Rev. 22: 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. |

Rev. 18: 14. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
16. And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! | | | | | |

James 3: 17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Luke 12: 16. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. | | | | | |

You know what then? Remember the revelation on the 'earth' which was without form and VOID? This 'earth' was Jesus in his life here on earth. This earth was his bearing the image of the 'earthly'. This VOID earth was the fact that in this earthly life, there was no salvation. He could bear NO FRUIT (= us--eternal life) so long as he was earthly. Remember he himself said, "except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and DIE it abideth alone". This meant his perfect, earthly life could not produce any 'fruit' or children to God. That is more proof of what we teach that his human body and human blood was not able to bring us salvation. That is not what we eat in order to have the fruits of eternal life. That was, as I have taught before, only the sacrifice for our sins. But this sacrifice for sins is NOT what gives us eternal life. That only made the 'cleansing' possible. But the WORD of God says, we must EAT his 'FLESH' AND DRINK HIS BLOOD to have eternal life ~~~~ or be his fruit to God. Now it is very clear that this FLESH AND BLOOD is the Word of God. So this Word is the Tree; it is the leaves which are our 'healing'. Healing from sin to have eternal life. That human 'tree' had to fall into the ground and die in order to become that tree of life = able to bear children to God. = children with eternal life = the glorified body. Glorious Revelation. |

Ge 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
I wrote a good, long message about this; but hit the paste thinggy instead of the copy, therefore lost it. I doubt I can recapture it. My mind is not holding it right now. It was so good. But I will try to recall some of it. This verse showed me something great. Jesus in him human life was the 'earth' without form and VOID. Now see, this VOID means it had no ability in it to bring forth LIFE. In his humanity, Jesus could not bring forth life unto God. He said unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abided alone. This means that as a human being, before his resurrection, he had no ability to give us eternal life. The Holy Ghost was not YET GIVEN. So after his resurrection into eternal life ~~~ into the likeness and image of God~~~~ he was given all power as God has, so now he is not VOID. Now he has inside himself the God life; now he has the power to bring forth children of God, to give us THE SEED OF LIFE INSIDE OURSELVES. Those of us who have the Baptism of the Holy Ghost are those trees with the seed of life inside ourselves. That Holy Ghost is the SEED. The word is the SEED of life. When we have the H.G. and feed on the Word, we are a tree with the seed of life inside ourself. Jesus brought forth grass with life inside itself. Our life is as GRASS. When the apostles received the Holy Ghost, they became those trees with the seed of life in themselves. This is the trees of life that Jesus bore after his resurrection. He is still bearing children to God. He is still giving out that seed of life. He could not do this in his earthly life. He was without form = (the form of God)- and VOID = COULD NOT BEAR FRUIT TO GOD. COULD NOT BRING FORTH CHILDREN WITH THIS SEED OF LIFE INSIDE THEMSELVES. GLORIOUS REVELATION. | |

There are two kinds of FRUIT. You are bearing one kind or the other. It all depends upon which method you choose to serve God in. This has not one thing to do with being a sinner. They are automaticly dead, lifeless, headed to hell. Romans 7: 4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Let's study these verses slowly: v4--ye become DEAD to the LAW by the body of Christ~~ for what? to be married to another = joined to another. who? who are we to be married to? to him WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD = THE RESURRECTED CHRIST ---- NOT THE JESUS BEFORE HIS CRUCIFIXION. what does this produce? --- that we should bring forth FRUIT to God.
v5--when we were in the flesh-- the motions of sins, which were by the LAW----brought forth FRUIT-- (but what kind of fruit?)------ FRUIT TO DEATH.
v6--- but now we are DELIVERED FROM THE LAW...... tht being DEAD..... wherein we were held = bound,----that we should walk in NEWNESS OF SPIRIT = life. FRUIT UNTO GOD --- THE SEED OF LIFE INSIDE US--- THE CHRIST IN US---THE HOPE OF GLORY. Jesus Christ, the resurrected Son of God, bearing trees with the seed of life in itself = children walking in newness of SPIRIT, FREED FROM THE LAW. WHICH BROUGH FORTH FRUIT TO DEATH. |

To any who are still confused as to the true nature of Jesus before and after his death, and resurrection, you will find this thread most helpful........that is if you are willing to open your mind and allow some LIGHT to infiltrate. This is food for my soul. I prayed this morning for Jesus to feed me some bread from heaven today. Finding this thread and given me that food. |

I have placed some mighty good fruit on the new thread concerning the question of who the old Serpent is. (I truly don't see how anyone could read all of that and still not see it!) |
