at last, Jesus gave us the method, “Abide in Me,” for bearing fruit in our Christian life and for answered prayer. He stated, “Abide in Me, and i in you. because the department can't bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, apart from ye abide in Me” and “If ye abide in Me and My phrases abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it will likely be done unto you (John 15:4 & 7).”

Jesus declared in John 6:63, “The words that I communicate unto you, they're spirit and they're existence.” yes, the phrases of Jesus will meet every need we are able to ever have, both during this life and in the life to come.
