John 15:1-12 NKJV- \u201c\u201cI am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.\n\n\u201cI 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. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.\n\n\u201cAs the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father\u2019s commandments and abide in His love.\n\n\u201cThese things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.\n\nJohn 15:1-5 NKJV - \u201cI am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. \u201cI 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.\n\n1 John 2:6 NKJV \u2013 \u201cHe who says he abides in Him, ought himself also to walk just as He walked.\u201d\n\n1 John 2:10 NKJV \u2013 \u201cHe who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.\u201d\n\n1 Timothy 6:6 NKJV \u2013 \u201cNow, godliness with contentment is great gain.\u201d\n\nPhilippians 4:12-13 \u2013 \u201cI know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or want. I can do all things through him who give me strength.\u201d
