If your life bears some fruit, God will intervene to prune you – the Vinedresser's secret for more is…less. Are you ready for a troubling truth that, once grasped, will free you to view the trials you're now facing in a new light? Even change how you feel about them and reward you with a beautiful harvest for God? Then you're ready for the next secret of the vine. Recently, I read a gardening report that explained why: Because of the grape's tendency to grow so vigorously, a lot of wood must be cut away each year. Grapevines can become so dense that the sun cannot reach into the area where fruit should form. Left to itself, a grape plant will always favor new growth over more grapes. The result? From a distance, luxurious growth, an impressive achievement. Up close, an under-whelming harvest.
Dr. Barnett explains in this sermon the painful but necessary pruning that our Father does to ensure a greater harvest of fruit. May you be as fruitful as God intends!
