How Does Your Garden Grow?
MAINTENANCE!
Staying in the Spirit no matter what… that’s what is missing in the body of Christ…
WE HAVEN’T STAYED IN THE SPIRIT!
When you have a yard, a vegetable or flower garden, you have to keep up with it, watering, weeding, fertilizing, looking for invasion of pests and getting rid of them.
It’s called MAINTENANCE!
When you let it slip, the weeds will take over and your garden will suffer and could die. Because weeds require water as well as what you have planted, they will suck the life out of your garden.
How’s your garden that was begun in Christ?
Have you maintained it, tended it continually, and watered it?
Are you staying fresh in the Spirit?
Have you let the Word of God continually flow, that living water, to nourish and feed your spirit and soul?
Guard against the flesh, it will take over if you give it room.
Stay alert! Stay connected to His Spirit and you will be like a well watered garden, flourishing in the things of God, and all the while growing to maturity in Him… if you stay in the Word, in the Spirit, you will be well on the way to living in the full freedom that Christ purchased for you…
All because you tended your garden to allow the Word of God to take root and grow.
Stay with it Beloved, and trust in Him and He will bring it to pass. It’s about endurance now, staying with it, holding fast what you have already learned, and not straying from the truth.
Hold the Word as dear, for it sets the highest standards of life, because it is from God. Bathe in the Spirit. He is the vine and you are the branch, let His life blood flow through you.
He says today, “Keep up the maintenance, keep pressing in, keep seeking Me, for there I will be found… DILIGENCE!
Don’t stray way. Hold the fort down. Don’t give in. I AM with you. Too many have given in and they are running scared, running all around, but not to Me.
STAY CLOSE, DON’T STRAY AWAY! Keep focused on Me. I AM for you not against you. It’s not in a man to come on his own, He must be drawn by My Spirit.
If you hear Me just come. You must forsake all to follow Me. I must have your allegiance. You must have My truth.
Don’t listen to what others say, but what I say. Get it through your head, YOU MUST KNOW ME!
Settle into My Spirit, it’s a calling. I call and you follow. I choose. You are mine, now come.
STOP WITH ALL THE QUESTIONS!
You know the truth, follow it. It is written for you, My Word, so there will be no question as to direction.
It comes by revelation, by My Spirit, but if you are not seeking you will not find.
You must come, you must choose to follow Me. I AM waiting for you to come. Too many things going on to hear Me, you must slow down.
Time is passing quickly now, we are racing to the end. Do you feel it? Go diving into My Spirit, in the deep things of God, there where My truth becomes full.
Trust Me with the process, let Me do it in you. JUST SUBMIT. The way is narrow and few find it.
It is of My Spirit. Flow with Me in My river of love. It is all there for you. I have given you My all, NOW COME.
DO YOU HEAR ME CALLING?
COME, COME, COME… Walk in My Spirit. He is all you need. You make it so hard, just come, JUST COME.”
Jesus.
Will you answer the call afresh today?
It is by My Spirit saith The LORD.
“Now The LORD is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of The LORD is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of The LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of The LORD,” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (KJV).
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fullfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would,” Galatians 5:16-17 (KJV).
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God,” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 (KJV).
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness,” Romans 8:6-10 King James Version (KJV).
God Bless You, you are in my prayers
