Have you ever noticed the difference in the Christian life between work and fruit?

Let us present ourselves before our Lord, until He speaks to each of us in power, and our whole soul feels it.

The only way to obey the command, Abide in Me, is to have eye and heart fixed upon Christ Himself.

There is but one way for the branch to bear fruit, there is no other possibility, it must abide in unbroken communion with the vine.

Many believers pray and long very earnestly for the filling of the Spirit and the indwelling of Christ, and they do not make more progress.

The Word is God’s pruning knife. Jesus says, “Ye are already clean, because of the word I have spoken unto you.”

It is the honest, healthy wood of the vine that has to be cut away.

The word comes with Divine authority to search and test our life.

What has our Lord to say to us of fruit?

Every Branch in Me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away.

And My Father is the Husbandman.—JOHN 15:1.

ALL earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities
