Root yielding fruit

Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men : but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit

John 15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit

Hebrews 12:5-11)
⁵ And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
⁶ For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
⁷ If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
⁸ But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
⁹ Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
¹⁰ For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
¹¹ Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Psalms 118:18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Fallow ground is ground that has been plowed and readied for sowing, but then is withheld and allowed to lie useless and unproductive. God, through His prophet, had to rebuke His people, not only because they had left their prepared , ground unused, but because they were actually sowing their seed on thorn-choked ground.

Mark 4:14-20)
¹⁴ The sower soweth the word.
¹⁵ And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
¹⁶ And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
¹⁷ And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
¹⁸ And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
¹⁹ And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
²⁰ And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

thorn choked ground can be life's worries riches and pleasures. among many other things that can choke the word out .

we are instructed to put off the old man which is corrupt according to deceitful lusts
 sin dims the light in us and drowneds out or light causing it to be put under a bushel and hid so to speak. such things as gossip and slander contentions strife , anger etc. sin leads to more sin unforgiveness root of bitterness fornication etc.. give no place to the devil let him who stole steal no more.

Mark 4:21-32)
²¹ And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
²² For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
²³ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
²⁴ And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
²⁵ For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
²⁶ And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
²⁷ And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
²⁸ For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
²⁹ But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
³⁰ And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
³¹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
³² But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

we are instructed to put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true Holiness . we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works , which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

if there is no root of righteousness in us yielding fruit then the door of our heart is left open for the roots of unrighteousness which yield corrupt bitter barren desolate fruits reaping in spiritual death

Romans 8:5-6) For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

we need a mighty Baptism of the fear of the Lord ! by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil . the fear of the Lord is to hate evil. we need a hatred toward evil

God says put away lying , be not deceived evil communications corrupt good manners. He said awake to righteousness and sin not . be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers .

God is not the Author of confusion but of peace. The Lord is the Author and finisher of our Faith it is time to walk by faith not by sight it is time to look to Jesus and truly follow Him.

we wrestle not against flesh and blood why is there back biting and devouring of one another among them in the church?

the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

we have got to know who we are in Christ, we need to be mindful of His promise to those who are in covenant with Him.  we are sons and daughters joint heirs with Christ . He is our righteousness fulfilling His obedience through us . His Grace is sufficient for us and His strength is perfected in our weakness !

The Lord is calling His church to set thy house in order rise up and stand fighting the Good fight of faith laying hold on Eternal Life.

we are called to follow His example to follow His steps. God says be not overcome by evil but overcome evil with good. vengeance is His He will repay . why are Christians jumping on one another why are Christians jumping into the mix of racism ? put off the old man crucifying the affections and lusts of the flesh . awake thou who sleeps and arise from the dead and Christ shall give you Light ! redeem the time the days are evil be ye not unwise but understanding what the will of the Lord is. be ye separate touch not the unclean thing come out from among them. take heed watch unto prayer be sober and vigilant. the thief cometh to steal kill and destroy.

slander and gossip is the same as murder tearing and ripping apart tearing down destroying and killing the character integrity and reputation of others. rejoice not when your enemy falls ! follow the example left to us by the Lord Jesus Christ following in His steps , no guile was found in His mouth when He was reviled He reviled not when He suffered He threatened not but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously !

whatsoever we do to the least of these we do unto our Lord.  it can be said and found to be true that we love Jesus as much as we love the least of these.  church the Lord is calling His people to Humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways . some will say don't push your convictions on us . if you're not convicted and pricked in your hearts from anything in this message then you are either perfect or lukewarm spued out spiritually numb and spiritually dead . I say that in love brothers and sisters. this entire message from the Lord came to me and dealt with my heart first before I spoke this to you. I endured the chastening of the Lord and have been brought under His divine correction . praise God that He deals with us in love , loving us enough to chasten and correct us . brethren we need to seek daily for the Lord to bring conviction and correction upon us lest we sit in the seat of hypocrisy , or lest we sit in the comfortzone of being lukewarm and by action say to Him we are rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing.

