A word of instruction from the Lord:
“The vine is for abiding but also for climbing, for ascending to the high places of the earth, to provide a vantage point, to proclaim My worth.
Hold fast to the principles of connection. Me in you, you in Me, My love reaching perfection. The miracle of divine unity, evidenced for the world to see, so through our common unity they can come and believe, come and be set free.
Dependence and connection are synonymous in My kingdom. Where union is preordained, connectedness brings strength, a flow which is destined to bring great Kingdom gain. But these connections can also be in the most vulnerable places, exactly the point where the enemy seeks to sever and break.
So, sure up and protect your hearts, and know My divine connections will be strengthened, even remade when I remain your sole (soul) focus, your greatest gain.”
“Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.”
John 15:4-5 (AMPC)
