The Union Between Stability and Fruitfulness - Bishop T.D. Jakes

I'm going to talk to you about the

union

between

stability

and fertility the

union

between

stability

and fertility so I want you to write down that the union between stability and fertility in other words we are going to take these two characteristics that often exist independently independently of each other there are some people who They are fruitful but they are not stable There are other people who are stable but they don't know how to be fruitful But today we are going to have a wedding and we are going To marry the two of them together, now I will show you how much better things are when you unite stability with

fruitfulness

.

Okay, I'll show you how you can't build trust, whether with a client or a colleague, if you don't. You do not have stability and fertility as long as you are not stable people will not trust you you can have outbursts of grandeur you can do kind things you can do good things for a while but trust comes through stability until you are stable people do not trust you, so if you're going to have that kind of stability that creates trust again between clients between spouses between children with your parents, no matter what it is with your church with your leadership or what it is with your boss at his job it has to be stable there has to be a union between stability and

fruitfulness

for all of you who are a new job in a new relationship in a new church in a new situation you have to realize that you have a blank sheet of paper and all you will learn about yourself is what you taught them, they have nothing to build on what you teach them, so if you don't like what they are learning, stop teaching them when you're done.

In this class you will take charge of the architectural design of how people see you and how you see yourself and how God sees you and how you relate to God and how God relates to you and you will do it all while being stable you don't have to worry about be fruitful you're going to be fruitful God will make sure you're fruitful make sure you're stable let's go over that again God will make sure you're fruitful make sure you're stable until you make sure you're stable God can't make sure you're fruitful, There is a combined effort between those two things, but I think today we are going to be parents of the Word of God and I think it will bless your life I think it will speak to you in a very profound way I think it will open up some things I think it will shed some things and in the life someone will answer some prayers so I'm glad you logged into the stream. today because God is here in your mail and he would hate to leave the mail and you no longer live there.

I want you to be home, where you're supposed to be to welcome every word that comes out of your mouth. of God I am not in any area tonight I am not allowed to excite anyone I am in this room just you and I we are together we are reviewing the Word of God and I want to teach you some principles about God that I believe will help your life strengthen you encourage you because you would always abound in the work of the Lord, give me the courage you need to be able to be strong, to be stable and to be fruitful again, the union between stability and fruitfulness, we are going to be the gospel again, st.

John chapter 15 verse 1 to 10 Gus was Saint John chapter 15 verse 1 to 10 and during this time that many of you are isolated and are practicing social, what do you call it social distancing? and all of that gives you an opportunity to really think a little bit use your head a little bit slower a little bit let's talk about something it's going to bless your life are you with me? Well, let's do it in the particular text that we are listening to and listen to the words of Jesus to his disciples at the end. I think the final words are important, you know?

If I go ahead and say something to my wife, I could say anything, she could tell me anything, but if you tell me this is the last time, I'm going to talk to her I'm going to say something important I'm going to say something that really matters and we approach the summary of the life of Jesus and his final impartation to the disciples on whom he depends to establish the New Testament church are not just disciples that he is trying to depend on to come to church or go to a service or singing and acquiring something like being his disciples that he depends on to be the foundation of the church, so he wants to do it in bread. and they engender in them certain principles and certain practical ideologies that will make them a faithful representation of what he has given his life for.

That is a lot. If I am going to give my life for something, I want you to be a true reflection of what it is all about. that and he starts this way, he says I am The True Vine and my father is the husbandman, let's stop there. I am The True Vine and my father is the farmer. It is interesting to note that from Genesis to Revelation. From the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelations, you will see again and again that the garden inseminates everyone else except the great, if we fall to the earth and die again and again, you will see God use agricultural metaphors to bring. about spiritual truth so let's look at this for a minute, let's try to understand what God gets out of using agricultural metaphors to bring our spiritual truth, let's understand that the first thing the book of Genesis teaches us is that God is a seed God.

