We would urge you to read the passages in John 15 again and really ponder the message of staying connected to Him and being able to bear much fruit.
Secrets of the Vine is an excellent little book to read that explains this passage beautifully.
John 16:11
and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
Satan may be prince of this world now, but he stands condemned at judgment.
Read John Chapter 16 again.
John 16:23
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
If you read this in full context, it becomes clear what Jesus is talking about in regards to what we are to ask for. (See James 1:5)
Jesus prays for Himself. He prays for the disciples. And lastly this…
John 17:20
"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,
That’s us!!! Jesus is praying for US! In His last hours on earth, He was praying for US! What an awesome and humbling thought!
