Mattit'YAHU, you know you are favoured. Like many others before you, even of now and times to come, so are you favoured too. Let all who are weary and tired come to Me and be refreshed Purposed, unto purpose, so is man to Me. I am the LORD your GOD, that loves you. Yea, even you, reading here. Let's make an end of your needless suffering; let your efforts count for something. Let it be as the crown of glory for all you have ever known. For the favour of the LORD shines on those who love Me.
Let go of your former self; give not into the lies that you have been told. Renew your mind, refresh your soul; come to Me. Yea, you who can hear the call, so are you called to Me. To be of those that I purposed for Myself. Yes, as a Royal household of the GOD of all. No longer shall death rule over you, because you are called to the Light of Life. Yes, so you were called to your inheritance in Me. Let go of the false promises, free your mind and heart from sin. Stand with Me in all your efforts, come, live in righteousness. Above all glory of creation, so is man to Me. Yea, though fallen, to be resurrected to a life worth living. So, are you to Me.
Let dead then bury the dead, let the rebels wail in their discomfort; and sooner still shall "the called" be called in the final call to glory. And you shall be as the sons of GOD. You shall judge even the fallen angels of heaven. To you shall the devil bend his knee and proclaim you are worthy, because you are sanctified by Me.
Glory above all glory, so shall the children of GOD be. A Royal Priesthood, co-rulers with My Son. And I shall give you a dwelling place in the Heavens and on Earth. Yes, you will be the testimony of My Mercy. Above and below, all will know the statuses of My children. Yea, and as you walk the godless will bow down in shame for all that they have done to you. You were considered lowly but will be called by Name to take your place in a seat of honour, for all to see. Yea, and the Heavens will proclaim the glory of My House, among the stars, even beneath the Earth. All shall know the glory of My House.
Live today as if that future date has played out for you already. Live in peace, with love, with compassion for the lowly. Show mercy and kindness just as your Father has done. Love in the fulness of My Provisions. Oh! All you children of GOD YHVH.
Come to peace, within and without. Announce the return of the hearts of the children to their Father and the Father's to His children and rejoice for the Kingdom of GOD is near.
Shalom

Daily writing:
My son, I know that you look around you in perplexity. Seeking what is righteous and discovering the unrighteousness you can do without. All is written, plain and simple; while the complexities of this world, even the stories of the enemy, make the waters muddy. But, to those that overcome, I have made My promises. Who but he who accepts a gift can enjoy the glory thereof?
More-and-more, I establish the Truth in your heart, as you come to Me, so I meet you as you are. Never failing to an utter ruin; a remnant of Hope shines out always. All for the Glory of My Name; even in the children of David. He that walks in faith in Me, is met by his expectation; even as you have read, for My Glory.
And still this two-fruit-tree; and all the seed it brings forth. Of one unto good and the other unto death; without ceasing, this two-fruit-tree carries on. From the morning to the evening, the sun shines in his glory; and the moon by night holds its own seat of honour. And of stars shinning and comets flying; all the courses that I established. If you then bump your head against a wall, not ending; either your head will bleed, or the wall will fall down. Still! This two-fruit-tree, non-ceasing, until the winter comes for it; or the sun burns it, stubble and root. Of all that has been, and is, and is to come; still this two-fruit-tree is among the people. In the day man may pick good; and at night, in blindness, whatever will fill his tummy. Still this two-fruit-tree is the stumbling block for mankind's ascent. Of one and of the other, both springs forth from the same mouth. Were you warm or were you cold; but now, you have become vile in My mouth, and I shall vomit out that which defile Me. Of one or the other, and still, this two-fruit-tree brings its confusion to the world. And the people eat the fruit, for they love it. Had I not covered man, their nakedness would be on show, always.
Of days to come, you have read thereof; and man will be surprised even though he was well warned. One and two together, all the same of man and woman, even of the cattle of the field. And they eat, not sparing; they drink until they fall down, and say, "I did not know what I was doing," all the same, they recount the story later in braggery.
Of one or the other, the two have merged and produced a detestable thing; all in hail to the false gods they chose to serve. And of all the deceptions, who can find the truth in the thirst, therefore? Still, this two-fruit-tree dispose of its filth. Yea, and I have set the axe against the tree and called the gardener to bring it down; and of all the care and nurturing, the tree is about to fall.
So, you look into the sky, wondering where help will come from; for what you have heard and what you have seen, what remains trustworthy? And for the man, woman and child that place their full hope in Me, this season; they alone will be left to tell a pleasant testimony. For the cankerworm has been summonsed; yea, the locusts for their feast, and all that will be left safe and sound, is those that placed their trust in Me.
Shalom
Introspection:
Good day, friends. I almost feel obligated to at least greet you at this point. If you have made it to this point of the blog today, tap yourself on the shoulder and say, "well done!" I do not post on the Sabbath and word received on the Sabbath usually do not have an introspection section, because it is a day of rest. So imagine my surprise when the LORD told me today, that he wants me to combine yesterday's writing with todays. Still, even now; in myself I am somewhat without word able to reflect. In the response to the Word as read in the scriptures; even that was so overwhelming to see the Love and Mercy of GOD in all.
