🔸️ Good fruit must come from the pure essence of the heart! 🔸️
'Can grape fruits be hung on thorns in order to give good fruits?' (Matthew 7:16). Yes, we can never produce good fruits on our own efforts.
Does a mango tree produce mangoes on its own and hang them on it? Not at all! Good mangoes are derived from the life of the tree. If the tree is good, it will bear good fruit on its own. That means if we want good fruits, our whole focus should be on the tree or on its root that produces life!
If our intention, which is like the root of a tree, is evil, that is, if we do not truly repent, sincerely not reconciled and without a clear conscience.....no matter how many mangoes we hang here and there and give an attractive appearance to people, it is totally deceptive.
If we truly want to change the tree good, we must be the ones who allow Jesus to place the ax on the fleshly root. Thus if the ax falls on the root and brings death to the flesh, the new life within us will blossom into the Divine nature through the Holy Spirit!
Jesus clearly taught that in order to identify a true prophet, one must identify with his life fruits. Because the Bible warns that many false prophets will raise on the last days. Today we are standing on the edge of the last days. It is very important to correctly analyze the false prophets living in this age! Good heart and good fruit...let it be our primary aspects!!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! It is not the life that has changes in outward appearance; give us the grace for the growth of 'good fruit' that results from the purification of our inner heart! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
