considerate of others and will adjust and yield to others, but the younger and more immature you are, the more you will demand everybody to adjust themselves to match you. Then, I hope you will realize, “Oh, that person is still young,” and because they’re so young, they have no choice but to receive the answers of a child. But, when we become spiritually mature, we adjust ourselves to match God’s Word, then you begin to receive answers that you could never even begin to imagine. This is what’s normal, and, am I inside of that kind of flow, or am I still a baby? I hope you will diagnose yourself and change yourself to align with God.
3. Person who glorifies God
In Jn. 15:8, it says, “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples.” If we bear a lot of fruit, then God receives glory. In other words, what does it mean to live for God’s glory? It means you are living your life to bear a lot of fruit. In other words, the disciple of Christ will bear a lot of fruit, why? Because the disciple is somebody who follows Jesus’ words. You must not follow your own stubbornness, you must not hold onto and follow your past experiences, you must follow God’s Word. The Word is God; when God created the heavens and the earth, He did not create it with His hands; He spoke His Word when there was nothing, and something was created. God’s Word is His promise, so when you hold onto that promise and pray, you will see things that are visibly revealed. This is our walk of faith.
1) Person who bears fruit
(1) 9 fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23)
Then who are the people who receive God’s fruit and give God glory? Gal. 5:22-23 says there is fruit of the Holy Spirit that is inside of us. The first three are regarding God; at the beginning, I didn’t love God, but now I love God more and more, I delight in God, I find peace in God, and now, regarding other people, I am more patient, I am more kind, I have more goodness with them. When it comes to the fruit of the Holy Spirit for myself, I’m no longer wavering back-and-forth; I become faithful and gentle, and I have self-control. This is how people naturally keep changing as they live their walk of faith. However, if you’re still not changing as a person, your faith is still young. Little children live by their stubbornness, by their emotions and feelings, and they have no ability to make the correct decisions. Then it’s such a headache. Especially if somebody is physically an adult, but they think and act like a child, then everyone around them will suffer.
(2) Fruits of saved souls
What else is the fruit of the Holy Spirit? 1 Peter 1:19 says that the fruit of our faith is the works of salvation. In other words, through me, the fruit of saved lives keeps arising. If the words of salvation are not taking place through you, then it means you’re still a child, and if you keep staying a child, it means you’re no longer useful. Then, God will just leave that person alone so that they will remain like a child and will be handed over to Satan. Then, in order to bear fruit, specifically what must we do?
(3) Those who meditate on the law day and night (Ps. 1:2-3)
Psalm 1:2-3 says, “Blessed is the one who delights in the law of the LORD.” We must delight in the law of the LORD. However, if you are delighted by the words of conmen and swindlers, then you’re going to spend your entire life chasing after these schemes and dying like that. If, for all of the young men and women out there, if you’re delighted by the words of your partner or your romantic interest, then your life will end like that. “I only have eyes for you,” that’s a lie. Your first must be the Lord, but especially women get so delighted over the words of conmen. If a man comes by, they treat you so well, they buy you everything you want, then it delights you, but you must not be delighted by that. You must give each other, back and forth, the Word. That is somebody who has the work of God. But a lot of people are cheated, they are so moved by the tiny, fake words, “because it makes me so happy and they said they’re going to help me to make money. They said if I make this investment, I’ll make so much money and I won’t even have to work for it. Oh, it makes my ears itch, I want to hear more.” What’s our standard? What is God’s Word? If you pray, God’s Word is given to you, therefore, “Blessed is the one who delights in the law of the LORD and meditates on it, day and night.”
What is “meditating”? We have received God’s Word, then you keep on thinking about it, again and again, and again. That’s meditation, when you think of meditating, think of a cow and how the cow eats its food; it first chews the food and goes down to one of its stomach, and then it brings that cud up again and re-chews it, and it has four different stomachs, and it keeps re-chewing the food to absorb nutrients. If you receive God’s Word, then you keep thinking about it, again and again, meditating, “What does this Word have to do with me?” The Word of God which seems so very hard and rigid at first, as I keep meditating on it and chewing it, it becomes soft and applied and melts into every area of my life. If you’re always thinking of and meditating on God’s Word, day and night, even while you work, thinking of God’s Word, then you will see God’s work being fulfilled through God’s Word. If you do that, then you will be like a tree that is planted by streams of water that will bear fruit in season.
