Good Fruit or Just Rotten

Like John we are to be re-provers by office and by that which God provides in our hearts to speak: 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

For Understanding: Prov. 10:13 Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, but a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding. Prov. 13:15 Good understanding gains favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard. Understanding: 7922 O.T. )say—kel….to have prudence, to have discretion, being wise.

Unfaithful: are those with no real relationship, they move on a whim, when catastrophe or sudden illness is seen, many will leave. They shift to the winds of caprice and self-indulgence! Many just want to be heroes with no work or detail of domestic life appearing!

WISDOM and Revelation…. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. (Eph 1:17) that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Revelation knowledge penetrates right to the heart of man, it is the Word of God with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Even Satan can quote scriptures but it is the Holy Spirit that makes God’s Word relevant in Love to the receiver.  If we just operate based on wisdom, we become an old wineskin that cannot take in the new wine, the present Word of the Lord. Without revelation, we will merely maintain our ministries and not truly operate in Kingdom advancement. We must continuously come to God for fresh truth so that our youth is renewed like the eagle (Psalm 103:5). This heart posture will keep us willing to break out of the mold and jump off new cliffs into deeper waters that He can release through us.

Delivered to the Kingdom of Heaven, Redemption, to Being Filled with all His wisdom and His spiritual understanding: Colossians 1:9-14   NKJV  9 For this reason, we  also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.  10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, 11 strengthened with all might according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy, 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the  light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into  the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.  

Endurance: having constancy in our lives with God and His Word

1.)           Living a life worthy of the Lord

2.)           Pleasing Him in every way

3.)            Bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God

4.)           Strengthened with power according to His might

We gain discernment when we spend time with God and His Word:                             

Gaining Discernment Through God’s Word : Heb. 5:11-14    NKJV  11  Of whom We have much to say and hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing.  12 for though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the principles of the oracles of God; & you have come to need milk &  not solid food. 13 for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. 

Motivated by God’s will and Not Our Opinion: Influence of the Unkind: From James 3:15 good conduct done in wisdom…15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. ( it is of the flesh)

1.)            But some operated out of the bitter envy: they are fierce, with the contemptuous spirit, while attempting or pretending to defend true religion but in truth have no religion.

2.)           They profess by lying against the truth. 3.             God is not the author of worldly wisdom!  The world’s wisdom is bitter-not meek. They live for the moment……….that which is sensual!   Look at that of Salome in this passage: : Matthew 14:3-12 NJKV 3 For Herod had laid hold of John & bound him, & put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 Because John had said to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” 5 And although he wanted to put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod’s birthday was celebrated, the daughter of Herodias danced before them & pleased Herod. 7 Therefore he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. 8 So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, “Give me John the Baptist’s head here on a platter.” 9 And the king was sorry; nevertheless because of the oaths & because of who sat with him, he commanded it to be given to her.10 So he sent & had John beheaded in prison. 11 And his head was brought on a platter & given to the girl, & she brought it to her mother. 12 Then his disciples came & took away the body & buried it, & went away & told Jesus.

1)            Immorality was found among Herod & Herodias; lust bound him to more oppressed and dark tastes leading to murder

2)            We too should tell Jesus when there are times of persecution, oppression, suffering and sorrow when seeing it among our peers! Do we mention it?

3)            Herodias’ daughter Salome danced a most provocative dance before this king

4)            Considered the minor ruler over Galilee: Herod Antipas; Mark 6:17-27 NKJV 17 For Herod himself had sent & laid hold of John, & bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife; for he had married her. 18 Because John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife; for he had married her. 19 Therefore Herodias held it against him & wanted to kill him, but she could not; 20 for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just and holy man, & he protected him. And when he heard him, he did many things, & heard him gladly.

5)            This same king Herod had seduced his niece Herodias, who was married to Herod’s brother Philip. He the face of evil persuaded her to divorce her husband & marry him. He in turn divorced his own wife!

So their influence is demonical inspired, and maintained by the influence of the demons. That is the reason they call it demonic! It is self-seeking, confused and evil and they bring other evil with them! This is ultimately the devilish source indicating human cooperation.

In this passage Herod hears of Jesus & thinks of John the Baptist who had beheaded to please Salome. Mark 6: 21 Then the opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, & the chief men of Galilee. 22 And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in & danced, & pleased Herod & those who sat with him, the king said to the girl. “Ask me whatever you want, & I will give it to you.” 23 He also swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.” 24 So she went out & said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.”

