Praise His Holy name, beloved friends in Christ, Jesus is the vine we are connected to. We will never whither and our fruit is abundant.
What an amazing season we are having and is all due to the inexhaustible supply of life giving nourishment, coming from the vine we are grafted into. Thank You Jesus for Your living water and thank You Father God, our Vinedresser, who prunes us to bear even more fruit.
As much as that pruning may be uncomfortable, the pain is short lived. The result is a higher yield for the owner of the vineyard, our Father in Heaven, our King and Saviour, Lord Jesus Christ.
John 15:1-5 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing”
We have moved to another camp, 15 minutes out of Christchurch. I did not know about this one, as it was not on my app. Until a brother in Christ recommended us to go there, thank You Lord. Just so happens to be the same price so we will save on fuel, praise God. The camp is very lovely and quiet, with a large covey of resident Quail, running all around us.
They are quite hilarious to watch as they have a distinctive chirp and the males have a plume of feathers on top of their heads. They extend their necks up as much as possible whilst flicking their plume or crest up to give themselves as much height as possible, as they run up to rival males.
Its seems to be all a show of pomp and boasting. Gosh even the animals and birds have heart issues.
Psalm 104:24-25 O Lord, how manifold are Your works!
In wisdom You have made them all.
The earth is full of Your possessions—
This great and wide sea,
In which are innumerable teeming things,
Living things both small and great.
Today we set up the table where brother Pio was stationed. Stocked with bibles and water. Brother Logen, Chris, Samson and myself were based on Cashel street again.
The Hari Krishnas were doing their rounds again, and come up to where we were. Brother Logen preached to them and bound up all false doctrines in Jesus name. They continued on their way as their drums were no match for the true God.
Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel,
And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts:
‘I am the First and I am the Last;
Besides Me there is no God.
1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
Brothers Chris and Samson both preached with the power of the Holy Spirit as they spoke truth and revelation of the need for a Saviour, the only, Jesus Christ.
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Sister Aileen, sang beautiful gospel songs, glorifying Jesus and preached the word of God to the masses of people passing by. Many seeds sown today, Hallelujah!, and Jesus did it all through the Holy Spirit, Praise God.
Exodus 15:2 The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation;
He is my God, and I will praise Him;
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
At one point brothers Samson and Logen went into spiritual warfare, binding up all strongholds, and breaking fear and pride off the people.
Immediately after, an asian man come forth with a blessing for us. Then this huge group of youth appeared out of nowhere, close to us. Brother Logen prayed with them, as they all surrendered their lives to Jesus, accepting Him into their hearts. All glory to Jesus and thank You Holy Spirit. Things just happen like that when we take authority over an area in Jesus name. Amen.
Mathew 16:18-19 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall notprevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
I met fellow brother in Christ Orlando, as he came to sit next to us in his lunch break.
We fellowshipped together then prayed for each other. Then a man and his wife on holiday from America, approached us seeking a church they could attend on Sunday. So we referred them to a couple of churches and prayed for them as well. God is so good isn’t He. He works all thing for the good of those who love Him. Amen.
Jesus Himself, received many precious souls into His flock. Thank You Jesus, You are the good shepherd Who leaves the 99 to look for the 1 lost.
Well currently there are still many lost sheep, but You love them all and are still going after each one.
Luke 15:1-7 What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
God bless you all, from your brother in Christ, please comment by clicking on the post title.
