The Fruit that will remain having survived the freedom of choice

It seemed good to redirect the previous monologue titled "Jesus said..and through Whom".

What came to mind was the question, "What is the fruit of Righteousness"?

Fruit that contains the incorruptible seed is the only fruit that will in turn yield the fruit of righteousness because it was plucked from the tree that is "Righteous". sw

What good purpose can any parable serve if the one speaking the parable is not clearly understood to be in possession of God given insight. sw

Which is easier to believe, "I did not know and so in turn I did wrong" or "I did what is wrong because I gave no fore thought for the sake of the one who is seen as righteous in the sight of God". sw

 Prov 23:24
The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.
NIV

Ezek 3:20-21
"Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.

But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself."
NIV

Matt 10:40-42
"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me. Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and anyone who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward. 

And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward."  
NIV

Moving ahead I wish to borrow from a thought I once had. That thought came in this form, "What did Adam and Eve consider to be evil prior to eating from the Tree in the midst of the Garden God instructed them NOT to eat from?

What was the name of that "Tree"?

Were Adam and Eve at that prior time before their fall abounding only in the Love of God?

Abounding in terms of their knowledge which at that time came directly from God? Were they abounding in Gods insight (freedom) as God then demonstrated having given the one He created the liberty to name every living creature He also presented to Adam so that he in turn might name them?

As he named them were the words Adam pronounced simply words or did the words Adam spoke require the used facility of the "Breath" which God also gave to dirt which God then gave the Name, "Adam"?

Breath given to man in order to then enunciate "Given" names to all living creatures (provide their genesis)?

Names which have even to this day survived the turmoil of this fallen world in which we live?

Was it actually the fruit they ate that opened their eyes (insight)? Fruit that God also made and that because He also created the Tree it came from? Fruit that also had seeds in it?

OR was it the serpent that corrupted the essence of men (dust) who then opened himself by allowing the seed from another source to be received within himself to then manifest to the point to where they then acted and took from the fruit from the same tree?

In terms of giving ones self away, what did God form man from?

What would Adam still be to this Day if God had NOT Breathed life into him?

If the word of God is believed man was formed from the "Dust" (dirt) of the Earth and IF Adam gave himself away who did Adam give himself to? Did Adam simply give away the dirt his presence came from OR did Adam give away his God given dominion over the use of the spoken word(s)?

Have you ever watched CPR being administered to a dying person? To then observe the same type of Godly dispensation of breath as if the "Living" who then dispenses what they have living within them to the dying person?

In order to live does it require a man to also "Remember" to command his lungs to draw in air or does a man continue to draw air into his lungs because of his will to live that may or may NOT also be conscious?

In terms of sharing ones will to live, do the lungs hear words or does the Mind? How important does ones words then become in terms of reaching the person being considered as unconscious?

Rom 13:11

And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
NIV


What then was planted in the dust Adam was made from if not something spiritual in the form of words (fruit)?

If God is believed, would His breath used to pro-nounce words also prove to be "Seed"?

As do all things which also pertain to God as if the creator, ALL things He made will in their turning follow and that according to everything which is willing to follow the nature of His own spiritual order.

Gen 1:12-13
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
NIV

Mark 4:30
Again he said, "What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? NIV

Mark 4:31
It is like a mustard seed , which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground.
NIV

To borrow from what we understand today about gardening, were there now also "Weeds" planted in the soil God gave the name Adam?

Phil 1:9-11
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ — to the glory and praise of God.  NIV

What can become the righteous fruit of God if not THE fruit that also comes forth simply because God has spoken it into being (manifestation)?

How important then does the word "Believe" become as if it were the only way to consider Gods will which then becomes your own reality?

How valuable then does this fruit of righteousness then become and that beyond satisfying "Your own" appetite? Is it always marketable? No, obviously not in all instances yet at what point does the fruit YOU eat appear to others as something that also contains spiritual nutrional value?

In terms of others eating the same type of fruit based only the appearance of the fruit versus eating from the same tree, does the fruit you eat also have seeds in it?

Seeds that have not been corrupted (genetically altered)?

That would all depend upon the seeds found in the fruit your eating would it not?

Don't believe the Lie, all fruit has seeds.

If your being told "This one fruit has NO seeds, then ask "Where does any fruit come from if not the seed"?

Jesus said....and that through Whom?

Rom 8:20-21
For the creation was subjected to frustration , not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
NIV

How does what God created liberate itself?

The creation need only to "Believe" every word that has come from the mouth of God!

What if God were to show you presently what your are NOT?

As if part of the whole that has been since the beginning, how could he unless you also saw yourself somehow mixed in with the whole batch of dough He's using to illustrate His perspective?

And then that same God shows you in His next breath what He intended you to look like THEN in another day?

Do you say to yourself, "Why that's impossible! How can I? I could never accomplish becoming the image of what you have shown me"?

If you've said those words, you have spoken truly!

Luke 1:35-38
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God."

"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. NIV

What has anyone who says they've believed IN Christ also pursued as if the Power of God if not what God alone defines as His "Form" of righteousness?

Is it your faith you're so concerned about as if the measure you pursue or is it the measure of the faith of God you hope to be endowed with as if also "Your" faith?

Wouldn't that depend on what ONE looks like to you?

Some believers seem to love to chase the value of specific numbers found in scripture as if to decode what has been said. Numbers such a 3, 7, 8, 11,12, yet they'll forget that Jesus prayed FOR those who do believe will also become ONE.

Ps 57:1
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me, for in you my soul takes refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.
NIV

Maybe if some were to actually be truthful as to why there are so many different opinions concerning the Holy Spirit they might also see that they are also talking about ONE and the same God whom also gives that same spirit to as many as do have that deposit as His guarantee?

