The Vine and Branches

By Prophetess Roberts May-9-2010 

I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.  Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].

Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

John 15:1-7 (Amplified Bible)

My Dream

As I slept the Holy Spirit of God gave me a dream. The dream I had was bright and vivid. In this dream I saw myself pregnant. My stomach was full and round. I was full term and so was another woman who sat beside me. Because we were so far along in our pregnancy, our family and friends stayed closed by just in case we went into labor. It wasn’t long before my bag broke and water leaked out.

Then the most unusual thing happened. Every time I had a contraction, leaves and branches that was connected to a vine inside my stomach flowed out my mouth. My pregnancy was an unusual pregnancy.  I gave birth to baby leaves and branches from my mouth. The baby leaves and branches were magnificent. I remember placing my hand on my stomach; I wanted to feel what was going on inside of me.  All I could feel were baby leaves, vines and branches, there were many. I remembered having many contractions in my dream, and the baby leaves, vine and branches flowed out my mouth continually like a well of living water. 

I remember reaching into my mouth and taking hold of the vine where the leaves and branches were connected. I saw myself in my dream pulling the vine from my mouth. As I pulled the vine from my mouth, my stomach began to go down but, the vine I was pulling seemed to be everlasting. The more I pulled, the more leaves and branches flowed out my mouth. 

The next day after I had awakened, I felt refreshed in my soul. A new anointing had taken place. I felt a sense of freedom and newness. Then the Holy Spirit of God spoke to me. He said to me, “I have placed My Seed in your belly, and you will speak hope and life to My People. Your Ministry will grow and prosper and bear much Fruit.

And I will curse those who curse you. And bless them who blesses you. And you my Daughter will speak those words that I will place in your mouth. And I will sit you above Eagles in high places. Be not afraid or fear what men can do to you. Neither be dismayed at their looks, for I am with you. I will never leave you or forsake you. And those who are for you are more than those against you!

Cry, Roar! Roar my Daughter, like a Lioness! Roar and cry out loud. Tell My People, that it won’t be long before I come back for My Church. Tell My People, I see their sins and they are great! They have no Respect or Shame in front of My Face. They no longer Fear Me. But there is coming a day, that they will have to stand before Me and the books will be opened!

I have planted a seed in your belly my Daughter and you will bring forth My words which are Life, Hope, and Strength. In you, I will do New things. In you, I will do Greater things. In you, I will pull down Kingdoms and rebuild Palaces.”

These were the words that The Holy Spirit gave me…..Amen! Amen!
