How To Have God's Life Living In You
by Tony Alamo
The Bible tells us that if a person is going to Heaven, they must have God's Spirit living in them since God's Kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. 1 If a man has the Spirit of God in him, he is a Christian, and God's Word calls Him the temple of God. 2 The Word of God tells us that all the millions of people who had the Spirit of God living in them, from the beginning up till now, are called Christians, the building of God. 3 Why? Because God in the Spirit of Jesus is living in every one of them. This means every one of them is part of God's building, cemented together with God's Spirit. 4 This is the building where the Triune God lives. 5 This is where He works, doing His will through Spirit-filled humans, "temples." 6 Most people calling themselves Christians are not Christians because God, in Jesus, is not living or working in them. 7 If He were living and working in them, we would see the work of God being done in them, and we would never see Satan working in them, as we do now. 8
Everything connected with God's business, including the building or temple of God, totally depends on Jesus, who is the Tree of Life. 9 Any deep student of the Bible will see that Jesus, the Tree of Life, is the tree man must eat to have God's life in him. This fact is mentioned throughout the entire Bible. 10
How do we eat God into us? And where is the Tree of Life? In the second chapter of Genesis, the foundation is laid for the whole Bible when it states that the Tree of Life, the Word of God, is God in Jesus and that man must eat Him to have eternal life. 11 Again, how do we eat God in Jesus to have eternal life? Not with our mouths, but with our eyes and ears. I will explain this later.
Throughout the Old and New Testaments, we see that God's will is to live His life so He can accomplish His purpose inside human bodies. 12 God presented Himself to man in the form of food as the Tree of Life, so the Tree of Life is, in reality, God. 13 But again, where is the Tree of Life to be found that we might eat it to have eternal life? This first mention of Jesus being the Tree of Life, or the food we must eat to have eternal life, is in the second chapter of Genesis. 14 This tree is also mentioned at the end of the Bible in the twenty-second chapter of Revelation, 15 and is referred to throughout the entire Bible in many other terms.
The Bible uses many other terms to portray Jesus as the Tree of Life whom we must eat to have the life of God with His power, dominion, and authority both living and working in us. The chief term is the "Word of God," because Jesus is the Word of God. 16 He is also the sacrificial Lamb eaten by all the Old Testament patriarchs. In Egypt, on the night of the Passover, all Israel had to acknowledge the blood of Jesus, the Messiah, on their doorposts, lintels, and thresholds signifying the cross where Jesus, the Messiah, would die for the sins of the world. 17 If they did not, the firstborn of every family that wouldn't acknowledge the blood of Jesus, the Messiah, would die. 18 The Jews were all sinners. They had to acknowledge the blood of Jesus, the Messiah, because there is no forgiveness of sins without the shedding of blood, and in that time, the symbol of the blood of Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb. 19 Also, they had to eat the sacrificial Lamb in haste to have, by faith, God's life in them. 20 God's life is in the blood of Jesus, the Messiah. 21 Eating the Lamb of God in haste was done because the destroyer could come at any time. 22 The blood of Jesus "taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). When the Jews acknowledge and accept Jesus, the Messiah, they will have God in Jesus, the Messiah, living in them with His life, power, authority, and dominion, and He will again fight for Israel, just as He did in the days of Moses. 23 Then, no enemy of Israel will prosper. 24
Some of the other symbolic references to Jesus being the Tree of Life that we must eat in haste and drink for our eternal life are the "manna," 25 other burnt offerings, 26 "the hidden manna," 27 "the bread of life," 28 the flesh and blood of Jesus, 29 the "shewbread," 30 the lampstand, 31 "the light," 32 the river of life, the stream of life, and the fountain of life. 33 The sprouting rod of Aaron was placed in the ark of God in the most holy place of the temple along with the hidden manna and the testimony, which is the five books of Moses and the law on two tables of stone which God Himself wrote. 34 All are symbolic of God in Jesus living in us, if we are Christians. The lampstand in the holy place, the most holy place, the light of the world, 35 the Comforter, 36 the resurrection, 37 the vine, 38 the way, the truth, and the life, 39 and many other names are used in the Bible to refer to Jesus, the Tree of Life. 40
