Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| How to Glorify the Father
In John 15:5, Jesus said that He was the true vine and we as Christians were the branches. Our responsibility is to bear fruit. Jesus explained that a branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it is connected to the vine. Then He goes on to say that neither can we bear fruit unless we are connected to Him.
In the same way that a tree limb withers away and no longer bears fruit when it is cut from the trunk of the tree, likewise without being connected to Jesus we cannot live.
Most people have seen an apple tree. An apple that is ready to eat hangs from the branch, ready to be harvested. But let me ask you this. Have you ever seen an apple growing off the trunk of a tree? No, of course not! That's because it's the job of the branch to bear fruit.
As Christians, we know that the fruit of the Spirit is goodness, righteousness and truth (Ephesians 5:9). An even more detailed description of the fruit of the Spirit is given in Galatians 5:22-23 where it says, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, [and] self-control." The fruit of the Spirit is the by-product of being a Christian that is connected to the vine.
The source of all goodness, righteousness, and truth is Jesus. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). Love, light, and life flow from the vine through us and into the fruit. In the fruit are seeds. The seeds continue to grow and multiply in the lives of others. When a Christian stays connected to Jesus and walks in goodness, the fruit produced can change the world.
Jesus made a very interesting statement in John 15:8 that is often overlooked. He said that the way the Father is glorified is by the abundance of fruit that grows from the branches. Walk in the fruit of the Spirit and glorify God.
"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" (John 15:5).
