This year the Lord highlighted COMMUNITY. He brought us to doing Christmas outreach the way we did it the first few years the ministry was established. Going door-to-door in our local low income neighborhoods and handing out gifts to those who need them. Today is day one of three of this years Christmas outreach 🙏🏻🤗🎄. We still have a handful of families that we sponsored, and a couple that still need sponsored if anyone would still like to give. THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAS GIVEN AND SOWED INTO THIS!!!!

Please keep us in your prayers as we bring love and hope To those fortunate today. Jesus is the reason for the season. Pray everyone we contacted today sees Him and not us because He gets every bit of the glory. 🎄🎁🕊️

Stay tuned for more Christmas updates ❤️

Starting in 2011 we have collected and distributed gifts and food all over the state of WV. I would say approximately 12,000 brand new gifts to children (and that’s on a lower guesstimating ) hundreds of food boxes and too many jackets and winter clothes to count. We have not released what we are doing this year yet, but we started working on it the end of October 🤗. God makes every bit of this happen. He is faithful!!!
Here is a recap of some of the past giveaways and drop offs and be on the lookout for what we have in store this year. We will be posting more about that next week😃
We are blessed the Lord allows us to do this every year🙏🏻
To give to our Christmas outreach you can give on our website www.thevinewv.com, Venmo Cashapp $thevinewv

Instead of looking down on others and finding their faults, flaws and mistakes, let’s start seeing and speaking words of encouragement, hope and to their potential! Jesus died for EVERYONE! Not some, not the ones you think deserve grace and forgiveness or those who your in the cool kids club with. The ones who have been mislabeled by you and society. The ones who have made mistakes that either don’t know how or would prefer to not live a different lifestyle. He died to reconcile us ALL into his family!

“The altar from which God gives us the gift of himself is not for exploitation by insiders who grab and loot. In the old system, the animals are killed and the bodies disposed of outside the camp. The blood is then brought inside to the altar as a sacrifice for sin. It’s the same with Jesus. He was crucified outside the city gates—that is where he poured out the sacrificial blood that was brought to God’s altar to cleanse his people. So let’s go outside, where Jesus is, where the action is—not trying to be privileged insiders, but taking our share in the abuse of Jesus. This “insider world” is not our home. We have our eyes peeled for the City about to come. Let’s take our place outside with Jesus, no longer pouring out the sacrificial blood of animals but pouring out sacrificial praises from our lips to God in Jesus’ name. * * *”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭10‬-‭15‬ ‭MSG‬‬

When He reconciled us to Himself, He paid it all! No layaway, no mortgage, no rent, no finance plan! No, He paid it all and then some! He forgave us our debt, empowering us to forgive our debtors! Thats what I call unconditional love! If you do not know the agape (unconditional love) of The Father, just know that it’s been made free! It’s like walking into a store and seeing everything you ever wanted and needed and the price tag says, “PAID IN FULL!”

“He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬ ‭AMP‬‬

There is One consistent standard regardless of the emotions, circumstances, or situations that are attempting to wage war on you, your family, your job, etc. That standard has a name and it is The Name above every other name. He is King of kings and Lord of lords! He has conquered death and the grave! He holds the keys to death and hell and does not desire for anyone to perish! His Name is Jesus! He loves you more than you feel, think, imagine or know! He desires for you to grow into the maturity of His likeness and image! He doesn’t expect you to be perfect, just to be yourself and allow His Holy Spirit to reveal and heal. Will you continue to allow the perversions of this world to dictate your attitude, thoughts, words or behaviors? Or will you choose to bring it to Him who has won The Victory for us to share in?

I encourage you to bring it all to Him and watch Him stomp it into the grave and resurrect new life!

What may seem like opposition is really an opportunity! Tune into His voice by surrendering your thoughts, emotions, desires, wants and understanding. Allow Him to guide you by remaining willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what!

““I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Don’t trust your emotions, they’re confusing. And God is not the author of confusion.
HE IS The Lord of supernatural peace!
Trust Him with and in all things and watch Him take dominion over all the things you’re stressed about.
We are able to do so with the invitation of Matthew 11:28 envisioning the work being completed for us and Jesus being seated on The Throne as The Ruler of our hearts and minds!
Believe this to be true no matter what you’re feeling and expect Him to break you through to the promised land!

There is One inside of you that is greater than what’s in front of you! You possess everything He holds in His hand. Nothing can stop you now!

“He is infinitely greater than angels, for he inherited a rank and a Name far greater than theirs.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭TPT‬‬

"You have forsaken the love you had at first. Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place." (Revelation 2:4-5)

We carry The Light in this world. But many of us have become weary. The oil in our lamp is running low. There’s a lampshade dimming The Light within us and through us. The relentless, forsaking all of the worlds lusts unconditional love has become conditional.

But passion isn't a sensation; it's the return on your investment. You don't JUST pray to get it back; you practice it. Practice makes passion. Passion is a product of investment. Investing in your relationship with The One who filed bankruptcy for us to share in the divine benefit package of the resurrection power will never fail us. Our lamps remain filled. He removes the lampshade. He gave His life, not for just eternal salvation, but for internal salvation. The here and now! He desires for us to be free and no longer subjects to the dictations and demonstrations of this world. They’re temporary and no longer have power over us! We have access to the same power that raised Christ from the grave! And if you’re born again, you have that same power!

That's why the letter written to the church in Ephesus says to "do the things you did at first" instead of "feel the feelings you felt at first." They had stopped investing in the One that had fueled their fire. Their focus had become askew. The motives of their hearts had shifted and was being driven by worldly desires. They had became so weary they forgot the most simple thing Jesus asked them to do.

