How To Bear Much Fruit

From: Bayless Conley Ministries

John 15:5 "I 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 we are connected to God and we abide in Him, Jesus says we will bear much fruit. "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, humility and self-control. (Galatians)

Think about a fruit tree for a moment. The leaves come out because the branches are attached to the tree. In the spring the branch will blossom, and from those blossoms comes the fruit. But if something happens and the branch is not solidly connected to the tree, it will probably not bear any fruit at all. There may be a few leaves, but the blossoms and healthy fruit will only come if the branch is fully connected.

God wants us connected to Him in every part of our lives. When that happens, our prayers will be in line with His desires, and we can be confident that He will answer.
