You Will Know Them by Their Fruits


Book Description

Jesus said that we would know those who belong to Him by their fruits. Jesus compared grapes with thorns and figs with thistles to illustrate what to expect from false prophets and teachers. Yet many hucksters have sold their brand of religion to the gullible looking for something better in life. Instead of discovering the truth that enables them to be set free, they were taken in only to see these superstars, in whom they had placed their hopes, fall like lightning. Religion is filled with many who Jesus also called the darnel, which looks like the real thing, but when put to the test, they produce thorns instead of grapes and thistles instead of figs. Then there are the wolves that come across as sheep, but inside are ravenous creatures deserving of the eternal punishment that will be theirs because they prey on the innocent and pervert the name of God.This book will provide you with insights as to what the good fruit really is. The twelve fruit that every Christian should produce in their lives, if they are to be victorious are canvassed, so you too can know what you should be seeking God to produce in your life, as well as what you should expect in the lives of those who claim they have been anointed or appointed of God.You will have not read the information in this book before when it comes to the twelve fruits identified within the Bible that Christians should possess and demonstrate within their lives.

New Creation Spirituality


Book Description

Two thousand years ago, a great light dawned in the spiritual history of humankind. His name was Jesus Christ. In Him, God assumed human form and made His presence known amongst us. By dying on a cross, Christ freed us fro the shackles of sin and death and restored union between heaven and earth. In doing so, He inherited a kingdom that is not of this world. As God's new spiritual temple, we body this reality. We are His prophets, priests, and kings. New Creation Spirituality is a groundbreaking new work on Christian faith from the author of The Mind of Christ: Christian Identity in the New Creation. By shedding fresh light on humanity's spiritual anointing, New Creation Spirituality offers a bold vision for belief that is at once modern, culturally engaging, and grounded in the timeless truths of Scripture. The mission of Jesus Christ is to destroy all darkness, sin, and death. By understanding our kingdom roles as prophets, priests, and kings, we become equipped and empowered to accomplish this mission alongside Him. As we partner with the ascended Christ, the glory of God and the fullness of His kingdom are manifest on earth.

The results of this creative, humble activity are now summarized in this remarkable book, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit. As Father Keating says, the spiritual journey is a gradual process of enlarging our emotional, mental, and physical relationship with the divine reality that is present in us, but one not ordinarily accessible to our emotions or concepts. The spiritual journey teaches us, first, to believe in the Divine Indwelling within us, fully present and energizing every level of our being; second, to recognize that this energy is benign, healing, and transforming; and third, to enjoy its gradual unfolding step-by-step both in prayer and action.
