when we know what the teacher for Christmas

Today we're going to talk about the True Vine abiding in the Vine.

Help you out by saying it.

I always get really sad songs for Lord. We thank you so much for your word that you are the Living Word and holy spirit part set. I just like them when I leave change today by your presence your personhood and the Holy Spirit. And so Jesus we lift you high today. And we ask that you would speak to our hearts and let today be a super day, press Transformers and the way that we are by your work and buy your presents or God that is tangible and in our lives we are blessed.

So I guess I saw the story night. That was very interesting.

A rifle displayed in his store. That was one of those beautiful rifles ever made. From the Kentucky squirrel rifles were made from ordinary just for show the others were for shooting but of course.

Is decorate that the fact that it did not shoot was arrival it when I went to share that is because God has created us all purpose of the Declaration of decorations for the meanest decorated up to show that you are holy. This is something that comes on the inside and in the end, you know that man had to use a gun for any reason other than for decoration so much more purpose in us and so just kind of like that the prophet saw God's Prophet was looking at the outside appearance. I look at the heart and so it is to abide in him that we were made to abide and got that really means but I want us to know that you're open to draw. I want to stick to the story together because chapter a lot of times. We don't know where it's at. The story, you know, pretty much leading to the end is based on the last supper from John chapter 19 or 20. This is a conversation that Jesus is having with his disciples at the Last Supper many people don't know that you know, you just say, you know, Jesus of course washing his disciples feet just like any person if you are about to die wouldn't really even shown in our own.

Very important with people, you know, what are words in our site is near most especially to the words Jesus when he was trying to tell them that the way that she wanted them to live when he wasn't with them in the physical. Of course, he would be with them in the spirit the rest of the day something he says when you're not with when you see me face to face

I just want you to know right now that you're so we're going to we're going to do this video to put yourself in the place of a disciple. Imagine yourself. This is the last supper was about to take place as well.

All right.

together, so John

My father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that does that bears no fruit while every branch that does bear fruit so that it will be more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you for station because it's this whole conversation. Like I said is vital to their why it's also vital because of the persecution. That is the first what does it really mean to buy? You know, that is often making got our home source from every day.

So that the person that you said that you converse with every single day for everything that you need to the relationship that you need a lot of people want to do the works part, but people don't know that it's you can without the relationship part really great relationship with the maker actually get the true results because there's actually a lot of false Vines out there. I don't know a lot about what is the branch? What is the weather? And I will just tell you I didn't really learn a lot only thing I learned is that the vine can exist without the branch but the branch can exist without the vine. So for us is that Jesus can continue on grow but we are by but S as the branch that is wrapped around that vine. We only get life connected to that vine. You were made for pleasure or a short lasting encounter fits of the source of life or even or even though it's been showing ingredients.

The body to digest the natural process of wine, but I thought we live in a world that is just like that man actually does more damage to our bodies in the process of the winemaking. Do you know that he has designed for us to be storing us that takes time for transforming that takes

What are the different religions of the world because they would rather have that than boys more lies at the end people receive for what Christ has done for us, you know, there's nothing that you can do today that can make there's nothing that you can do with grace that God has given to us once he has eradicated as soon as we ask for forgiveness. That is just as a race. As if we had never done it, there is no other religion in the world that will do it. But because it does cost Our Lives just like he said that if you want to be a part of I know that you're not a part of this world that you have left so that the housing of the world and the reason they separated meat substitute that people can accept in the world so that it doesn't offend anybody else or make it feel like my gosh. I'm so different. Just, just be made it.

And that's where we get changed is being a part of the tree people go. You know, how do I get this? There is no other formula to change fasting for 4 hours. It's just a good diet book tells us that Jesus is the only way today is the only way

As Christians just like heat in the garden discourage us to try to convince. The enemy says test questions that Satan has to get her to be tinted in the way that it's the same questions that the enemy says to us today that God really say that he is God really believe that don't you think there was another way he would have shown it but in the same way God has provided the way of life for us and for them and not Liberty because where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty, so they open

Now I have tried to prune a plant before and I can tell you when you don't I have butchered my life and more plants in my life. And I would rather than that means that she knows that will actually bring forth and the enemy has deceived us that he will prunus to the point that we will know number.

