MY GREEN TREE: BY WIN CAIN The seed of Jesus in us can never die because the seed is the LOGOS, the WORD, and the Word cannot of its nature return to God void. Our Adamic nature will rebel against this seed and try to kill it saying it never really exists. The denial that it came into the sanctuary of our heart and abides there, though ignored, is something we don't even want to recognize while we're in sin (unbelief). But out of obvious sight it will slowly grow even amid the tangle and weeds; of our unkept garden and in our season of dire need we shall see it standing up, green and vibrant. Do you feel entangled and helpless to free yourself from what you've allowed to grow or not grow in your garden Win? It is September and the things that were not properly cared for look bad but don't give up! God's plan of restoration is in you to perform seasonally that good and precious work. So how? So how do I live so this can be facilitated? By those who are of the Seed, not seeds of Abraham, Good Jews bow down to no man and that includes your own image of yourself, as well, but humble yourself in the sight of the Lord! To best do this see notes on: "The Power of One Man, Chapter. 3, The Wisdom of Weakness" by Peter Demetris. "Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord and you will be lifted up" (James 4:10. This and this alone is all you can do. And so I have a question, Lord, "Is not the sight of this Green Tree the thing that expedites humbling, rather than the awareness of my own sinfulness and the sins of others?" You see I have always been so lofty and proud and actually unable to really know how to humble myself. Both day and night I have diligently searched for answers! I have been broken time and again. I've felt your touch and known your love but the degree of all that had still not sufficiently removed me from the unbelief that such a one as I could become like Jesus. Recently I have turned a corner. The desire to be like you Lord is expeditiously Expedite: extricate, held forward, free the feet of, set in motion as a result of these past seven years of study into the Feast of Tabernacles. Passover and Pentecost have become clearer and much more dear to me as veil-- as true feasts set before us and to be fully entered into and remembered as marvelous parts of our journey! The Feast of Tabernacles study has brought fire into my garden so that even a two thousand year old sequoia tree (Roman Catholic initiated doctrine) has burned up , still there is a Green Tree standing up inside of me a sign and yet it is Jesus. Isaiah 60:21,22 "Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch (greenness guard, to protect, maintain) of my planting (to strike as lightening in), the work of my hands, that I may be glorified (Christ in me the hope of glory). A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation; I the Lord will hasten it in his time." What's happening is happening — I'm ascending even though my mother's children (Catholic and Pentecostal teachers alike) were angry with me; and they made me the keeper of the vineyards (a church worker); "my own vineyard I have not kept" (Song of Sol. 1:6b). But I have endured affliction and a sure word is now established in me so that I quickly find beauty in the place of ashes — My Green Tree. return Well Drawers:
