EVERYBODY IS A TREE HUGGER

EVERYBODY IS A TREE HUGGER

Your original parents decided to partake of the tree of knowledge in the garden, and because of that, you were banished from My presence. Because of their act of disobedience, you were born hugging that tree, clinging to it for your very existence. I planted that beautiful tree in the center of the garden, as the first and only choice between life and death known to man, in disobedience they chose death.

As a result of their wrong choice, I planted an ugly tree on a foreboding hill giving you a second opportunity, to choose life. Now if you choose to partake of the tree I made into a cross, you can "...come boldly (back into My presence) unto the throne of grace, and obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) If you taste of that tree, you will want to hug it forever.

Every human will leave this earth hugging a tree! Either the tree of knowledge or the tree made into a cross. You will either cling to the old rugged cross or hug your intellectual understanding of who I am, thus remaining banished forever.
To the tree of knowledge huggers, with their intellectual understanding "the preaching of the cross (tree) is ... foolishness; but unto (cross huggers) which are saved, it is the power of God." 1 Corinthians 1:18 (KJV)

There is a big difference in choosing the cross tree, because every morning you wake up you must choose it again. If (you choose to come after me, you must deny yourself, and (hug) your cross daily, and follow me. [24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it (choosing the human knowledge tree): but whosoever will lose his life (choose the cross tree) for my sake, the same shall save it." Luke 9:23-24 (KJV) Every morning you must make a choice "do I hug the cross tree or do I hug the knowledge tree." This will always be until you leave earth. This is a conscious effort on your part. It's never automatic. Every day you simply walk out the door and forget to take up your cross, your day will be dark.

Your salvation is still in tact, but that day, you will depend on your own knowledge gained from the other tree. This is knowledge still remaining in your old nature, waiting for you to crucify it. My death was once and for all, but you must "die daily and face death every day and die to self." 1 Corinthians 15:31 (AMP) It all boils down to this, today you will hug a tree and your day will depend on which one you hug. You can choose to run your day by returning to hugging the tree of your own intellect, and produce wood, hay and stubble, or you can embrace your cross and follow Me, and your day will bare fruit for eternity, gold, silver and precious stones.
