January 04, 2008 With what do we fertilize our trees      We, the trees of Christ, Jesus fertilize our growth by: owning and reciting the Word, for His Word is the nutrient so vitally needed for our growth.  However, I have come to learn the need to pray for the Granting of understanding, knowledge and wisdom; not by our capacity to understand, know or behave wisley---but by wanting these things via a Christ mind.  Before coming to  our Lord's thrown, we need to confess the sins of our ansesters, those of our family, our nation, and those sins we, ourselves, have commited--- asking the Father to soften our hearts---empty our fleshly desires, that we are truly seeking his plans-not attempting to fill our fleshly goals.  This purifys our presence; that our communion with Him is free and clear to discern His plans and be nurtured by His promises.  When we stay close to the vine, our fruit can not help but to be abundant.  Praise God!