The bill comes to us in Chapter Eight and teaches us that as long as the earth remains, there will always be time to sow and reap, I believe it is Genesis 8:25, so God says that these principles are irrevocable, they are immutable, they are eternal, They are immutable, everything is exhausted. a system of agroism, well, let's dig deeper, let's look at the word agriculture because when we look at the word agriculture we start to get a clue of what is happening, we are not talking about something that just grows wild, which is not agriculture, just naturally the vegetation just grows where it grows and is not really agricultural as long as something is agricultural it is planted when something is planted it means that it would not grow naturally in that environment it has to be planted there comes from a word that means land or soil and culture comes from a word that means code, which means this is imposed it's not normal for the soil it's not natural for the climate you have to plant it so when God starts being agricultural he says I'm going to plant some things in you that may not be normal in your habitat , but I'm going to achieve them so that you can start to grow, let's say you grew up in the barrio or you grew up in a neighborhood or you grew up in abject poverty or you grew up in a country where people had nothing or didn't do certain things or had certain mentalities and suddenly God plants a seed in you then it is totally contradictory with your family, they don't understand you.

I don't understand you, it's because God is a farmer and sometimes he plants something in the soil that shouldn't come out of that soil because he planted it in that soil, you appear in that soil and sometimes it's a lonely feeling. because you want to be understood and you want to be liked and you want to be appreciated, but in reality sometimes God wants you to be in an environment that is not conducive to that environment because he has planted you there and he wants you to stand out. there it is agricultural in today's text he Jesus says I am the vine and my father is the farmer of the word farmers simply means gardener so he says I relate to you as a vine relates to the branches and my father relates to me as a gardener would do it with a vine so none of this is accidental now let's dig a little deeper into that if you were born through a rake if you were born through an accident if you were born through a one night stand if you know who your mother is or you know who your father is or you don't know who your mother is or you wish you didn't know who your mother was you wish you didn't know what your father was is totally irrelevant to what I'm going to talk about God says you're not an accident, you're not a mistake, you didn't come here because of some mishap, you are not a joke, he wanted you to be here, you survived after all the sperm that was injected into your mother swam for an hour. the rest I predesigned to be here you are not an accident maybe your mother rejected you maybe your father didn't hug you maybe they did support you maybe someone left you in a trash can maybe you were in a trash can maybe you They were given up for adoption I don't care how your mother felt about you you are not an accident to God God predestined predetermined and preordained for you to be on earth you are not an accident my father is the farmer it means that you have been planted Alright and now, when we start talking about this as interesting, let's listen, let's go a little further because I think this is going to be good.

Dean Jesus comes to his disciples and says that every branch in me that DOES NOT bear fruit, he removes every branch in me that DOES NOT bear fruit he removes every branch in me first of all Jesus has said so that you and I can hang out no you can just be close to me you have to be in me you have to be grafted you have to be connected every branch in me that does NOT bear fruit, he, being the father, cuts it off, okay, he cuts it off so you don't have to worry about it the father will cut it off, all those people in your life that aren't really real. all those people the church isn't really real all those people in the church that aren't really connected it's none of my business cutting people off you don't know what you're doing you can cut someone God wants you can cut someone who's under attack , it has pests, it has worms, it has diseases, but that doesn't mean they aren't real, so many times when you feel like you've been given the task of eliminating people.

I have made a mistake, that is the father's job to handle it, he knows who to cut off, he knows who to let in and Jesus said: every branch in me that DOES NOT bear fruit, he cut it off, what does he do? He cuts it off and every branch . In me, he who burns fruit, he cleans it so that it bears more fruit, then the second category says that even if you are fruitful you go through cuttings, that is important for you to understand that because many times you remember when the disciples came to Jesus. said who sinned the father or mother of this child who should be born blind and Jesus said neither of those things, but for the glory of God we are always looking for someone to blame and every time there is a cut in our life, there is a cut in our life. someone dies in our life someone leaves in our life someone gets divorced in our life someone hurts us in our life we ​​always need someone to blame because we are always trying to intellectualize divine providence providence cannot be intellectualized simply this is what It is and Jesus said every branch in me that bears fruit, he purges it so that it can bear more fruit now.

