"I am the true vine, and my father is the vine grower. Every branch that is in me and that bears no fruit, he takes away ; and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it to bear more fruit. Already you are pure because of the word which I have spoken to you" (John 15: 1-3).
The Word of God has purified us. This is his glorious power. The Word is effective and God has the power to subjugate all things (Philippians 3:21). God wants to subjugate everything that in us does not give him glory and prevents us from moving forward. His Word is glorious, but as long as it remains written in the book, it produces nothing. But when it is practiced, it has the power to change us, and it does.
There are things that must change in our lives. God will not leave you like this, and you know it well. You know he's chasing you and you know he's talking to you. You know that God must treat you, prune you, and you know that you must accept and submit to yourself by saying : "Lord, take everything." I would like to write your name here and to say to you with love, by looking you in the eyes : "Dear ............., give to the Lord everything that prevents you from go further ! Abandon those things that tire you and that you do not want anymore !".
It's crazy to see all the things that we accept in our life and yet that hurt us so much. We accept rejection, anger, lack of forgiveness, fear, shame, lust, addictions, stagnation, selfishness, excess... Some accept them for years, others their whole lives . Here they are defeated, helpless, unable to answer the call of God. They do not treat them and do not let themselves be treated by God. These things must disappear, and they can disappear! You are not the worst person, far from it ! The Spirit of God has the capacity to transform the 7 billion people he has created and who live on the earth. We must cry out to Him with passion, and give up these things. Give up, and give up again.
