When the vine becomes a fruitless piece of wood among the trees

“Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest?” Ezekiel 15:1-2

When a vine no longer produces fruit, such as grapes, it is no longer any better than any of the wood of the trees of the forests. There was a time when the Israelites were producing fruit in the name of God. They were given the Ten Commandments and were very much different than all of the other nations around them. Today, the Jewish people are no longer productive for God and has become nothing more than a fruitless vine. They live by the Old Testament and have thrown out the New Testament (Gospel of Jesus Christ]. Only in Jesus Christ can there be fruitfulness in the Spirit of God, “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.” John 15:2

When the Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ 2000 years ago, they were no longer able to produce fruit as an offering to God. They became a fruitless vine no better than any other country or person who turns from God and rejects Jesus.

Today, the entity that gives people what to think, feel, do, and say prohibits the fruit of the Spirit from blossoming. This entity hardens the spirit to build a wall against Jesus Christ to enliven the image of the beast to live and speak through people. People in every city around the world conform to the non-spiritual global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

The fruit of the Spirit blossoms within our spirit as we live for God through Jesus Christ, “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
