John 15 – Yeshua the True Vine

It is quite simple. Yeshua is the vine, we are the branches. The Father cuts off every branch that doesn’t produce fruit and prunes branches that does not bear much fruit so they will bear even more. We are to remain in Yeshua and to love one another as Yeshua loved us. We are chosen. The world will hate you because they hated God - John 15:18 “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.” You will be persecuted. Yeshua was persecuted. The enemy will attack you but don’t be despondent.Your trials and tribulations are also part of your pruning process. Your faith and trust in God will see you through. When Yeshua ascended to heaven The Holy Spirit was given to us, to teach and guide us. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth (Advocate). He directs us and testifies all about Yeshua. We have the Holy Spirit, let God fight your battles (sickness, disease, poverty, anger, hatred, envy, pride, bitterness – whatever troubles you). Do not take matters into your own hands, surrender it all to Yeshua. The Lord of Peace will be with you through it all.

We want to be the branch that produces fruit all the time. The Lord has equipped us with his love, the Holy Spirit and the Word. Meditate on the word of God. It opens your eyes to the kingdom of God. You will receive revelation and experience an anointing in your life like never before.

Jesus, the True Vine

15 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 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.

5 “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned. 7 But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! 8 When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! 12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. 16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name. 17 This is my command: Love each other.
