"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you." John 15:7 NKJV A branch cannot do anything without being connected to the Vine; however, the Vine also cannot do anything to bear fruit without having branches that are connected. This is the mystery of our divine union with Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ, we are connected to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