The Bible begins with two trees, and it ends with the result of the two trees. 41 The Word of God begins in the same way that it ends. 42
God never created man so that man could live according to his own will, do his own work, have his own ministry, or live independently from God. God and man must become one through Jesus for man to have eternal life and for God to do His work in him and through him. 43 God told Adam what his purpose was in the first chapter of Genesis. God's purpose was to give Adam and his descendants His authority, dominion, and power over all birds, all fish, all cattle, all beasts, and "every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Adam was to subdue the earth (Gen. 1:26). 44 The entire Bible tells us that God's purpose is to live in man, whom He created in His image, 45 so He can express Himself through every age both in and through obedient mankind. 46 In this way, He is also able to deal with His enemy, Satan, and all the unclean evil spirits who follow Satan. 47
There are three beings in the universe. The first is God, the second is Satan, and the last is man. Man stands in the valley of decision between God and Satan. 48 Man, with his free will, decides who he will spend eternity with. 49 Everything is the business of God in Jesus because "by Him were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible" (Col. 1:16). This means that His living and working in obedient human flesh (Christians) gives His power, dominion, and authority to them so they can rule everything and subdue the earth. 50
Moses wrote a clear record of God's entire creation (Genesis chapter 1), which Israel preserved for the world to see and receive. 51 This record shows that on the sixth day of creation, God made a man in His own image to live in and work in. 52 Before God created man in His own image for Him to live in, He was merely a Spirit. 53 He was abstract, invisible, and hidden. 54 His purpose is to represent Himself to the world in man as a man so the people of the world, seeing God representing Himself in a man, the image of God, will understand how to know Him personally, which means they will realize the importance of eating God in Jesus, the Tree of Life, to have His life in them. Then they can know God by His living in them through their reading and hearing the Word of God and be transformed from fallen men to God-men. God is not eaten into man's spirit through the mouth as we eat food necessary for our human bodies. God, the Word, which is our spiritual food, is eaten into us through our eyes and ears by our reading and hearing the Word of God, which again is the Tree of Life.55
OUR REWARD IS TO EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE
Revelation 2:7, 17 and 22:14 tell us that our right to eat from the Tree of Life depends on whether or not we keep all of God's commandments. 56 We are rewarded for keeping God's commandments by being given the right to eat from the Tree of Life. When we don't keep God's commandments, we cannot eat from the Tree of Life any more than Adam could have after he disobeyed God's command. This is because "Sin is the transgression of [God's] law" (I John 3:4). Sin separates us from God, the Tree of Life, just as sin separated Adam from God, the Tree of Life. 57 If we're separated from God, we cannot eat from the Tree of Life. We have no right to, because God doesn't reward sin or unrepentant sinners. God only rewards those who obey His commandments, and if we don't eat from the Tree of Life, our inward man dies. 58 "Your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear" (Isa. 59:2).
Throughout the Bible, God has only used obedient human flesh to live and rule in. 59 God in Jesus by the life and Spirit in God's Word created all things. 60 Therefore, He and He alone has the authority to rule everything. However, He does His ruling through obedient human flesh. Jesus tells the world, "All power is given unto Me in Heaven and in earth" (Matt. 28:18), and added that Satan "hath nothing in Me" (John 14:30). On earth, God's authorities are those He lives in, His ministers, those who let God tell them what to say and what to do throughout every waking hour of every day. 61 Jesus said, "I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do. I act in full agreement with His orders" (John 14:31, orig. Gk.).
