There are Two Trees in the Garden

In the Kingdom of God, two trees still exist, and my people eat from both of them, says the Lord.

What tree are you eating, what fruit are you consuming, and what is that fruit producing in you? Each tree has a fruit that, when consumed, has an effect and a result from that consumption.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil has a distinct flavour and is attractive. It is very divisive and deceptive in the extreme, for it makes those who consume it think that they are eating of The Tree of Life when, in fact, it is only death to them. This is because the outcome of consuming this Tree of Good and Evil is to believe you are God, and the result is pride. With this attitude of pride, you think you can solve all your problems in life, rule over your circumstances, and even make yourself taller or live longer. You believe that your wisdom knows all things, has a handle on all mysteries and that you have it all together, knowing your destiny and future. Your

pride declares to yourself and those around you that you are God.

But those who eat the other tree, the Tree of Life, understand they are not God. For this tree’s fruit is humility, and humility is knowing that there is only one God and that they are dependent on him alone. This knowledge opens the door to God's superabundant favour, lovingkindness, and lavish grace.

Therefore, it is worth considering where you have been eating from, whether you have pride in your heart, and whether you have been deceived into thinking you are God. That might be the answer to why you aren't getting the answers to your prayers that you need or why your actions, attitudes, and behaviours keep getting you into trouble.

The Tree of Life is still in the garden; eat of it, humble yourself, and He will lift you up. Another name for the Tree of Life is the Bread of Life, Jesus the Christ, The One True God, and The Saviour of the World. Eat of Him.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. James 4:10

Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, seven casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7
