4. 1 "I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer.
THE MESSAGE
JOHN 15:1, 4-5
1 "I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer. 
4 "Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can't bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can't bear fruit unless you are joined with me. 
5 "I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing. 

5. “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
JOHN 15: 1, 4-5.
New King James Version
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 
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. THEN EXPECT TO BE FRUITFUL!
ABIDING: what are you doing to dwell with the Lord daily?
PRUNING:
Dead wood?
Challenge of giving up good fruit bearing activities for the best?
DECLUTTERING: things, thoughts, time?
THEN EXPECT TO BE FRUITFUL!
