Judge Not the Tree

“You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.” John 8:15

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Release yourself from the bondage of judgement–judgement of yourself and of others. The Father judges no one; the Son judges no one; the Spirit judges no one. Since we have been made in His likeness and image, we are also not meant to judge.

Judgement is fruit of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil.

“A bad tree cannot bear good fruit, nor can a good tree bear bad fruit.”

You are a Tree of Life, so there is nothing left to do but Live.

Fruit of the Spirit

Does the fruit tree have to do anything in order to bear fruit? I mean, does it, in itself, have any power to produce fruit? Can it produce fruit faster than its appointed season? Can it produce whatever kind of fruit it wants to produce? Why then, do we try to do anything apart from the Spirit of God? Is it not the fruit of the Spirit we are meant to bear? Then why do we strive to do good works apart from Him? The Spirit is the one who does the work, we just have to go along for the journey. We just have to surrender to the truth of who we are, who we abide in, and then we will bear much fruit!