I want to stop here for a moment and I want to deal with something that is omnipresent among people who get together, groups, clubs, families, churches, committees, sororities, offices and that is something called jealousy. Jealousy is born when a person feels that They go through things that other people don't go through and feel that life is unfair to them, but this text is quite clear, everyone is excluded, some people are completely isolated, others. people are cut off, but no one in history is left uncut, everyone goes through cuts in life, okay, so every branch in me that bears fruit, he purges it and then it may produce more fruit, now they were both cut, but what I have were cut to kill and the others were cut to increase, okay, so if you are going to grow, you will grow through the cutting to increase, you will grow because you have been purged, you will grow because every moment in your life in those who have been cut off I hate to tell you that this dancing does not make you grow shouting does not make you grow rejoicing in the Lord does not make you grow I know everyone has been teaching this with praise and God does not make you grow what really makes you grow with you in dear punishment when you endure being cut down when you are being purged that is what makes you grow it is not the good times that make you grow it is the bad times that make you grow the difficult moments, the painful moments, the moments of loneliness, the frustrating moments, the tearful moments, those are the moments that really make you grow and God says if you're growing and you're doing pretty well, the reward is: I cut you off, yeah, yeah, that's how I reward you.

I'm not going to let you stay at the level you're at. I cut you so that you can bear more fruit. Now listen to the love that said that at the beginning I don't feel it. I don't love that my mother used to tell me I'm spanking you because I love you. I had a hard time with that because I thought if you really love me you'd turn that switch down, okay, but God is basically saying the same thing he's saying. She said: I'm cutting you off because I love you, what do you mean by that?

I am cutting you off because I love you too much for you to be satisfied, we are producing at this level when I created you to produce at that level and so I have to cut you off the level that you are producing at so that you can discover that you can do more than you are. , That is good, no? I think if I sat down right now I would have said a lot, I think if I stop there I already told you something to make you grow because we have a tendency to be satisfied with the average, but Jesus said that every branch in me that bears fruit, we purge it to that can bear more fruit, so if you are fruitful and want to bear more fruit, you have to be willing to go through cuttings to get to the place where you are more fruitful let's talk about fruits my children I have five children they are the fruit of our marriage they are the fruit of marriage are not only the fruit of me - the fruit of marriage are the fruit of the union between my wife and me, the offspring are fruitevery time you know there has been fruit there has been a relationship unless you are the Virgin Mary if you are pregnant there has been a relationship even in nature, if there are going to be peach trees and there will be peaches in them, the bees will pollinate from one flower to another because the Fertility is the result of a relationship, you can't be fruitful and non-relational, okay?

To be fruitful as a child of God you have to have a relationship with God, not with the church, not with your pastor, not with the

bishop

, but a relationship with God in which you are in communion with him and the offspring of that communion are true. I can look at my kids and I can hear them talk and I can hear my wife talk and I can hear myself talk sometimes they sound just like their mother sometimes they sound just like me you know why we didn't do it alone so there's a little bit of her in them and There is a little bit of me in them and the same goes for relationships, as the Spirit of God comes together with your spirit, the fruit that is born in your life will have a little bit of both in it.

For it to be effective, we have this treasure in clay pots so that excellence belongs to God and not to us. Do you listen to what I'm telling you so don't think that it's going to be all God and none of you? all of you and nothing of God the fruitfulness that occurs in your life requires a collaborative effort between the two things you cannot sit and do absolutely nothing and pray and say if it is the will of the Lord I will have it no, this is fruit that you have to be involved wake up wake up wake up wake up you have to get involved you have to be connected God is not going to do it arbitrarily without you he is going to do it with you these children are going to be born from the union between you and God, now they are fruits if you don't understand what you can feel closed about everything else, it is God and many Christians understand that, they spend their entire lives praying, oh God, praying to God, asking him to do things that they don't do. know that you are not waiting on God God is waiting on you because God is requiring something from you to be fruitful every branch in me that bears fruit I heard it he cleans it meeting the father so that it bears more fruit someone keeps more fruit if you want more fruit and there is nothing wrong with wanting more stop allowing people to make you feel bad because you want more if you suspect that your potentials exceed your position at this moment if you believe you have more potential to go to the next level from where you are now shout more fruit when you shout more fruit you are saying to yourself I want my capacity to grow to the level of my vision I do not want to believe in one level and continue living another level I want more fruit not because I am greedy not because I am arrogant not because I am self-consuming no because I enthrone the ego myself it's not because I'm a narcissistic maniac I want more fruit because I would hate to live and die and never reach the potential I was created for, that's where we all are now, so Jesus says just because you're connected to me It doesn't mean I won't cut you, I will cut you again, you will suffer a loss.

