Subject: Be Connected


Gal 5 22 list all the fruits of the spirit, Romans 7 15 says, the things that I want to do, and things that I kno I shouldn't do, I turn around and do it, Gods answer to this is stay connected. We might LOOK like we are connected but we actually aren't. Some times are phn calls to God "lose service". John 15 states, "I AM... the true vine" all throughout John Jesus makes 7 statements of who He is... He is tryna tell us that He is the same One who delivered Moses. Verse one states He is the vine and God is the gardener, God cuts off any branch that doesn't produce fruit. You might look connected to the vine, but if u do not bear fruit, u will be "disconnected" from the vine. Just because ur by the vine doesn't mean ur OF the vine. Judas is a perfect example, He was right by Jesus but NEVER connected to the vine.

Matthew 7 16 advises u that u can't identify a vine by their outer appearance, a good tree can only bear good fruit. So u are the fruit that you bear, and if u bear bad fruit, u will be chopped down and thrown in the fire. Verse 22 states about people who will try to use their works to get in the kingdom of God. But if ur not connected, God will cast u away and tell u that He never knew u. Matthew 13 24 - 29 is the parable of the fruits and the weeds. Its states don't try to judge someone thinkin that they are weeds, u might actually pull up a true fruit doing this. We don't kno who is of God, only God knows, so do not try to judge.

1 John 2 19 states that if someone leaves then they were never of us.. People will show their true fruits. So Gods people will show their true selves. Its not for us to worry about it. God will take care of the fruit. Once again, bc God is the Gardener and he will prune us. When He prunes us, he will cut away sin and other things that might stop our growth. He will cut off the dead leaves. Dead leaves will be things in your life that ur spending too much energy on that will never bear fruit. God will cut off those things and people in your life that ur wasting your time on. God also has to kill the insects in your life. Insects don't live on the plant. They just come when they want something, take from the plant and go on their way.. We can't allow the insects to take away from our fruit. Sometimes God has to pluck some insects out of our lives. God will refuse to let His fruits be eaten away.

Hebrew 12 3-8 states that He might pluck the bug off of us, and whoop us for allowing the bugs to come back. Bc God will correct those whom He loves. If u don't get whopped when your doing wrong, then you aren't His. God also will remove all parasites. Parasites will live on, with or in you and will give u anything good in return. Parasites will kill your energy and will change you from the person you were. Sometimes we can't notices our parasites bc WE might be a parasite.

How to get connected : John 15 4.. States u must ABIDE in God words, u must stay around God. You must read His word. Psalms 1 states that a righteous person who can't sit in the company of sin MUST meditate and read day and night. Also, you must always PRAY and not just over meals, or on the run. God desires that we get into a private place and spend quality time to pray. Don't just pray for others, pray for urselves for growth in your relationship with GOD. We also need to have a fellowship. We need to connect with people who are connected. Hanging with people who aren't connected will not be able to help you with your connection with God. That's the blind leading the blind. If you hang with the right people, they might be able to bring you out of the trenches. John 15 7 states that if u abide in Him and His Word shall abide in you, whatever u ask for, you WILL get. Bc if u are abiding, you will not ask for nothing outside of His will. If u need something, abide, and when u abide, just ask and u will receive
