Our fruitfulness comes through abiding in Christ (see John 15:1-8). When we are
born again, Christ's Spirit comes inside us and makes us a brand new creation.
We also come inside of Him. We are "in Christ".  He abides
in us and we abide in Him.

You empower what you
focus on. If you focus on Christ's presence within, then you will empower His
life in you. You cannot bear fruit on your own. Your fruitfulness as a branch
comes from abiding in the vine. Jesus is the vine. His life flows into you like
sap does in a tree or like blood does in the circulation system of the body. He
is your life!  You have no life of your own!

Begin 2010 by making these decrees of truth: "Jesus, I
am in You. You are my life. You are my strength. You are my health and my
vitality. You are my wisdom and my sanctification. You are my righteousness and
my provision, etc."

The purpose of abiding is to wait on Him and listen for Him to
speak. I listen for Him to share His heart and desires. I make inquiry of Him
and journal what I believe He is speaking to my heart.

Jesus promised in John 15:7 that if I abide in Him and His words (the words I
receive in His presence) abide in me, then I can ask what I wish (according to
what He has spoken) and it shall be done for me. This is how fruit is created.
Fruitfulness and increase are birthed out of abiding in
Christ
