(Blood Covenant) 5 - the War Against the Covenant — Milton Green

When anyone receives revelation in the Word of God, it sometimes conflicts with what he has previously been taught. This causes you to have to deal with old traditions or wrong teachings. These tapes may contain some new light from God's Word, and it may be opposed to some traditions you have previously learned.

Therefore, follow through these messages in your Bible, in sequence, in order that you may be able to make a choice for the Word of God. We urge you to listen to all the tapes in the series in numerical order, so that the whole teaching can be received and understood.

Listening to a part of this series, or to the tapes out of sequence, can lead to a misunderstanding of the nature, the intent, and the importance of the series.

The Flesh and Its Agreement With Satan

See, they live for the cart. Well, let me just tell you about that cart. See, this body is beautifully made, but see, it fell, and it was cursed. And I want you to know that the nature of this flesh right here is in total agreement with Satan.

Everything Satan is, your flesh is. Now, what do you think about that? I mean, something has to die. It better die than what it's going to want with Jesus. Let me just give you an example. See, in your flesh, you're deceitful.

You know that. The flesh is deceitful. Pride, same thing as Satan. Rebellion, same thing as Satan. Selfish, same thing as Satan. Slander, same thing as Satan. Ego, same thing as Satan. Idolatry, same thing as Satan.

Hate, anger, murder, same thing as Satan. Resentment, unforgiveness, etc. However, one of these things, you know what all these things are saying? I, me, my. Are you seeing now that this cursed nature that you have here is just exactly like Satan?

Do you understand that old things are passed away and all things have to become new when you receive Jesus? Amen? All right. See, the fleshly man acts just like Satan. He's selfish, he's self-centered, and he's Lord of his own life.

Is that correct? This is why God said flesh died, because your flesh has to die. I mean, you have to die to the ways of Satan to walk with the Lord. See, the fleshly man, he welcomes anger and unforgiveness and greed.

Are you, hear what I'm saying? A fleshly man that walks out to the carton, he welcomes anger. He gets mad if something comes against his carton. He's greedy. He wants to, he wants the last quarter in this world for his carton.

Greedy. Selfish, everything around his carton. He welcomes all this. Yes, sir, Mr. Devil, I see what you're saying. That's what I say. I'm in agreement with you. His thoughts say on himself, he's wise in his own eyes.

This is the way of the world, the people of the world. They live for the temple. The old man, they live for the cartons, what everybody in this world lives for. They live for the world. They find their portion in the world.

When a person finds his portion in this world, he's rejecting God. Is that plain? Your heart's going after the wrong thing. That is the test, folks. Are you seeing it? Do you see you're tested? Everything God's ever made that's created is tested.

They live for the temporal things rather than the heavenly things. Let me just put it another way. Satan doesn't come to you and say, bow down and worship me. He doesn't do that. What he does, he just comes and intensifies these flesh desires.

It's supposed to be dead. You're supposed to be dying to them, resist them. But you just come, yeah, Devil, you know, if you're not even in the war, what do you think's happening? He intensifies these flesh desires.

All the flesh desires say everything, all these things say, I, me, my, we, us. That's flesh. That's carton talk. That's carton talk. I, me, my, we, us. That's the world. See, and now all of that is selfishness.

Selfishness. That's being Lord of your own life. And then it becomes self-love. That self-love becomes self-worship. You see it? See, and then you become, when you're in self-worship, that's the same as worshiping Satan.

See, when a demon of unforgiveness or resentment or greed or lust or something, you know what he's coming to when he's whispering a thing? He's saying, see, the flesh is supposed to die. He's saying, flesh, come alive.

See, unforgiveness is supposed to be dead. See, it's already in the flesh, but you're supposed to be dying to it, right? He said, come alive, unforgiveness. The Bible's always said that you're to forgive immediately, but you just keep listening to unforgiveness.

You don't even know a thing about resisting the devil because we've always thought he couldn't come to folks like us. Didn't we? See, the demons come to you and they say, come alive, resentment. Come alive, unforgiveness.

Come alive. That car with the steel and park it over here where people don't see it, my clothes, you know, and come alive. Pride's supposed to be dead. See a person just find this portion in this world.

