Abide in Jesus and His Words, and it Shall be Done
“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7)
Stay connected to the power source!
When an electrical cord is plugged into the power source, the current flows freely, bringing light and energy to whatever it touches. But when it’s unplugged, everything goes dark. The same is true for believers—when we stay connected to Jesus, His life flows through us, producing power, peace, and fruitfulness.

To abide means to accept or act in accordance with. It means to comply, obey, observe, follow, keep to, hold to, conform to, adhere to, stick to, stand by, uphold, heed, accept, and go along with.
When you abide in Jesus—remaining close and faithful to Him—and let His Word take root in your heart, your desires begin to align with His will, and He promises that “it shall be done for you.”
Stay connected to the Source
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:4–5)
Apart from Christ, we can do nothing. But when we stay connected to Him, His life and strength flow through us. Fruitfulness is never forced—it’s the natural result of abiding.
Abide in His love and teaching
“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10)
“Anyone who goes too far and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God; the one who abides in the teaching, he has both the Father and the Son.” (2 John 1:9)
When we walk in His Word and obey His teachings, we remain in His love. Obedience is not a burden—it’s the bridge that keeps us connected to His blessings.
Therefore
Stay plugged in to Jesus! Let His words dwell richly in your heart. Talk with Him daily, walk in obedience, and you’ll find your prayers aligning with His purposes. When His life flows through you, fruit follows naturally—and His promises become reality.
“The one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.” (1 John 2:6)