Ungodly men don't know God. 62 God is not in them. Having them teach the Word of God is the same as having me teach people how to fly the Concord. They say we can never understand God or know what He wants us to do, and they ask why He would need mere human beings to do anything for Him. The answer is that He doesn't need human beings to do anything for Him other than be a temple for Him to live in and do His work in. 63 To do this, to be willing to achieve God's purpose with Him, we must eat Him, the Tree of Life, into us. We must continually, for the rest of our lives, eat only Jesus, who is the Word of God, the bread of life, and the hidden manna, if we are to have God in Jesus dwelling in us daily as our eternal life, power, dominion, and authority to rule everything that God wants to rule from within us. 64 We must also do this so that we, by God's power within us, can both endure and cope with everything in this dangerous world we live in. 65
The Lord's intention is not to rule men as worldly rulers do, for God's Kingdom is not of this world, but of Heaven. 66 He told the people of Israel this when they tried to make Him a king. He rejected their offer. 67 Later, He told them that He is the "bread which came down from Heaven" for men to eat so that He might live in them and rule everything in the world through them and with them (John 6:58). 68 God never created man from the dust of the earth or made him a living soul to be a politician or any other worldly thing. He created man to be one with Him, so He could live in him and work in him doing spiritual, Kingdom-of-God things, not worldly things. 69 This is man's highest calling, "the high calling of God," to be called by God to do God's will rather than the will of man (Phlp. 3:14).
God gave life to everything, including plants, trees, grass, birds, fish, cattle, beasts, creeping things, and man. 70 But all these lives are temporary. 71 Permanent or eternal life is exclusively God's life. 72 When we eat Jesus with God in Him by the Spirit, He becomes our life. 73 How could human beings fulfill God's purpose and represent Him as God if we were void of God's life living within us? Only if God is within us and lives in us is it possible for us to live the life of God every day and for us to express God fully to others. 74
We are told throughout the whole Bible that the way to fulfill God's purpose is for us to eat the Tree of Life. If the Tree of Life is not within us as our life, it will be impossible for God in Jesus to express Himself through us to the world. For the purpose of God to be fulfilled in us, for God to be able to express Himself in us, for Him to represent Himself to the world in us as God, and for His dominion, authority, and power to rule in and through us, He must be our life.
With God living in us, we become the very expression of God, the express representation of Himself that He wants the world to see, hear, and know. John 1:1 tells us, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." In verse four we read, "In Him was life." Eternal life is in none other than God in Jesus, who is the Word of God. 75 "No man cometh unto the Father" without God in Jesus, the Word, being their life in them (John 14:6). Anyone attempting to enter Heaven without the Tree of Life in them is no more than "a thief and a robber" (John 10:1). Thieves and robbers cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. 76
We are transformed from men to God-men by eating God in Jesus, the Word. Jesus, the Messiah, is mentioned throughout the Old and New Testaments as being our only life if we eat Him, who is the Word of God, as our food for eternal life. 77
After man's fall, God in His mercy created a second man, a last Adam, who would successfully be able to deal with the enemy of God and the enemy of man, which is Satan. 78 He, the second man, the last Adam, is the end of mere sinful man. 79 God is in the second man, the last Adam, because He always did God's will, He fulfilled God's purpose, He never sinned. 80 He and His descendants all are new creations of God, creations that never before existed in the universe, because they never knowingly sinned again after they became God-men. 81 They knew from God's Word if they did sin a sin unto death again they would be cut off from the Tree of Life. 82 They became a new creation by eating only from the Tree of Life. They did God's will. They ate Jesus, the Tree of Life, constantly so that their old, sinful lives would constantly be mortified or terminated and only God's powerful life, with His authority and dominion, would be living in them. 83
Jesus is given many names in the Bible. 84 Two of these names are "the second man" and "the last Adam" (I Cor. 15:45, 47). He was not only a man, He was a God-man. 85 He was the first of a new nation of people made up from every nationality in the world. 86 They are the heavenly nation. We all become "one in...[Messiah] Jesus" (Gal. 3:28). 87 All in Him become God-men. 88 The reason Jesus is called "the last Adam" is because everyone uniting themselves to Him is no longer a descendant of the first Adam, fleshy, but is a heavenly descendant of the divine Messiah, Jesus, the last Adam. 89 Second Corinthians 5:17 states, "If any man be in [Jesus], he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 90
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation...the Kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:20-21). 91 The Triune God, the Kingdom of Heaven within us, is very precious because it is our eternal life. 92 To keep it, we must guard it by doing as God in Jesus, the Messiah, tells us by the Spirit. 93
The first thing Jesus tells us to do after He enters us, after we are saved, is to "Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14). This is because "the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold [Jesus] the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them [through Jesus, the Word 94]. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God [when God was in them], they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things...And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind [a mind rejected by God], to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them" (Rom. 1:18-23, 28-32).
