Vines, Branches and Fruit
John 15:1-6 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Jesus, being the vine, is the servant of his Father's house, which the religious have turned into a 'Den of thieves'. Below is a prophecy about Jesus coming to the Earth (The Holy One), and John the Baptist (The Watcher) Also alluded, is their execution, and that they'll be used by the religious for their own ends. (Band of brass and Iron, aka tied to religious doctrine and tradition, similar how people are enslaved to doctrine)
Daniel 4:10-15 Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great. The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth: (That is about the knowledge of the 'Kingdom' spreading throughout the earth, cultivated by the husbandman) The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: (Jesus brought the good news for all to eat) the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it. I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven; He cried aloud, (John the Baptist in the wilderness) and said thus, Hew down the tree, (Jesus crucifixion) and cut off his branches, (The killing of the Apostles) shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: (Hide the truth meaning of his teachings, the 'Mystery of the Gospel') let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches: (They'll run after religion and the doctrines of men instead) Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, (The Church) in the tender grass of the field; (The world, and the minds of men) and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, (The word of God) and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth: (The Religious who have hijacked the scriptures via the Church)
Yes, the prophecy is also about King Nebuchadnezzar, but again, the things written by the prophets in Old Testament are a shadow of the true, but not the very image of them.
John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
These beasts of the earth have spoilt the land, planting bad seeds amongst the good, and thus what Jesus taught, his wheat, is amongst the tares of religious indoctrination.
Psalm 78:45-50 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost. He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
Like locusts, theses messengers of religion (The Evil Angels) they destroy the fruit of the land, with their religious doctrine. They're the pestilence that causes a famine to the spirit, that third part of man.
Revelation 9:3-4 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, (doctrine) as the scorpions of the earth have power. (infect with lies) And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. (Meaning those who haven't been sealed with the knowledge of the spirit)
They're also those locusts that harm the mind's of men, and not the literal land as said above.
Revelation 9:18-19 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire (Judaism), and by the smoke (Christianity), and by the brimstone (Islam), which issued out of their mouths. (In their Synagogues, Churches and Mosques) For their power is in their mouth, (Rabbis, Priests, Bishops, Vicars, Imams, Xenu devotees) and in their tails: (Lies) for their tails were like unto serpents ,(Deceitful) and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
See what religion has wrought upon the Earth, now and throughout history (They'd like us to forget the past), imagine what it has done to the spirit of man in the process.
Isaiah 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
They have stripped it bare from the true knowledge of God, spiritually killing that third part of man, because they follow after their own thoughts, rich in their own knowledge and understanding.
Job 24:18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
However, it is not forever, branches will shoot forth, and put forth leaves and the fruit thereof shall be turned to the wine of truth, that all may drink thereof.
Joel 2:21-29 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, (meaning the knowledge of the 'Kingdom') the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
As said, the Father is the husbandman and Jesus is the vine, and the branches are they who reside in the vine, and are quickened in the spirit, when they reside in the vine and turn to the Father (Worshipping him in the spirit, thirsting after his righteousness).
Psalm 80:14-18 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
Another prophecy about Jesus, King Herod killing children, Jesus leaving Egypt. The feeding of the five thousand (With Two fish, Quails and fives loaves of bread) the 'Rock of Revelation', which is the knowledge from God's spirit (Waters). Keep in mind that those miracles of the flesh, are also parables about the spirit.
Psalm 105:36-43 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. (Knowledge of God) He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; (Taught his disciples about how to receive that 'Rock of Revelation' off the 'Father') they ran in the dry places like a river. (Which puts an end to the famine in the land, think renewing the mind) For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: (His disciples in this case)
And as stated many times, all flesh shall see salvation.
Micah 4:4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it.
But not all at once, since most love this world and the things therein. Which why you get a certain type of people obsessed with earthly events, politics, news, sport and celebrities or even what your pastor has to say this week. That's not to say don't take an interest in things or people. But if people getting to the point where they're falling out with people over things that are not of themselves, then there's a clear problem with priorities.
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
So the ones who turn to the Father first, and seek after his understanding, will be the first to be redeemed, and the rest will be the last to be redeemed.
Matthew 19:29-30 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
The core theme of all of scripture, is that we need to be made righteous again, so that we can be raised up out of the flesh on our last day in it. Since we need to be fit for Heaven for that to happen, righteous in mind, so that we think no evil at all.