Religion argues over a lot of foolish issues, yet they'll discuss even more how little they do KNOW to be true about the person of God they say they represent.

It might be hard to see that which is otherwise invisible within the physical representation of a person, yet how hard is to see the manifestation of the presence of the Holy Spirit God Promises to give to those who believe?

You can give a scientific calculator to a toddler, yet what use is it except relatively cheap entertainment if the toddler is never taught how to tap into its contents and put what is otherwise available to GOOD use?

For that matter simply teach them HOW to read the owners manual for themselves and watch how much more they discover having invested their own time and interest that JUST might prove to be MORE than your own....

Don't fear, the children WILL know more, yet only those who have been taught what is "Righteous" as if seen THROUGH God's sight.

Many speak as if for God when they suggest something to be "IN God's sight", yet is that in all truth not an EXTERNAL perspective.

Some will argue for the benefit of their small world , "Well, You know what I intended those words to mean IN what I said"!

Really and how are the kids doing today? Are they JUST like you OR have you JUSTIFIED away the why they do look and act the way they do?

Matt 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
NIV

What would Christianity be today if only the words of Christ were the "Full" context of the bible that is truly "Believed"? And what if the ONLY opinion concerning all that is true about GOD were ONE and the same OPINION concerning the frame of that picture? 

As well when those same words were read or heard, it was clearly understood what was said about Him was given to interpret "Literally", yet wouldn't that require that God be the only ONE which then provides the interpretation?

How JUST and how simple is the declaration below in terms of the GREAT "I Am"?

Spiritually speaking, who is Israel as seen through Gods eyes if not Christ himself and who represents as if the suffix attached to Israel the "Ites" of today?

Many suggest today that they are the suffix at the end of the name of Christ (Christ-ians)

Those same Christ--IANS or the Israel-ITES as if the mini Me's of God.

How different do the hands and feet of Christ under His Headship appear today as IF willingly participating as has been depicted by the words of God?

Will it be the OLD and the New children of God who see His face? Wouldn't that also depend upon exactly who IS "Israel" as seen through the eyes of God?

There IS more to said about faith than believing God simply IS and IF being ONE with Him is the HOPE we hold onto as "Believer's", how then can we DO anything as if pleasing that is also NOT acting as the Heart of that same faith and that as ONE?

The "Institution" as if what the people are calling "Church" is also an institution that is divided against itself at present, however be thankful that some have managed to survive the effects of that same "Institutional-ized" WAY of thinking.

Jesus said I am the Way. Jesus also said He is the Truth and Life. None of those stand opposed to the other.

Ex 3:14
God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM . This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
NIV

John 14:19
Because I live, you also will live.
NIV

How do His words THEN find "YOU"?

How many third person conversations have YOU had or heard told? Those where someone has a friend who knew a friend that knows a guy who also knows THE Guy?

Would some of those scenarios then qualify as if a "Parable" told? 

Why not?

Is it because what's missing from the parable is the reality that ONLY the truth can reveal? As if  the personage of the third person "IN" the parable being talked ABOUT was what the whole parable was intended to be about?

If you DID know and truly believe that it is IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, would you say that the ones who killed the son mentioned below did NOT know that the one they killed was "The Heir?

Many assume because they personally didn't drive the nails or thrust the spear into the side of Jesus that they too did NOT participate in His death, yet they'll forget that it is the Life of His Spirit and the truth concerning His Life their own life now either testify's to or NOT.

What is the crime? 

In my opinion it's "Hiding the Truth you claim is in you"! 

Maybe others can't find the truth IN you? Maybe you see what you've been told is in you as if the size of a Mustard seed and that seed is now somewhere IN there among all the other clutter?

I sometimes find the humor when I think of child hood story of the "Pea" beneath the mattress.

Some might ask, "How have I hid the truth"?

The truth IS, many claim the "Truth" is within them yet its been treated a if it's "Lost"! 

And who is your "Brother"? Who IS His brothers keeper? Many only hear the story told of Cain and Abel, yet is that distant form or a parable also the essence of the story that is also the last story being told today? 

If the Lord Jesus as the First Born of the Beloved of God is not the one we are JOINT heirs with as if our brother, TRULY what have we preserved in theses clay Jars we seem to be so fond of?

Consider deeply the soil, the vineyard and the seed sown?

Many assume that a Gentile is a Non Jew, yet I would argue a Gentile spiritually speaking is defined as someone that see's the ways of God through the eyes of their otherwise OWNED and trusted imperfect futility.

Considered imperfect How? ....Only when compared to the Love of God He has already shown and given to us to show forth as the Love of Christ we claim is shed abroad in our hearts and that because of everything we say we believe to be TRUE!

Eph 4:17-19

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. 

Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. 
NIV

Matt 21:38-39
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to each other, 'This is the heir. Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance.' So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. 
NIV

The Apostle Paul later confessed that He acted out of "Ignorance" while persecuting Christians for what "They" chose to believe to be true about that Guy (Jesus the confessed son of God) many people were talking about . 

What Paul did not say is that he did NOT know, but instead that he "ignored" the otherwise obvious truth he later believed. Could that be why he later found himself able to speak as he does below?

Acts 3:17-18
"Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance , as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Christ would suffer. NIV

Zech 7:11-12

"But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and stopped up their ears.

They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry. 
NIV

I pray this has been encouraging and a healthy reminder of the substance we claim as our faith in Christ. Please join me later as I hope to be able to share the efforts of mining in the words of God as such that is available to everyone who has not allowed their hearts to be hardened.