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries" (Heb. 10:26-27).
The Apostle Paul stated he counted everything in the world as loss so that he could have the "excellency of the knowledge of... Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win [Jesus], And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law" (Phlp. 3:8-9). 95 The law condemns all sinners, but when we are in Jesus, sinning no more, the law can no longer condemn us again. 96 However, if we begin living a life of sin again and never permanently repent, we fall back under the condemnation of the law, just as the scriptures tell us. 97 Jesus the Messiah said, "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill" (Matt. 5:17). He came to show the world that the law of God can be kept with ease by the dominant, powerful life and authority of Jesus with God in Him living in us through our eating and drinking Him who is the Word of God, the Tree of Life. 98
The most important thing we must do to have God and eternal life live in us and to never again be placed under the condemnation of the law is to absorb God in Jesus, the Word, the Tree of Life into us by reading and hearing the Word of God, the Bible, and nothing else. 99 Eating was the first thing that God taught Adam to do because it was the most important thing Adam could do. Mere man cannot do the work of God. Only God in man can do His work through man. 100 Again, Jesus the Messiah said, "Without Me [living in you] ye can do nothing" (John 15:5).
The branches live only by abiding in the vine. Jesus said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches" (John 15:5). Unless we abide in Jesus, "And [His] Words abide in [us]" (John 15:7), our souls will wither and die. 101 Our own life is mortified, benumbed, deadened, and nailed to Jesus' cross when Jesus, the resurrection, the Spirit, the Word, our food for eternal life, is living in and through us daily. 102
The first Adam was created in a very supernatural way. The Lord God formed him out of "the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul" (Gen. 2:7). The second man, the last Adam, was also created in a very supernatural way by the Spirit or the Word of God. 103 "The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening [or life-giving] Spirit" (I Cor. 15:45). After our Lord's death, burial, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven, He became a life-giving Spirit. As a life-giving Spirit, He can now live in millions of other sinless, devoted humans as one corporate Body, His Church, and do greater works by living in them in these last days rather than by living in just one human body, Jesus the Messiah, approximately two thousand years ago. 104 All those who He with His Father by the Spirit have lived in since Pentecost 105 are a new nation of new creatures. They are "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a people belonging [exclusively] to God; 106 that [they] should show forth the praises of Him who hath called [them] out of darkness into His marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy" (I Pet. 2:9-10, KJV and orig. Gk.).
