[00:00:01] Good morning. Good morning. How are you on this fine, fine, beautiful day? I hope you're having a great day today, and I hope you are excited today, because today is the day the Lord hath made. We will be glad. We will rejoice in it. Rejoice in every single moment that you have the sun in this cosmos and this arrangement. Be thankful. Be happy. Continually give God that sacrifice. Praise. Praise God and thank him.
[00:00:24] Be joyful. It's been a. It's been a wild week. I'm a little bit out of it, but my brother is good. So for everybody who prayed, thank you. We do appreciate that as a family.
[00:00:36] Just kind of a miracle. There's kind of a couple things that happened that were a miracle. So I'm just very, very grateful for that. And it puts life in perspective, let me tell you. You know, we go through life and it's so quick, and it's. You're not guaranteed tomorrow.
[00:00:51] If you have family or kids or a wife or husband or whatever.
[00:00:57] Take that. Take those times. There's nothing better than to eat and to drink and to make your soul enjoy the good of your labor. Enjoy every moment that you have. Because once you don't have health, boy.
[00:01:08] Changes everything.
[00:01:09] I'm going to read. I'm going to go over John, chapter 15 today. We'll see how long. Like I said, I'm kind of out of it, so we'll see what we get here.
[00:01:17] Go to chapter 15, verse 1. It says, I am the true vine.
[00:01:21] My father is the husbandman or the husbandman or. Or a cultivator or farmer. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he raiseth away or he taketh up. And every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth or purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. I've talked about this in the past.
[00:01:41] We had a grapevine, and it didn't do well at all. And it was right next to this pergola. But it didn't really do anything. It wasn't until it was raised off the ground and attached to that pergola. All of a sudden, that thing grew like six feet in four or five months. I mean, it's crazy. God will raise up. It's not like he removes every branch that doesn't bear fruit. He raises it up in order that it sits on something in order to grow.
[00:02:11] He is going to help you in all situations. And those that do bear fruit, it's not going to end. He's going to just like you clip off the bad leaves. I have this plan, I don't know if they're called money plants or what, but every single time I see a bad leaf, I just take that leaf off so that it can continue to grow and not waste its energy on this, this low bearing fruit. It's the same thing. God is going to continually work on you and continually work in your life to get you to a point where you're true, where you truly have faith, you truly believe that which you hear. That's what faith means.
[00:02:46] Verse 3. Now ye are clean throughout or on, on account of the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, I also remain 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. Again, this is when Christ was talking about his words. It was a little bit different. He's the Messiah, he came for us.
[00:03:11] And there's just such a difference between the old testimony. He came to fulfill the law, he fulfilled that law for us. And the words that he spoke were the words of the new covenant. The covenant. I mean, God was gonna, is gonna be a God to us and to his seed in their time. But he broke down the middle wall of the partition that God would be a God to everyone instead of just the Judeans.
[00:03:34] And we have that access to God. And it's all because of Christ Jesus.
[00:03:39] Verse Verse 6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered. And men, they gather them and they cast them into the fire and they are burned. If ye abide in me and my words abide in you. Ask what you will or ye wish, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified. In order that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be my disciples.
[00:04:05] It is a, it is a glory to God to give you the things that you ask for.
[00:04:10] He is going to take care of you in all ways. And I just love the fact that, I mean again, before the Judeans, if they, you know, just because they were Judeans, they were part of the family of God. But Christ came in order that everybody has the access. But it's through believing in his name. And even if you are Judean and you don't believe, you're going through the judgment and that's what the words of Christ represented. That's what he was explaining to them. If you jump down to verse 16, I love this.
[00:04:40] Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and ordained or placed you that ye should go and Bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain. And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you again. This is why it's so important to understand the word. You don't pray to God or you don't pray to Jesus Christ. It doesn't say pray to Jesus Christ. It says pray to God, lifting it up in the name of Jesus Christ. These are the words of Christ.
[00:05:14] You have to understand that like the Bible is specific, the New Testament is written in the most specific language that's ever existed. It's ancient Greek. The words are specific. It's not up to man's interpretation. There's one truth, and we are to be workman's of the word in order to get to that single truth.
[00:05:34] And that's what's so beautiful. You pray to God. You lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. He. You didn't choose him, he chose you. God chose you from the foundations of the world. He knew you. He knows every hair on your head. Seek ye first the kingdom of God and these things shall be added unto you. You seek God every single day and good things are gonna happen. He's gonna work with you. He's gonna. You're gonna bear fruit. Believe me, if you can't, he's gonna lift you up in order that you do.
[00:06:04] Have a beautiful day today. Pray the big prayers lift everything up in the name of Jesus Christ again. When you pray, you always pray to God, never to Jesus Christ.
[00:06:11] You pray to God. That verse exposes that. You pray to God, you lift it up in the name of Jesus Christ. Have a great day. God bless you and your family. And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
[00:06:31] Well, Heavenly Father, thank you so much just for the miracle of yesterday. I thank you for again, just. I'm just very grateful to have my brother around and that he's. That there's no problems. I'm very, very, very, very, very thankful for that, Father. I thank you for the people that you put in my life. I thank you for each and every one of them. I pray for our businesses always, that they continually grow and that we can continue to have great people around us and take care of whatever we can on our end. I thank you for the people that received the product that we, that we build and that you bless them. And I just thank you so much for your word and for your son and what he did for us so we can live this way. And I just pray for.
[00:07:11] Just. Everybody's family is going through stuff and I lift up a great day to you. In the name of Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