Not only the loss of spikes, balls, lights and things that you didn't want to lose, when you purge something, you even cut off part of the fruit, some of you have lost some things that you know God gave you and that you can't for the life of you. Can you imagine how in the world God could take something like that from you when I know it was ungodly and gave it to me? You're right, you're right, he gave it to you, but he took it away so that he could bear more fruit. there's more to come I know you're grieving I know you're hurting I know your heart is broken I know your emotions are confused you may even be angry at God I get it, I get it but God wouldn't cut you down if he didn't have more for you you're getting something of this word for those of you who are just joining us we are in the gospel st.

John chapter 15 verses 1 to 10 in these 10 verses we are discussing the union between stability and fruitfulness right now we are just talking about fruitfulness, we are talking about what it takes to be fruitful, we are talking about the submission that we have. having to undergo the cutting process everyone has submission to success forward to the conquering part we all say yes to the cutting part we say oh no I don't want that part God says you can't be a conqueror if you can't stand the cutting my book I call it the question are there crushing moments in life right now America is going through a crush Italy is going through a questioning China is going through a crushing Los Angeles is going through a crushing New York is going through a questioning individuals in it The city is going through a questioning, no one likes going through a crush, but at the end of the crush we should come out better than we were before, not the same as where we were before, we want to go from fruit to more fruit, ultimately there are too many fruits . you with me until now let's go deeper then he says now you are clean by the word that I have spoken to you now you are clean by the word that I have spoken to you I spoke this word to wash you wash away the guilt which is your anger wash away the resentment which is the way pride what is your weight frustration you are clean by the word I have spoken to you you are clean by the word I have spoken to you God gives us a bath through teaching and preaching purifies our spirit He cleanses us inside by the power of word You are clean because of the word that I have spoken over you raise your hands and said cleanse me Jesus when you ask the Lord to cleanse you he sends a word to cleanse you stand up and what I have learned if you do not listen to the Lord through his word, he begins to speak to you through your circumstances.

I would rather repent of his word than have God enter into my circumstances if you do not receive the teaching. You are going to have to go through circumstances that create teaching in your life. You are clean through the word I have spoken to you. Are you listening to what I'm telling you today? Okay, let's dig in. Oh, he's getting to the good stuff. Now then he says, abide in me and I in you, just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, just as neither can you unless you abide in me, I want you to underline every time you see the word abide, abide in me and I in you.

You, like the branch, cannot bear fruit by itself except it abides on the vine, nor can you, except you abide in me, abide, abide, abide, we keep hearing it all again, you abide stable, firm, immovable, to reach one. The places stay there. I can't tell you how many people I see who are not successful today because they try everything and end up with nothing. All you have to do is go to people's Instagram page and read their bio. I am a photographer, biologist. a chemist and an artist a preacher and a motivator how are you going to be all that at 21 Laurita have more degrees than years you can't be everything you have to reduce it to something you can't be everything why? you keep jumping from biology to photography now you're studying psychology now you're going to do motivational singing now you're going to do opera wait a minute I'm not saying that you can't be multi-talented, but I am saying that jumping from one thing to another looking for immediate success It will always lead to failure.

You have to stick with one thing long enough for it to be fruitful just because you started something and it doesn't immediately respond to you the way you imagined. It doesn't mean it won't bless you if you don't invest in it, you invest time, energy, money, training yourself, preparing yourself to be as great as you think you are, there is often a chasm between how good you think you are and how good you actually are. . We're in West Virginia, we used to say: I wish I could buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth.

I can live off the profits for the rest of my life. Many times people deceived themselves. in thinking that they are better at something than they really are, that's why you need some people in your life who can tell you the truth that it wasn't that good, you need to work on it, that you could be better at it, that may sound harsh , but in the end it is a favor. I'd rather you hurt my feelings in private than come out and embarrass me in public. Okay, so Jesus is saying this and it's something I think we need to pay attention to in order to abide in me and in me. you, as a branch, cannot bear fruit of your own unless you remain in the vine, you no longer can, except you remain in me, notice that Jesus does not talk about stability and remaining in it until it has grown by cutting, he knows that you will stay As long as you're flourishing, he knows you'll stay as long as all your bills are paid and everything is in its place, he said, but I need you to be stable when you're confused and disappointed and hurt and you can't see. the benefit and you feel like all the other classmates are letting you pass and everyone else can lead a song in the choir but you and everyone else are called by the priest with you don't you know he was in a church that only preached? twice in seven years twice in seven years, you know what I did most of the time, cleaning it on Saturday night, cleaning the baptism pool, shampooing the carpets, Bishop Jake's shampoo, Nora, yeah, I shampooed the carpets for 70, you have to endure those times in your life when your gifts are not sincerely celebrated or even fully developed I still had to prove that I was not serving God by the scenario I had to do or the fact that he was not in the spotlight, you are a very good preacher, you can also listen to another preacher.