But anytime that got friends that we actually Bear more fruit, but it's amazing that there is a process to just like it takes 5 to 7 years for grapes to ripen to the point of being used as quickly as we destroyed because then it will actually be worthless and every single will die as well. So you have to know what the prune at the right time so it can actually bears fruit and not destroyed the crop. What's a prune in our lives at the one time that is bigger? I wish that God would take a thousand things out of me that I know. I wish I would change about me or poor decisions. I've made I wish I went to keep making this choice for me. She wants her whole heart, but he's going to ask little things from us at a time to turn the whole ship. So so it would destroy you but if you give me this day by day by day, we connect to the true source of life that transfers.

Everyday is not the right thing. It's actually just choosing him day by day. It's actually just going I can't do it and I think that we often try to separate from the vine because we say it would it seems foolish for me to feel like I have to keep going to eat for strength because if I take going to you for strength, and I'm not sufficient on my own way to attach herself to the branches and they give source to one another and so he wants to be our source. He wants to be that we can't do it in our own strength that we can't make that is a god-given gifts that we say help. What is a god-given prayer that God has given to us help? I can't do it. I can't make it help. I can't change my cell help. I can't turn this situation around help. I need you. That is a greatest prayer that we have and being a part of the Vine. This is why I like and love will always have a connection is connected to the things that we love. However when Jesus is not first place in the Bing of our first love the way we try to always be unhealthy. The person who tries to get love from a person without Jesus says he likes you, please without a dog. I don't know who ever heard that analogy but without a dog. Lights out of each other and they try to survive by consuming one another left. And so many times people try to get out of another person only they can get out of a need or a relationship or a whole cuz we all have a god-shaped hole inside of us. It's a wonderful gift that God has given to you. We are made for something so much more we were made for extravagant.

Whatever is fine. I will fight it to come after your heart is so weak and broken and then punish them for it. But that was something that God created out of us to know. What's amazing about a true love story. It's too weak people who say yes to each other week, but I choose to choose to rest that I will love you. That's the truest thing of love. That's our love story isn't even though I can't compare to your love. I can't I don't know how to love you the same way, but I will try. I will try us from our hearts and that's it. I mean how amazing it's really so simple so complicated. So when something that you're connected to this is a personal question. Why is it so hard to abide in God, you know, why do we have such a hard time abiding in God and so a few things came to my mind and it might be just and it's like an onion to ask her ourselves the question like, you know, why is it hard to revive your response is going to be to us in two reasons in our life why we feel like we can abide or not if I Universal overall, I think that is sometimes more common than not that more people feel like me.

Why would God think about me? What is it says? I'm always on his mind. Why would I be on his mind? Why would he love me personally and I have a phone for myself. I mean, I'm really honest because it tells us that knowing all of these things. We are more than conquerors through him who loved us for I am convinced that neither death nor life nor angels nor demons nor things present neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our lord Jeremiah. I have loved you with an everlasting love. I have drawn you with unfailing kindness and that to buy it and God is to be abiding in his unfailing 1st. John 4:16 says for real. Continent that's the love of God has let me see again. Sorry, so we have to believe the love that God has for us. It is true. He is he can't separate himself from it. I am Tiffany Johnson. God is love Corinthians 13. I always put God and place of love. God is patient. God is kind you can do that because she is love she is the definition of that he would know about his life and whoever abides and love abide in God and God abides in him. So that's why I love and abiding is always going to be connected because you're not going to live in a home that is damaging for you run away from him, right?

Cuz you're going to live in a house that you're for sure. We are love. If this is true about comparison the term, I am sure my love expression concerning his love comes from Psalms forever. His love was with them all the way. That's why I love it cuz he delivered them his love endures forever the song that he adores and I thought I don't know if you've ever endured somebody and or being around somebody really made me think about it every single time. I felt like I was at my lowest

His love and war with me today is to abide at this is true. Well, I'm packing another layer. I believe some of it is that we believe but let me take this way. We don't believe that he loves us because of Shame and unworthiness and I believe that that's a part of going okay or part of shape or just filling completely Unworthy of it for shame because of XYZ I mess up. So, how can you still love me the same as what caused Adam and Eve to hide from God in the garden it will cause our hearts to hide from God.

