“I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches.  As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask  whatever you desire and it will be done. When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father!” John 15:5-8 TPT

Just continuing on from yesterday. In this set of verses, Jesus talks about how powerless we become when we live our lives separated from Him. He tells us how important it is to live in union with Him as our source. It’s out of this inner source that we see results to our prayers.

Jesus was fully convinced that God’s Word was alive and powerful, always at work in Him to bring to pass the things He spoke. It’s that agreement with the living Word, powerfully working in us, that causes what we say to come to pass.

I want to live that kind of life. Fully persuaded that He who began a good work in me, is faithful to complete it. He never leave anything 1/2 done–it would be us that gives up and quits along the way.

May my life bring glory to my Father.