Come alive, hate. Come alive, jealousy. Come alive, envy. You don't have to allow this inner life to come forth. You know what has to happen first? This has to be broken. The outer one has to be broken.

You know, that's why the reason the Lord gives the example about the grain of wheat that falls in earth first. I mean, if you just put it up there, there's no inner life in it. But when it dies, the outer dies, it just breaks open and the life comes forth out of it.

See, that's why this has to die. Your will has to give over to, you choose. Your will goes, gives over to the Spirit and you have to die to this. And let me just tell you another way to say it. When a person, when a demon comes to me, now I want you to know that you do suffer.

You will suffer and you will be persecuted in this world. No one in this world of God never got through this world representing God. It wasn't persecuting, it was suffering. But when that demon of unforgiveness comes to me and talks to me and then bang, I shut it off.

You know what I'm doing right then? I suffer in my flesh because my flesh wants to go upside his head, see. Well, you know what I'm ready to do? I resist it. And if I'm still having trouble, now Lord, I choose in my will to forgive this person.

And I, from your throne right now, I'm receiving grace and love and forgiveness that's flowing through me to that person. Now when you have a attitude in the mind of restoration and you won't let that demon, you'll love that person, you'll feel so sorry for that person.

Now that is grace and that's the way it works. But see if you, if you choose and you know what happens when you do that, you resist that unforgiveness. It, now listen to me, watch me. It's as if you just took your arms and just put them around the Father's neck.

And you're saying, Lord, Father, I love you more than I love myself. That's covenant. That's covenant love. I choose you and I choose against myself. I choose you rather than choose the devil. That's the only time you'll find the comforter comforting you.

Where's the comforter been? And you know what happens when you do that? That comforter is turned loose and just loves you. God just loves you. Comfort. How do you bear fruit for God? You have to walk in covenant.

Make Jesus Christ Lord and die to fleshly desires, obey his word. You know, we got that in John 12, 24. If a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it bears much fruit. If it dies, it bears much fruit.

It doesn't bear much fruit if it doesn't die. It has to die first. That's the process. So what do we say when we make covenant? We put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh. Whoever loses his life and his carton, for my sake and the gospel's the ones that's going to save you.

Does that sound like covenant? Is that good, Jack? In other words, we say over later in Revelation, they overcome by the blood of the Lamb. What is the blood of the Lamb? That's a victory. It's been won for us at Calvary.

They overcame by the blood of the Lamb. That's a victory at Calvary. The word of their testimony, the word of our testimony is not when we shook some preacher's hand. We say what God said. We overcome by the victory at Calvary, the blood of the Lamb, the word of our testimony, and love not our carton until death.

Covenant, Righteousness, and the Worth of the Soul

You can't walk out of this stuff, folks, from off in the heavenly. I told Jack a while ago, I said, this is, I see this covenant, you and me sharing. I should have started here before I ever started over in the covenant, because people are tired of hearing about walking Jesus.

Then you've got the fear of God in you. You want to hear how can I do it? Let me just jump in and do it right now. He said, what's the profit of man that loses? If he gains, the whole world loses its own soul.

Do you know that one soul is worth more than the whole world? Therefore, it said this whole world is meaningless, less than meaningless. The only thing that matters to God is righteousness. Do you know that sins of the flesh lead you from the will of God?

Are you seeing that, folks? I don't want to go too fast. I want you to give me a second just to meditate on it. Sins of the carton lead you from the word of God. See, fleshly sin strikes back at God's right to control your life or discipline your life.

You choose. See, we're supposed to die to things such as resentment, gossip, jealousy, hate, envy, greed, lust, pride, fear, anger, murder. We're supposed to die to all these things, not welcome them.

See, all these things are the fruit of Satan. You're I, me, my. Every one of these things and more, they're just all I, me, my. That's the fruit of Satan. That Satan manifests in the what? Flesh. That is the mystery of iniquity.

Are you seeing it? That's the antichrist. See, everything that Christ is, here's the opposite. So we resist these things when they come to our mind. Now look at me. I'm telling you what's the truth. When you get talking about demons, if you just let a man walk the world so somebody see him everybody, is that a man?

