Pruning is a necessary part of the Christian life, but pruning is not fun...often it's painful. It's easy to think that if God is pruning us that we're being punished for something, but according to John 15, pruning doesn't mean we're doing something wrong...it's actually an indication we're doing something right. In today's video ,we're going to look at John 15:1-11 where Jesus declares "I am the True Vine" to understand the pruning process in the Bible. I'm also going to share some personal examples of pruning from my own life. If you are going through a pruning season, know that God is pruning you to PREPARE you for MORE fruit. 🌿

One way God is calling me to abide in Him today: each time a worry pops into my mind, turn it into a prayer. This reminds me I don’t have to figure everything out or carry everything on my own…apart from Him I can do nothing. 🤍

My husband and I were due with twin baby boys in early October of this year. At a 16 week appointment, we discovered both boys no longer had heartbeats… it was devastating.😢 it has been 5 weeks since I’ve delivered them but the Lord has been so near and comforting! Our hearts mourn still to this day but I can’t even begin to explain the way He has sustained us and overwhelmed us with peace. Truly, our community has outpoured us with kindness because of how kind He is. Just like you mentioned in this video, I’ve found myself so drawn to His Word and praying more than I ever have in my lifetime because of this season we are currently walking. His Word has brought us hope, love, and peace! We have hope that He will redeem this situation, in His timing and by His will. I’m thankful for this video this morning. 🫶 My soul, find rest in God. My hope comes from Him. Psalm 62:5

Been in a confusing season for almost 7 years now, I still got no answers on what I should really do, though I try to press into God, deep down I know that I am still afraid and anxious. One day I feel like I am getting better but there are times like this when I keep on thinking that what has been going on with me for the last 7 years (the confusion, the losses, the missed opportunities, etc.) are all because I was not brave enough, I did not make the right decisions, now I am afraid that I still do.

@marciejones6873 16 дней назад

Learn the lesson. Self idolatry. You want to know why you get hurt, you get offended easily. You get upset, and frustrated. Because you idolize yourself. You think you’re important. You think you deserve better. You think you need to be respected. You think you need to be noticed. You think you should be never ignored. You’re giving yourself importance. You’re putting yourself above God, and that’s why we get easily hurt, and offended. It’s our Pride! We’re all like this. There’s no denying it. We’re all like that. Some worse than others. We’re all born of a sinful nature. The number root cause of sin is Pride. We can idolize things in our lives. The love of money, etc. The worst kind as I said when you put yourself on a throne. God is humbling you my sister in Christ. Until you realize you’re nothing. Until you come to that zero point in our lives that we recognize we are nothing without God. We will never grow spiritually. I’m having my aha moment with God. He will break you until he gets the pride out of the way. Die to yourself daily. That means letting everything you desire and dreams for his will. Humility is key! Self denial, pressure to fit in, letting go of control, loneliness. The key to seeing God work in your life. Is to commit to being open to the changes He wants to make in your heart.

@shawnamorales4930 17 дней назад

Yes this pruning season is the most painful. A family division for over 2 years. But I keep pressing into my Savior because he is my only comfort and shield of protection against the enemy that keeps telling me what I'm going through must be my fault. Lately I've had some very busy days that I haven't had my usual morning prayer time that can be worshiping him for an hour or so. We are renovating a new home and now starting a new job in July. God knows that it is heavy on my heart that I don't want to lose precious time with him. I think listening to you Kaci and having my ODB devotional every morning is just enough to start my day. A little is better than nothing. I also know no matter the painful pruning he doesn't want me to face each day alone.😊🙏🙏🙏

@kaitlynn2368 16 дней назад

After two years of extremely hard financial states, we have now more than ever learned to trust God with our finances and belongings. He blessed us today with a new home. We know this was his plan all along, to help us let go and let him move in us.

@ashleynicole2963 17 дней назад

Hi Kaci! I am going through a lot of life changes, new job, newly engaged, and starting a new season in my young adult life. For some reason, I’m not feeling distressed or anxious, but I feel like God is growing me in a lot of areas. I think God is keeping me from going crazy hahaha😅But yeah, He’s growing me in areas of my relationships with people. And mostly getting closer to the Lord. I’m depending on Him in a new way, now that I am engaged especially and preparing for marriage.

It's good because I desired (and prayed about this) to have a want/desire to be in the Word everyday so I could draw closer to Him.

One way God is calling me to abide in Him today is by staying consistent in my relationships with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Being an encouragement to them and live as the family we are and one day will continue to be. It takes time, intentionality and vulnerability but, I believe, in the end it would produce great fruit in us.

Just mins into this video, this is what came to from the Lord!! Be not discouraged, when pruning happens that means there are good fruit present. How can you prune what’s not there? So we can’t be discouraged when we fell like we are failing in a certain area in our live. God is re-kneeing us to be better at that particular fruit. For example: patient, we might have patients, but God wants us to become better at it. ❤

I seek to comfort and motivate him, while he seeks to rejoice with me and praise our Father for his goodness.

@pamelarenee8314 13 дней назад

This was very helpful and encouraging! Our small group has been on the topic of suffering and we talked about this yesterday! Personally I remember a wilderness season in my walk with the Lord where I was doubting my salvation. I was in this season for weeks and it felt so painful, lonely and scary. I couldn’t feel His presence and I tried my best to keep reminding myself of His word. Gods delay in answering my prayers to bring me reassurance ultimately led me to trust that I am His child when He finally brought me peace and joy once again. If He has answered my prayers quickly, I wouldn’t have grown and built perseverance that I needed. God gives us what we need ❤️

Ah, this one is a good video. I asked God for a woman to wife earlier this year, and got several confirmations… but with 'wait' & 'rest'. (I'm not sure I really know _how_ to wait, or rest.) Then, as I prayed for patience, and faith, and her everything just seemed to fall apart. I just had my 42nd birthday, and felt my virginity and loneliness and unwantedness just burst overflowing: it feels like it will never come, like there is no light at the end of the tunnel and everything will be perpetually dark and cold. It absolutely feels like punishment, like maybe all my prayers and self-control/-discipline were all a waste, which I *know* is not the case… but the feelings are very intense. Please pray for me, and if anyone needs prayer just pop a reply to this comment.