I always watch how other preachers receive other preachers because until you can say Amen, which someone else I don't want to call you man, part of your ability requires that you be able to. appreciate someone else being on stage and I'm amazed at people who go on stage and fight and then when they're not on stage they don't help the person who's on stage it's amazing to me how you can be critical when you're on stage sitting there and then how useless you can be and then wake up hearing what the whole church explodes and will go with you, you have to learn how to be stable and firm and God is saying.

I need you to be the most stable when life is most painful, that's what I need you to be the most stable and during divorce I want you to be stable during layoffs. I need you to be stable during the downsizing of your home. I want you to be stable when your heart is broken I want you to be stable when you are not paid what you are worth I want you to be stable the challenge sometimes is being so committed and so focused on what God called you to do that you are stable and this is something that is not taught often and that is why we have people who are 23 years old and have been married three times because the moment something goes wrong we leave there, everything is fine, a great God. years ago my wife would have left years ago it would have been a race to see who would get out first if we left every time something went wrong you stay you endure you endure struggles because you cannot be fruitful if you are not stable again we are talking about the union between stability and fruitfulness you can't be fruitful if you're fickle that's what I'm telling you that's what we're saying are you understanding what I'm saying?

I want to climb on you but I want to climb on you so I'm going to continue here well then Jesus says I am the vine and you are the branches the one who abides in me and I in him he himself bears much fruit so without me you can do nothing now , whether you realized it or not, we went from fruit to more fruit to a lot of fruit, in just a few verses we continued to graduate exponentially from fruit to more fruit to a lot of fruit and we were only able to go from fruit to more fruit. a lot of fruit if we were stable you will never see what you could be if you quit you will never see what you could have if you quit you will never lose weight if you quit you will never own a house if you quit you will never have anything good credit if you quit you will never get your degree if you quit you will never finish anything If you quit you have to keep going when you feel like I'm a failure I'm not good enough I'm not smart enough I'm too old I was too late I'm too much Whatever the devil says You're too much You'll never get to what you're trying to get to If you quit I'm going to dig a little deeper into this.

Are you ready for me, okay, we want to go deeper because I want you to get something here that I think is really important and I want to get down here so I can look you right in the face and understand what I'm teaching you. You today I am the vine you are the branches he who remains in me and I in him he himself bears much fruit because without me you can do nothing now this is the part that wants you to understand you did not arrive alone You cannot do this alone, no you can manage it by yourself, you can't erase those children by yourself, you can't maintain that marriage.together alone you can't manage that apartment alone you can't build that house around you he says without me you could oh I heard you I did it without Mr.

Ni I'm not even saved I did it I went to school and I got my degree and I wasn't saved and I did I bought a house and I wasn't saying I did it yet you didn't do it yourself you may not have recognized it but he helped you get there where you were going And they have been ashamed that he helped you get there and that you gave all your strength to someone who didn't. It's a shame that it led you to where you are in life and you recognize the people who left you, cheated on you, lied to you, and betrayed you. you destroyed yourself and the one who has been closer than a brother will notyou pay no attention he says without me you can't do anything that's why whatever you get whatever you saw whatever you plan whoever you help however you loved him you're just giving out of the abundance of what was given to you because without him you couldn't be a giver without him you could do that you wouldn't have anything to give don't I just mean the money honey?

I don't just mean money, I mean talent, I mean wisdom, I mean concept, I mean influence, I mean ideas, I mean creativity, without it you can't do anything, so he says what's important What you must maintain is not to become more attached to the gifts than you. You are the giver so as not to become more proof of the healing that you are the healer so as not to become more attached to the blessing live you are the blessed one to not become more attached to the things I gave you than to the one who gave them to you because without me you can do nothing. not at all that admission of humility is worship so it's worship right there that's the life of prayer that's a good way to start your morning Lord without you I can't do anything I need you to give me wisdom I'm I'm going to a meeting today I want you to nudge me when I've said too much I want you to put a fence around my tongue I want you to guide me to the most important things to say and I promise you Lord if I win this match I will give you praise because without you I can do nothing this is prayer 101 for people who don't know how to pray is to admit your own limitations to humble yourself before God by opening your heart before him and saying God I am ready to hear from you now, this is Jesus, remember now, remember, don't forget this, Don't forget this, this is Jesus, summary for his disciples, he is preparing to leave them physically and says that without me you can't do anything at the same time.

