Words of the Ministry
Adam and Eve were placed in the garden with several tree but there were two special trees, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Gen 2.15-17). Unfortunately, man ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and lost the opportunity to the tree of life. God then prevented man from accessing the tree of life by placing two Cherubims with flaming sword.
God’s intention in eternity past was for man to eat of the tree of life, by choosing him, God would have had access to enter into man’s spirit. That was why man was made in God’s image so that he can be a container for God just as the gloves is made in the image of the hand to contain the hand.
Our memory verses says he is the vine tree and he is life, when we juxtapose this, we have the tree of life. Christ again came through incarnation, death, burial and ascension to enter into man as Spirit, to cohabit with man in the Spirit as one Spirit. Galatians 2.20 says the Spirit of God lives in our spirit, so we have been joined as one Spirit (1 Cor 6.17). By this we can live the life he lived, we can walk the way he walked, with the same authority and the same power.
God wants us to live the proper life, he made an offer to all that were thirsty to come and drink referring to the Spirit of God that was not yet given because Christ was not yet glorified. During Jesus’ crucifixion, he said I thirst (Jhn 19.28) and gave up the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit was received by believers (Jhn 20.22) and the same Holy Spirit dwells in us.
God lives in us and from inside us he is spreading out his riches, he is making us same with him in life and nature but not in the Godhead. this would continue until we become same in image and likeness like what John the Apostle saw in Revelation 4.3 and 21.11, both the image of God and the new Jerusalem (Saints) became one image and likeness both looking like Jasper, saints radiating the glory of God that Adam fell short of, Hallelujah, Jesus is our tree of life.
