Follow the discernment of The Holy Spirit, and trust when God removes people from your life. You can not see the end, but God can. God and His perfect vision will lead you to your destiny, and He knows those around you who are destiny and dream killers.
Not everyone around you sincerely wants you to grow or succeed, and at the same time not everyone around you has the same drive or tenacity as you to grow with you. Allow God to prune them out of your life. Jesus tells us in John 15:1-16, that He is the vine and those of us who are in Him are the fruitful branches. Apart from Him you can not produce good fruit.
Therefore consider this: you are connected to Jesus, in His vine bearing good fruit because you follow Him, you obey Him, you trust Him, you worship Him; therefore He knows those who are along side you growing as thorns or thistles upon your branch. CUT THEM LOOSE!! They are not of Christ!
Trust the pruning of your Holy Father, and watch as your life continues to bear much fruit!
Peace & Love to You, in Jesus’ Name, Amen
John 15:1-16
““I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, 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, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 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. “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.”
