John 15:1-3 AMP
(1) I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.
(2) Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit.
(3) You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you].
I believe I'm going through a heavy duty pruning process these days but you know, it's a good God thing! I've done things lately that in the flesh I've not wanted to do but I knew it was on my heart to do them.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6 AMP
(4) For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,
(5) [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
(6) Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete.
I'm learning to do this and I'm asking for prayer in being more aware of the games when my thinking goes goofy. I'm in the refiner's fire and I'm so glad He's watching over me!