25 Immediately she came in with haste to the king & asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet because of the oaths & because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent an executioner & commanded his head to be brought. And he went & beheaded him in prison, 28 brought his head on a platter & gave it to the girl; & the girl gave it to her mother.

At the time of John’s Execution: it was John the Baptist Who had reproved Herod for taking Herodias as his wife, since she was married to his brother Philip. Herodias hated John the Baptist for trying to destroy what she valued but it was Herod who thwarted her plans because he had respected John & had received from him daily: That which is evil always hate the light & the truth it brings!

The influence Herodias gave to Salome was of the flesh and sexual. He had her daughter to dance and please Herod. And him the pushover asked what he might do for her. He swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.” This is a bad demonical inspired influence where demons perform!

NO Opinions: No Pushing the Envelope to Get our Way…..           Will not be overbearing in conversation: Proverbs 14:16  NKJV A wise man fears and departs from evil, but a fool rages and is self-confident.    Proverbs 21:24 NKJV A proud and haughty man---“Scoffer is his name; He acts with arrogant pride.   ………….When a person says that they have no fear of evil in them; they do not care about living godly lives. There are no RULES! Many today claim to live as Christians but they do not fear God. They will give no honor or reverence to Him. But we are told to depart from evil!

Proverbs 21:30 NKJV there is no wisdom or understanding or counsel against the LORD. Deliberately determined to do what is wrong is death to those who do it; We have seen this come from Adam and Eve and it is happening in the streets of America today. Deliberately choosing to one’s own agenda is death indeed! Anything outside what God purposed is one choosing to themselves in due to the world’s ways. To me that is just dangerous and so wrong to take yourself and your loved ones down the one-way path to hell and destruction!

In applying God’s word to our lives, we seek to place His will over our own will. Like Jesus, not our will but yours Father be done on earth as it is in Heaven.  In applying that word, we find that which is taking us in strength.  Like from Proverbs 19:21 that there are many plans in a man’s heart, nevertheless the LORD’S counsel---that will stand.  That we reject the counsel of the ungodly and hear the LORD’S counsel above all others. We also confess that we are instructed even as when we are sleeping and in the morning, that we pray to do what is right rather than follow the leading of our own flesh. We also speak out that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with You, Lord (1 Corinthians 3:19)  and may we not buy into it, but keep our eyes on You and have ears to hear Your voice.

May we not be presumptuous in any step we take, we must know our steps to be ordered of the Lord and not to make adjustments to His word as we see fit. HE is the healer, the ONE worthy to receive honor and praise for the great sacrifice to see us get not death, but life everlasting.

Romans 6:21-23 …….What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin,  & having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, & the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

A changed heart is a seeking heart, not of worldly things that are passing away, but a seeking Heart is transparent, it is one that reflects life in Christ Jesus.  Jesus must not only be Savior , He must also be our Lord. Not being obedient to His word brings unwelcome consequences.  We are not saved by the admission of guilt, nor are we saved because we attend church every week. In God’s kindness and mercy, salvation that is true comes from accurately understanding the cost to save and the cost required to be saved. May our lives truly exhibit change that is of a holy life abounding in God’s grace not to sin but to really live a life in Him. Amen.

Are we like Mary, the mother of Jesus? Or are we like Herodias influencing our daughter into the wrong thing of the flesh creature? Are we encouraging our young sons to be men and not drag-queens? Are we encouraging our children to be all God called them in His word?

Each of us are responsible for spiritual warfare and anticipated victories!  Yet even in this hour, the presence of evil struggles for survival.  We do battle in faith and with faithfulness to the Lord; it is His ultimate kingdom we live in; Holy Spirit is preparing us even now for these kingdom victories today: Daniel 7:21-22 NKJV “I was watching; & the same horn was making war against the saints, & prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, & a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the most High, &the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom. God overrules all other thrones.

Jesus spoke this in Matt. 7:15-23 NKJV “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16” You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn-bushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

Matthew 7:  18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19” Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

 Matthew 7: 21 “ Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in Your name, & done many wonders in Your name?”23 “And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!”

Isolation

 

Heard a really good teaching Sunday. In it, the pastor noted we should know where God is. We should know Him in our hearts. In requesting Him to hear us, this pastor noted that most people use God as their Genie in the bottle. Rub it three times for your wish and automatically you have your wish. For most they do not see His Word first. They seek their flesh comfort. A desire to those great nails with decorations or maybe that Snap Benefit when you should work first to be paid. This pastor had silence in the room of said believers. You could hear a pin drop in that big room filled with a captive audience. 

