Thank you for joining us for this podcast from the ramp.

Talk about the grace for living simply part four. So I don't know how many of you have been

hearing this. How many of you have not heard any of the grace for living simply messages?

You've not heard any of them. I'm going to give you a quick review. How many of you have heard

at least one grace for living simply? How many of you at least two grace for living living? Most of you have heard most of this. I'm on part four of a series

that we've been in that was birthed out of some time I spent with the Lord in May where God began to

give me this language, the grace for living simply. And to give you a quick review, the first three

messages in summation have been

the first one God used John 15, where the Bible says every tree in me that does not bear fruit,

I cut it down and cast it into the fire, every tree in me that does bear fruit. I prune it,

I purge it. The word means to cleanse in order that it might bear more fruit. Jesus tells the disciples

henceforth no longer do I call you servants, but I've called you friends because everything I've

heard of the Father I've made known unto you. Now I send you to go forth into the earth and bear fruit

and that your fruit might remain. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And so we begin to

talk about how God will cut away. God will take away unnecessary things in order to put us into a position of greater fruitfulness.

And that is part of the simplification process that comes as God is giving us a supernatural grace

or an ability to live more simply.

I believe we have a very simple message

and we're attempting to adopt it

into a very complex culture.

And I believe God wants to create a generation

of believers that live with simplicity