The first Adam and all of his descendants are dead in their sins and on their way to Hell. 107 All those who live in Jesus, the last Adam, who is the beginning of every God-man, are Heaven-bound. 108
GOD CANNOT WORK IN US UNLESS WE EAT HIM IN JESUS, THE TREE OF LIFE, THE WORD, INTO US
Too many people who call themselves Christians put far too much emphasis on their worldly works and never absorb Jesus the Word into them so that God can live and do His works both in and through them. 109 Jesus said, "Take heed therefore how ye hear" (Luke 8:18). It is because the things we read and hear will be the food that is absorbed into our spirits through our eyes and ears. 110 If we read and hear junk food, we will be dead inside. If we eat and drink God in Jesus, we will be one with God in Jesus, born of God, born of the Spirit of God, saved. 111
God spoke from Heaven to the disciples of Jesus when He was transfigured on the mount, saying, "This is My beloved Son: HEAR HIM" (Luke 9:35). Why hear only Him? Because Jesus said, "The Words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). All other words we read and hear have none of God's eternal life in them. Therefore, they are junk and spiritual death. We must "love the Lord [our food] with all [our] heart, and with all [our] soul, and with all [our] mind, and with all [our] strength" (Mark 12:30). If we are to keep this, the most important commandment of them all, we need to understand that to love the Word of God with "ALL of our being" means we must eat no other Word if we want to spend eternity in Heaven. If we don't keep this first commandment, we've broken every commandment. 112
To have something in us, we must eat, breathe, or absorb it into our bodies. To have God in our body, we must eat Him just like the food we must eat for our physical bodies, but not with our mouths. 113 Again, God's life enters our body through our eyes and ears, that is, by our reading and hearing the Word of God by the Spirit. 114 Therefore, if professing Christians are not eating the Tree of Life, the Word of God, through their eyes and ears, God is not in them, and the works they are doing are their own works.
Many millions of professing Christians will be shocked and terrified when, at the Judgment Bar of God, their eyes and ears are opened, but only to read God's lips and hear His voice pronounce judgment against them for their wickedness. 115 While they were living on earth, they refused to be transformed from men into men of God by eating God, the Tree of Life. They did what they considered to be the work of God. 116 They did their own works, which were the same as the works of Satan. 117 Disobedience is sin. 118 "He that committeth sin is of the devil" (I John 3:8).
At judgment, they will become paralyzed with fear when they realize that all their works were nothing but filthy rags in the eyes of God. 119 It will be too late for them to change anything they have done. They will, in vain, think for a moment that they can deceive God with their words, just as they deceived their blind flocks on earth with their words, when they say to God, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?" Then Jesus will say unto them, "I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity" (Matt. 7:22-23). "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock [God in Jesus is our Creator, 120 our Savior, 121 and our Rock 122]. And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it" (Matt. 7:24-27).
There is another multitude of professing Christians who believe they are only to read the Word of God and do nothing. 123 They believe that God in Jesus, our food, is supposed to do all the work rather than for them to eat God in Jesus, the Tree of Life, for their food so that He might be in them to do the works of God with them in and through them. They are lazy sluggards, disobedient ones, sinners. 124 They want God to do all the work outside of them, not in them. They don't want to be temples of God. They cannot have eternal life. They cannot enter Heaven. 125 They read the Word, but they read it by the letter, not by the Spirit. Second Corinthians 3:6 states, "The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life." Reading the Word by the letter is not eating Jesus with the Father in Him by the Spirit. It can only bring forth death. Why? Because the Word of God says so. Because they never studied the Word of God by the Spirit, or ate the Word of God by the Spirit into their spirits, they do not have God's life, power, authority, and dominion in them. All the prophets, including Job, ate from the Tree of Life so that Jesus, who is God the Word, could be in them with His life, power, dominion, and authority. 126 Only then could they make it through every trial or temptation when Satan came to tempt them. We cannot have victory over Satan, over temptation, over our self-life, or over daily aggravations, as well as have the strength to endure every trial and tribulation, unless the Tree of Life, the Word of God, is both living and working in us. Paul stated, "I can do all things through [Jesus] which strengtheneth me" (Phlp. 4:13). "We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us" (Rom. 8:37). "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Rom. 8:31).
He is everything for those who truly want eternal life. Job said, "I have esteemed the WORDS of His mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12). When Jesus in Revelation 3:18 says, "I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire," 127 He means we are to begin immersing ourselves in the Word of God, which is God in Jesus, so that God's powerful, eternal life, dominion, and authority are living and working in us. 128 He means we are to be like Job, to eat the entire Word of God, which is the armor of God, and to esteem it more profitable than our necessary physical food. 129 He means all men, including corrupt preachers and other corrupt men need to be born again of the Spirit, then begin letting God do the talking and begin working in and through them just as He did in Jesus. Jesus said the Words that He spoke and the works that He did were not His own in these words: "The Words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works" (John 14:10). 130 "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17). That is the way we must be to enter Heaven. We need to let the Holy Spirit tame our tongues, 131 and we need to let God tame others through us.
