β οΈ Remove the weedsβΌοΈ
πβοΈπ John 15:16-17 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
πΎπ Farmers and gardenersβ plant with great expectations.ππΎ Abundant harvest is their vision as they sow the seeds for crops and vegetables, fruit, or grains.

πΎπ But everyone who plants, even the most amateur gardener, soon discovers there are competitors for the soil’s nutrients…called WEEDS.
βΌοΈβ οΈ Weeds are ambitious, resilient, and relentless, and they will affect the harvest if not removed. Every farmer and gardener need a strategy to deal with weeds.

ππΎ We also want to be fruitful as believers, and so we need to “weed” our own gardens.βοΈ How would you identify the various “weeds” in your own plot of groundββοΈ What is sapping the nutrients which ought to be feeding your cash crop?
βΌοΈβ οΈ In this present spiritual climate weeds have ample opportunity.
βΌοΈβ οΈ The world is in such turmoil, the temptations so abundant, we need tremendous vigilance to pull up and clean out the useless thoughts, speculations, preoccupations, obsessions, and fears, which are multiplying like weedsβΌοΈ
These will choke and starve the fruit of the Spirit. πππππππ₯₯π₯π βΌοΈ Cast out fear. Pull it up at the rootsβΌοΈ
Let LOVE grow abundant and free. ππππΊππππΊ
Excavate your doubts and wash them away with the water of the Word.π¦βοΈππ¦
π Seek the Lord hard now in brutally honest confession asking Him to reveal and pull up your weeds at the roots.

ππΎ Your crop is far too precious and valuable to squander or be stunted by worthless weeds.πππππππ₯₯π₯πβΊοΈ Your Father intended you for an abundant harvest, thirty, sixty, even one hundred-fold. πππππππ₯₯π₯πDo not let the weeds steal any of itβΌοΈπππππππ₯₯π₯π