People felt isolated during the Covid-19 disease. And today there is  something else causing the division. Isolating oneself is not separating from the problem. It goes with you everywhere you go. In this we should see that it is about having faith in God or about having faith in something else. Is it a benefit to stand opposite God and make a demand about something you think you might need? 

God is in Light. He reveals light and if any darkness in us is found, He waits on us to move to His place.

When Matthew is Called: Luke 5:27-32 NKJV After these things He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax office. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” 28 So he left all, rose up and followed Him. 29 Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners? 31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 32 “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

1.   In this passage Levi is the given name of Matthew, but God changed his name to Matthew.

2.   The sinner and the tax collectors were not to be taught the word of God;  where the unclean before the boundary lines of the Jews

3.  Jesus was not going to bars to look for sinners….He was invited to fancy meat bearing meals..

Matthew 9:9-13 As  Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office. And he said to him, “Follow Me.” So he arose & followed Him. 10 Now it happened, as Jesus sat at the table in the house, that behold many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, “Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

1.   This passage reveals Jesus did not go find the tax collectors or sinners. They came to where He was. He asked Matthew to follow Him…

2.   He was in a house, seated! ….and they came to Him

Matthew 9:12 When Jesus heard that, he said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13  “But go and learn what this means: “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’

This Matthew was held in an isolation. He was the tax collector. He was kept in a place where he could and would implement the tax law for Rome. Many of us today are bunched together and maybe in an unclean place to hear the rants of angry people and know the fruit is not good for anything! Huddling with others as to snap benefits can produce a group of lazy people. Making demands on others and you are not a child that represents a really foolish people. 

But Jesus came along. : Follow Me. And then Matthew followed Him. What is interesting is the truth that sinners came, looking and were found with Jesus. He came to lead people into repentance of sins!

Jesus had called Matthew to be acquainted with tax collectors and reveal to the religious sect that they were included in the kingdom of God!

1.   As Matthew had invited Jesus to eat at his house, others would come as well. And surely some would follow Christ. I was thinking today after hearing a Michael Jackson Movie has been made and of the nephew who made it. In reflecting on that family, most certainly Michael Jackson had the talent! Enough said for now, please!

2.   The true grace will not eat its morsels alone but will always invite others! Our grace from God is probably running out. In this the 250 year celebration for this nation: that is seven 50 year Jubilees we read in the Bible. We have been a people more about things than about God Himself. Will something catastrophic happen this summer? We shall see!

3.   Matthew the tax collector invited the fishermen who were follower’s of Jesus and the publicans as well….that those requiring the Healer would find the proper place where aid is given. They would find healing in Jesus/

4.   For where Jesus is: aid is given not to those in health but those needing

Mercy….the beauty of grace in the place of misery and pain.

5.    “I came not to call the righteous ...] No human beings are by nature righteous, Ps 14:3; Rom 1:18-32; 3:10-18. The Pharisees, however, "pretended" to be righteous

6.   Christ Jesus affirmed that his proper and only business was to call to repentance such people as he was now with. He came to seek and save such, and it was his "proper business," therefore, to associate with them.

We see isolation today. People would come to our house. They would be fed something and they would hear God's word. Many want free stuff but would not in anyway receive in any way wisdom to help them get out of the "ditch" and please do not tell them what to do! I nor my husband would not tell you what to do. If you are an adult, you have choice. It is found every time you follow your fellow peeps in vaccines, any plague issues, any consequence of world affairs are benefits you have not worked for in any form. Many today are just "strong-willed" people. They can be found in a world of hurt! And they are still making their demands even though their hearts lack any kind of love toward any! ( have you heard of the new plague in India)

Revelation 21:5-8 NKJV then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold I make all things new." And said to me, "Write for these words are true and faithful." 6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.  " I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. " 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Unbelief is faithlessness! Cowardly acting is he who lacks courage! Philippians 4:6 tell you and I to not "Be anxious for nothing." To have fear, worry, anxiety, or forebodings question God's goodness and His loving care. Rather to giving in to "fear" we are to choose and action to believe God and His love. If we believe in the depth of the love of God ( John 17:23) and Christ ( John 15:13) have for us, believing those words, faith in that perfect love will cast out fear we see in 1 John 4:18.

