 A. Jesus came to restore us to fruitful and productive life in him = john 19: 30 / 1 Corinthians 5: 7/ 2 Corinthians 5: 17 / Colossians 2: 10
 The ultimate sacrifice of our lord and savior Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary is
 1. HolisticÂ
 2. Eternally PermanentÂ
 Â
 Â
 • Note: 2 Corinthians 5: 17 / Colossians 2:10
 • note " you are a new creation " not " you will be "......you are complete or full in himÂ
 Â
 Â
 •  followers of Christ should discard the thought that " one day i will be and begin to live with the thought that in Christ " i am "
 B. It is your choice to be fruitful...
 Â
 Â
 1. Stay fully connected to the vine = John 15 : 1 - 5.
 • stay fully connected to his word
 • stay fully connected to the holy spiritÂ
 • stay fully connected to your personal instructionÂ
 • stay fully connected to your assignmentÂ
 • stay fully connected to your placementÂ
 • stay fully connected to your assigned spiritual authority.Â
 Â
 C. Stay holy unto the lord = holiness unto fruitfulnessÂ
 D. Discern distractions in your life
 Â
 Â
 1. Human distractionsÂ
 2. Situational distractionsÂ
 3. Spiritual distractionsÂ
 Â
 Â
 E. Examine (with the help of the holy spirit) your inherited natural foundations = psalm 11: 3/ psalm 82: 5 / Romans 11: 16
 foundations abort, delay, fight and frustrate fruitfulnessÂ
 characteristics of foundationsÂ
 Â
 Â
 1. Inconsistencies of the good ie good things don’t last in your life / testimonies don't stay long
 2. Consistency of the negativesÂ
 3. Cycles and patternsÂ
