Renewed in the spirit of Your Mind
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 2:8,9
Three types of trees?
1) tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;
2) the tree of life also
3) and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Adam you can eat of EVERY tree in the garden "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:" Genesis 2:16,1 So good was in every tree in the garden but when combined with evil we see the law of sin and death.
Many today think that being good or doing good can save them. All it does is produce death no matter how good good can be. The good of God can only be experienced through participation in the life of God. Evil mingled with man’s good produced DEATH. And even before he fell, all of man’s good, of itself, could not give him true LIFE – only the tree of life could give man eternal, divine, incorruptible life!
John saw this truth when he by the Holy Spirit wrote ---->That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:1-3
QUOTE - The knowledge of good and evil always concerns itself with external behavior and judges all things upon the basis of whether it is “good” or “evil.” Man, as long as he walks in this realm of the fall, the knowledge of good and evil, can only understand and judge within this framework: is a thing good or is it evil? He then presumes that if a thing is “good” it must be of GOD! Nothing could be farther from the truth. If “good” was acceptable with God then man could surely be justified by “the works of the law.” The “good” of man is the good of the creature – not the good of the Creator! end of quote
It is the "Word" of life. Woman listened to her own carnal reasoning .... Notice
1) She lies (God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.) See God did say "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: ..... No where did God say not to touch it.
2) Her second lie is "lest ye die" God said "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." She dropped the word "surely" And "surely" =to die, kill.
Putting "surely die" together is to say 'As long as you are dust you shall die and if you eat of that tree you shall die from my life, for your knowledge will be of good and evil and not the knowledge of life."
After She lies she then adds the works of God to her lies to justify the eating of the tree of knowledge.
1) "the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes" See God grew "every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food;..." Notice the works of God is pleasant to the SIGHT, and good for food. Yet she looks at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and thinks to her self "when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes,"
This tree of knowledge is good for food no longer the knowledge of God and not only that it is pleasant to the "EYES." Woman lost sight of God's life to place her eyes (mind, thoughts) upon the wrong tree and then within her mind she reasons "...a tree to be DESIRED to make one wise"
Her desire is knot upon Him but upon being wise by the knowledge of good and evil.
See the knowledge of the Lord is Life. The knowledge of good and evil is Law. Law brings the restraint of evil and the definition of what is good. The problem is that when man came into the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL he did not come into a better condition. Man came to know “good and evil” but he didn’t come to KNOW GOD!
He now possesses a knowledge of the good and the evil but he does not possess the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD! He merely added evil to his good producing a mixture of the two, but in so doing he forfeited THE LIFE AND GLORY AVAILABLE TO HIM IN THE TREE OF LIFE.
He chose good and evil – but missed LIFE! He chose good and evil – he missed GOD!
That is the state of mankind today and as long as they don't see that truth they shall die in their sin! “For to be CARNALLY MINDED IS DEATH; but to be spiritually "minded" is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. For if ye LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YE SHALL DIE” Romans 8:6-7,13
Again: “He that soweth to his FLESH shall OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; but he that soweth to the SPIRIT (tree of life) shall OF THE SPIRIT REAP LIFE EVERLASTING” Galatians 6:8
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:4
And be RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:23,24
The whole objective of God in the creation, and now in redemption, is not for me to be either “good” man or “evil” man, but to be the manifested sons of God. The Word of life is changing and transforming my life, not for the the improvement of my behavior but the development of THE LIFE OF GOD within me.
Those who would be sons of God must understand what the fundamental difference between life and works is. Simply speaking, life is growth, while works are human actions. That which is produced by our own human efforts is works – the “good” part of the fall, of the tree of knowledge.
Only that which is produced naturally from the development of the life of God within us IS LIFE. Only that which is of life pertains to the realm of sonship.
So many confuse the flesh and the carnal mind with the Word, the life of God and say God is doing or that God said so.
Sonship is being an overcomer, being one that hears the light of the Word and turns from the darkness of the carnal mind.
Hear the light ---->He who is in union with the tree of life has the power to offer that to others of which they can eat and live.
Let MYSTERY BABYLON harlots sit at the base of the mountain and fight for her title rights. The true sons of God will see Him AS HE IS and as so they shall be AS HE IS!
Hear what the Spirit says unto them that have ears to hear ---->"if you would be a Royal Priesthood after the order of Melchizadek, after the power of an endless life, learn, I say, to abide in Christ. Learn, if you would rule and reign over nations, if you would bless all the families of the earth in that glorious age to come, learn, I say, to ABIDE IN CHRIST, to know HIM AS LIFE, and you shall surely reign and bless. As surely as the branch abiding in a fruitful vine bears fruit, so surely, yea, much more surely, will a son abiding in Christ with His fullness of life and blessing be made life and blessing unto the ends of the earth!"
The Spirit and the bride say COME!
