11/7/14 --- POWER OF THE VINE (Portals of Prayer) But what happens when we are worn out from our spiritual tug-of-war with the sin in our lives? Once again, the failure to overcome ungodly habits makes us feel like hypocrites. for apart from Me you can do nothing, Jesus said, reiterating what we.ve been learning, we cannot conquer ungodliness on our own. but here, God grants another weapon---the fruit of the vine. We receive Jesus blood, as this very fruit, into our beings in Communion. His own true body and blood genuinely dwell inside us, connecting the branch to the Vine. Being thus grafted, we no longer shrivel up and wither in our sins, but we rely on the benefits of the blood of Christ to uphold us against temptation and cultivate good fruit within us. Precious Vine, remind me of Your very presence inside of me, battling sin and temptation in my life. Amen. (Scriptures John 15:5-8 Psalm 80 )