Doubting that God can feed you or find you a new position in this time period only proves you are the faithless. It is our doubting Gods love for us that is at the core of the sin of faithlessness. This was seen in the characteristics of our ancestors, ancient Israel.

People of those early days of Israel proved their faithlessness when asking  Moses, "is the Lord going to take care of us or not?" (Exodus 17:7) It is sobering to consider the fate of the fearful and unbelieving and the rank they are given in the list we have above in Revelation 21:8. Return to Him in fellowship. Return to Him in knowing Him intimately. Faith in Him is light and life. We are encouraged to choose life and not the handout. (choose life: Deuteronomy 30:19.

Isolation Jesus saw at the beginning of His ministry. Holy Spirit took Him out to be tested by the devil. And He came through as we saw recently in Luke 4. Many will be tested in this hour and will we choose life in God? Will we choose faithful trust in Him? For we should remember He can cast both  body and soul into hell. God is good and He is the faithful one.  Pay attention to His words of life in the Bible. To fix your eyes on the daily T.V. news is keeping sick plots of men before you. Be rich in the Lord and in the power of His might. Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

“Love for God is obedience; love for God is holiness. To love God and to love man is to be conformed to the image of Christ, and this is salvation.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

 “It is not great faith, but true faith, that saves; and the salvation lies not in the faith, but in the Christ in whom faith trusts...It is not the measure of faith, but the sincerity of faith, which is the point to be considered.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

“I would do many things to please my friends, but to go to hell to please them is more than I would venture. It may be very well to do this and that for good fellowship, but it will never do to lose the friendship of God in order to keep on good terms with men.”

― Charles H. Spurgeon

Without our heart being washed by the word of God, we never meet the standards to operate in godly integrity. . God, with our cooperation through faith, is ultimately the Creator of a pure heart in us, but it is a protracted process achieved by imparting a holy nature by His Spirit. This unites us with a holy Christ, with whom we fellowship, washing us in the blood of the Lamb so that with His aid we can mortify the flesh and live toward God, giving Him first priority in everything.

Purity of desires, motives, and intents should characterize the child of God. We need to examine ourselves, searching diligently whether we have freed ourselves from the dominion of hypocrisy or are we still isolated from God?

Language Means a Lot

 Think of the frustration and disbelief, the Pharisees confronted temple officers. What came back? "Why did you not bring him?" They had been sent to arrest Jesus. The officers returned empty handed, not out fear nor confusion, but conviction. Their answer? No one ever spoke this man". John 7:46

Language is important. One speaks what their heart holds! If you study math, consuming it yearly, you will have a heart for math. Someone who loves spelling will learn to spell many words. What about him who learns a trade: like being an electrician, a machinist, welder or crane operator. Each will work in that which they have learned. What about them who study to be a doctor or lawyer! And then A.I. I hear is writing some kids work in school. The teacher commented last week when we heard it: the teens are writing not their language but that of the A.I. Think that is a problem. She said she knows how these boys and girls speak, yet they are writing words A.I. would use.

Language is considered an art one you will learn when you study something specific! In the news today, you might learn something you did not know, like Johnny has a new house with five bathrooms. You will hear Sara just back from Hawaii for the fifth time. Yikes, did she not see what see needed or did she sleep through the other four trips there.

People are wanting inclusion but on their terms. The hearing is one religion. One religion....oh yes, they want a one world system! Listen to the news and you hear peaceful protests in Los Angeles, yet that displayed is fire . It is police cars on fire, graffiti on federal buildings, projectiles pointed at moving cars. We just saw on the news one doing a car burning circles while someone waved a Mexican flag close by.

Language.

Our faith walk accepts God’s testimony and salvation; By the holy Spirit’s leading and control, Jesus’ life is being reproduced in each of us. If we are committing sorcery or hatred: we are not led by the Spirit of God                                                           

REJECTION of God and law is the natural result of man becoming obsessed with the power of self. Worshippers of self-power will not voluntarily submit themselves to God's rules or laws. It is known as Antinomianis.

 Matthew 7:16-18 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 a good tree cannot bear bad fruit, not can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Romans 16:17-18 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, & avoid them. 18 for those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, & by smooth words & flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.   Luke 16:15-16 You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16 The law and the prophets  were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, & everyone is pressing into it.

