Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” John 14:6.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus is the way. Walk it! Jesus is the truth. Live it! Jesus is the life. Enjoy it!
Jesus would say, “Follow Me,” and that was the beginning of joy unspeakable filled with glory.
Jesus does not call you to trod a path of pain and loss, but a triumphal train of victory living in perfect wholeness (shalom) and gain. He won that for you. Honor Him by walking it out with Him.
“For I know the plans that I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans for shalom and not for evil to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11.
It is the way of fruitfulness, faithfulness, light, and love. It is pure joy not tainted by sin and guilt, shame and blame. It is the way of freedom. It is living as a new creation. It life as ONE with Me.
When you receive and follow Jesus, everything changes. It changes your nature, your destination, your position, and your benefits. It gives back your authority over the earth and the works of My hands. It teaches you your purpose, the plan for your life, the reward, and the power to do it.
Many people believe they are fruitful but they actually are not. Look at the fruit of their lives. Look at their children. Are they at peace and taught by Me? Are they fruitful?
How blessed is everyone who fears the LORD, who walks in His ways. Then you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, you will be happy and it will be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine within your house, your children like olive plants around your table. Behold, for thus shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD. Psalm 128:1-4.
Do your children know the joy of My love and how to hear from Me or did you just give them a set of rules? Are they living in sexual immorality? That means they do not know Me or that My Spirit dwells in them. That is a failure of fruit in your family and I look to you as the parent.
What have you done for the Body of Christ, that is, the Church. Do you even attend Church regularly or at least gather together with other believers to worship, pray, and break the bread of communion? Do you do the works of the ministry whatever job or business you do? I have made you ambassadors of My Kingdom with a ministry of reconciliation, to bring people into fellowship with Me in love.
Are you concerned about the salvation of souls? It is a desire of Mine to save all people and have them knowing the truth of My Word. And I ask you to reach out to the ones I send you.
Do you pray with Jesus as He intercedes before My throne as My royal priesthood, taking down strongholds on earth or are you too busy with things that do not really matter? Do you seek out and save the lost? Do you ever sing songs of praise or get up in the morning and worship? Do you ever read the Bible so you can get revelation of who I am and who you are? Do you turn to My Word when trials come against you for direction? Do you ever join with others in doing this? Or do you hide that you pray and hide your times of worship in embarrassment? Or are you too busy to fellowship with Me at all?
Are you aware of My presence? Of My Spirit in you? Do you bring others, especially your children as you raise them to know the joy of My love and how to converse with Me and receive direction? Do you sing praise songs with them? Or do you just nag them? Do you raise them on My Word? I mean you yourself, not trusting that Sunday school or a religious school is enough?
You may be wondering how to be fruitful so your life is not wasted and producing no fruit. Because if that is the case you are not living My plan and you do not know who you are or what you have in Christ. And I do long to give you your full reward.
Here is the truth of fruitfulness: Union with Me. You must be as one with Me in fellowship, purpose, and plan, empowered and led by My Spirit which I have poured into your heart through the hands of Jesus. If you will not grieve and quench Him but let yourself be filled with Him without measure you will be fruitful for He always guides you to the truth, which is My Word. And in union with Me with My life flowing into you by the Holy Spirit your spirit will produce the fruit of the Spirit like a branch on the vine of Christ. And what is that fruit?
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23.
Is this the fruit your life is producing? Would your co-workers, supervisors, friends, fellow students, fellow church members, your pastor, and family say that is what they see in you? Or are people avoiding you because you are unpleasant, a complainer, easily offended, rude, a tattletale, a gossip, a busybody, and answering back any comment or correction you receive with a return attack? Do you behave with your family and those you are familiar with as you behave with outsiders? Or are you more polite to strangers than your family?
Walk in the way, the truth and the life, that is walk in Christ, and you will be fruitful. His life was very fruitful. What is the way He walked? He walked in union with Me. He only said the Words I said and let Me do the works through Him once He said the Words.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. John 14:10-11.
In Jesus you have everything you need and an overflow for every good and fruitful work. Follow Him, your Teacher and good Shepherd, and walk in the way He goes.
He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher. Your ears will hear a word behind you, “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left. Isaiah 30:20-21.
His way is the HIGHway of Holiness. Put your mind above where I have seated you with Him at My right hand and come with joyful singing.
A highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks the way, and fools will not wander on it. No lion will be there, nor will any vicious beast go up on it; these will not be found there. But the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the LORD will return and come with joyful singing to Zion, with everlasting joy upon their heads. They will find gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away. Isaiah 35:8-10.
And that way has been prepared for you in advance.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10.
Walk with Me. Noah did and because I found one righteous man it saved all of you. One person walking with Me has the power to move nations and to save the world from destruction.
Jesus leads you in righteous paths, for in Him you have been made righteous by faith. Faith in My Word, for My Word is truth. My Word took flesh and dwelt among you and He is the truth. And when you have the truth and walk in it you will prosper and be in good health. My truth is a shield and buckler to you in a world filled with the lies of Satan.
And in the way and the truth you find the abundant life He came to give you. John 10:10. And it is eternal life that you find in Him and you find it in the truth of My Word and the way of Salvation (Yeshuah).
I love you and that is why I give you Jesus so you can live through Him. 1 John 4:9. Attach to Him by remaining in His Word and opening your heart to plant His Word in you for His Word is My Word, and then, rooted and grounded in Him pull up the love, joy, mercy and grace you need to be fruitful. Without Him you will not be fruitful, but in, with, and through Him you will bear much fruit. And your fruit will endure. Great peace, the double portion of Shalom, have those whose minds are stayed on Me for you have found the way, the truth, and the life that makes you fruitful, strong, and an overcomer.
