Day 7 - bear fruit







John 15:5

"Yes, I am the vine: you are the branches.  
Those who remain in me, and I in them,
will produce much fruit.  For apart from me
you can do nothing."

One thing I know about prayer and fasting -is
the end results will be fruit.  Your encounter with
God over 21 days will for sure bring results
in your life - and the results is what Christ
calls "fruit".

In our book study during the fast "One Month
To Live" - the author says:

"He (God) wants you to fulfill the ultimate purpose
for which He created you, to be as fruitful as
possible."

What an amazing thought!  God's design for you -
is to be fruitful.  He wants your life to matter to
others.  Isn't that what it's all about for the cause
of Christ.  That what you say - what you do - how
you react - what you decide - how you live your
life - is beneficial (fruitful) for others.

The only way this can happen is being connected
to the vine - that is Jesus.  Our true source for
growth.

Stay connected to Him.