I assume by the title GOD has given me to name this blog today; that the response must be in recognition of the two-fruit-tree. Now, the term is not a biblical term, neither have I ever heard anywhere else than in the Spirit. As a result of the iniquity at the tree of good and evil, man now has the ability to speak of both good and evil things. Man can honour the LORD of Creation, or even a fiction of his mind. Today, I can understand why GOD separated man from the tree of life and only prepared a way for those that can come to it in righteousness. These are huge concepts to ponder on, especially when it is sparked by the Holy Spirit and to communicate about these things with Christ in view. For, without Christ, no-one of mankind would ever taste from the fruit of the tree of Life. For us, who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of GOD, who atoned for our sin and redeemed us for GOD; we know, that Jesus Christ is the tree of LIFE. The very WORD of GOD. But before we can taste of the fruit of eternal life, sin must be wiped from us. Then we are no longer a two-fruit-tree, of good and evil, when eating from it leads to death, just as GOD said in the garden of Eden. No, when we are justified by Christ; that two-fruit nature is left behind. We experience regret when we produce an act of evil and repent. And with repentance come forgiveness. One day, we will be a tree that only bring forth good fruit. Right now, we are still in a two-fruit world; and our choices bring forth the fruit thereof. so we pray, plead and beg before the LORD that we may only produce that which is good. We do our best not to permit evil to shoot root in us, by a process of self-control; and our attempts would be in vain if not for the help of the LORD, by His Holy Spirit.
Without the Holy Spirit, how could we ever be made aware of our iniquities before the LORD? How would we be corrected when we go astray? My friend, we are that two-fruit-tree; and the enemy knows just how to deceive us to bare the fruit we would rather not (if we understood the harm it would bring.) The only remedy is the LOVE of GOD that we can permit to flow through us. Then, the fruit will be good, not perfect yet as it will become one day: but good enough for salvation in Christ, because it will lead us at least to a point of repentance so we may be forgiven. Evil, is fuelled by more and more evil, and grows wild soon. What then is the fruit of this tree? Is it not our words and deeds? Is that not what the whole LAW of Moses addresses; is that not what we should take care of? In our choices, we have power over it; but if we lack love in our heart; oh! How foal does that fruit become. Yes, and that fruit seeds more of itself. By our actions and our words, we can work towards peace and love; but how often does selfishness only produce one type of fruit in us? I wish I knew this sooner, but GOD has His hand on the clock of our lives. Sometimes, all we do is delay the judgment and pain. How often do we drag out the suffering for others and even for ourselves, just as the Bible says.
I can attest, if it was not for the love of GOD, by His Mercy; I would have been lost. I was so scared by this world, that it was hard for me to look beyond my pain and my heartache, to see that I am the one who was prolonging the agony. I could not forgive; I could not forget; and was lost for it. But GOD forgave me and gave me another chance; again and again, He came to my rescue when I needed it most. When I could eventually see myself in the mirror, that was when the penny dropped. We are harmed by evil fruit, those of others and those of our own making. More so by our own than what anyone else can do to us. Think of those who stay in an abusive relationship; friends, I found that I was the one abusing myself. And sometimes that abuse came by permitting things like pride in my life. In the Word of GOD, I found the healing that I so needed. Maybe it is because I was desperate; but I would no longer cut myself any more breaks. I would no longer permit myself to make excuses. I realised, I was standing naked before the LORD, ashamed of all that I have done, even when I, in human terms could defend myself. I was only using that which could defend my position and suppressing the evidence that I was such a big part of the problem. So I bared it all before GOD, knowing that I was guilty and asked Him to have mercy on me. And He forgave me. Later I came to know that I was never alone, not even when I was at my lowest points. GOD was there, extending a helping hand, that I refused so many times, because the person I really could not look at was me myself. Maybe, it is just me, the worst of all; but still, if there is any measure of this in you. Deal with the problem before it is too late.
Today's Word from the LORD (even though the Word was stretched out over two days,) marks the same form as what we have become accustomed to in reading the Word of GOD in His Scriptures. There is Hope above all hope for those that answer the call unto Righteousness, under the Old Covenant by upholding the LAW with its sacrifices, and under the New Covenant by grace from GOD through Christ that became the Full Sacrifice for our sin. But, in stark contrast, very little hope for the godless; and that choice is right before us in everyday life. So shall man remain a two-fruit-tree until Jesus comes again; until the final moment of iniquity has come in; and the number of days is full and GOD's judgment falls. But, before that we must each contend with our own number of days.
Who will you become in days to come, in this two-fruit-system of the world? Who are you tonight, as I type here? Who am I, in all of this? That is the true question in introspection in response to GOD. Whoever you are, you do not have to remain as you are, from here you can choose to only permit good fruit to flow from you.
My hope is that I will still be able to share with you here for a long time to come; that we can consider our response to GOD together and encourage each other along the way. But in recent times we have also seen the fruit of this world, so we must be prepared each day to face that final hour of man on earth, ours and those of others. Maybe then we can muster the compassion to show kindness to our neighbours and with GOD's grace, ourselves. Maybe we will permit ourselves even to be inspired to do what is right from here on out. Maybe we will remember to do unto others, as we would have them do unto us; and forgo a selfish viewpoint all together.
May GOD be with you, my friend. May His mercy and grace be sufficient for you too.
Shalom.
