While the world grows colder, harsher, and more distant, there is refuge and peace waiting and its cost has already been paid. Invest a few minutes with Fruit of the Vine podcast hosts Andrea and Ann Marie from the Charisma Podcast Network, and unlock the secret to lifelong grace, love, and mercy already waiting for you.

We must be born anew in the Spirit. God is a god of reason and purpose, but He’s especially a god of more. Everything God does is exquisitely designed to lead to the following logical step. In our fallen flesh-driven existence, we remain the drowning man batting away the life preservers repeatedly as they’re offered to us time after time. Only sinful flesh could spit irrationally in the face of its logical God offering His infinite lovingkindness. His reason is flouted by utterly unreasonable sin-infested flesh. But only what any of us ever may do for the cause of Christ will last with eternal value.

Lay down every frustration and guilt. Leave shame behind. Embrace His peace by your side. Get into His Word and stay there. Renew your mind and don’t stop. Reach for the place where your innermost being says, “Thy will be done, Father,” and follow David’s example in Psalm 139 hungering for the Lord so search you and show you anything not of Him and that you have not let go of yet.
