Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to John 14:12

Jesus did incredible works during His time on earth. And before He left, He said we would do even greater things after He was gone. That’s a huge promise coming from the One who walked on water and healed the blind.

For many years I worked as a paramedic, which gave me an incredible sensitivity for life. A common thread that unifies every human is the fact that we all experience storms of life. My hope in writing this devotional series is to encourage readers that we can trust God with every detail of our lives! No matter what our circumstances are, He is our only hope and true comfort!

This devotional series focuses on communing with God, the One who is near, and exploring what it means to be “gates of heaven” on the earth.

The rescuing hope for the world is not found in political band-aids, social programs, and committees, but only in the transforming power of the Gospel.

In this plan you will be blessed to read through several verses of the book of  John, chapter 15. Jesus knew His time with His 12 disciples was coming to an end but had a bigger plan not just for them but for all of us. We were called to follow Christ and walk with Him even in this time and age. Jesus tells us through a beautiful analogy that He is the vine and we are His branches. We are connected to Him, an extension of His good news, and we will bear fruit if we choose to remain in Him. Becoming disciples is His desire for His children and glorifies the Father. 

Staying connected to God is the only way we can walk in faith, victory and live the Christian life. That means we must stay close to the One in the Trinity who abides in us and is on the earth today. His name is the Holy Spirit. If you want to be the person God wants you to be, it’s impossible to do this without the Holy Spirit.