He said: I'm leaving, so what does it mean? I don't have to do anything. No, I will be with you in spirit. I won't be with you the way I was with you, but I will be with you. and what's your job you're not supposed to make yourself grow you don't have to do that you don't have to be fruitful you don't have to do that you don't have to make yourself taller you don't have to do that you don't have to get richer you don't have to do that He said all you have to do is stay in me and my words stay in you and I have the rest covered now this is a union you can't miss this this is a relationship the union between stability and fruitfulness God says if you are stable I will make you fruitful I have been preaching for 43 years every year good years bad years big crowds no crowds small crowds many appointments no appointment made no difference a lot of money no money I have no money I can't keep the lights on I still preach the word with a car no car I didn't have a car, pick me up for church, thumb, a ride, I have to teach a Bible class, I'm going to teach faith, don't shop, you have to be faithful, you can't be too fruitful if you're not faithful, I managed to be fruitful, but I achieved it by being faithful, I suppose I would absolve him because I preached 10 years and did not have more than 100 members.

Give me credit for 10 years and I didn't have more than 100 members. I guess I came into my life here and said this isn't working for me. I'm going to go sell Fuller Brush, I guess I would have left at nine and a half and said, you know, if God wanted to bless me in this, he would have blessed me. I gave it nine and a half years, it wasn't a problem. The blessing was about being faithful because maybe he didn't have 100 until now and yet it's okay because he is worthy of everything. You don't measure success the same way the world measured success once you put your hand to the plow. you don't look back once you say yes you don't say no once you sign up you quit once you've earned you don't part ways you have to be faithful you have to be firm you can't get the honey the lion if you're not faithful you have to stay I feel like I'm talking to someone who is ready to give up.

I feel like I'm talking to someone who is frustrated and says that by now I should have had a blessing that Should you decide when the plant will bear fruit? You are not the farmer, you are just a branch, just stay connected and mind your own business. God knows what is ready to bless you. God knows what your family can handle. God knows when your but or. enough to handle it God knows when you're grown enough to handle it God knows where he can trust you with blessing God knows when you're ready to have a door opener God knows when it won't go to your head God knows when you won't lose your way God knows when you won't get high God knows what you won't lose your mind God knows when you won't have a nervous breakdown God knows with all your feet God knows who is your favorite to fight to the end God knows when you can withstand the pressure God knows when you can fight the haters God knows when you can deal with - it's a God knows when the explosion you oh my God and until then everything you have to do honey, it's very simple, you don't have to go to university this year.

I'll have to take an extra class. You don't have to download LinkedIn and read something all night and all for free. Huh, is it real? Simple, I just show up for the fight every day, I show up for the famous victory that came up short, look at two o'clock. I saw it when she at two o'clock, I just show up for the fight, do what God told you to do, she said, if you comply. I'm not worried about it, let's dig deeper, this is getting good if a man does not remain in me verse six, he is thrown away like a branch and withers, the men gathered them together and threw them into the fire and they burned.

He said that if you go alone, everything you have will wither, the man gathers them and catches them, and every time the men come close, you are in trouble because when the men execute what they want to do with you, they will gather you and catch you in the fire to burn you you will never want to fall into the hands of the mercy of men because men are ruthless men who are just as guilty as you will crucify you for doing what they already did, you don't You don't listen to what I'm telling you so you want to stay as close as possible to the hands of God because God is merciful.

