Stir Up Your Fire!

🔥Bear Fruit and Stir Up Your Fire 🔥

John 15, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit.”

This verse proves that salvation can be lost. I’m sorry if that makes you mad but the truth often does make people mad. 😉You cannot be in Jesus unless you are saved, but if you bear no fruit this verse says God the father will cut you off.

I think all Christians should take this warning very, very seriously. Like God says in Revelation “if you are lukewarm I will spit you out of my mouth.” Don’t let yourself get lukewarm.

And the parable of the seeds shows that some seed takes root for a time and it grows for a time but then it dies. :( Those are people who get saved but then loose their salvation because they let it get lost.

This is a hard truth but I think it is very much a truth in the Bible. But rather then let it discourage you, let it make you determined to run the race with more vigor, tenacity and fire! Amen. Don’t let yourself get cold! Keep that fire burning inside of you! That fire of love for God and love for people!

Don’t forget how crucial it is to bear fruit! Jesus said, “If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” The fire in the Bible is generally always the description for hell, so that these branches that whither are thrown into the fire, or these people who get cold and lifeless are thrown into the fire, that is a very serious thing.

How could a person stop remaining in Jesus? Well they go from remaining in Christ, as in keeping their focus on Jesus, to turning their focus to the world and money etc. Jesus said “you cannot love both God and money.”

1 Tim. 6:10 says, “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 😢

Wandering from the faith means loosing salvation. So we might start out loving God and our fire is hot, but then we get cold, lifeless, lukewarm, dead and cold hearted when we start to love money more than God.

If your lips are starting to turn blue, go sit by a fire! If you can feel your soul starting to get cold, go sit by a fire! Such as my page :) I think my page is a pretty good fire to sit by every day for all y’all. 😉👍🏼🔥

Then Jesus said, “This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.” Paul often said “walk in a manner worthy of your calling.” If we are called and saved we WILL bear much fruit. If we aren’t bearing a lot of fruit we need to question whether we are really saved or not.

So are you saved for sure? Are you on fire? Or are your lips turning blue because you are cold and the fire has gone out?

When a bonfire is dying you can bring it back to life by stirring up the embers. So stir up the Jesus embers in your spirit! Put some more wood on your fire! Don’t let your fire die out! Amen.

May God bless you all! 😀 And please keep your fire burning and stay alive! :)
