During the night before Jesus was arrested, He spent hours teaching His followers several things dear to His heart. Abiding with Him spiritually was one of the lessons He wanted them to remember.

He used an analogy of a branch abiding in the vine, without which a branch will wither and not produce that for which it is intended.

We are those branches. Jesus is the vine. Almighty GOD tends to both. And from this state of being close to the Son of GOD, we are promised a life of benefiting others, we are promised joy, and we are promised answers to our prayers when they are prayed in keeping with Jesus's nature, power, and authority.

The question is, how do we abide?
