The Connected Life ~ Word




John 15: 1-8 

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 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. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 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.

5 “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. 6 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. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

This morning, while worshipping, the Lord showed me how disconnected many of us still are. He wants to address that, and so He immediately brought to my remembrance John 15:1-8. Then I heard these words from the Lord.


My children, I have said that I am the Vine and My Father is the Vinedresser. This depicts a people who are to be connected. I am even now in this time, calling My children to live the connected life. 

He asked several questions of me, and I believe that He may be asking them of you as well.

  • Are you still living disconnected?
  • Do you say you love Me but treat Me as though I am far off in the Heavenlies rather than that I am with you always?
  • Are you too busy for Me and making excuses for why you can't find time with Me?
  • Do you sense My presence when you worship and praise, or are you just singing a song?
Then He continued...

  • Would you watch that on your television if you knew I was sitting with you?
  • Would I enjoy the music you listen to and be singing with you?
  • Would you talk to your children or your spouse that way if I were sitting in the same room with you?
  • Would you vote the way that you do if I were standing with you at the polling place?
My children, I have said that I will never leave you or forsake you, yet many of you are still living on the fence. Spending time with Me on occasion but not really including Me in their daily lives, families, jobs, and more. 

I have filled you with My Spirit so that you will know that I am forever inside of you, and together we can change the world. I have given you My prayer language so that we are in constant communication and the enemy does not know what you are speaking to Me about. I sent My Spirit to comfort, but also to be your teacher.


1 John 2:27

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

My children, in this time it is of the utmost importance that you stay connected to the Vine. You will need to hold on to Me, and I say don't let go because things will shake even more violently in the days to come, and I am calling you to be like Mary in this time. I love each of you but I have clearly shown you in Scripture that Martha was far too busy and worried about things in the natural. Had I not stopped her, she would have missed her visitation entirely. I adore you, My children, but you must know and understand that it was Mary who chose the better part. 

When I finished typing this out, I was reminded of one of my favorite songs called 'You Won't Relent,' which I have added a link for so that you can listen to it. I will add the words here below that came to me right away.

I don't wanna talk about You
Like You're not in the room
Wanna look right at You
Wanna sing right to You

Ask yourself a few more questions, beloved. Do you live your life treating Jesus as if He is a million miles away, or do you understand completely that He is ever with you and even indwells you by the Holy Spirit? Is it time to make some changes in your prayer time and daily lives? Jesus is not only in the room with whatever you are doing, saying, watching, or listening to, but He wants to have such a relationship with you that you know He is there and that you look right at Him and talk right to Him.

My Second Eagle Dream - March 19, 2024

Image
Watch the podcast   I had another Eagle dream on March 19th. I've been sitting on it and waiting on the Lord for interpretation. I also posted this in the Dream Lab on Facebook and got one really cool response. This is her comment. I believe having a dream within a dream often means having a realization, that you are "waking up to" something. Please realize that this is now my second Eagle dream. I had one on November 14, 2022, that really impacted me. I believe it was a dream from God to encourage me and others that no harm would come to His own. God wants us to have peace and trust Him in what is to come. You can find the 1st Eagle Dream by clicking this link...   The Eagle Dream - November 14, 2022 (sheryllyork.blogspot.com)  just in case you'd like to read it even before you read this one. Here is the 2nd Eagle dream that I had on March 19, 2024... This afternoon I lay down for a nap after going out shopping, and I had another Eagle Dream. It was extremely short, ...

What the Lord showed me about 3I Atlas & 3 Kim Clement prophecies (Blog)

Image
Updated 11.3.25 On October 31st, there were several things that were thwarted, but one in particular was in Michigan. A huge terrorist attack was being planned for quite some time, and yet Kash Patel's FBI caught the chatter, and the entire thing that could have killed countless Americans was stopped. Was this what I was sensing when the Lord spoke to me? Probably not, I believed something was coming with 3I Atlas, and I won't lie about it. It is still coming, whether it hit on October 31st or not.  I know that God is ending the celebration of Halloween, whether it was this year or next, it will happen, but thankfully, prayer does change things, and I think often we don't realize how much our prayers and intercession change things. Many Believers today are like those in Acts 12:13-15, while they were praying in the house for Peter, and yet when an angel released him and he was standing outside the door, they didn't believe what had taken place. We have authority, and I ...

The Eagle Dream - November 14, 2022

Image
  Watch the podcast The Dream   I was up high on what I felt was a rooftop, but not of a home. It felt to me to be the top of a very high building. I was alone. I saw from a distance an eagle flying toward me and so I kept my focus on it because I just love Eagles and even in the natural see them all the time and watch them. It didn't seem unusual except that I was at the top of a tall building on top of a rooftop with sky all around me. The eagle began getting larger and larger in my vision the closer it got of course because it was coming more and more into my view. It kept coming and the closer it got I could see the coloring on it and the white feathers on its head. It was definitely a bald eagle. It kept coming and coming and it never swayed or swerved at all. I kept my focus on this Eagle almost afraid to turn away. It was closer and closer and still coming directly at me. I began to get concerned because it was now so close that I was a little fearful that if it flew in...
