ABIDING
7/7/24 susan allen
ARE YOU a BELIEVER or an ABIDER?
John 15:1-12 NKJV "I am the true vine, (if there is a true vine there are false vines)
and My Father is the vinedresser. (Gardener, husbandman-God doesn’t mind the process, this is not an angry process)
2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 (NOW-kjv) You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. (Eph 5:26)
4 Abide in Me, and I in you. (REMAIN) As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in Me, (disconnects) he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
9 "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
11 "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
-You can’t talk about growth without talking about PRUNING
--He prunes you because He sees what He can produce
--- HE BELIEVES IT IS WORTH HIS TIME AND EFFORT (Eph 4 gave gifts to you apostles prophets evangelists pastors teachers for the perfecting of the saints)
----THERE are facets of Himself that he wants to RELEASE to FLOW through YOU
-----This is your purpose and you will never be FULFILLED disconnected from your LIFE SOURCE
Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being
WHAT/WHO IS YOUR VINE? What is the fruit of that connection?
What you are producing or not producing is from CONNECTION
Ps 119:37-38 NLT Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word. 38 Reassure me of your promise, made to those who fear you.
Ps 139:23- NLT Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

His WILL IS WRITTEN. Mark 9:21-NKJV So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him? "And he said, "From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." 23 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Believe: have faith, know it to be true, be persuaded of, place your confidence in, trust, entrust, to the point of committing) 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" 2 Peter 1:2-4 kjv Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises (self commital) : that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. Gen 17:1-NKJV When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless (upright and sincere) . 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. Rom 4:17-KJV (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become (begin to be, receive being, cause to be, come into being) the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not (did not observe fully) his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:20 He staggered not (did not separate from, withdraw from, oppose or hesitate) at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong (empowered) in faith, giving glory to God;21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Heb 11:1 AMP NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Rom 10:13-NKJV 13 For "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!" 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?" 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
