Full Version: Have You Ever Noticed An Apple Tree?

John chapter 15 teaches us that Yeshua is the true vine, the Father is our gardener . As we abide in the vine,..we yield to 'the life sap' the Holy Spirit, fruit becomes automatic in our lives. What we yield to we become. Have you ever noticed a apple tree try to grunt up some fruit? No,..It automatically produces apples because that is what it was created to do! Our lives produce what we are yielding too.



I am the true Vine, and my Father is the Gardener. I lop off every branch that doesn't produce. And I prune those branches that bear fruit for even larger crops. I have already tended you by pruning you back for greater usefulness by means of the commands I gave you. Take care to live in me and me live in you. For a branch can't produce fruit when severed from the Vine. Nor can you be fruitful apart from me.

THE FRUITS CLOTHE US.
-wear shoes that are able to speed you on as you preach the good news of peace with God
- the fruits of His spirit are gentleness, kindness, self-control. We take off the old man and put on the new man. We are covered over with a robe of righteousness.
-"Why do you think when there is simply a 'lull' in your reception of things – that I have left? I AM WITH YOU…I NEVER LEAVE YOU. You are the apple of My eye. I am surrounding you. I am the ever-living God, and the One that surrounds. You are not by yourself. I simply give you times of rest, during which time the 'fire' lifts for a moment then comes back again,


WE ARE THE VERY APPLE OF HIS EYE. We are guided by His eye.
QUOTE

As in the days of Moses and Joshua, you have come to the border of the promised land (SURROUNDED BY RAINBOWS). One day Moses called Joshua to an important meeting. "God has told me that my work here on earth is almost finished, Joshua, a new leader will take our people into the promised land. A new leader? Oh, No, Moses. Who could ever take your place? You Joshua!"

The aged leader climbs Mount Nebo and gazes down on the land God has promised His people--and there--alone with God---He dies.

Back in camp, Joshua prays to God for help, and the Lord answers; Be not afraid, for the Lord thy God is with thee.

The Israelites mourn thirty days for Moses. Then Joshua calls a meeting.

The campaigns ahead will be hard and dangerous. But I'll seek God's guidance in everything we do -- in every step.

My modern day Joshua's, those with the Joshua spirit will SEE what is coming as I SEE what is coming. It is as:
YOU
GET
INTO
ME
FULLY .......YOU CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE WHAT I SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I will be there to GUIDE you thru the dark times ahead.

May I have this dance? Take your EYES and turn your EYES fully....fully....fully upon Me and look into My face....and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the lite of My Glory and grace. sEE what I sEE. >>>>>hERE we go...step-by-step and with each passing moment...
look
SEE
behold
I make all things NEW. There is peace in the valley as My kingdom comes into VIEW.


If I were to pass around a luscious bowl of fresh good fruit laced with a few bad apples, which fruit would you pick? The good or the bad? Likewise, as you walk down the road today, what fruit can we pick from your tree? Joy? Peace? Love? We shall know them by their fruits.

My darling bride: you are like a private garden, a spring that no one else can have, a fountain of my own. You are like a lovely orchard bearing prescious fruit. I come into my garden and eat its choicest fruits.

Rev. l4 Then an angel came from the temple and called out to him, "begin to use the sickle, for the time has come for you to reap the harvest is ripe on the earth...so the harvest was gathered in.

So, all day long today, let's eat the fruit from the tree of life. Life, life, life - abundant life. Jesus alone is the giver. Let love rule your day. For those who are spiritually barren are in danger, for I will not have an unfruitful tree in my garden.

.......will you love even as I have loved? You will have my companionship, my strength, my gentleness and forbearance. As you give away the toys of the senses, you will get the wealth of my Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness..........everyday with me is sweeter than the day before.

Do not be afraid! You do not know what tomorrow brings, but you can know that I will unfold your days and give you the wisdom to walk through them. I will keep you as the apple of My eye and hide you under the shadow of My wings. Trust Me to direct your steps and give you the strength to overcome every obstacle. More than ever this is a time to make Me your partner in life, says the Lord.



Come in close to the One who loves you and cares for you as one cares for the pupil of the eye. Snuggle up close today next to the warmth of My heart and under My wings. Did I not deliver My children, your spiritual ancestors, as on the back of eagles? Today I am the same God and have not changed. You are indeed precious, so precious, to My heart. My delight is in You and you bring Me great joy. Yes, I rejoice and sing over you every day of your life. Never, never feel that you are abandoned by Me for I will never leave you. Let us make of this day a day of intimate fellowship together. Come in close to the One who loves you and cares for you as one cares for the pupil of the eye.
Psalm 17:8 "Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of Thy wings."

I am doing a very present work of regeneration. Old things will indeed come to pass and new things will come forth. The key word for this time is resurrection power, for you will have unprecedented opportunities to be resurrected into greater spiritual life. Your dependence on the world and world systems will be challenged and give way to the supernatural vitality of the Eternal Spirit. Do not be afraid of that which is yet to be revealed; you are the apple of My eye, and I am your strong tower that you can run to and be safe, says the Lord.
Proverbs 29:25 The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.


(Verse 1)
I have a secret garden
a place of joy and rest
with living springs and fountains
and fragrant fruitfulness.
My garden is reserved for
my sweet beloved King.
No other one may enter
for His is everything.

(Chorus)
Oh, come sweet Jesus
and dwell within Your garden.
Delight Yourself in what You have created.
Come sweet Jesus
let nothing come between us.
My heart is Yours and Yours alone,
a garden for my King.

(Verse 2)
Come winds of fresh revival,
renew and cleanse my heart.
Come blow upon this garden,
it fragrance spread abroad.
Let sweet refreshing rains fall,
the sun to shine on me.
Your love is what I long for,
come my beloved King.

(Repeat Chorus Two Times)
Oh, come sweet Jesus
and dwell within Your garden.
Delight Yourself in what You have created.
Come sweet Jesus
let nothing come between us.
My heart is Yours and Yours alone,
a garden for my King.

Oh, come sweet Jesus
and dwell within Your garden.
Delight Yourself in what You have created.
Come sweet Jesus
let nothing come between us.
My heart is Yours and Yours alone,
a garden for my King.

(Ending)
My heart is Yours and Yours alone,
my heart is Yours and Yours alone,
my heart is Yours and Yours alone,
a garden for my King.

My heart is Yours and Yours alone,
a garden for my King.

Let me tell you something my friend - you may as well get comfortable with talking about Jesus, because when eternity begins, that's all anyone will be talking about.

YES! It IS TIME TO FOR CHANGE IN AMERICA! IN THE WORLD! It's time to make a difference before we leave this world and go to the next. It's time to GET EXCITED ABOUT JESUS and let everyone know that Jesus isn't just a season or a reason - HE IS THE ANSWER to all of life's issues and needs. We can do it! YES WE CAN!!!

Let's pray:

Father: I need you to help me make a lane change in my life today and get out of the slow boat to China lane and get on the fast-track to letting people know that YOU ARE COMING SOON! Guide me and direct me! Take all there is of me Lord for your service. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