God is kind. God is merciful. God is forgiving. God knows where to test you. God knows how to correct you. a difference between chest asthma and child abuse other people will abuse you god will punish you you want to stay in the hands of god you can't teach this if he stays in me and my word stays in you oh this is a gun load you can 'I can't handle this if he here is the deal here is a contract here is the clause if he remains in me and my words remain in you look at this he is a promise you will ask for what you want and it will be done oh that is a good lord yes it is a simple contract in 1 verse if you remain in me and my words remain in you not their word not the word of the gossip columns not the word of your enemies where it is great Obama's word not yours worried grandmother not the word of your insecurity not the word of your fears not the word of your childhood not the word of your pass if he forgives me and my word about it I will do whatever you want and it will be given to you good God Almighty do you understand the power What did God say if you stay for a long time? enough I will give you enough power so that you can have what you say you can ask for what you want and it will be done for you it will happen because you said how could God give so much power he said I didn't give it to him you when you were a baby I made you stay I made you stay mature I made you stay if I had given it to you early you would have asked me for someone else's husband and I gave it to you early you would have coveted someone else's church and I gave it to you early you would ask for something you can't have, but I thought about it, but I told you that I could trust you with a power.

It could free you to another language of fun. It could free you to another level of thinking and dreams. Could. I give you the kind of power where you can ask for whatever you want and it will be given to you if you think that is enough to blow your head off your shoulders, if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you will have whatever you want and it will be given to you. will give I don't have to pay for it it will be given to you I need I don't know who I'm talking to right now I don't know who I'm ministering to right now I don't know I don't know what you're going through right now, but the Lord is saying that you've finally gotten to a place and a a level of maturity in your life where you can now ask for whatever you want.

You have enough abiding word in you and I think that I think the real mystery of this text is that if you can get the word abiding in you, it will change what you ask for. Oh, everyone listen to what I'm saying, if you don't get enough word in you, you'll ask okay. to the flesh but if you receive enough word in you it will change what you asked for it will change the desires of your heart it will change what you value in your life it will change what you care about he said if he abides in me and my word abides in you you will ask for what you want and you will will be given God said I will give it to you you will not even have to work for it I will give you houses that you did not build I I will give you a vineyard that she did not grow I will give it to you if you remain in me and my word remains in you you will have whatever your will and should I wish you believed it so you wouldn't tear yourself apart to believe it.

I dare you to take that scripture, reach for it, hold it and put it in your bosom and walk with it all week saying that if he remains in me, I don't care and you should ask what you will feel bad. to me and my word remains in you you must respond if you remain in me and my concern in you you will ask what you want and you will be given that word that penetrates your heart it will change you it will change your path you think it will change your way of living it will change your way reality will even change what you want it will change what you ask for things that I would ask for 20 years ago I don't even want it today Oh Lord don't bring that today I change my mind I change my heart I changed my spirit that wouldn't give me the joint where I thought it would give me joy that It gives me joy now I have grown to another level in my life if He remains in me and my words remain in you.

You will ask for what you want and it will be given to you. Everyone called me. We were all locked up. You know, the whole city here in Dallas is locked down, locked down, locked down. and everything and all the young people were going crazy they were saying oh I can't stand this house it's driving me crazy I'm about to lose my mind so I understand I probably would have felt that way too when I was your age it's about maturity, you calm down, you just You call them, you just sell, it is what it is, it's the difference between young people, have you ever been to the hospital?

Young people come to visit you. Oh, friends reading tonight, not that it is more comfortable, but for older people than for young people, in fact, it is more uncomfortable, but when your priorities become more important for your convenience, you just settle in and walk around. the house in the hospital with these slippers on and you just walk around and do crossword puzzles. Lee, they have the blanket over their knees because they won't leave until you let them. Young people come in and look at you, they order pizza in the waiting room to surprise them with the last slice of pizza they have left.

See you next time. I'm praying that you love your mommy there, it doesn't mean they don't love you, they haven't reached the place of maturity where you can lock in maturity, it does something for you, it makes you lock it in, I understand this house. ma I'd rather be in the house for three months alive than running through the streets dead in a week yes lord glory to God I stay in the house I extend the house let me live I stay in the house tell it to someone then he says If I ask you what you want , they will be done under you and I am ready to dance because now I am beginning to understand that the power of life and death is in my tongue, then I can speak the word and the mountain will be thrown down. come in and see that everything that I desire when I pray, I believe that I have received it and I will have it, that I can talk to the mountain and the mountain can move, that I can talk to the lame man who is saying take up your bed and walk then I could speak the word and the power of God will move to life iku my maiden arrived Lazarus come out of your great extend your dry hand suddenly I recognize that I can speak how wide and can happen in my life and I am ready to shout I am ready to shout in verse seven and then verse eight comes up and says don't shout first parents go shout first verse eight says here is my glorified father listening can you imagine God being happier than you about your prayers being answered God says I am happier than you here is my glorified father I have to get this back first Again, here is my glorified father because you bear a lot of fruit, then you will be my disciple.

