INDEPENDENCE WITHOUT RELATIONSHIP
The kingdom of heaven is founded upon loving Me and loving others. The spirit of the world builds itself with labor and little relationship. It is impossible for one to succeed without relationship in Me. Using My gifts independently, results in striving, soul power and witchcraft. Using My Word to build one’s own kingdom, is also independence without relationship. Asking Me to bless one’s plans without receiving the plan from Me, and then abiding in Me to bring them to pass, is also without relationship.
Mark My Word that your knowing Me and My knowing you is a 2-way street whereby communion in abiding in the Vine is the only way to produce lasting fruit. Fellowship with the world is enmity with Me. Whatever is in My people’s lives that is not abiding in Me will be cut off and burned.
Matt 7:21-23 NKJV
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
John 15:1-8 NKJV
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
“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. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
1 John 1:6-7 NKJV
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
