The Word is God’s pruning knife. Jesus says, “Ye are already clean, because of the word I have spoken unto you.”

It is the honest, healthy wood of the vine that has to be cut away.

The word comes with Divine authority to search and test our life.

Every Branch in Me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away.

And My Father is the Husbandman.—JOHN 15:1.

ALL earthly things are the shadows of heavenly realities