Before we were saved, the world could plainly see we were sinners. They could see that God in Jesus with His life, His authority, His dominion, and His power, as well as His works, were not in us. But when we receive God's life in us, the world can also see that God is representing Himself as God both in and through us with His life, authority, power, and dominion. They can see we are living a life of victory over every evil thing. The world teaches this to be impossible. If God in Jesus is living in you, you will find that it is very possible, even more than possible. 132
THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD'S EYESALVE
Jesus, the Tree of Life, rebukes all lukewarm Christians by telling them, "I will spue thee out of My mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked." The Lord counsels them to eat the Tree of Life and drink the Spirit, which lives in the Word of God "that [they] mayest be rich; and white raiment, that [they] mayest be clothed, and that the shame of [their] nakedness [does] not appear." The Tree of Life counsels those who He is about to spue out of His mouth to "Anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see" (Rev. 3:16-18). 133 To anoint our eyes with eyesalve means to eat God in Jesus into us by reading and hearing His Spirit and life, which again is the Word of God. The eyesalve is our spiritual food, the Word of God, which has God's life and Spirit in it. 134 When God's Word is read, anointed, or absorbed into us, it transforms us from being lukewarm to being red-hot, and it transforms mere men into God-men. It resurrects us from the carnal first Adam into the heavenly last Adam. The more we anoint our eyes with God's eyesalve, the Word of God, the more of God's divine presence and works will be red-hot and alive in us, and the more He can do greater works both in and through us. Reading and hearing the Word of God is the one and only way Jesus with God in Him enters us, lives in us, and does His will in us. This will produce God's life in you so that you can overcome sin, Satan, the world, yourself, and everything else, just as Jesus the Messiah did. 135 God means you must read His Word, not by the letter, but spiritually, so "that [you may] see" clearly how wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked you are now, and see how rich you can be if you allow Jesus, the Word, with God living in Him to live in you by the Spirit (Rev. 3:18).
By having eternal life and eternal treasure in Heaven, you will no longer have a fear of death. Instead, you will have power over death, Hell, sin, Satan, and everything else. 136 Jesus warns us in advance, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent" (Rev. 3:19).
Jesus said, "If a man love Me, he will keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him" (John 14:23). The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit "shall be in you" to lead you and guide you into all righteousness (John 14:17). 137 "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:14).
Millions go to churches where they are told it's all right to sin. 138 The entire Word of God calls them liars. The entire Word of God says no one can enter Heaven with sin on their souls. 139 Only the blood of Jesus removes the Adamic sin we were born with, as well as all the sins we have formerly committed. 140 If you were ignorant to the sins you were committing because your pastor, preacher, or someone you trusted was lying to you, then cheer up, because these were sins of ignorance. 141 They are forgivable so long as you repent, then "Go, and sin no more" (John 8:11). Just believe Jesus, the Word of God, and only eat your spiritual meals from the Tree of Life. Eat nothing but the Tree of Life for your spiritual food, for your spiritual growth.
If you have been committing any of the sins unto death such as incest, adultery, fornication, murder, which includes abortion, homosexuality, lesbianism, lying, stealing, or the other sins mentioned in God's Word, such as the Adamic sin which we were all born with, 142 turn to Jesus, the Tree of Life. If you have been trying to do good without Jesus, the Tree of Life, the Word of God, living in you, you have realized by now that that's impossible. Only with God in Jesus, the Tree of Life, living in us are we able to have dominion over ourselves, so we can keep God's commandments and have dominion and power over everything else. Repent of all ugly and damning sin 143 by applying the eyesalve, the Word of God, to your eyes. Immerse yourself into the Triune God, the Tree of Life, the Word of God. 144 The Lord will be well-pleased with you and will honor your efforts. He will give you His eternal life, and He will grow in you. 145 The Tree of Life will be in you, and it will grow as you water it with the Word of God. 146
Ask God in Jesus to come into you to live, grow, speak, and work for your eternal life before it is too late. Jesus said, "He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that gathereth not with Me scattereth abroad" (Matt. 12:30).
