In my dream (see first love part 1) the prophet said that ministry kept him busy and it was hard to find time alone with God. If we are to bear fruit for the kingdom it is crucial we learn to stay in the presence of God, and as the prophet in the dream said, "to walk hand in hand with Jesus." We cannot hope to offer life to people unless we are connected to the giver of life. So many ministries today do not offer life and have very little power to set captives free, and this truth is imperative if we are to be a garden that bears fruit. We are God's garden, and unlike the garden in the dream, we are called to bear fruit in season and out.
Jesus said that as we abide (remain, live, stay) in Him we will bear much fruit (John 15:4-5). Like a branch can only stay alive if it is connected to the tree, so we must stay connected to Jesus if we want to produce fruit for His kingdom. We remain connected to Him as we allow Him to richly dwell in us through His word and His presence. Dwell in Christ and let Him richly dwell in you. Jesus went on to say that He calls us friends. What makes two people friends is the fact that they spend time together and know each other.
Do you know Jesus?
I mean, do you know who He really is?
Do you know what is on His heart and what He is doing?
Friends become like each other as they spend time together . As we see more of who Jesus is we will become like Him. We will have His heart and know the things that please Him. It is then that we will bear fruit that lasts, in season and out. Jesus is the Son of God. He is supernatural. If we become like Him we will be supernatural sons of God as well, and that means that we will live lives according to the rules of heaven. In heaven the trees bear fruit all year. As we remain in the vine of fellowship with Christ Jesus we will have streams of water even in the desert, and we will bear fruit that remains.
