“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” John 1:1
When I was in the Gym today, I was listening to a sermon by Andrew Shearman on the 42nd Generation. This sermon explains how the church is the body of Christ and actually is Christ on earth right now.
Andrew went into the story of the Garden of Eden and something struck me right across the face. When the devil came and tempted Eve while Adam was sleeping; attack on mankind was happening. Adam was sleeping, that should give us men a huge kick in the pants, but eventually Eve told Adam what had happened and they went to find answers at the tree of knowledge of good and evil. In the midst of chaos and lies, they ran to the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
I believe that the trees are metaphorically real today. We go through things in life that we just can’t comprehend and understand. I know with personal experience that I have run to find the answers. I have demanded that God tell me what is going on. I have wanted to be like God and understand what is going on.
Erin and I have gone through tough times but we are resting together in unity. I feel as though the devil wants a generation to fall out of the rest of what the Father is doing and run to the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. I feel as though we have been trained by the world to know what is going on and to comprehend everything, theology, mysteries etc. I believe God is saying, rest in Him and allow the tree of life to flood you with His goodness.
There is a generation out there amongst the multi-generations of Christ that will walk in the fullness. I have no idea what that means yet but I am starting to understand resting in the Father and allowing Him to direct my steps.
I ask you to run to the tree of life today and when you get it, give it away to someone that needs it. The answers are all at the tree of life, not the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
