Tree of life

"In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Revelation 22.2

I see the Word of God as the Tree of Life. Its fruits are available only to those who believe in it in fact and in truth. They have the right to eat and feed on its fruits for eternity.

FRUITS OF AN ALLIANCE

"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."     John 15.5

The branches are the servants who bear fruits.
They bear fruits because they are connected to the Trunk (Jesus).
When the Spirit is in their sap, there are fruits. When the Spirit is not in their sap, there are no fruits.
Fruits do not mean works, they mean character.
The character of BEING A BRANCH; the character of BEING A SERVANT.

Strong Fruits

"He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper." Psalms 1:3

Those who have the Holy Spirit also go through deserts. But they not only survive them, but also become better, more mature in their faith, and filled with new experiences to be shared. Their work prospers with dignity.

Flesh or Spirit

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:5

It's easy to identify the person who walks in the Spirit, just look at her fruits. Those who are in the flesh only think of the things that please the flesh. They can't offer anything except things that are as fleshly as they are.

Fruits

"You will know them by their fruits."

Matthew 7.16

You know the tree by its fruits. But the foolish one doesn't wait on time to see the fruits, decides regardless of them. The result is old plain frustration.

Deceit

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."

James 3:17

When one encounters the soul Purifier, a spiritual transformation happens in such a way that the new fruits and compassion testifies of the new life.

Tears of Injustice

"You number my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book?"

Psalms 56:8

God sees injustices suffered because of His Name and He certainly doesn't let them be unpunished. Sooner or later, His servants will reap the fruits of perseverance.

Looking

"Then He told them a story: "A man had an apple tree planted in his front yard. He came to it expecting to find apples..." Luke 13:6

Faith, when practiced daily, pleases God as He sees His Children counting on His power. This glorifies Him.

FRUIT

"A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." Matthew 7:18-19

Those who belong to God are like the trees planted by the rivers. They give shadow to the weary and refreshes the soul of the afflicted with the counsel of God's Law. They clothed in justice. But those who fail to live this way are cut off and thrown in the fire.

The Tree

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.

For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought, nor cease to yield fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8

When you establish your trust in God, His presence refreshes and satisfies your soul in such a way that even if problems come, you are steadfast and certain of victory; and still, you are able to infect others with this living water - the drink from the Rivers of God.