Psalm 34:5 says those who are radiant and their faces are never covered with Shane just like an atom. Where are you the part was is that God was knew I had already knew the shame that she would take that shame because he had to come and there's so many times that shamed put that thing where it goes. I can't come before him because I'm so ashamed of what I've done. I'm so ashamed of who I am and she will keep us from him every single time. But the truth is you'll never be worthy. Doesn't love you because you are worthy. But because she's worthy because he died person Christ died for us when we were at our worst to Redemption full length is actually just a marker to keep moving forward and thought it's how we learn and we grow and that he was just like a father and that really sucked this time piano. Maybe maybe sometimes you go.

You know, I mean, I have a little bit more and I can do this and then the next time you break both of your legs, but I love it. It says The Godly man made trip seven times and Proverbs 24:16, but they will get up again. But for the wicked and says what one disaster is enough to overthrow the you know, how a no and it's amazing that God is truly Wicked and you see God

You said you were running a good race who cut in on you? His his encouragement not that you're out of the race get back in it. Give me about you are so far off the right that you're not on another race and you can't get back. He says it might take them but the same for every single human being doesn't matter how far off we get off the track, you know, and I think sometimes Grace makes this thing that I love Grace. I love Grace so we have forgotten the fear of the Lord that there is no trembling that he is Holy anymore. I mean you don't hear about his hole in Because his the fear of the Lord actually does cheapest on the race because we know the cost of leaving it and gray sometimes can be so sloppy and the fact that it says, well, I can always come back and guess what it says in this world that if you go out too far, it doesn't just heat heat. That's why you have a cry come back because he goes it's dust over there. It's not just you're just running a different ways. He says you are inferior. The fire that the fire is over there and you're running closer closer to your own destruction and that there is a car to come back to the Raceway tonight is a lost thing these days that you don't hear that there is nothing that makes us Trimble anymore. This world doesn't tremble before God. It's okay making fun of God's not knowing that he could destroy the world just like he did in a moment and yes, he is loving but he is the judge Open before a judge and I know that seems like you're saying he loves me but yet there is just because we need to tremble again. We need to tremble before this round goes. Thank you for loving me because you're so holy because you're so righteous, but you don't have to have me but you want me that should make us Trimble, but we don't talk anymore and that's why people lives by speaking. Well, maybe I can just come back. Yeah, we can but there's that there is a point that sometimes the farther we keep running off the race, the more our ears get hearted and our heart gets hard and you see people running towards the fire as if it's the happiest places. If it's Disney World the happiest place on Earth to be far from God. It's a nice place from Earth to do what I want to do truly in the flames. the Flames of destruction of their life I think another reason that people because they're disappointed. You know, I know I don't think any person and let kindergarten know what do you want to be when you grow up when I stand up I want to be a fireman and you might be disappointed. You might be those people don't turn out what they thought they would be princess and she's trying to catch it up. Super most people don't become the doctor Force most people officer. Grow up, cuz we do tell people they're really is but there's also a thing that I had that moment where it goes reality isn't what I thought it would be this bitterness and pain and we create a theology around it that my disappointment shows me that there's a God that's disconnected because I mean I mean so much to her until the last couple years.

Because I really believe that is some of the biggest disappointment to really wrestle your theology with to show you live. And you know, it is a lot longer than the fact that my dad has a trinity to be whole and thankful as much as I wanted him on the side of my life. That's hard for us to navigate through. disappointed tutoring, you know, he had dreams of his life and he still believed that they could

Yeah, and so, you know even things that were in his heart, you know, there's things I can always happen. But even if not God wants to talk to us about the disappointment. He play me what a timer like God take this out of my life and let's talk about that disappointment that you had for a long time because that's the thing that needs to be removed if I could only stop this or if I could only let's talk about the disappointment free. Let's talk about the pain in your heart because when we talked about the pain in your heart

That's why I love my team 11 cuz he says come to me all who are weary take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. I love that this is this is been a help for me Isaiah 61 because if you're broken hearted, it says the spirit of the Lord is on me. This is what Jesus says sent me to bind up the Brokenhearted to Proclaim freedom to the captives and release from darkness of prisoners. But this is David taking the cigar because sometimes your sacrifice to God the biggest thing you can give him is your broken and contrite heart broken and contrite heart. God will not despise for the question. The last process real quick before we close. It is a lot that men have to carry that they're not really allowed to process emotion because there's this pressure of you know, that shouldn't bother you but you know what Jesus a man is saying this then he knows that it's okay for men to process for men to let go and it's okay that you didn't deal with that. Well,

I thought that you know, I mean because of Amanda that you like man likes Matthew, you know, it's almost like it's okay for women to go on this whole big thing. But Amanda is it like this alarm? Like what would you can't do the same thing? You can't go through the same process, you know get over it and let me tell you find the father who is a man is saying, you know, that's not true. Then it's okay for us to go that hurt me at five year old that hurt me those words hurt me that subject hurt me. This was pain in my life. And that's the good thing about God is our God.

