The Fruit of His Design

Our Father has made us one with Him in Christ. Because the Holy Spirit and power strengthens us there is nothing we cannot achieve. Christ means the Anointed One and He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power. If Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power then that is what is really strengthening us. The Holy Ghost and power is the One who enables us to do all things according to the Father’s will. That’s what we’re abiding in. Abiding in that which made Jesus the Christ. Remain, stay, find your final resting place in that which operated in Jesus that made Him the Christ. Abiding in Him will produce the fruit of God’s design. It is all about the fruit of His design that His working produces. We must abide in the working that produces the fruit of His design. Apart from Him we can do nothing. With Him all things are possible because we believe in and cooperate with His working. Man leans on their ability, in Christ, we yield to the working of the Holy Spirit that Jesus sent us with. We are the body of the Holy Spirit. We give a body for the working of the Holy Spirit to work through.

Mark 10:27
And Jesus looking upon them saith, with men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

With God all things are possible. Without Him we can do nothing, with Him we can do all things. With Him we produce His fruit. Remember Jesus said, “Without Me you can’t do anything.” So we can say the opposite, “with Jesus you can do all things.” “With,” that’s the key word. Without Me you’re not going to be able to achieve anything. With Me all things are possible. With Him the fruit of His design is forth coming, without Him no Kingdom results. Jesus said, I am the True Vine you are the branch. Then He also said, in John 14, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” So when Jesus said abide in Me, He is talking about abiding in the Truth, abiding in the Way, abiding in the Life. Well that’s the Holy Spirit and power too isn’t it? Can you separate the Holy Spirit and power from the Way? Can you separate the Holy Spirit and power from the Truth? Can you separate the Holy Spirit and power from Life? If you look up all three of these you will find scriptures connected to the Holy Ghost. Jesus said that; I’m the Way, the Truth and the Life no man is able to go to the Father except through Me. Jesus said, “I’m sending another comforter.” This means, one like unto Myself. So through the operation of the Holy Ghost and power all things are possible, thank you Lord! That is where God manifests Himself through that way. The Bible calls it the “New and Living Way.” That brings us into the holiest of places with God. The New and Living Way has been sanctified for us so we can bring forth the fruit of His design.
We’ll continue tomorrow.
May your day be filled with His presence.
