WOOD WORKS or DIAMOND DEEDS? 

08/24 Daily (Heb.3:13;10:25;Matt.6:11) Exhortation.

On today, Monday, 8/24, here is an 8:24 Construction for Instruction (2 Tim.3:16) on which to meditate/masticate…

Mark 8:24 (KJB) And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

I literally quoted this verse day before writing this more than once and having no idea what the address of the verse was and lo and behold, it matches today’s construction. *LOVE* THIS JESUS WALK!!!

Context: Jesus has laid hands on this blind man, and this is what he saw. Jesus laid hands on his eyes AGAIN, and he then saw men clearly. Ever wonder why Jesus STAGGERED this healing? Certainly for many reasons, but one is to TEACH US AN ALLEGORY... 

You see, men are likened unto TREES often in the Bible. God oft speaks in similitudes (see Hos. 12:10, etc.).  When one wants to find out their genealogy, they research their FAMILY TREE. Psalms 1 likens a godly man who meditates on the word of God day and night as A TREE planted by the rivers of waters. 

Judges 9 has a Parable of the Trees where the trees are personified. The King James has a nugget where the grape vine is called the VINE TREE. LOADED!!!! God likens His disciples to branches growing on the vine (John 15). God calls Israel a fig tree and an olive tree (Jer. 24; Matt. 24; Romans 11, etc.). 

Ecclesiastes 11:3 speaks of reprobation in that where a tree FALLETH, there it shall be.  Pharaoh is likened unto a tree (Ezek. 31). Nebuchadnezzar is likened unto a tree (Daniel 4). 

In the tabernacle, when you have the wood overlaid with gold, this typifies God (gold) manifested in the flesh (wood) as the Lord Jesus Christ. 

But man is continually paralleled with trees. 

 

Isaiah 1:30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf…

Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew 7: 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

The flesh is likened unto wood (1 Cor. 3 and 2 Tim. 2). Fleshly works will be burned up at the Judgment(s). In light of this typology, the following verse has been extremely profound to me for decades now: 

2 Samuel 18:8 For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

Carnality destroys more people than any other weapon. Especially here in the end times. So much “ministry” is really just wood industry. FLESHLY WORKS ARE WORTHLESS. A man is not crowned except he strive LAWFULLY (2 Tim. 2:5).

For example, you must decide if you want your reward THI$ $IDE or the OTHER SIDE. Monetization is the Motivation for 'Merican Ministry. $top charging for ministry running greedily after the error of Balaam for reward. 👀

You were warned. "Yeah, but..."

8=New Beginnings and 24=End Times in Bible Numerics. How about a NEW BEGINNING (8) in these End Times (24) for you this 8/24? 

Will you trust to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh? Let the Carpenter shape your wood today. 

The Biggest Enemy of the Best is the GOOD. Will you have GOOD WOOD or the BLESSED BEST today? 

1 Cor. 3 commands us to build upon Christ’s foundation PRECIOUS STONES (diamond deeds) that can abide the test of fire, and not wood, hay, stubble. Walk Biblically. Walk in the Spirit. That which is born of flesh is FLESH (John 3). Purpose this day to sow to the Spirit (eternal) and not the wood flesh (temporal). 

All for HIS GLORY to have crowns to cast at HIS feet, -r <3