Romans 5:2-5 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
The trials that come from the soul once that 'Great Tribulation' begins are what helps produce that new man. (Jesus had his in the wilderness when tempted by his own heart, aka the devil)
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Because the soul will fight for its survival until it has nothing in us, and that fight against the 'Prince of this world' is that battle of 'Armageddon'. Which religious people especially seem to look forward to, because they believe it alludes to some physical battle on the earth.
Amos 5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light.
How people crave war. Such people will stuck in the darkness and not see the light.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
Much like that thief in the night, who as written, sole goal was to see those that followed him, be washed in white,
Revelation 7:13-14 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (To say, made themselves righteous by applying what Jesus taught)
You can't claim to know God if you don't share some of the same characteristics, and it is the 'Father' that bestows them upon the mind that thirsts after them. It is his gift, it is not developed by the way of man. Otherwise God wouldn't be needed at all.
Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
People confuse morality with righteousness, anyone can be moral. It was moral 40,000 years ago to cave a man's head in for a piece of meat to feed his family, and even today, they're many justifications and rationalisations for war and violence, especially if God is bandied about.
Luke 6:36-37 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
So we all need that free gift off the 'Father' so that we also judge no person at all, since being righteous, also means having all understanding of good and evil, instead of serving good and evil, eating the fruit of that corrupt tree of deceit.
Psalm 145:9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
(Key to note; The prophecies of the Old Testament are also about what Jesus would teach about his 'Father'. Because as I've mentioned before, the Lord was crooked before was made straight as Jesus)
Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
The Father is the all good, so we must seek the source of good, which is the baptism of our spirit by the 'Father', enabling us to eat from the tree of life.
Proverbs 11:27-28 He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.
And the task of the righteous is to bare much fruit, replenishing the Earth in righteousness. But like all crops, these things take time.
Isaiah 11:1-3 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him (Jesus was the Lord God in the flesh), the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Jesus, as he said himself, is the true vine, and those that follow after his teachings are the branches, that bare much fruit. That is what makes a person an Apostle of Jesus. One who learnt of, and been taught and corrected by the Father.
Isaiah 11:4-5 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Faith in the Father is what leads us to righteousness, since by faith people will turn to him, and be taught righteousness by him.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
That is the knowledge of the truth, which teaches the poor in the knowledge of the spirit, and corrects and directs those who are meek in mind to the kingdom and the knowledge of the Father
Psalm 25:9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.
The Father's judgement is the truth. Earthly judgement is of man, and has its basis in ignorance and evil, and such will reap what they sow. Which is generally the law in the flesh anyway, and yes it can span over a few lifetimes.
1 Corinthians 2:15-16 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.
The Father's truth reveals the wickedness within our own hearts, and that is the judgement, the judgement in righteousness, because it leads to correction, to the spirit being straightened.
Philippians 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
The knowledge of righteousness allows us to overcome the wickedness of this world, specifically of our own hearts, which condemn us if given the chance.
1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
Or as said above, allows us to slay the wicked nature of our heart, with the truth that comes from the spirit., that knows God.
Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
The righteousness of God is the strength of his word that renews our spirit, and faith will keep us on the path of the spirit, a spirit that is continuously focused on the Father, and not on the works of wickedness of this world.
1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
Abide in the vine, as the vine is tended to by the Father, and the branches will bare much fruit to give others to eat. Be fruitful and multiply in righteousness. That is the lesson of the spirit, and that is the 'Will of God'.
Isaiah 60:21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Glorify your Father in Heaven by baring much fruit, and he in turn will glorify you in Heaven, unlike those who call themselves religious or spiritual, who wish to be glorified by their peers in the earth, calling themselves prophets and prophetess in their corrupt churches, committing adultery against God of Heaven.
Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: (Like being conditioned by religion for example, hence why it is all important to 'Possess ye your own soul') But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Most hearts are focused solely on the things of this world, so it needs to be made clean, circumcised in the spirit, so that it no longer eats its unclean food. (Do you see the use of the shadow of the true there?)
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
So do people want their works to be of the earth, which will rust and decay regardless, or do people want their works to be of Heaven, which will never decay and last forever? As Jesus said below;
John 15:7-16 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
So, turn to the Father within and ask, knock, and the door will be opened to you, a door that no one can shut. And as the 'Father' tended to Jesus, the works of Jesus will tend to all the people who simply follow what he taught. Not what the world's books and films taught people about Jesus.
