Bear Fruit and Multiply

Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply." Genesis 1

Abide in me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in ME. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in ME and I in him, will bear much fruit, apart from ME you can do nothing. John 15

"If you abide in MY word, you are truly MY disciples" John 8

The fruit of the SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control. Those who Belong to JESUS have crucified there flesh with its passions and desires.

*NEWS FLASH* I suck, I can't do anything apart from GOD. If I try I soon find out that I am a withered branch destined to be throne into the fire. Even on my best of days, without GOD I can do nothing.

There is beauty from ashes, and resurection power promised for those who have crucified there thoughts, passions, dreams and desires. It is only then, completly surrendered that CHRIST will take HIS rightful position upon the throne of our heart. HE is KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS, he will not share his rightful dominion. Joel says tear your hearts, Hosea says break up your follow ground. Jesus said good soil of the heart will produce abundant fruit.

If you want to be used of, and by God, HE will only you to the degree you are willing to pick up your cross and follow HIM. His eyes go about the earth looking for those fully commited to HIM, full hearted abbandoned. The good news is HIS Grace. If it is your desire and you believe, HE will take you by your hand, and lead you to calvery. Don't kick, don't scream, it will be painful, but he was like a lamb lead to the slaughter. When we die, the promise of HIS life possessing our innerbeings is being made manifest.

SO may you die the most horrendous and violent death, but be resurected to life and power. May the nature of JESUS CHRIST be cultivated in you. May GOD grip your heart and revive your first love. May we all fall so in love with JESES we weep and fall prostrate at the mention of his name. If we allow GOD to grip us, we will Bear much Fruit, Then and only then shall we multiply.

Revival is not an option, with fear and trembling I beseech THEE, revive my heart... Florishing like the garden of Eden.

For the LORD will comfort Zion,

He will comfort all her waste places;

He will make her wilderness like Eden,

And her desert like the garden of the LORD;

Joy and gladness will be found in it,

Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.
