"You Will Know Them"

Jesus said in (Matt 7:15-20)"You will know them by their fruit" (False Prophets); every good prophet will bear good fruit and vice versa. Now on another note this good and bad fruit principle applies to the lay person as well. God showed me that a tree can never on its own change what type of fruit it can bear but what it does have control of is how far it can develop its fruit.

We all know that fruit casted before its time are not tasteful but fruit that have matured to ripeness are very pleasant and satisfying. A person can tell whether or not the fruit is ready most times by its attributes (i.e. appearance, reaction to certain test, size, color, texture, time, season etc.). Also fruit can never return to the size prior to its present state unless it is beginning to die. Some fruit will remain a certain size for a period of time due to lack of vital supplements needed for survival (i.e. food, light, water, soil, weeding, protection from predators, etc.).

So a person is known by their fruit by a seasoned individual or Pastor/Farmer/Sheppard operating in the gifts of the spirit, judging what stage the fruit is in (blade, ear, full ear of corn). So a persons fruit does not change it just confirms what stage it is in by way of its attributes.

If a Christian says something rude, has a bad attitude, react in a irrational manner, or gets angry over small things on a non-consistent basis does not make them any less of a Christian it simply reveals what stage of the process they are in.

Always in Love,
