“I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” [1]
“Christ makes me a new plant, one that is grafted on Him the Vine and grows from Him. I bear fruit in Him and through Him. This fruit is not mine; it is the Vine’s. Christianity is a new birth brought about by God’s Word and Spirit. When the heart is born anew in Christ, fruits will follow naturally.” [2]

Fruit Is From The Lord
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
