Proverbs

6:6  Go to

the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: 7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, 8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and

gathereth her food in the harvest.

Genesis 1:28 ‘And God blessed them, and

God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and

subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the

air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. ‘

The Tree

Psalm 1:1 BLESSED (HAPPY,

fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is the man who walks and lives

not in the counsel of the ungodly [following their advice, their plans and

purposes], nor stands [submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk,

nor sits down [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers] gather.  2 But his delight and desire are in the law of

the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God)

he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.  3 And he shall be like

a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring

forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither;

and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].

Haggai 2:4

 . . . but the

just shall live by faith.

Live (chayah) – remain

alive, sustain life, live prosperously, live for ever, be quickened, be alive,

be restored to life or health

Romans 1:17 For in the Gospel a

righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and

leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more

faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright

shall live and shall live by faith. [Hab. 2:4.]

The Fruit/The Heart

Luke 6:43“You’ll never find choice fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy

tree. And rotten fruit doesn’t hang on a good, healthy tree.  44Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it

produces. Figs or grapes will never be picked off thorn trees.  45People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in

their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. 

Galatians 6:7 Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what

you plant will always be the very thing you harvest. 8 The harvest you

reap reveals the seed that was planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of

self-life into this natural realm, you can expect to experience a harvest of

corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap the beautiful

fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit.

9 And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in

planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve

planted is coming! 10Take advantage of

every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and

sisters in the family of faith!

The Mouth

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree

sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the

tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for

the tree is known and recognized and judged by its

fruit.  34 You offspring

of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil (wicked)? For out of

the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart

the mouth speaks. 35 The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth

good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth

evil things.

Mark 11:23  KJV For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this

mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt

in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to

pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Mark 11:20 AMPC In the morning,

when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was wi
