There's this house that has some beautiful fruit trees in the yard. However, we never see them picking any when they're in season, nor will they even offer them to anyone else, that we know of. People have even asked if they could have some, but nah; won't give them away. No, but they trimmed their trees and placed the branches to the street for the garbage truck. Hopefully the garbage man was able to get some; I say this because he'd asked my husband to ask them if he could have some...Passersby took some of the branches home with oranges still attached. At least they didn't all go to waste.
Now I ask you; why not share? What's the harm in that? You won't give them away or eat them yourselves, but you'll put them to the garbage?
What, pray tell, does that tell you about their character? Benefit of the doubt: don't want to get involved with people? Scared of people? Don't like sharing with strangers, what??
People are known by their 'fruits'; their character, how they treat others, what they believe in, the way they act, perform,...If their mouth says one thing, but their actions say another, DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THEY SAY! LOOK AT THEIR ACTIONS, WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN! We're talking about your neighbors, family, relatives, politicians, anyone.
Let's quit allowing ourselves to walk in deception, be deceived. PRAY AGAINST DECEPTION! We're told what to believe, what to think, how to act; THINK FOR YOURSELF. Where's our creative thinking been? What ever happened to using our brain?? We must research and learn things for ourselves: is this true, is this false, is this a cover-up, what are they not telling us, WHY are they covering things up, WHY do they lie to us, what is the real agenda here? Think about what's going on, look things up for yourself! If you're hearing people say, "they're brainwashing us and using mind control", don't just ignore it; find out why they're saying this. WHAT IF IT WERE TRUE?
Pray about who to listen to, who are the true Watchmen that God has set up for the believers in these times. Then when listening to someone, don't just blow it off; keep researching, keep looking into things, go deeper into finding out truths.
Matthew 7:16-20 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them