So, what does it mean for us to be inside of Jesus Christ? It means that we continuously meditate on His Word, and as we just do that, in time, we just naturally bear fruit. I didn’t struggle and fight to bear fruit, but simply, God carried it out through me. Then, their leaves will not wither and everything they do will prosper. What does that word, “prosper,” mean? Prosperity is not about getting whatever I want, but prosperity is seeing that God’s Word and will is fulfilled.
2) Prayer that aligns with God
(1) God’s kingdom (Mt. 6:10,33)
In Gen. 39, Joseph was sent to Potiphar’s house as a slave, but God brought prosperity to Potiphar’s whole household. We call that, “success,” when God does His Work through us, that’s our success. If you are racing to accomplish your own ambitions and goals, that’s not true success; that’s fake success. But if you want to bear fruit, you must meditate on the law day and night, in other words somebody who prays a prayer that is aligned with God, because answers are given to us by God. That’s why Matthew 6:10, Jesus Christ taught us to pray for God’s Kingdom to be established on earth. This earth is controlled by the devil, and we must pray to establish God’s Kingdom here on earth. That is why we must first seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness; our first priority is not our studies or our job or career. If we really prioritize that, then everything you need physically in this world will be given to you as well, because if God’s Kingdom is established, then the works of God’s Kingdom take place visibly.
(2) Works of God’s kingdom (Ac. 1:3)
We are continuously praying for Hollywood, and we have been doing so. For multiple months, we’ve been going into the camp and analyzing it spiritually, and there are almost no churches there. When I see the field, it’s been completely destroyed, and even the church that used to be there, the cross blew away, and I think they actually relocated. And the only things happening and seeing revival in that area are things like Scientology, and things like meditation centers and Jewish synagogues. These are the things that are thriving in that area, and there are places that are called churches but they seem weird. I think a lot, “Is this the kind of church the Lord would want?” So, completely, the ruler of the kingdom of the air of darkness has completely demolished that area. For the individuals who don’t have any religion, Satan makes them become demon-possessed by doing transcendental meditation. It’s completely covered in regions with LGBTQ community, and that’s their freedom, but if God made you a boy, the normal reaction is to believe you’re a boy. If God made you a boy and you think, “I want to be a girl,” that’s abnormal. Why do you want to be a girl? “I just felt like I was a girl, ever since I was young.” We do not live according to our feelings; we live according to what God has given us. It’s not illegal in America, but it is illegal within God’s Word, and these are things that are all over that field, so God, we must do the gospel movement here.
And we found this temple there, so we were just praying, we were led there, and last week, on Tuesday, we received a response from the church building, and they want to sell the building, but they asked us four conditional questions: “If we sell this building to you, then can we continue to worshipping here by renting from you?” We said, “Of course,” and they said, “There are also some other churches and groups that are renting from us; can they continue their contract?” We said,” Of course.” They said, “Every Wednesday, we have a food bank where we can give food out for free, can we continue to do community outreach?” We said, “Of course,” and then finally, they said, “We also rent out the building to 12 other organizations that are not churches, can they continue to operate here?” We said, “Of course,” even churches that accept homosexuality, of course, why? Because they need the gospel, every program, of course they can come, because through those programs, we’ll evangelize the gospel. So, if you have and hold onto only the gospel, we can overcome and transcend all things.
