Two Trees Part 5

By Pastor Ric

Part 5 of a 5 Part series
The law of seedtime and harvest is a part of the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and the law of sin and death.

People make plans, but the plans they make are made in a temporary world, a world that is tied to time. But time is rapidly running out.

In our daily lives, everything we do is connected to time, we get up by the clock and we go to bed by the clock, we keep appointments and we live by dates on a calendar.

But God does not exist in time, He is outside of time, in eternity, with His voice, the word of God, who came to earth and became Jesus Christ, the son of God and His Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God.

Before God formed the earth and the universe, before time began, God established His plan of salvation in the Spirit and His plan is eternal and will last forever..

Chapter 1 - The god of this world has blinded minds.

T

he third chapter of Genesis tells us that in the beginning, there were two trees placed in the garden by God, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life  . These two trees represent two pathways,the Tree of life is a pathway in the spirit, the narrow way and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a pathway in the human mind, without the spirit. It is a pathway of living life from our natural mind without acknowledging God, it is living in unbelief, without faith.

The way we live in the pathway of the tree of life is to live continually by the faith of Christ thinking from the mind of Christ without ever thinking in the natural mind which contains all the thinking and ideas that came from the world this worlds way of thinking comes from satan who blinds the mind to live in the natural mind, so that a person can never be aware of living from the mind of Christ who resides in faith in a human mind.

In these two trees are two laws that God has established. The seed of the tree of life is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, the seed of the laws of the kingdom of God. And the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the seed of the knowledge of the law of sin and death  .

The seed of the Spirit of life contains salvation that Jesus gave us access to when He died on the cross and was resurrected. And the seed of the law of sin and death is the seed that God did not give to us but comes from satan who seeks to control and destroy us. 

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, But when desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12

So how does satan blind the minds of people who are operating in the law of sin and death the knowledge of their own decision of good and evil.

The other day I was listening to a video that was explaining how a new discovery of a substance called graphene is now being used to treat patients that have mental problems. 

This graphene substance can be injected into a patient and it works it’s way into problem areas of the brain.

The graphene can act like a transmitter and receiver and a signal can be sent from outside of the patient to activate the graphene, which instructs the brain to act in a certain way.

So right now surgeons are using graphene to try to treat Alzheimer's disease, by replacing the brain's instruction with a new one.

But the world’s intention through satans thinking, is not to cure the sick, it is to use this graphene as an aid to being able to control a person's thinking, turning them into mindless slaves.

This sounds like science fiction, but it is so called science fact, they are already using graphene to treat patients and they are rapidly working toward mind control.

As I was listening to this video the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said they can control an unrenewed mind, but they cannot control a renewed mind.

I want to give you two verses which show that this word came from the Holy Spirit

Proverbs 25:26 When a lover of God gives in and compromises with wickedness, it can be compared to contaminating a stream with sewage or polluting a fountain. 

Romans 6:6 Could it be any clearer that our former identity is now and forever deprived of its power? For we were co-crucified with him to dismantle the stronghold of sin within us, so that we would not continue to live one moment longer submitted to sin’s power.

So these two scriptures are saying that when we ignore thinking and living from our faith container in the mind (explained in Appendix 6  ) we automatically think and live from the container in the mind that ignores God, this is living from the image of our old unrenewed self, when we do that, our mind becomes like a contaminated stream or a polluted fountain, full of lies and untruth coming from satan through the minds and communication of the world.

This is how the god of this world, satan controls people,by presenting polluted thoughts and ideas which people receive and store in their container of untruth, thinking from the contents of this container in our mind leads to eternal death, because mankind cannot live in isolation to God,for God completely sustains us in life, cut off from Him, we die.

But when we are constantly being renewed in the Spirit of our mind and we live out of a renewed mind, which is the mind of Christ, we constantly receive word from the mind of Christ and we begin living by faith, faith is the activator of God’s word seed of living power  .

The Holy Spirit says to us let this mindset be in you, the mindset of Jesus be your council, guide and motivation.

Here, the Holy Spirit is talking about us allowing the mind of Christ to be revealed in our faith container. We are the ones who must choose to abandon natural thinking and memory that comes from satans controlled world. He is talking about abandoning or putting to death every thought and memory that is not of God, by the word of God, to reveal the mind of Christ in you.

We do this by first being born again   and receiving the Holy Spirit, without receiving Him we cannot ask Him to bring the revealing of the mind of Christ within us. In fact without first being born again, we cannot access our faith container, we are blind to faiths existence.

But once we are born again we must live continually in and from our faith container, because our faith container is where the mind of Christ is being revealed as we grow in Christ, His thoughts become our thoughts, His ways become our ways.

The mind of Christ is thinking far above natural world thinking, it is Spirit and and operates in us as a law, the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, it is above the law of sin and death and living in and by faith, sets us free from the natural law of sin and death, living continually in faith, literally puts to death the container of sin and death thinking, the container of the worlds thinking in our mind.

It is amazing that Christ has already put to death the container of sin and death,but it hs to be revealed to us in our faith container that this container is dead, nailed to His cross 

This is why God said my thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways, because God's thoughts and His ways are Spirit and God wants His thoughts to be our thoughts and His ways to be our ways so that we can continually walk in His Spirit in eternal life.

God wants us to live in the Spirit of His mind and not in the spirit of our old self, letes look more at why this is

It is because the minds of a world influenced by satan, can control the mind of your old self, it keeps you locked in a prison of the mind, that can only access natural thoughts and ideas and can only act in natural thoughts and ideas, completely limited to this thinking which is far below the thinking in the mind of the Spirit, the mind of Christ, which is supernatural, far above the natural.

Why is thinking from the mind of Christ so important, it is because everything, the whole of creation came from the mind of Christ when He spoke it into being, the mind of Christ knows everything, all knowledge and understanding is in Him  .

This is why it is so important to take down the image of our old self, our old way of thinking and living,we are to cast out every thought that
