How then does the branch produce perfect fruit? What is our work? It is always--and I emphasize this again--it is always to abide and let the Vine do the work. Now this is absolutely difficult for us to understand. If we abide and let God do the work, then it is done right, and we become channels through whom He can flow. If we put ourselves into it, we mess things up; and we've been messing things up for 6,000 years which is why it is taking us so long.
We are talking about fruit bearing, but what kind of fruit are we talking about? Fruit bearing is actually a matter of bearing the fruit of the Spirit described in the book of Galatians: love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
I want to emphasize again that I am printing out a little book that helped me so much and I though you would like the help that I have received from it. It was written by Evangelist Frank Philips who spent the last ten years of his life sharing this message and it's all Biblical and so simple to under-stand. May you be blessed by this message. Grandma Joan, more tomorrow.
