The Father will never cut the True Branch:

God does not prune the branches that are the real you. He prunes that thorns and thistle of law and condemnation. “The every branch the does not produce” is not you but the illusion of your own judgment outside of Him aka law and condemnation which is dead.

Here is the exhortation:

You are God’s vineyard, and He waters you moment by moment. Don’t look to the fruit, rather look to the vine lil branch, that the fruit you produce will be His. In doing this, God will purge you all of all the illusionary thorns and thistles of law and condemnation; these are branches He cuts they are not you. His fire (pruning power) is in your sap, and this is in the Vine. <abide></abide>

Here is the scriptures and my comments and notes within them:

John 15:2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.

John 15:3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

John 15:6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

Romans 11:17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,

Romans 11:22 Consider therefore the kindness (God’s kind you are in Christ) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness (God’s kind you are in Christ, the Spirit of the Lord). Otherwise, you (the you who is not you, the body of sin) also will be cut off.

Matthew 3:10 The ax (The son of David is the Ax) is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. This is not you this is “the you” (false you) temporal you that you think you are. This is not the you who is the One Spirit with the Lord.

1Co 3:13-15  Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

What is the fire?  Fire is the Word of God – who is the testimony of Jesus.

The fire cleanses but does not destroy you according to the Apostle Paul. It cleanses you of your work that the Work of the True Every Man (Christ Jesus) remains untouched and whole!!!

Jeremiah 23:28 Let the prophet who has a dream tell his dream, but let the one who has my word speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the LORD.

In Jeremiah He calls man’s dream, (his soulish reality) the straw.  The Seed who is Christ is the grain.  So the grain is really the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Thoughts of inspiration related to the topic:

The first mankind entered a dream state and got a woman out of a his side. (God never wakes that mankind)  I think that a side (rib) out of him, became drawn out to what was outside of Him.

Abraham entered a dream state when God made covenant with him and God swore by Himself. God swore to the Seed who is Christ and the Promise was sure. The soul man Abraham was tranced.

Paul tells us to awake (come out of sleep) to righteousness, and Sin not.  He says this sleep has something to do with not knowing God, or who God is.

Let me know what you get out of this. I’m curious and want to hear what Christ is saying to you about this.

In Christ by and through Him: Him Apostle

Forgiven??? Why, when we have been Justified?

Why would anyone ever want to be forgiven, which means to be found guilty of the crime and then pardoned. When they could have instead justification, which means you are declared not guilty, no crime committed. When the meaning of biblical words are confused, or they are considered equal with each other, the glorious gospel truths are made a mystery to the masses.

 

This crime is further perpetrated in the words belief and faith. Belief is not faith, and faith is not belief. Faith is the gift of God. It is seeing Christ Jesus and the finished works, and you and him finished and made whole. Faith is the byproduct of the word of God, and the byproduct of faith is belief.

 

When one understands the original intention that was spoken by Elohim in the very beginning (The Logos), they have been given faith. When faith comes into one’s soul, the conception of belief is made. Belief is the response to faith. Belief and faith are not the same thing.

 

Let’s look at another Christian word receive and the false concepts that surround it.  Many believe that when they receive faith and salvation it is about work out of their own-selves. In other words, THEY out of their own choice receive. This is not only prideful, but it is a very devious error.

 

Let me give you an example. I can receive something without choice. Let’s take the organs of my body, did I choose to receive my heart and lungs? No, I received them without a choice.  Some would have us believe that we need to receive Jesus by our choice in order for salvation to be effective. This is not true. Salvation is effective because we receive Jesus Christ as a gift of God, just like our organs are a gift of God.

 

As long as these errors are prevalent within the body, many will falsely believe that they have to obtain their own salvation. When salvation was obtained by Jesus Christ’s faith in the righteousness of his father. It is in this faith that we are contained, and have our salvation. It is in Jesus Christ’s that we give glory to God, and make no effect the self-righteousness of the Christian religion‘s idea of self salvation for Jesus Christ is the author – which means originator, and the finisher – which means the one who completed, our faith.

The Scripture:

“Yet now, apart from law, a righteousness of God is manifest (being attested by the law and the prophets),  yet a righteousness of God through Jesus Christ’s faith, for all, and on all who are believing, for there is no distinction,  for all sinned and are wanting of the glory of God. 24 Being justified gratuitously in His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus” Roman 3:21-23

“Now to the worker, the wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as a debt.  Yet to him who is not working, yet is believing on Him Who is justifying the irreverent, his faith is reckoned for righteousness.” Romans 4:5

For if Abraham was justified by his acts, he has something to boast in, but not toward God. For what is the Scripture saying? `Now Abraham believes God and it is reckoned to him for righteousness’” (Rom.4:2,3).

“Now the Scriptures perceiving before that God is justifying the nations by faith, preached an evangel to Abraham before, that `In you shall all the nations be blessed.’ So that those of faith are being blessed together with believing Abraham” (Gal.3:8,9).

“Being justified gratuitously by His grace, through the deliverance which is in Christ Jesus (Whom God purposed for a Propitiatory, through faith in His blood, for a display of His righteousness because of the passing over of the penalty of sins which occurred before in the forbearance of God) toward the display of His righteousness in the Current era, for Him to be just and the Justifier of the one who is of the faith of Jesus” (Rom.3:24-26).

“Being, then, justified by faith, we may be having peace with God through our Lord, Jesus Christ, through Whom we have had the access, also, in faith, into this grace in which we stand, and may be glorying in expectation of the glory of God” (Rom.5:1,2).

 

Therefore it is of faith that it may accord with grace, for the promise to be confirmed to the entire seed, not to those of the law only, but to those also of the faith of Abraham, who is father of us all, 17 according as it is written that, A father of many nations have I appointed you ‐‐ facing which, he believes it of the God Who is vivifying the dead and calling what is not as if it were ‐‐ Romans 4:16-17

“One knowing no sin, He makes sin for our sakes that we should be becoming God’s righteousness in Him” (2 Cor.5:21)

“Now the just by faith shall live” (Rom.1:17)
