A Branch of the Vine

by Billy Joe Daugherty | Uncategorized

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)

As a born-again child of God, you are part of Jesus. There is no separation between the branch and the Vine. They grow together and are viewed as one. The branch draws its life from the Vine. You are living in union with Almighty God, and His life is flowing through you now!

God’s strength has become your strength, and you never need to confess weakness again. To say, “I have no strength” is to deny your relationship with Jesus. All that He is has become yours. Your life is now in Him.

See yourself totally in Jesus. The branch doesn’t look to itself for life. It is entirely dependent upon the Vine. It could not exist without the Vine. You can’t either. Your confession should always be of what He is in you. Your confession should never be about what you were before you became a part of the Vine.

Feelings have no bearing on the authority of the Word. God’s Word is true regardless of how you feel. You may not feel as though you are connected to the Vine, but you are. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. (Rom. 8:39.) Be confident about the Word and who it says you are and what you have in Christ.

You have love, joy, and peace. You are more than a conqueror in Christ. (Rom. 8:37.) Abide in Jesus. Confess the Word. Think about who you are Him, and you will bear much fruit.

DECLARATION OF FAITH

Jesus, You are the Vine, and I am the branch. I am divinely joined to You. Your life is flowing through me. Everything You are, I am. Your strength, power, love, joy, and peace are mine. As a result, I bear much fruit.
