Untitled Sermon (7)

You are made in his image and likeness with a unique identity that is a gift to the world . There is no one on earth like you and there will never be a other you so why not live FREE and ALIVE in your TRUE SLEF ? - Clyde Lewis

The gates of hell cannot stand against you moving in your identity ,but if you take one step outside your identity the enemy will destroy you

John 15 ““I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 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. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 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. “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. 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. But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father. “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. When you obey m…”

““I am a true sprouting vine, and the farmer who tends the vine is my Father. He cares for the branches connected to me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest. So you must remain in life-union with me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to mine. “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father! “I love each of you with the same love that the Father loves me. You must continually let my love nourish your hearts. If you keep my commands, you will live in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by his love. My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness! “So this is my command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have loved you. For the greatest love of all is a love that sacrifices all. And this great love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends. “You show that you are my intimate friends when you obey all that I command you. I have never called you ‘servants,’ because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you my most intimate and cherished friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from my Father. You didn’t choose me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of my Father, for my sake, he will give it to you! So this is my parting command: Love one another deeply!””

you have a choice to insync with the true vine or out of sync with the true vine

definition : Sync, short for "synchronize," is a verb that means making things work together. It can refer to moving your mouth to exactly match someone else's words (lip-syncing) or working well together and being in agreement with something or someone else.

If you have any further questions or need more information, please let me know!

When we are in sync with the father we produce much fruit ....... the moment we are not in sync with the father we are fruit less .

What make a person produce fruit remaining ( abiding in him from your true self )

When person dose not abid in him ( no fruit this from the false self )

You're right, there is an interesting connection between the words "clean" and "pruned" in the Greek!

In John 15:2-3, when Jesus says "Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you."

The Greek word used for "prunes" is kathairei, from the root word katharos.

The Greek word used for "clean" is katharoi, also derived from katharos.

So Jesus uses the same root word katharos to refer to pruning branches and the disciples being made clean. The basic meaning has to do with making something pure, cleansed, or rid of impurities.

Pruning removes dead branches and leaves to make a plant more fruitful and healthy. Jesus "prunes" disciples by teaching them to remove sin from their lives, so they can bear spiritual fruit.

His teaching "cleans" them by removing impurity and purifying their hearts and minds. Being "clean" comes from abiding in Christ and allowing Him to cut away moral and spiritual impurities.

So in summary, yes the Greek root katharos connects the ideas of pruning and cleansing plants and people! An interesting bit of wordplay by Jesus to illustrate a deeper spiritual truth.

The perception of your identity is not always the truth and the thuth about your identity is not always your perception

2.Separateness produces powerlessness Vs 5

Rom 8:38 “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”

The question is, do we really believe what this passage says in Romans?

A. when you are afraid which produces fear you begin to separate and isolate and you cannot experienced the true love of Christ because fear is taking control.

B. God never brings separation he only brings reconciliation and we have to trust him.

C. the enemy is so good at producing deep levels of fear within us... That's why we have to ask God what do I really believe about you
