Just-A-Thought No.459 (April 7th. 2015) BE POSITIVE, BE TRULY ALIVE 24/7 (Part 3 of 4) YOU are your garden of Eden. According to Genesis, there are the two trees in the center of your garden/being. Positive and negative word producers. Don’t forget you consist of WORD plus the spirit of life breathed into you early on. However there can only be one middle or center point… so which tree maintains that center spot? The evidence of your choice is seen by your speech. When Adam ‘fell’ , the tree of life authority was nudged out of the center place by the carnal reasoning mind … and the daily ‘battle’ is on for the control of the release of thoughts … even though the spirit of Christ in your heart is far more powerful than the spirit of your mind in your brain. The tree of life is Christ in you. Jesus had to be identified with the tree of death by being crucified on a tree/cross. Jesus took your carnal life and thinking into death when he was nailed to that tree (cross). He is alive and we are alive with Him. Now is the time for each to acknowledge (or reaffirm) that your ‘old man’ is dead; so no longer listen to that spiritual corpse, reasoning voice within ... for greater is He within your (heart -- positive) thinking than he that is in the world, the natural scene….your body/flesh is in the world. The heart is the center of your life and is the throne of God ...the throne of Christ in you is the hope of the glory of God’s presence being manifested fully in you and then to the needy. t.b.c. |
