The Shift: Stay Clinging To The Vine
Sometimes your Kingdom message has to go through the “winepress” of the process so it’s a sweet message of grace and not bitter from offense. Yes, the grape will get crushed but will it have been ripe or not?
That’s what I share candidly about concerning this Kingdom living key above in this video taken from the beginning of a Social Media Prayer Time. My heart was very tender from some raging battles that have been on our front door for the past few months. We all go through these times where amidst the SHIFT, somethings really get SHIFTED and shaken! You can feel under attack, isolated, lonely, and alienated from everyone!
But this is the place to start as we go through the acronym for S-H-I-F-T:
That’s Kingdom Living Key #1- S -Stay Clinging to the VINE!
The start of the shift can be so basic, to stay clinging to the Vine-Jesus, yet so difficult at times.
What do I mean?
Well you can know the truth, but sometimes your own issues can trip you up just as the shift, the breakthrough, is so close.
It comes down to the simple question:
What are you clinging to? Is it the Vine or something or someone else?
If you look at John 15, right away the facts are laid out as simple as this:
Jesus is the Vine, and the Father is the gardner.
So you either abide, rest, cling to the Vine….or not. The pros and cons of not clinging to Him are obvious in the verses that follow in this Chapter.
Cling to Jesus, you are going to get pruned. Cling to something else and get no fruit, no manifestation of His Presence.
You can be fruitful and produce much, or stay stuck in lack, in fear, in doubt, in pain….
You can ask your Father for what you need and receive. Or you can stay away and get nothing. Worse yet, you can “be thrown away”, lost in your own choices leaving you in a cesspool of sin and agony.
As you stay clinging to Jesus and allow the overflow of the Source of that relationship fill your heart, you can have an ever supply of grace and love for others, as a messenger…as a mom, dad, servant of God! You can truly be a friend of God, rather than a slave to what other things/people you may hold tight to. You can be that Kingdom Messenger assigned to royalty rather than a pauper locked away in a prison of fear.
The final amazing truth is abiding in Jesus brings His presence as He sends the Holy Spirit to us as an advocate. The Holy Spirit can continue to speak to us so we can share–testify–about Him. John 15:26-27:
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—He will testify about Me. And you also must testify, for you have been with Me from the beginning.”
You can be a true Kingdom Messenger who speaks truth!
I am finding that when I truly cling to HIM with everything I have, I MUST let go of….Fear.
You might have something else to put there as a struggle for you.
I can choose cling to Jesus and reap the benefits of that intimate relationship, or stay stuck holding on to my fears leaving me in a prison of my own making. Sometimes I get tripped up in this process more often than I care to admit. When I come crashing down, God picks me up and SPEAKS to me. (What He has said is shared candidly in the video above for you. Watch now and see if YOU CAN relate!)
You may experience days where it feels like you take two steps forward and one step back.
But keep pressing in because the SHIFT is on…and you are meant to go forward.
I share more personal about this SHIFT and clinging to the Vine in the beginning of a Social Media Prayer Time above.
I feel you need a covering in prayer with this SHIFT so know you have a loyal group of Kingdom Prayer Warriors who meet every morning at 7:45am EST to lift you and your families up in prayer. Yes, we pray for other needs that are inboxed or called in, but are renewed in our hearts to lift up you.
You and your calling, vision, business, ministry are so important in this hour.
So, keep clinging. We’ll keep praying.