““Are you weary, carrying a heavy burden? Come to me. I will refresh your life, for I am your oasis. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me. For all that I require of you will be pleasant and easy to bear.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬)

But there wasn’t any reason why they couldn’t start doing these very same things again. All of it. Pray and seek His face in all matters. Praise Him in spite of your feelings. And obey His voice. Especially when it feels tough. Believe ALL OF THE TRUTH, not just some it. Encourage each other, pray for each other and don’t forget all that He has done for you!

Good news is, there’s no reason you can’t get your passion back today; it just takes investing in The One who has invested ALL into you and most importantly, BELIEVING THAT THERE IS UNLIMITED ACCESS TO THE ONE WHO HOLDS THE KEYS! He freely gave and is giving you accessibility to ALL that is holy, pure and righteous! You are His kid after all!

So forgive yourself, forgive others and believe you are forgiven! And believe you are receiving your breakthrough and inheritance!

I pray that today, your first love takes precedence before and and above all that you may be experiencing. I pray He binds and casts away all that is keeping you from His peace, joy and love. I pray that today you are forever clothed in His love that is His armor! I ask Jesus to enter your hearts and minds in new ways. I pray that we give Him access to the entire house! Every single room! And that His love takes over every thought, feeling, attitude and behavior so that He shows you how to walk through all that you have been enduring. I declare breakthrough mentally, emotionally, physically, financially and supernaturally! In Jesus mighty loving grace filled name!

Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.

Repost by Nate Johnson: 😭🙌🙌🙌

I believe we are entering a season of extreme vindication.

For weeks now I keep seeing the same vision over and over of a courtroom full of demons shrieking and screaming at God's people, then the Father slams down His gavel and it’s over.

Many have been through almost three years of extreme slander and witchcraft without any justice.

Many have been bullied by the spirit of assassination, the spirit of death/murder, and the loudest and most tormenting chatter they have ever experienced.

It’s felt like it’s gone unchecked and not dealt with.

It’s taken so many out. This grieves me to see that many have been crushed and scourged by the opposition on the battlefield.

But I keep seeing that gavel come down and I know it’s time.

Vindication is here. God is clearing the names of the righteous who have had their names dragged through the mud.

Those who have been slimed and sidelined are being cleaned up, healed up, and recommissioned.

There will be a spiritual exoneration take place and a severing of lies and distortions of character that the enemy has cast over many.

He is righting wrongs and revealing hearts and motives.

He is revealing the heads of the snakes that have been secretly harassing and cursing God's people.

The courtroom has been noisy but when that gavel comes down the accusers will be nowhere to be found.

There will be an awkward silence as the enemy is found out and God's remnant rises up from the ashes.

God is dealing with the Church where She has taken on a critical and divisive spirit and instead of waging war on darkness She has waged war on Her own.

Instead of the mantle of unity, She has adorned the divided tongue of the accuser out of insecurity and competition.

We must deal with the Christian witchcraft that has become far too common in the Church.

Lives, livelihoods, and destinies have been taken out by slander and gossip.

Sickness, delay, and calamity have warred on the homes of those with a heart after God's heart.

They have been surrounded and attacked incessantly for years without end, but now it’s coming to an end.

“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” Hebrews 10:30

God is pouring out His vindication over homes and marriages and children.

He is restoring what has been stolen and righting the wrongs of the last few years.

And then I heard the Lord say “I am pouring out healing oil over those who have been broken by the trauma and toll of these attacks. I see them, and I will restore them completely!”

God is vindicating ministries that the enemy crumbled. He is going to breathe new life into lifeless places and stand warriors and generals to their feet.

There will be new mantles and new anointings that will come as a sign of a fresh wind upon those who have come through the fire.

Watch as they emerge again...

As the gavel comes down, watch as kings and kingdoms shake. Watch as what has been hiding and lurking in darkness has nowhere to hide anymore. It will come out. Masks will be removed and agendas revealed for all to see.

Evil handshakes and pacts in high places are being revealed—no more hiding. The time of grace that was being extended, so that people could change, is now over. The light is shining in the darkness.

Righteousness will be restored and the remnant will be restored to their posts.

"'No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,' declares the LORD" Isaiah 54:17

Ok family!
We have a family of 6 who is in dire need of your help. Two adults and four small children. We’ve contacted all local resources for utility assistance and there is either no money funding available or they are closed. They have a shutoff due for disconnect this evening. They have a past due in the amount of $149 and if they’re able to get that taken care of, water and sewer will remain on. Otherwise, they will be disconnected and be without running water and sewer until service can be restored. If you’re willing and able to help, you can donate to TheVineWV.com cashapp $trenchwork37
I will update as we help take care of this family whose fighting to provide a life for their home.

2021 was a year full of mountains and valleys, tears of joy and tears of anguish. A year of opening new chapters and closing old ones. So much can happen in a year!

I can't understand God by feelings. I can't understand the Lord Jesus Christ by feelings. I can only understand God the Father and Jesus Christ by what the Word says about them. God is everything the Word says He is. We need to get acquainted with Him through the Word.

The difference between head knowledge and heart knowledge is application. A wise man once said, “Wisdom is knowledge applied.” Wisdom is gained through experience of applying Gods word. I encourage my brothers and sisters to apply His word daily by going through your day seeking an opportunity to apply it. Because the fact is: Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Hallelujah GREAT DEFENDER! So much better your ways!

We speak what we believe
We act as we speak
What we believe will be made evident

Jesus desires to show you The Way through this life as a conqueror.
Not to conquer others, but to conquer the systemic values that limit us and each other.
Christ is the standard and He is limitless!

How do we do this?

Spend time with Jesus
Learn from Him
Unlearn the ways of the world that has you producing hatred, judgementalism, ego and pride.

We do so, by choosing to put on His Love that is defined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭4‬-‭7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

“But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭37‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬
