Protecting What You Value Most
“When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever.” (Proverbs 10:25) As we look at insurance, it’s necessary to bring up the many destructive events that could possibly occur in your future. These are unpleasant to think about and easy to mentally avoid, yet they are possible and […]
Scripture Specific to Sonship and Its “History”
God’s perfect desire is to raise you as His beloved son (no gender implied) that He can impart all love, grace, power, and responsibility to you. This has always been His plan. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden and gave them His image with the desire to grow them into His likeness, that […]
The Rock
“The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.” (Proverbs 27:12) Let’s look more closely at the roots of your Fruitful Tree.

The Father’s Business
As we are first adopted back into the Family of God, we begin to fellowship with Him as a son with his father. We will live in His love, security and provision. But more than this, the Father will begin to teach us and impart His Likeness to us. The Father’s heart is to have […]

The Trunk
“17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” (Matthew 7:17-20) […]
In the Place of Adam
In a sense, when Christ died upon the cross and restored our Sonship, he stepped into the place of Adam. He then became the first-born among the dead, and is able to grant eternal life to others. This is a well-established theme in the Bible. Let’s look at a few passages: Col 1:18-20 [NIV] 18And […]
Christ Restored Sonship Back to Us
In yesterday’s post, we discussed the Sonship in the history of man up until the story of the Israelites. As most of you probably know, God allowed the Israelites to be enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years – until He raised Moses to deliver them. On Mount Sinai, He gave them the Law through […]
The Roots
The roots of your Fruitful Tree are the various contracts in your life. These include all forms of insurance, wills and trusts, and business entities. Each one of these is critically important.