We resist all these things. That's how you resist the devil. And when you won't receive greed and pride and all these things, he has to flee. Are you seeing that? Now, would you like to see how a demonized man acts?

Saul, David, and Demonic Influence in First Samuel

Now, look, let's just turn to the Old Testament right now. We're going to look at a demonized man in the Old Testament. Turn with me, please, to 1 Samuel. Now, where does the enemy talk to? In our thoughts.

Is that correct? That's true. In 1 Samuel 15. All right, let's look at verse 10. Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel saying, and this is what the Lord says, I regret that I made Saul king. The Lord regretted it, for he has turned back from following me and has not carried out my commands.

And Samuel was distressed and cried out the Lord all night long. Now, let's look in verse 19. And here's what Samuel says to Saul. Samuel goes to Saul and he says, Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord, but rushed upon the spoil to the goods and did what was evil in the sight of the Lord?

And then in verse 22, and Samuel said, and he's talking to Saul now, he said, Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings as he took cattle and things that he's supposed to destroy? And he said he's going to use them for a sacrifice.

And so Samuel said, Has the Lord as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than a sacrifice. You know that to obey the Lord is better than a sacrifice, to heed than the fatter rounds.

For rebellion, that's rebellion to God's word, is as a sin, a witchcraft, or divination. Is that strong? That's rebellion to God's word. And insubordination as the mystery of iniquity and idolatry. Because you've rejected the word of the Lord, a lot of people reject the word of the Lord, don't they?

He has rejected you from being king. And watch what Saul said. Then Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, I have indeed transgressed You see that? The commands of the Lord and your words, because why? He feared the people and listened to their voice.

You know, a lot of people transgress the word of the Lord by being fearful of people. Do you believe that? Chapter 16, verse 1. Now the Lord said to Samuel, How long will you grieve over Saul since I've rejected him from being king over Israel?

Fill your horn with oil and go, and I'll send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for myself among his sons. And then we see in verse 6,. Then it came about when they entered, and he looked at them, and thought, Surely the Lord's anointing is before him.

And this is another son of Jesse. But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his white appearance, or the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the white.

Do you think God has changed? He's not looking at the outward period, but the Lord looks at the white. Then we look at verse 13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him, anointed David. He came to the younger brother in the midst of his brothers, and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward.

Then Samuel arose and went to Ramah. Now I want you to watch what happened in verse 14. Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and what, can I just go ahead and say that to them? From the who?

Terrorized him. Where did that demon come from? Who sent that demon? When the Lord loses control of the demon. It's nothing out of God's control. It's destroyed while they're rebelling. Verse 15, Saul said to him, Behold, now an evil spirit from the Lord is terrorizing you.

Everybody knew what demons were back then. See, when you choose evil, you get evil. Do you see that? So the Lord sent an evil spirit to Saul, and then later on David kills the life of John and makes a covenant with Jonathan.

You remember we read that, didn't we? I want you to turn to 1 Samuel 18. 1 Samuel 18, do you remember those first three verses we saw, Jonathan and David making covenant? And I don't believe that Saul is liking this too well.

He's already demonized, is that right? Shake your head. I don't want to be sneaky. Now in verse 7, And the women sang as they played, and said, Saul is slain his thousand. Now Saul is the king, he's slain thousands, but look what they're singing about David.

And David is ten thousands. Well, see, old Saul already has a demon problem. It might make him a little jealous, don't you? A little angry? They can kind of hate old David. Well, let's see what happens.

Then Saul became, what? Very angry. For this saying, what? It displeased him, and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousand, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?

And Saul looked at David with what? What's that word? That's suspicion, didn't he? From that day on. And now it's easy to tell what's in Saul's heart right here. He has anger, jealousy, hate and murder, fear.

See, he's fearful of David taking the throne away from him and everything, isn't he? Well, let's see how he reacts to all that. Now, where is it that demons talk to you at? Right here in your thoughts?

Is that right? Okay, let's go ahead there. Verse 10,. And that came about on the next day, then of what? He's getting loaded up. Here's another, some more from God. Came what? See, the spirit of God came mightily on David, and now the spirit of the devil has come mightily on Saul, right?

