Language of God - Leaves

A few weeks ago I sent out some definitions in relation to understanding the language of God. But it can only happen with a spiritually "renewed" mind.

Let's take a look at leaves. It is defined from a Greek root word, phul'lon, meaning a sprout (to begin growth); germinate; bud) But it goes to another root word, phule', which is an offshoot in relation to race or clan: kindred or a tribe. Romans 8:29 makes mention on Jesus being the firstborn of many brethren. He is the Son of God (St.John 3:16), and we are also sons of God (St.John 1:12). We are the offspring of God! Romans 8:16-17 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children (sons) of God. And if children (sons), then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
Leaves do not grow on the trunk of the tree, they grow on the branches!
Jeremiah 23:5 "Behold, the days come, sath the LORD that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch." Then Jeremiah 33:15 "In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David." Isaiah 11:1 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots." So Jesus was and is that Branch. Revelation 22:16 "I am the root and offspring of David." Jesus was the very POWER of GOD walking around on two feet! He was the BRANCH with the POWER!!

Look at this twofold: St.John 15:5 "I am the vine, ye are the branches." Jesus is the Tree of Life and we are the branches attached to Him or actually in Him (St.John 15:2 "Every branch in me"). Revelation 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. So the leaves are the life of God, the Spirit of God, the gifts of the Spirit, dominion, authority, power, wisdom, understanding, counsel, deliverance, healing, knowledge, faith, love, righteousness. Jesus functioned in all this and more! So must we function under this same ANOINTING!! After we have received the Holy Ghost we have the power to witness and do exploits for the glory of God. Luke 10:19 "I give you power over all the power of the enemy!"

Matthew 10:1 "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." GLORY!!
This lets us know that we become the leaves with God's power that He sends to heal the nations! Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!" Again, as He is so are we in this world!" GLORY TO GOD! I'm excited again! I'll share more later. God bless you!
