The fig tree representing the knowledge of good and evil would not dare to offer fruit to what it knew to be the Creator and in return it was blessed rather than cursed because of its reverence. When it was made complete for all mankind to know what already existed concerning good and evil versus life, then there was no more any fruit to be eaten from that tree. The only reason humans percieve they are eating from that tree today is a figment of their own imagination.<br /><br />Peace to all, God is God and there is no good or evil.<br /><br />Thank you Izumi, you are a sweet prophet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-40248809123971749192009-07-22T14:53:25.023-04:002009-07-22T14:53:25.023-04:00God afternoon beloved Universe,
Here's what t...God afternoon beloved Universe,<br /><br />Here's what the post illuminates for me: <br /><br />v.12 - Jesus and His disciples had just left Bethany, "house of dates". Dates are fruit from a certain type of palm tree.<br /><br />Some descriptions of such are: tall, flourishing, and upright. Its branches are (prophetically) symbolic for victory. <br /><br />The crowds in v. 8 (previous chapter) waved their branches, and placed them along the route where Jesus travelled.<br /><br />He entered into the holy city by praise. <br /><br />What did He find in His serious observations? John 9:4, maybe? <br /><br />Did He confer with Himself about the date and advent of the Comforter? <br /><br />Verse 9 notes that some in the crowd proclaimed God's plan: "Infinitely blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." <br /><br />But, it wasn't yet the hour.<br /><br />Isn't it interesting that Jesus realized He was hungry? He'd just left places known as, "house of unripe figs", "house of dates", and Mount of Olives. <br /><br />Plus, He had just assessed the earth's topography; took everything in v. 11. (think, John 4:34)<br /><br />In the natural, we see Jesus, the man. One site notes that figs are symbolic of peace, and prosperity; used medicinally.<br /><br />Maybe that's a reason why He calmly spoke to that tree. (redeemed it from Genesis 3:7, if you can imagine) <br /><br />Outwardly, it seems like the Lord cursed the tree. But, what if He restored the Kingdom with His words?Izumi/JOYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-54683875850346559652009-07-22T14:34:05.866-04:002009-07-22T14:34:05.866-04:00On twitter this morning I was going to say somethi...On twitter this morning I was going to say something about "believing" about how powerful it is - God is showing me this lately in a situation dealing with my mother. If you believe something it will be reality to you, you can actually make it happen. I just now read your posting Bishop on verses 12 - 33.

However, this should not be, especially when treatment IS AVAILABLE and HAS BEEN OFFERED to us, yet we reject the treatment because it didn't not come with spoons full of sugar or honey or rubbed on as fragrant salve and ointment which we believe would fix everything, if we would have had more understanding, more love in our childhoods, people to nurture / pacify us,co-workers to encourage us, etc. In essence, it may not be to our own liking or choosing where or how we began the journey, yet the power of decision, perseverance, faith in God, and willingness to MOVE FORWARD to receive what is necessary serves as the turning point of the healing, deliverance, breakthroughs, miracles, etc. A change of mindset and deciding to let go of all the crutches and bottles that have been used to prop us up through our lives is a true sign of Maturity in Christ, "Coming of Age" so to speak, and GROWING UP and cutting spiritual teeth that we may be able to chew and digest Meat and not live life being spoon and bottle fed babes. Jesus came about to set the captives free, yet we must choose if we will walk in freedom or self-imprisonment based on our own words and actions. May God's word become so real to us that we allow the Holy Spirit to REVEAL IN US and THROUGH US the plan of GOD FOR US that we may bask in His Presence, showing forth as Lights unto and in the darkness, even if the darkness is the recesses of our own minds.SCRIBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331018507497594356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-2047852104105933682009-07-22T10:27:34.409-04:002009-07-22T10:27:34.409-04:00This is yet another ultimate example of how Jesus ...This is yet another ultimate example of how Jesus showed up in places and set the records straight and environments in proper order, while making absolutely NO APOLOGIES for telling the truth to put all the foolishness to shame. WOW! When everyone tends to use the catchy phrase "WWJD- What would Jesus Do? Well we can see clearly that what Jesus would do is what He always did, which is TELL THE TRUTH... not the truth that was comforting or popular, but the Divine Truth which is delivered to Set the Captives Free. And those that became disgruntled and uptight by this, these were the very ones that were confound and confronted by their own madness and mayhem. Perhaps, they would have been more comfortable and jolly had Jesus left them alone to abide in all the nonsense, even if their habitual rituals were damaging and debilitating to their own livelihoods and well beings. <br /><br />Therefore, when the Word instructs us to speak the truth in love at all times, the truth of God itself IS LOVE whether it is well received or not. Selah... It is nonetheless the truth simply because it may not be what some want or care to hear. The TRUTH by way of the Holy Spirit comes forth to create shifts in thinking, realigning or changing paradigms and the opening of eyes and hearts to the GREATER GOOD, not the common good. The TRUTH of God is not about what simply FEELS good, but more so about what will be FOR OUR GOOD. For example, if there is an open wound present on our bodies or in the BODY OF BELIEVERS that is leaking, oozing, bleeding, whereas no treatment is sought for proper, deep, and thorough cleaning of the wounds, sometimes through cauterizing, snipping or scraping away dead tissue which can be quite painful, yet far more detrimental to the entire being as a whole if it is not cared for through appropriate medical attention, then the life and lifeblood itself is in grave danger of becoming a casualty as disease and rampant infection sets in. So, the crucial and timely decisions must be made as to whether we go through the immediate pain and suffering for the medical care to be administered that has the potential to save a life, or would we rather have someone simply put a bandage on the wound without treating it, where further infections set in, creating the reality of probably amputation or death because the healing process is stagnated due refusal of treatment?SCRIBEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16331018507497594356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-63147414068358421832009-07-22T09:30:53.427-04:002009-07-22T09:30:53.427-04:00I say to every good fruit tree in me that it will ...I say to every good fruit tree in me that it will be productive!<br />I want all passers-by who are hungry to come and dine on the fruits of the Spirit made manifest on my branches!<br /><br />hmmm...are there money changers or robbers in my house of prayer, the temple of the Holy Spirit, my secret place with the Most High?<br />Are there distractions I have placed there that need to be driven out?...by whip or will?<br /><br />How can I show the most respect while I am in that place?<br /><br />Bishop, thanks for the post this morning.
