The Daily Word of Righteousness

Passing Through the Waters, #20

And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. (Ezekiel 47:12)

The river of eternal life is found only in the new Jerusalem, only in the Wife of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. (Revelation 22:2)

The curse will be lifted from the earth by the revealing of God through Christ through the saints in whom Christ dwells.

And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: (Revelation 22:3)

The righteous of the nations of the earth will be permitted to enter the new Jerusalem and eat of the tree of life (referred to as one tree because it always is Christ in the saints).

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Revelation 22:14)

The Lord's trees of life, the royal priests, the sons of God, the brothers of Christ, are being prepared today. We are being changed into His image.

As soon as we have been prepared perfectly and completely, the Lord Jesus will appear. We shall appear with Him. All the life and glory being created in us now will appear for the release and blessing of the nations of the earth.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)

Let us not grow weary of attending on the Lord day and night, night and day. Let us accept the endless probings and testings, the trials and sufferings, realizing they are the only way in which we can become life-giving spirits. God never causes us to experience pain unless such pain is essential to the accomplishing of the destiny to which He has ordained us.

We must never compare what God is doing to us with the manner in which He deals with someone else. Each of us has a unique destiny. We never can come to God along with someone else. Although God uses other people to strengthen and bless us, each son of God must have a unique experience with the Lord.

There is an alarming tendency today for Christians to find more solace in one another than they do in God. This tendency of "togetherness" will lead to Laodicea, to Antichrist. The work of the Kingdom is not accomplished by people working together in love and harmony. The work of the Kingdom is accomplished only as God through Christ works through the individual.

Love and harmony are integral aspects of the Kingdom of God. They come into being as the result of the establishing of the Kingdom. The Kingdom does not come into being as the result of human love and harmony. The Kingdom comes first. The love and harmony follow.

To be continued.
