I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.” The idea here is that once a character trait of Christ has come to fruition in the life of a believer it should remain […]

Coming to Know the Vine Keeper

Ok, You may think I’m unaware that many times my teaching builds on multiple themes simultaneously but I’m not…it’s just the way my mind works. I’ve tried to simplify my thoughts, but when I go back over my notes to do so, I wind up lengthening them. For example, I started out with this message last week, and in a few hours I had 31 pages of notes which […]
