John 15:I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in His love. 17 These things I command you, that ye love one another. 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

God is the Farmer , the earth is His field. Love is all about keeping God's commandments. Loving one another was and is keeping God's commandments. Jesus kept them and we are to keep them. The wide path is the world, if we are on the narrow path as Jesus said, the world will hate us.
satan has been very clever to whisper what love is. If we ever go outside of what Jesus explained what love is, we are in the world. This world of the evil one, whispers love is all about making ourselves and other feel good, being popular.

From the beginning public education has taught, we all want to be the most popular...Jesus teaches we will not be popular but hated. When what love is , was not longer the main subject in education , satan gained acreage. Do you ever wonder why in the last days true faith will be hard to find???

The Ten Commandments are no longer allowed on government properties. The Ten Commandments are no longer taught in public schools. satan knew the power of truth better than we did.
Bearing fruit was never how many people showed up in a church building. Bearing fruit was never how much money was in the offering plate.

Bearing fruit was how many Peter , Paul, James , Luke ,Matthew , Mark and John's where created.

“John 18:9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.”
“ Luke 23:31For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”

Jesus as He went to Cross worried about all the time to come of dead trees and branches. We can have nothing to do with the world , they could not and we can not. True love is seen at the Cross and in the lives of Peter and Paul that said no to the world.

1 John 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

Everything was about overcoming the wicked one...Everything was about the Word of God abiding in us... We where to always build and plant from Genesis to Revelation and never stray from the truth. We where to never learn from any other source. Who taught Matthew , Luke , Mark and Peter was to be Who taught us...They had to leave what the world taught and we have to as well.

“1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

Can you imagine what would happen if everyone stopped today and said ,I can only go to God's field of training... I can only plant God's seeds... The worlds economy will collapse but not why the world says....

Mark 8: 19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

Read Mark 8 with new eyes...
