John 15:1-11<\/span>King James Version (KJV)<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

15\u00a0<\/span>I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.<\/span><\/p>\n

2\u00a0<\/sup>Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n

3\u00a0<\/sup>Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.<\/span><\/p>\n

4\u00a0<\/sup>Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.<\/span><\/p>\n

5\u00a0<\/sup>I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

6\u00a0<\/sup>If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.<\/span><\/p>\n

7\u00a0<\/sup>If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.<\/span><\/p>\n

8\u00a0<\/sup>Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.<\/span><\/p>\n

9\u00a0<\/sup>As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.<\/span><\/p>\n

10\u00a0<\/sup>If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.<\/span><\/p>\n

11\u00a0<\/sup>These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According the verse 7, if my interpretation is correct, if we do God’s will and allow Jesus to live in our hearts, then whatever we ask, it will be done for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’m doing my best to do this, but not good enough, I know.\u00a0 There are times when I am asked to give but I am afraid to give because I’ve got debts and bills and doubts about having my own needs and those of my family met.\u00a0 There are times when the experience I had in solitary confinement fades from my memory, and I begin to doubt God and my salvation and that of the world and lose all hope.\u00a0 I want my faith to be absolute, to never forget that moment and carry it with me through the rest of my life, and that is my most urgent prayer to God.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After that I ask for healing for my children that I’ve harmed and healing of our relationship and the capability and opportunity to express love properly, as God intended.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And I have a selfish prayer, to be able to live in a home that the roof doesn’t leak, drive a car that doesn’t have a check engine light constantly on, and be able to pay down my debts so creditors aren’t constantly nipping at my tail.\u00a0 And yes, I’m aware that there are people that don’t even have a roof, or a car, or even a bicycle, and I pray for them too.\u00a0 I would like to be in a position to be able to materially help them but that seems impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
