Pruning

"You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me."

JOHN 15:3-4

The Lord will crush and suffocate all impurities from your life. To walk with the Lord is to be righteous before the Lord. It is to consecrate yourselves - your temples into all that which is pleasing to the most high God. When Jesus has you - he never let’s go - for he has what he came for - your spirit - your essence - your eternity.

Jesus will never let you go, ever. God so loves the world - he sent his only begotten son - such that -with belief in him - you may not perish - but also be given eternal life.

God is the planter, and we are the plant. He shapes us and prunes our ways such he may boldly declare we are his. He places us specifically where he wants to be to be made perfect for him for the purpose he has prepared in advance for us to achieve. We have no power to train ourselves - but rather we must be broken bread and spilled out wine for the Lord to make us his. 

“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” 1 John 1:9

“He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.” Ephesians 1:7

“For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him.” Romans 8:29-30