When the Word of God is sown into a person's heart by a preacher, the devil cometh immediately to steal that good spiritual food of God's person from within your spirit. 147 It is because the Word of God in you is your eternal life, and Satan doesn't want you to have eternal life. 148 By constantly eating and drinking the Word, which is God's powerful Spirit in us, Satan's attempt to steal the Word out of us will fail. 149
As Adam was to keep the garden from the serpent, so we are to keep the serpent from the Kingdom of Heaven, which is our eternal life living within us. 150 The first Adam failed, but Jesus, the last Adam, said, "Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). When Jesus lives in us, "We are more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37).
We who are the many members of the body of Jesus are the final result of the Tree of Life's work done both in and through us. 151 It is the Tree of Life living and working both in and through us which brought about the final result of God's purpose, which is for Him to have a bride who trusts Him and a bride He can trust. We are made glorious in Him, and God is glorified in us. 152
The Lord Jesus warns every man in these Words: "Behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be" (Rev. 22:12), whether he does the work of God, the work of Satan, or his own work, which is the same as doing the work of Satan. 153 Jesus continues by saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning [Tree of Life] and the end [Tree of Life], the first [Tree of Life] and the last [Tree of Life]." "Blessed are they [who are on earth] that do His commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life [on earth and in Heaven], and may enter in through the gates into the city" (Rev. 22:13-14).
Where you will spend eternity depends upon which of the two trees you have chosen to eat from while you were living here on earth. 154 Will you choose to eat from the Tree of Life, which again is the same as eating Jesus with God in Him, or will you choose to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which is the same as eating Satan with death in him? The choice is yours, and the choice is being presented to you right now. Jesus says that if we choose to let Him and His Father by the Spirit live in us, He will help us in the day of salvation. 155 You may ask, "When is that day of my salvation supposed to be?" God answers that question this way: "Now is the accepted time...now is the day of [your] salvation" (II Cor. 6:2). According to the Lord, the day of your salvation is now. Why? Because you don't know whether or not you will ever draw another breath of life. 156 Death can come to us at any time, day or night. It could happen when you're in your home, in your office, in your car, or just walking down the street. It could be when you are on a bus, on a train, or flying in a plane. It could be when you're sound asleep at night in your bed. One thing that we are guaranteed is that we are going to die. 157 We have no guarantee that life will go on beyond today. That is why God says that the time of our salvation is now. He wants to give you eternal life, and the only way that He can do that is if you invite Him who is the Tree of Life to enter you. He says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice [My Word], and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me" (Rev. 3:20). If you want eternal life, then invite Jesus, the Tree of Life, into you now by saying this prayer:
Prayer
My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. 2 I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. 3 I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit 4 and that He sits on the right hand of God at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, You will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because Your Word, the Bible says so. 8 Your Word says that You will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as You command and sin no more. 11
You've just completed the first step in a series of five steps which are necessary to receive salvation. Your second step is to deny yourself and take up the cross daily for the purpose of mortifying yourself, that is, for putting to death your own will, your soulful self, and the world with all of its lusts. All these must be baptized into the death of Christ.
Step three is your resurrection from the satanic life of Adam unto the sinless life of Christ. Step four is your ascension into a position of authority to reign for God on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for God on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the Word of God, then submit yourself and do what the Word says, so that the Church and the world may see evidence of your submission to God's Word, His order, and His authority in and by you.
Praise the Lord. May God reward you abundantly.