(3) Works of the Holy Spirit – Evil spirits flee (Mt. 12:28-29)
The price, we’ll talk about later, but even that will be done by God. Because this is a work that God began, God will carry out His Work according to His method. Even if they put the building up for sale, nobody is trying to buy it, so it’s just perfect for us, only. In a little bit, we’ll receive a response, so please be in prayer, and even if you give offering, you must give it in faith. That’s how God will bless your economy of finances when God is carrying out His work. God says, “You will remain in houses that you did not build, and you will eat from vineyards that you did not plant,” amen? It is not fulfilled by your own efforts but God will reveal the great and unsearchable things when you call out to Him. But nobody is doing the Christ movement, even if they talk about Jesus Christ, it’s all just part of a religion. On this earth, only Christ must be testified for the darkness and disasters to flee. But the Christ that churches are proclaiming is not only Christ, they say, “I need Christ, but I also need money, I also need this and that,” that’s why the devil is not cast aside. Matthew 12:28 says that only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the demons will be cast out and the kingdom of God will be established.
3) Prayer that enjoys the power of the throne
(1 Filling of the Holy Spirit (Ac. 1:8)
For multiple months, I’ve been going to the Hollywood field and church every single day, and God has opened up my spiritual eyes and given me many answers. As I pray to proclaim the gospel in that region, God continues to reveal unsearchable and great mysteries of the Bible, we must do this according to the biblical words of the Bible. If you just talk about meditation or these other methods, you’re not going to heal. Mark 16 says, “And these signs accompanied those who believed. They placed their hands on the sick, and those who were sick were healed, and those who were demon-possessed got better.” We need the help of doctors and medicine, but the spiritual problems cannot be healed by that alone. People say that they’ve cured or treated their addictions, and I’m sorry to tell you this, but the problem is still there, it’s just going to look a little different now. People who used to be addicted to gaming say they’re no longer addicted, but that problem will be revealed in a different way, now; it’s just that we’re changing our outfit. Fundamentally, the gospel of Christ must go in.
Next, the prayer that God desires is the prayer that enjoys the power of the throne of heaven. We do not have the strength to do this ourselves, that’s why we need to pray to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. When you receive the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power and authority. Then, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ, and that power will be given to you; then, you will overcome all things. Instead of chasing after money, the money will follow you. First, seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these things will be given to you as well; Jesus promised. If you’re lacking wisdom, then God promises to give you wisdom with His power as well. If you’re lacking physical strength, then God will use His strength to restore your physical power as well. In the beginning, Elijah was trying to carry out God’s mission with his own strength, but later on, he fell into his limitations, but when God’s power came upon him, He was able to run for 40 days and nights without sleeping, why? Because he is saying, “I have left behind the disciples, the remnants, the 7000 people who have not bowed their knee to Baal.”
(2) Power
Why does God give you power? Because inside of the field of Hollywood and inside of the field of America, there are people prepared there who will block the age of disasters and Satan, that’s why God gives us power, and my job and business receive that power. I hope you will pray, asking God, “How can I proclaim this correct, accurate gospel to everyone I know?” And for the people who are receiving this Word in your hearts, as you pray for this Word, you will receive evidence, and the evidence will even gather in your businesses and job.
(3) Witness to the ends of the earth
Your business and job and God’s Word are not separate. Your business and job are actually used and follow the fulfillment of God’s Word, then you’ll come to realize what I mean later. That’s how you’ll become a witness of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
Conclusion
1. Word of the covenant in me
We’ll come to a conclusion. We must remain within the Word of God’s covenant, we must follow that Word, and we must meditate on that Word, day and night.
2. Pray following God’s word
That’s prayer, then, you will automatically bear fruit, and instead of trying to pray to solve your problems, they will naturally go away. Your scars, mental problems, spiritual problems, they’ll go away on their own.
3. Life that bears fruit
Now my life has completely changed so that I am somebody who helps and saves others. May you bear these fruits throughout the week.
Message Prayer
Let us pray together holding onto the Word that we have each all together and personally received.
Offering Prayer and Newcomer Blessing
God, we thank You. We have returned Your materials as offering. We pray that You will bless the hands that have given the offering with the economy of blessing, may You give the economy to do world evangelization to the hands that have given Missions offering. May you give the economy of blessing to save the future into the hands that have given the future generations offering, and we believe You will show us the works that give us faith that all of our material possessions have come from God. We pray this in the name of our living Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
