God Is Keeping Me

So the Bible says vs 8: The vinedresser said Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it.

- The bible says that the vinedresser will dig about it and dung it.

- Dig: there will be some pot holes and some pitfalls in your way

- You gone have to work your way out some traps set for you

- Dung it: That lets me know that the next year you will get will be surrounded by mess.

- You gone have to wade through some mess that’s around you

- Don’t expect that year to be a good time:

- You gone have to go through some pitfalls

- You gone have to go through some mess to produce fruit.

- How many of you can come out smelling like roses with, mess all around you

- How many of you can do something positive, say something positive when you surrounded by pitfalls and mess all around you?

See if you know anything about repotting a plant, my grandmother used to have a porch full of flowers and pots and every year she would have to repot a plant or two because it was not producing any leaves or because it was dying off.

She would sometimes have to get a bigger pot, she would put the fertilizer in it (that’s the dung) she would get in there with that little hand spade, and work the soil, then I’d be standing there looking at here and she would say boy hand me that plant out that other pot and I would lift up the old plant and give it to here, I would have to up root the old plant out of that old dirt, and that old surroundings, then she would put it in that bigger pot, with new dirt and surroundings (where it had room to grow, and produce) then she would put a little water in it, (the holy ghost) and she would say “now”. Meaning now that should do it, “now” that should be it, “now” it should do something it should produce now.

That’s how God is doing us! Jesus is saying don’t cut them down, let me work them. Let me dig them out, let me dun’ em, let me replant them.

(So as I get ready to Close)

- I want to thank God for the Vinedresser: Thank God for the dresser of the Vineyard!

- I’m Glad that he said Spared me another year – thank God he gave me one more chance

I thank God that he is keeping us another year and giving us one more chance to get it together. One more chance to bear fruit, one more chance to be productive in life.

Good day soldiers and fare you well saints. I thank God that his keeping me. I thank God is gave me one more chance. I thank God that I’ve found out that, God is not concerned about a New Year, but he wants a New Me! God is keeping me.

(I’m gone yall)

God wants us to be good stewards over what he has given us. God wants your tithe, he wants you to spend a little time, and he wants you to use your talents.

That’s why God is keeping us! I thank God for keeping me.

Anybody know God is keeping them. Has God has to Keep anyone in 06? Has God has to Keep anyone last week, Did God have to keep someone last night.

I thank God that he is keeping me.

We sitting in seats, driving cars, living in houses, we shouldn’t be living in all because of Jesus.

Anybody know God is keeping you? Grab your neighbor by the hand

Say Neighbor God is keeping me. Is he keeping anybody over here?