Well, then you can expect David to act like God, and you can expect Saul to act like who? All right? Depending on what kind of seed you're receiving, what kind of spirit you've got in you, and that's who you're going to act like.

You're going to know them by the proof. Let's see how he acts. He came. This evil spirit from who? And he what? For he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand as usual, and a spear was in Saul's hand.

And Saul hurled the spear, for he what? What did he think? He thought murder. Who's talking to him? Are you seeing? When he thought, he hurled the spear. The demons tell him, murder. The spirit of murder is telling him, kill him.

And I will pin David to the wall. But David escaped from his presence twice. Now Saul was a what? See, the spirit of fear. God didn't give you a spirit of fear. Where's the spirit of fear come from? And he was afraid of David.

Fear of David, for the Lord was with him, but had departed from Saul. Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of thousands. And he went out and came in before the people.

That means he's blessed, coming and going. God's owning. You see it? 14. And David was prospering in what? All his ways. That's what happens when you're walking in covenants. For the Lord was with him.

And when Saul saw that he was prospering greatly, he what? Now we see murder and fear and dread, don't we? He dreaded him. Well, I'm telling you, the demons are just taking him over, aren't they? All right, but all Israel knew to love David, and he went out and came before them.

Then Saul said to David, you see, these demons are all, see, they're planning to do away with David with Saul. They're going to use Saul to destroy David. That's the powers of darkness, right? They're pulling the levers there.

Then Saul said to David, here is my older daughter Mirab. I will give her to you as a wife, only be valiant man for me and fight the Lord's battles for what? Saul what? I hope you're marking these as we go through.

Saul thought again. Every time he thought, here's what, let's see what he's thinking this time. And we'll see, we know where it's coming from. When you see what he's thinking, then you know what demon's talking to him.

For he thought, my hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him. He's thinking murder again. You see what thought it is, then you see what is, who's talking to him.

Now that, so in verse 19, so it came about at that time when Mirab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel, Meholathite for a wife. In other words, he flat totally lied there, didn't he?

He just lied. He didn't give the wife to David. He lied about it. And so there is a lying spirit. Are you seeing how, when people are demonized, how they act? Let's look in verse 20, Now Michal, Saul's daughter, loved David.

And when he told Saul, the thing was, was agreeable to him. And then 21, here Saul thinks again. And Saul thought, and here they are talking to him again. I will give her to him that she may become a wife to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against her, be against him.

See, he's still thinking that deceit, jealousy, and murder right there. Is that kind of interesting, folks? See, once you, once you know something, once you have an understanding about it, then you know what you're going to see.

But you'll find out some of the things we call one thing in the Bible is something else. But this is going, hey, don't be discouraged any, folks, because this is going to get clearer and clearer by the hour.

We're just getting started in this thing. Okay? All right. And 21, now let's look in verse 25. Saul then said, Thus you shall say to David, the king does not desire any dowry except 104 skins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king's enemies.

Now Saul, what? Now see right there, he's planning murder. He planned to make David fall by the hands of the Philistines. And that's what the powers of darkness is. He's suspicious, he's jealous, he's angry, he hates, he has murder, fear, and dread.

We've already seen that. Now let's look in 19, chapter 19, just a couple of more verses, and you can come back. Let's look in verse 9. Now there was a what? From the who? Lord on Saul, as he was sitting in his house with this impulsion for murder.

See this evil spirit? Do you see first it tells the evil spirits up there in one verse, and then the next verse he's doing murder? Do you see what the Lord's trying to show us and tell us? Shake your head.

All right. And Saul tried to pin David to the wall with a spear, but he slipped away out of, well, that's what I want you to see. And now as we go on and on, you're going to find the most amazing things, and you're going to find out they're just not isolated places, folks, when you start dealing with the powers of darkness.

It starts from the front to the back. But first you have to believe they're there. Now I want you to turn with me to Galatians 5, please. Galatians 5, I believe we'll start in verse 13. For you were called to what?

Walking by the Spirit Instead of the Flesh

Isn't that good? You were called to free them, brethren, for only due opportunity for the what? Do you see that? Don't turn any opportunities in for the flesh. That's what the devil always tells you to do, make every opportunity an opportunity for the flesh.

