The Holy Spirit will show


John 15:1-2 

The Vine and the Branches

15 “I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. 2 He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.

 

 Only the Spirit

 

Only the Holy Spirit can show us “unrestricted”

through our spirit ... who we are in Jesus Christ.

It is not a mental assessment that reaps in comprehension.

It’s far beyond that status ... only shown in Christ.

 

Within our deepest longing when the truth is unfolding

and true love pours suddenly from the solid ground.

We help the hopeless drink directly from the Fountain

and then we know for sure ... that Jesus within is found.

 

The power that moves within us ... gives the ability to believe

and then faith will come through relentless revelation.

Through it all, I must be ... the Spirit’s fruitful tree,

pruned and cared for by The Lord of Salvation.