 That is: One must reject the earth-level rule, THE WORLDLY RULE; We must surrender to                God and submit to Him in all our areas for life and living:  Is accomplished by prayer time,                     also includes that one surrenders their will to God and to surrender self-interests. Repentance and belief are the entrance into the kingdom of God. It is seen as God’s plan and purpose for our lives and not BY someone else’s plan and purpose

 Rebellion must be stopped: it is as bad as the sin of witchcraft and stubbornness is as bad as worshiping idols. 1 Samuel 15:22-23  NKJV So Samuel said: Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings & sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, & to heed than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft (divination), & stubbornness is as iniquity & idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king. Standing in opposition to God’s commands is witchcraft.

Holding a flag for a nation you say you hate, but willingly receive monetarily gifts here, only proves what you have a heart for. Language is to be heard, but that of the heart is seen and speaks volumes of those who hate.

 Operating by UNBELIEF…Matthew 17: 16-21 NKJV 16 So I brought him to Your disciples. But they could not cure him. 17 Then Jesus answered & said, O faithless and perverse generations, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me. 18 & Jesus rebuked the demon, & it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour. 19 then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 so Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there & it will move & nothing will be impossible for you. 

Faith walk…and  a trust that God’s word works…..is taking dominion , not by the flesh but by the spirit of God..Confidence should be in God and the promises He has given us. His promises were given to be planted within our hearts and rely on the truth so that we shall see them come to pass in our lives. 2 Corinthians 1:20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him, Amen. To the glory of God through us.

Through Jesus we say Amen. But we must submit to God and resist the devil. Any ploy of the enemy can be stopped but we must keep speaking what God has given to us to speak. We must declare those truths and keep them in our own hearing as well. But if we only speak what some friend has given and has nothing to do with the divine truths of God then get rid of them….Have a Bon-FIRE with them…..God’s truth will not lie…So faith and love are wrapped up in our daily walk with God. 

WE are to demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit in us! Our heart is to  be set with the Father to stand against sin and speak of its destruction to man. To do less is giving no care….to do less…marks the person who will endeavor to having their own way, doing their own thing, for the time they have here…and for…allowing the attractive and the easily absorbed way become their own way and life to see death come for them.   BUT for us” we are followers of Jesus. We are born again to serve in the kingdom which has come. 

We have set our priority in Jesus, the same yesterday, today and forever. Today we choose to take territory for Him in His name…not cheering from the sidelines but a part of the Lord’s movement on earth, that church without walls! Each of us are the committed individual, with a dedicated life to God, humbled to seeing His kingdom come……giving thanks, where spiritual life is demonstrated and God’s words are spoken daily. We live to see His coming back to earth. His kingdom to be seen ………..where people cheerfully give and rejoice at His word. We truly desire to see His glory in our lives. Come Lord Jesus, Come!

The Root to the Fruit

 

This being August 9, I was reading in the Book of Proverbs and this verse stood out from chapter 9! And then hearing the Lord speak, He said, it all comes to whether when rebuke is given if you will see the scoffer or the wise man stand up.

I could not get this out of my thinking. Are we rebuked today and the Lord sees a scoffer or if rebuked, did He then see the wise man? Hopefully the wise man stood today to hear God speak!

It is in seeing the root condition that matures to the fruit development. My husband and I have a small garden this year: tomatoes, banana peppers, yellow squash, zucchini and green onions round out that list. I did say it was small! And we check the conditions: like fertilizer, amount of sun and yes water to be applied. We keep check on the progression of these vegetables and see how fast or slow will they make it to our table indeed!

 On reading Proverbs and now in recent weeks, gone back to reading Hebrews 12:12, I find I am speaking it not only for myself but for all believers, that our spiritual man would not take a dive this year as 2022 ends! Hebrews 12:12 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down and the feeble knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed. 14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord; 15 looking carefully lest any fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble and this many become defiled.

Do we know what is lame within us? Do we know our knees to be feeble and healing must take place in the time of prayer? Our hands should not be hanging down but in place to serve the living Christ! And are they raised in work for the Lord?

If we truly hear God and get His word in us, then anyone speaking will be recognized for who they are: either as the one abiding in the word of God or him abiding in the world. I heard a leader of this nation speak this morning, that if what they wanted was not law, that they would make it law to get their way! Seems that from the outhouse to the white house people are choosing their own way out and making laws to do it!

Actions certainly speak louder than words, but hopefully our actions are of the Christian conducting his life is such a manner as to possessing his own soul! Luke 21:16-19 NKJV You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. 17 And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. 18 But not a hair of your head shall be lost. 19 By your patience possess your souls!