Berger load onto me let me listen to your heart and let me hear it such an emotional or can't be emotional because that's a God who sits in heaven that is a Lie from the enemy because he has a lot of emotions that he feels and he expresses them and he's in love and that's huge and I messed up. I don't care. I'm proud of you. I failed. I don't care. I'm proud of you. Why because you're mine. That's it. What other reason do I need your mom? And that's what God does the last reason I really do believe it's a process song as we love ourselves a little bit too much for us to die. It's the only way I'm picking up the cross so often people look for a God who looks like their image God might have made in His image. So we have to not just be conformed to look like in the way that we look but to become Farm like him on the inside of our heart. The world hates his Commandments and the scripture tells us if we branches apart from not just fear. They don't maybe not in the natural right away, but in their spirit will be cut off from him forever if I don't return the song.

Jesus take its really ultimately through personal relationship. It's really just a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Looks like just like what you do with the spouse you depend on your heart and your whole no matter what you go through in the day the day unless there is no relationship. So it looks like because this fruits of the spirit

In the morning or what are you doing today? Like let me hear what you would want to say to me to talk to God while you're reading the word. You would have to say to me today or scriptures.

I didn't know this is hard. I don't know what to do when you leave an hour and you know that you can what are you thinking today that you know like?

So I mean but I couldn't because thanks where in the Bible does it say it cuz he killed your hair. You know, he Bolsa tears that you cry. How did you get to the point that he doesn't care that, you know, you rent out a way to help you don't like that at such a lot better economy came flash. You know, you think we could go back and leg. She didn't do that create you and just so that you know, so that is how I would encourage you. Enclosing which we really are closing at this point since I'm way over do you want you to love your not just a decoration? You know, I have a friend. I want my old roommate. She's going to go be a missionary in Turkey. I love it. She called me to give me the spiritual even though I thought you something every month. So she calls me to give me this whole spiel about you know, you're still but she said something and I said, oh my gosh, I said Nikki I said

And she said, you know, I could be the perfect person that God wanted and so I'm thinking I'll go.

She said but I just thought you know God just wants perfect people. So obviously he can do whatever he wants without me because I'm not there and she said that's what I learned that trick first time. I really heard that God wanted me in the story and she said in Grace told me that it was what I did because I always wanted me in the story. So he died for me. I said so powerful because I said and religion were always tell us that there's a God he doesn't want to send the story that never means it takes to get his and results doesn't matter. It's about the goal. It's about the tasks buy said that that's not how God works, you know, Grace tells us that the story that we were designed for the store in fact, Doesn't work unless were part of the story on what you could do or what you did. It was just that you felt like you belong and we all belong we all belong. So we have to know that we belong in the story because it's almost like specially for you. There's a home right now and that door has been closed and he's going if this is what your name is.

Let's do this and every day because he's waiting for you. He wants you to be there. And if not, you're just sitting out in the cold wondering and I bet you any living day-by-day. Why do I why am I even here? You know the make the bread, you know like to go get money live life Switchfoot song that there has to be something more and I bet you anything.

I had to come home to mission for us to say Jesus will return home today to truly ask Jesus to come into my heart and home today or never really knowing how to do that today. And if I just want you to put your hands out in front of you and this isn't for me. Honestly, it's for you have to pay to go Jesus. I'm opening up my heart to you today. I'm asking you to come home. So I thought you this morning. I just want you to put.

Everyday with you having your way in my heart. I will purpose everyday to spend time with you that will purpose everyday to talk to you everyday and some of you may be Shane Shane just going to tell you right now it's gone from being any more or anymore. And so this morning I want us to say this. I want you to say this in your heart.

I want you to have your home in my heart. I don't want you to have your home in me. I asked you to be the Lord Of My Life. Help me everyday to live in Utah. I ask that you have full reign in me. I want to be your son and I want to be your daughter. Please Lord have your way. Help me to hear your voice today in my life.

Thank you for the cross. Thank you for your life. Thank you. Have a home. In Jesus name amen. Hey, man, let's turn to our last.
