Jesus; Alive and Well and Making a Difference.

When we abide in the Lord, we produce much fruit. It’s only in abiding though. Church once a week isn’t enough. We must live with God; connect with Him every day. We’re all busy but we must make time. Branches only produce fruit when connected to the vine.

God is love and love is the most powerful force on earth. Jesus loved us all, everyone of us. He loved us enough to die for us. The power behind His death is still felt around the world today. And because of that power, that gift freely given, we now have peace of mind and heart in all situations – but only if we remain connected to the vine.

Before Jesus was crucified, He gave advance warning to His disciples. He told them He was going away beforehand and because His word is truth, when He tells us something, we can believe it.

While the Internet has many positives coming out of it, there’s also an element of falsehood. A mixture of truth and lies. The same can be said for prophets; some are true, some bring deception and the only way to know the difference, is in the time spent with God. We must be able to discern what the Lord is imprinting upon us.

It’s important that we not be deceived in matters and it’s only in spending time with God, worshipping God, reading God's word that we shall have the ‘inkling’ when something isn’t right, when something feels a little ‘off.’

 Also, what we carry isn’t meant to stay inside the four walls of the church. What we carry is meant to be spread far and wide. We’re meant to declare; “Let My people go.” We’re meant to set captives free.

Abiding in Him will produce much fruit. The opposite is also true. Care for others. Witness to others. Pray for others. Set an example for all to see; Jesus is Lord. Jesus is alive and well and making a difference. Are you?
