The fruit defined in Galatians 5:22-23 identifies those covenanted with Elohim. As we endeavor to become like Messiah Yeshua, this fruit must remain in us.The fruit produced by the old man's fleshly nature, called "nasty fruit" by Elder Jackson, cannot remain as it has no part in the Kingdom of Messiah and must be dealt with and discarded.Elder William Jackson questions us all: when the time comes, will your fruit remain, and will you hear the words, "well done, good and trustworthy servant?”• John 15:1-4 – The pruning process• John 15:5-8 – Stay connected• John 15:9-15 – Stay in My love: remain obedient• John 15:16 – You were chosen by Messiah to bear fruit• Men are like puppies• What are you choosing over producing?• Ephesians 4:11-13 – Help• The example of human fertilization• Jeremiah 17:7-8 – Blessed is the man who’s trust IS Yahweh• Galatians 5:19-21 – Do not produce this f

Making excuses when one wants to escape a duty or undesirable situation is built into the human condition. Some may call them little “white lies” or whatever.However, when someone begins a Torah-pursuant walk, the excuses must end.