The Lord is calling His church His bride to set thy house in order .  Hezekiah was sick unto death and Isaiah the prophet came unto him and said Thus saith the Lord set your house in order for you shall die and not live. read it in Isaiah 38. there was recovery in Hezekiah's sickness .

pay close attention to verse27-30

1 Corinthians 11:26-32)
²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

how do we judge ourselves ? by examination in the Light of truth looking into the mirror of God's word prayerfully seeking the Lord to expose to reveal anything hidden in us , even thoughts and correct. often before the chastening of the Lord comes He brings conviction and correction but when we refuse it then comes the chastening . verse 32 says that when we are judged we are chastened . without the fear of the Lord people continue in willful practice of sin . with and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

we Christians preach against sin we call out the open rebellious sins of the world but fail to call out our own and judge ourselves as we judge the world for theirs.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. KEY WORDS WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH.

1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Judgement begins at the house of God and God is judging our sins up above in 1 Corinthians 11:32 it says but when we are judged we are chastened of the Lord that we should not be condemned with the world .

brethren it is time to examine ourselves and repent . he who covers his sins shall not prosper but whoso confesses and forsaketh them shall have mercy . church it is time to sow in righteousness and reap in mercy. and break up our fallow ground for it is time to seek the Lord til He come and rain righteousness upon us.

God resists the proud and give more Grace to the humble. God said in 1 Corinthians 10:12 wherefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. the Lord also says in proverbs 30:12 there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes and yet is not washed from their filthiness. it is impossible to please God in the flesh, and no flesh shall Glory in His presence . the Just shall live by faith

paul warned us not to receive the Grace of God in vain. and vain means fruitless , without usefulness, without success . Grace empowers us to walk as our Lord walked. as John 3:30 says He must increase but I must decrease. God has given us His spirit He has empowered us to do all things through Christ who strengthens us, He has empowered us to be more than conquerors . yet many continue in sin living in defeat as if our Lord is powerless . He is all powerful we gotta decrease to find increase. see the enemy tries to get us to have a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof. but we are overcomers by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. Greater is He who is in us than he that is in the world. brothers and sister I love you all and I do pray that you receive this message in love and rejoice with me that our precious Lord has spoken to His church and is doing a Great and Mighty work in us all ! This message is long I know but praise God He has a lot to say to us and deals with us as sons and daughters. our Father in Heaven loves us more than we acknowledge or realize. may we seek the Lord more than ever before and know Him more intimately than ever before . let us labour in prayer for one another. be of good courage Jesus has overcome the world. and the gates of hell shall not prevail against His true church !! Glory to God our Father in Heaven.

let us bow our knees and pray

Ephesians 3:14-20)
¹⁴ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁵ Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
¹⁶ That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
¹⁷ That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
¹⁸ May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
¹⁹ And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
²⁰ Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us

Psalms 118:19-22)   Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the
Lord. ²⁰ This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous shall enter.
²¹ I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
²² The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner
Ephesians 2:18-22)
¹⁸ For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
¹⁹ Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
²⁰ And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
²¹ In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
²² In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Christ is our righteousness. without Him we can do nothing. Jesus is the way the truth and the Life. let us follow His example.

let us have no confidence in the flesh having our own righteousness which is filthy rags , but let us put on Christ and seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness. blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

James 3:18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Matthew 5:3-12)
³ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
⁵ Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
⁶ Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
¹⁰ Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
¹¹ Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
¹² Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Romans 12:9-10) Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

Galatians 5:22-23)
²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
²³ Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law
1 Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.

1 Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king

1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous

1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins

2 Peter 1:3-10)
³ According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
⁵ And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
⁶ And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
⁷ And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
⁸ For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
⁹ But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
¹⁰ Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.

Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

John 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another

 May the root of His righteousness be found in us yielding fruit and may that fruit remain
