Special Broadcast: “Every Tree that Produces Fruit — and every Tree that Doesn’t.”
The Process of God and the Inevitability of the Call (John’s Ministry)
There is a time to “expect fruitfulness” in our mature lives in Christ, a time to examine the works in our lives, and every branch that bears fruit it PRUNED –so that it can bear more fruit. Tonight I share that we must be willing to go under the master’s hands and even allow our spiritual branches to be cut back, so that we can be even more BOUNTIFUL in the things of God. I bear my own pruning time and how I must continue to be “a voice crying out in the wilderness” in even this… If you have ever been though such a season as this, it can feel as though you are dying — yet we must lean on Him and trust God EVEN THE MORE, knowing that He is the Potter and we are the clay. He knows the way that we must take. Though the grass withers and flower fades (in our flesh we will get weary) but the WORD OF THE LORD will abide forever! Behold the Lord will come with a strong hand for His people! God will judge according to the seed and talents that He has given – because He is looking for increase and multiplication. Our lack of fruit is actually a lack of FAITH and a form of disrespect to the greatness of our God. The unprofitable servant is therefore cast into “outer darkness.”

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight [b]in the desert
A highway for our God.

And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made [c]straight
And the rough places smooth;
5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

And [d]he said, “What shall I cry?”
“All flesh is grass,
And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field.

But the word of our God stands forever.”

He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ [2] and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
