John 15:9-14

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.

Prayer

Thank you for loving me. Help me to stay in the love you have for me.

Loving you is obeying you. Let my heart be all about obeying you.

I need to continue to remember that in obedience to you, my joy will be full.

Help me to focus on loving my neighbour no matter the circumstances, remembering that you loved me when I was living a life of sin outside of you. You loved me so much you caused your son, Jesus to die for me.

I want you to continue to call me your friend. Pour the spirit of love all over me.

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen.

John 15:1-8 - The True Vine

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. 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.

Prayer

Lord, I thank you because you are the true vine, the source of my life. I am humbled that you have enabled me to be a part of you. I know that you want me to be like you.
I ask that anything in me that is not fruitful, take away from me. I do not want bad habits or way of life to overcome the good that is in me.
In areas where I have started to grow and develop, let your Spirit purge and make me better. Let your word continually be a cleansing balm in me.
Without you I am nothing. Let that fact never depart from me. Continually let your life flow through me. Help me to be fruitful.
I do not want to be alone without you. I do not want to end up in the fire.
As I work on abiding in you by grace, let your words never leave me or forsake you.
Be glorified in the heavens.
Thank you, father, Jesus name. Amen

Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.

Romans 8: 3 -13

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Prayer

Father, thank you for sending Jesus who knew no sin to die in my place, so that the law will be fulfilled.

To benefit from the death of Jesus, I have to follow after the Spirit and not after my flesh.

Help me greatly in this area. I do not want to die, I want to live eternally. My flesh always wants to do things independent of you.

I know I have to please you continually. I want your Spirit to live inside of me.
My body has to be subject to you from this moment, I cannot do this by myself.

Let your Spirit raise a fire in me to focus my mind to righteous living. Help me to live O Lord.

Thank you for your grace in Jesus name, Amen

Thank you father in Jesus name. Amen.
