So what is the pruning knife that the Husbandman uses?. The knife is the Word of God that is sharper than a two edged sword. This knife divides soul and spirit and discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart. John 15:3 shows that God's Word is his pruning knife. By the cleansing of God's Word, our soul gives up it's evil thoughts and yields to the teaching of the Word by the Holy Spirit.
As branches of the True Vine, we need to hear and read God's Word. When we surrender to the cleansing work of the Word and Spirit, our purpose in Christ will be fulfilled.
