The Fruit of Faithfulness Only Comes with the Thorny Truth

I saw a vision and heard the Spirit of the Living God say, 
My grace is pouring out like oil upon this generation. I Am making them to be fruitful trees whose lives and words do prick many with the thorns of truth. The thorny, painful truth will be present in how they conduct their lives. It will be present and surround the fruitfulness of their lives. Their fruit is an inseparable reality from the thorns. Without the thorns of truth there is nothing to protect the fruit, so the fruit will never make it to maturity.