Now this Jesus gave about the period before the end. It was given to the Jews. In the crisis, or the crisis hour, God would give them, the Jew special wisdom to speak things that could completely confound their adversaries. In this Jesus also pointed to some would lose their lives but not perish. And those He specifies with that patience to possess their souls are those who stand genuinely true and loyal to Christ at any cost. The days are evil and are getting darker but we are to be brighter lights for His glory and to His praise. So in losing one's life is being with Jesus but those who perish are the rebellious who chose man's way of life!

In this day, people are wondering where God is bringing His people back to the forefront and to what the timing would be. For Christians, believers are to hold on and keep the thankful heart the Gospel that came to us! For this living now in this time will keep their eyes fixed on the Lord. They pay attention to the riches of Gentiles seen in Romans 11:12…referring to the place of privilege which the Gentiles enjoy the present time while Israel is temporarily set aside by God. God still has His eye on His favorite: Israel! The fullness of the Gentiles seen in Romans 11:25 is the time of the Rapture, when Christ’s Gentile bride will be completed and taken from the earth. It also is seen that God will resume His dealings with Israel. And the times of the Gentiles found in Luke 21:24. These times of the Gentiles actually began back in 521 B.C. It extends to the time when Gentile nations will longer assert control over the city of Jerusalem.

 But what of the root to the fruit when words are passed around, and meanings are being changed to suit the one wanting to divert, divide and destroy others. We are significantly living in another time period, living in what are the last days or end times! Was giving a teaching recently on the Divine Warrior…yes Jesus, and two words that were within that teaching was that of men of the last days being insufferably conceited and abysmally ignorant at the same time. You can find that in the book of Romans. Romans 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man----and birds and four footed animals and creeping things.

Rebukes can come from many sources, but the one to pay attention to first is that of the Lord. If He is directing us in His peace, and to lead others in that peace, we are to understand that many will not go into peace willingly. Jesus could lead people to His peace but whether they remained depended on their heart issues: like Judas Iscariot, Pontius Pilate and Herod! ( was hearing a teaching just today about Judas Iscariot and when he chose to deliberately take money and expose Jesus, he was taken over by an entity!)

You may not know these men by these names today but they will appear for the devil is trying to pull many to his way and doing wrong. Be aware, take heed, and hear the voice of the Lord. Take note to keep your hands strengthened to carry on the Lord’s work for He is coming soon. Stand as the wise today and look forward to the reward of victory. And take a look at the root to the fruit of your loyalty to Jesus. Is He your number 1 or is He at number 10 or 20 on your hot list!

If you are talking to God and telling Him you have this situation and you need to know what to do next, but only out of you and your own strength, then you have missed Him! We are confess our faith before Him that in Him we can know peace and the way in which to walk that continues in Him.   When People take things into their own hands they become like those in Sodom and Gomorrah. They look and sound like Korah who led rebellions against God’s anointed and appointed.

Expose the unfruitful works of darkness: Ephesians 5:8-14 NKJV 8 for you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret,  13 but all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: 'Awake you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light."

It does not say “join them” but to expose them! What light is in you should be revealing the “rats” in others. What light is in you should prevail in light that is liberty in the Gospel of Christ! Abiding in His kingdom that has come into our hearts through His mercy and grace. To being the fruitful, we abide in His fruitfulness. We see glory. We see Him lighting our way into eternity! As the Bridegroom, He has made a state of peace and harmony with God who is for us! We are blessed through Him, not working our way into blessings. We have them now in Him! We reach out to Him, and expect to hear Him speak to us.

Take a look at your root and how does it appear! Will it produce the right fruit for the Lord’s glory or will it produce anxiety, fearful speaking, profanity, obscenity, idolatry, drug addiction, every opposer to truth. We are not held by the devil. We have been authority to prevail now in this lifetime. And it is abiding in Jesus, the fruit of heaven revealed on earth.

 May we bring seed to be sown into hearts that will bear fruit for love. That it would be love for God, for the Lord Jesus Christ and our neighbor. We give thanks for this word that will not return to the Lord void, but it will accomplish where it is sent.  Today, we are filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that we may walk worthy of Him being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Him.  We submit to this word of the Lord: spirit, soul and body! We commit to change whatever corrections are required for life to live as a vessel of honor, sanctified and fitting for the Master’s use and prepared for every good work. We eat the good of the land because we are willing and obedient! Amen and Amen.