Listen and how your dad feels about you, he puffs out his chest when your prayers are answered. Here is my glorified father because you bear much fruit. God is happy for you. For all of you who are seeing much fruit in your lives, do you know that God is happy for you? God has his chest out. God is proud of you. Why is that not enough? Why do you need everyone to applaud you when God says I? I am applauding for you here, my father is glorified because she will bear much fruit, so you will be my disciples as I close this word today.

I want you to understand this and I want you to understand it in your spirit and in your heart. God's heart is oriented towards you being fruitful, he wants you to prosper in all your ways, he wants you to have a supernatural increase, he wants you to be abundant throughout your life, I am not just talking about abundant money, health forabove abundant peace. joy everything you need God wants to happen in your life but before he can give you things God is not in your life to be Santa Claus he wants to teach you how to be stable that's why today we are talking about the union between stability and fertility I know that we live In a society that teaches that one thing has nothing to do with the other, but to be truly fruitful you have to be stable, if you are growing plants and you keep moving them from one room to another, the plant will grow. dies if you want the plant to bear fruit you have to leave it in one place and leave it alone and water it right there if you are going to put it in the kitchen window you cannot move it from the kitchen window to the bathroom window to the attic to the basement to the basement and back to the one no no no no no no the union between stability and fruitfulness means that my feet will be planted in the house of the Lord and I will flourish in the Kirk rooms of my god and my brothers and sisters say we close today I want to pray for I'm not praying for you to be famous I'm not praying for you to be discovered I'm going to pray For you to get a mansion on the hill I'm not praying for you to get a Rolls Royce.

I'm praying that you get to the point in your life where you are stable, stable when the wind blows, stable when it doesn't. It doesn't blow stable in the rain stable in the flood stable in the fire just stable because if you can be stable remember what this old man tells you God would make you fruitful if you could stay there and do what he told you long enough. I will give you fruits in your life and I know you are raising a child, they seem so ungrateful and unappreciative, but keep doing what you are supposed to do and be stable, you can't control the other person, you can only control yourself and if you are stable, it will bear fruit for you, it may not bear fruit when you want, it will offer itself in the way you wanted, but there is a union between stability and fruitfulness that will bless your life.

God just wants you to be stable like Cierro today, I believe in God, the length of his verse says that the father has loved me as much as ever. I loved you. Continue in my love, if you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my father's commandments and I fulfill them. I close. this first time tonight this is asking you stay in love stay in love with your Bible stay in love with your God stay in love with your faith stay in love with your family just stay alone stay and watch it gets hard sometimes I know and I move on your nerves sometimes I know, I know, I get it, I get it, but stay there, she says there's a reward, you feel blessed, he'll give you a piece.

Can I pray with you tonight? Those of you who have been fluctuating in here and everywhere the Word of God found you tonight and you say you know what I've been a little bit of everything and a lot of nothing and I just need to be, I just need to be stable, it would be my privilege to pray for Tonight, you think that God will take away that runaway spirit and that you will find the grace of simply being stable. Sometimes it's rejection out of fear, sometimes it's a feeling of inadequacy that makes us run all the time, but whatever you and I are.

I'm going to lift it up before God tonight and as a father as I bow my head tonight. I pray for believers around the world who need to hear the union between firmness, stability and fruitfulness and I pray right now in the name of Jesus. Some of us have never done it. We have been stable because we grew up in unstable environments, we grew up in unstable homes, we were moved from school to school and neighborhood to neighborhood and we had never seen anything stable before in our lives, but now we are being tested with stability and prayer.

God, that you would fill in the blanks, and dig out the footnotes, and strengthen the foundations, and make us stable, and I know that Lord, if you make us stable, he will make us fruitful there, as we need to be fruitful now, unless your people , as only you, can bless. him in the name exalted above every name the name of Jesus, I pray, there is a negative stigma that has been associated with mental health that you see there 24 hours a day, on top of all the other stresses that you have, what is it doing to that to our mind?

Human beings are not designed to be on all the time, sometimes we need to turn it off.
