pruning fruit trees

READING FROM “JESUS IS ENOUGH”

  1. (Jesus: ) Any who read these words with open hearts and minds, desiring to be filled with My answers and to be rewarded with this increased closeness to Me, it will be given them. I love you for your love for Me and I am very thankful to you for asking Me to speak on this subject.
  2. I am nigh to them that are of a broken heart‚ and I give grace to the humble. What this means is that there is a special closeness that is given to those who are humble and desperate for Me. And this humility and desperation is born most often in those who have hit bottom and are clinging to nothing else in life but their love for Me and their desire to live in the spirit and partake of Me more fully. This is a special gift given to them, the honey that only comes forth after the squeezing. 
  3. What usually happens after these hard choices and deep sorrows is a sense of pure joy and happiness of the soul. You know that you have made Me very happy by doing the right thing‚ and you want to continue bringing that joy into your life by serving Me in whatever way I want to be served. You think so little of yourself and almost exclusively about Me and what My will for your life is. MB: A pretty simple formula, we are the servant; He is the master. We bring joy into our lives by serving Jesus. It is our pleasure to serve Him, waiting by His side for His instructions.
  4. I can use you greatly in this state. I can pour My love through you to the world and upon your brethren. This is the state I see that you desire to reach and to permanently maintain–useful to Me, but specially in love with Me, specially broken and yielded, specially desirous of My plan for your life, without reservations and without the barriers of self and your own plans.
  5. My loves, there is no testimony without a test, no crown without a cross, no victory without a battle‚ and it is precisely through the difficulties and breaking and hard times that I bring into your life that you are able to achieve this special union with Me. This is the fruit I desire to bring about through the purging that I bring into each one of your lives. If you find that you are often not in this state of “Jesus is enough,” then the answer is that you haven’t yielded to the purging and the breaking that I am trying to bring into your life so that you can bear this special fruit. MB: Every year the fruit tree must be pruned before it can be ready to bring forth the new-season fruit. Likewise we should desire pruning because we have learned that a more bountiful harvest will come of it.
  6. That is the answer, plain and simple. Only through sacrifice, yielding, breaking, forsaking‚ and giving up your own will and plans can My plan of perfect joy, perfect dependence on Me, perfect love for Me, and perfect desire to do My will be perfected. This is the beauty for ashes (Isaiah 61:3)‚ and without something going through the fire, there is no other way. So why don’t we desire this plain and simple answer. The pain of pruning. But without the pain of pruning we will grow into this gnarly old tree with many branches (grandchildren) that shoot off in any which way direction, having lived a good care free life on earth, grown old and pass away.

Prophecy:

“If you were a fruit farmer, you’d fully appreciate what is being said here, because perhaps you would have seen an unkempt orchard or a fruit tree left to grow its own way year after year. Every year the tree bears less and less fruit. That fruit is higher up than the year before, thus more difficult to reach, and in time getting at the fruit becomes a really big deal. Eventually, the tree has to be cut down. But even a well-tended tree eventually has to be cut down and a new one replanted, just like the Family tree was cut down so that it could be replanted. The word used for the cutting down was “Reboot”. If the Good Farmer has a replanting plan, then the cutting down is essential. So there is nothing wrong with cutting down and burning the old trees. The Good Farmer plans to use the seed from the old tree or a cutting from the old tree, or if the old tree wants no part in the new planting, then He will bring another cutting or seed in from somewhere else. He wants His orchard to be fruitful year after year. By the way, I love grandchildren. But the goal for grandchildren is the same as for the old tree. And if you don’t follow the Good Farmer’s Almanac, then of course you are going to have a bunch of wild, worldly branches shooting off in any which way. And, well, you know the story; we are not trees, we are humans with free will and majesty of choice. We either choose to be pruned or to just grow wild and worldly. And if we choose the pruning, it is plain and simple: we are showing Jesus we love Him more than we love ourselves. It shows we are true servants, and as the Word tells us, those faithful servants will be chosen as brides and joint heirs.

It is a special honor to be chosen for pruning and even cutting down and burning. And if you know the purpose of this process –and anyone that has had the Words of David knows the purpose– you either choose to go through it or you choose to stay the day of purging. The purging will come eventually. The Good Farmer needs the ground you are planted on. He is an astute Farmer, good soil is precious and He needs to get the seed planted. It seems though, that not all the trees growing in the Family orchard responded well to the pruning and cutting and burning. Only a few have come back so far. Only a few are showing signs of recovery. The weeds and disease of resentment or bitterness have taken their toll. Yet in the end, these old gnarly trees will be cut down and thrown into the fire. We are but grass, here today and gone tomorrow. The pruning and purging process will never end, and it is not easy, as is brought out plain and simple in this letter. Could you imagine all of us going into the Millennium without this concept firmly set in our minds? The Millennium would end with the same fruitless trees as these past millenniums have produced.

Was that a good enough word picture? Were you able to understand the concept? Of course you were, and you don’t have to be a fruit farmer either. Someone said to me very recently that they don’t understand why people, and they are talking about Family members, can’t see what is happening. So many are getting around with their heads in the clouds, just getting on with their insular lives ignoring the writing on the wall. Well, if these kids here can see and understand all that the Words of David are saying to us, if these kids here can get their own prophecy that tells them what way to go and which direction is the way to the Celestial City, then it can only mean those people are either blind or rebellious. The same person told me he wasn’t sure how to introduce people to Mystical Bible, cause some of what is there is a bit “out there”. I told this person that they should lead them to the side of the pool and push them in. If they like the water they will keep swimming, if they don’t like the water, then they will get out and you won’t hear from them again. We are not looking for pool membership. There is plenty of water in the pool, but if it is too hot for some, then that’s okay. There are some that like the heat. MB is full of the Words of David and new New Wine, and all that Wine is about discipleship. It’s pretty plain and simple.”
