KEY POINTS

1. The Holy Spirit as the Motherboard. The Holy Spirit (Ema) serves as the secure attachment for the human person. Establishing this is essential to move away from people-pleasing behaviors toward both God and others.

2. Pruning as Self-Love. Pruning is not mainly about removal; it is a form of self-love that rids of extra structures and old assignments that are no longer needed for what you and God are building. This allows for internal alignment, energy protection, and greater fruitfulness.

3. Spiritual Pregnancy and Prep. Faith involves setting up the baby room by investing time, energy, and resources into a vision that is not yet visible or profitable.

4. Protecting and Nourishing Visions. Just as a pregnant woman must eat healthily, individuals must nourish their prophetic word with a healthy diet of the Spirit, worship, and community. If necessary, distance yourself from anyone who send shades to thwart or kill the new dream life.

5. New Wineskins. Assignment shift seasons often require a change in identity and a rejection of old identities that contain or limit growth. This updates one's vision of both God and self to match the bigger assignment God has provided.

6. Gravity and Attraction. Gravity is the attractive force that occurs when one is in balance (e.g., sow/rest/reap). By eliminating codependency and people-pleasing in relationships, we develop the gravity to attract what God intends rather than having their energy sucked dry.

7. Taking Ownership of Spiritual Connection. Maturity involves moving from a newbie state—where others pray for us—to a place where we take responsibility for connecting with own feelings and engaging in our own prayer time.

8. Exchange Rate Imbalances. Sowing into immaturity or disrespect by babying others creates bad exchange rates. This attracts energy vampires, whereas maintaining boundaries attracts mature, hungry people, resulting in win-win synergy.

9. Interdependence in the Body of Christ. Every part of the body cannot function or be healthy without the other parts.

10. Experimentation over Perfectionism. True spiritual growth involves failing forward through steps of faith. We must move away from religious formulas toward a maturity mindset, we grow in the spiritual authority with Jesus, even if mistakes are made along the way.

FRUITFULNESS

I am more pleased with you than you can know, whether or not that is dramatically apparent.

Just as life silently pulsates throughout the vine, My presence always resides within you.  Abiding in Me enables you to branch further out, flourishing more beautiful fruit of the Spirit. 

In those necessary times of extended rest, remember that you are only ever pruned to be free for more abundance.  Never let condemnation touch you.  All are purified by living in Me.

Entrust Me with the rhythm of the seasons and release any reluctance to remove dead branches, which opens one to invisible theft.  Permit Me to re-route resources, so that you don’t strain toward your future. 

There is forever mercy in My love, which is always ready and eager to start again with you for a greater yield.    

Leave the timing and results to Me.  I always have your best interests in mind, and am primarily seeking a pure consent to flow through your heart.  Continue to be honest and diligent to surrender to Me and you will be surprised how much of Heaven’s energy naturally flows your way. 

”Your Father removes every branch that bears no fruit, while every branch bearing fruit he prunes a so that it will be even more fruitful.”
John 15:2
