Dream

I woke up at 2 AM this morning from a dream that had. This had to be from the Lord. I say this for several reasons. I rarely know anymore that I dream at all. If I do remember a dream, it is spotty, just bits and pieces of it. This one I remembered clearly.

I was talking with someone and they were explaining to me how the body of Christ is like a human body or my body. All the body parts have a certain function to do. If a part of the body gets sick, the doctor will prescribe medicine to try and make it well. There are times though when a member gets sick in such a way that there is nothing left to do but to cut it out, in order to save the rest of the body.

Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches

    ¹ “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ² Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He ^[a]prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. ³ You are already^[b]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit ^[c]of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ⁸ My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ^[d]prove to be My disciples.⁹ Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. ¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
