Amen to the positive thoughts stated above, and a big thank you for the daily devotions you faithfully send me. Have been outside the camp for many years…..it’s where we grow in Him.

In reply to Janet Hagen. Amen! The fruit will come as a sweet fragrance smell to your innerself and heart. Then you praise Him because you have experienced Him face to face!

In reply to Janet Hagen.

Ms. Hagen thank you very much for sharing this “word of restoration” that reminds us we are stronger than we realize. We (I) need not despair that life’s “big mack truck” has reared me head on. For I am up to the challenge and by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony already given. I too and all those inspired by this “now” word, will produced a 10 fold increase in all areas of my (our) lives.

“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Pdslm 30:5

In reply to Janet Hagen. Janet, Thank you for your story and explaining the vision of the bible that God intended. Even a child could understand this in order to repent and or go through a test of spiritual growth. I have had a little fear sap of my own that has put me in some sticky situations because I did not trust God. I still have not seen the good fruit produced after I let go of fear and doubt, but I know it will produce one day because I have peace about what I face or may face.

Well and simply said Chip! The greater the test the greater testimony.

I am glad you related the Testimony with the test. Very often I declare the truth, or facts of the Word to the enemy of God, but just with my mouth. Yet after the test, when I realize that I have nothing, and declare the Word of God with dependence on Him, there is the Testimony of Jesus Christ and the defeat of the enemy! Thanks.

I volunteered at an organic farming ministry last yr. I learned that if your fruit tree is not producing, you should strike it with a gash of some sort. If its a big tree, back a pick up truck into it and cause it distress. This unexpected “stress” “tests” the tree and it will rise to the challenge and flourish 10 fold with a better crop the following yr. I think this is a great word picture of tests that come into our lives. I’ve experienced a big major life change “gash” right now, that has rocked my world. However, through God’s grace my life “tree” has stopped bleeding fear sap and I’m forging ahead in Him, even though I don’t yet see what the fruit will be, other than to deepen my trust in Him.