But through love, serve one another. What do you think people are doing that don't take opportunities like the devil tells them? If they're doing that, they're kind of biting and devouring one another.

Do you think they will? Let's look in verse 15. But if you want you bite and devour one another, that's what we're kind of used to, take care lest you be consumed by one another. But I say, walk by the what?

Now that means the inner man. And if you walk this way, I hope you're marking this, and you will not carry out the what? If you walk in the Spirit, you're not going to carry out the desire of the flesh, because you were called into liberty and freedom.

And that's good, 17. I mean it sets its desire against what? It sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit sets its desire against what? They're totally opposite. One's in agreement with Satan and the world, and one's in agreement with God.

For these are in what? These are in what? Opposition to one another so that you may not do the things that you want. Folks, look at me. Did you just read in this Bible right here that you cannot do the things your carton wants to?

Will you just write right after that, the lust of the flesh? You can't do it. I mean, your Bible just said there, you can't do the things you please with the carton. Just write it down. But if, there's a condition, verse 18, I hope you marked if.

If you're being led by the Spirit, you're not under the law. We're free. I mean, we've got the Word of God. If we're walking in the Spirit, we're walking in the Word. Do you understand that? We have this Word written in our hearts.

And if you want to a little note, Romans 8, verse 4, you see it clear over there. Now, I want you just to completely remove demons from your mind here right now. We're going to look at the flesh by itself, absolutely without any demons about it.

We're going to see what's in the flesh. Okay? Let's see. Now, the deeds of the flesh, we're going to see some of the deeds of flesh here are evident. Are they evident? You can tell them by their fruit, can't you?

Mark evident. Which are, number one, immorality. Now, that covers a number of things, doesn't it? Impurity, that covers a number of things, doesn't it? Sensuality, that covers hundreds of things. Idolatry, sorcery, that's flesh.

Forget about demons, that's already in the flesh. Enmities, strife, jealousy, outburst of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these of which I want.

God's trying to warn you about something. I forewarn you that I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not enter the kingdom of God. Is that plain? Front pew, back pew, platform, the wages of sin is what?

Now, as you've seen all these things right here in the flesh, this is what God says die to. And the demons come along and they say, come alive, come alive, come alive. And see, in a person who's walking in the spirit of God, we're going to understand that it dies to these things and dying to them.

Is that what your Bible says? Do you want to go by what your Bible says? Which do you choose? Do you want to go find somebody, actually see something in the word of God about demons and say, well, I don't like demons.

You remember what I told you, do you ever, do you ever say, well, I just don't like this. Do you ever try to jump in front of a train, just tell it to stop? You remember I mentioned that? See, you better find that first.

We better say, I don't like it. We better find out why things are the way they are. And look, and then we decide, we just better decide to look at the things from God's point of view, because there's no wisdom, no counsel, there's no understanding against God.

We better put a vote on God. All right, let's go ahead right here. But the demons come along and they tell all these things to come alive. But the fruit of the spirit, do you think that there might be a people that has the form of godliness with these things in their lives?

Do you think they know God? Do you think it might be a fallen away? I think it kind of implies, you know, it says a lot of things right here that we've skipped over in places like that. It's there. Is it there?

Do you understand why I might have a question or two about salvation today? I don't, I'm gonna, I'm gonna cut this out. I'm gonna leave it in and I'm gonna look for a light. Are you? All right. Don't never proclaim something until you know it.

And I want to tell you what, don't you never sweep scripture on the rug. Don't you have it ever fitting a structure, because I want you to tell you this is the structure. This is the structure it better fit.

You better be teachable. You better be willing to unlearn anything you ever learned. Jesus can't lead you in all truth if you don't. All right, now verse 22. Oh, I could pursue that question about salvation just with a whole bunch of things.

And I'm going to tell you something. As sure as God is opening up other things to us, and we walk in what light we have and move out of this thing we're in. He always said, I'm gonna lead you in all truth.

I'm gonna show you the whole thing. You walk in covenant with me. I'll lead you in all truth. I'm the structure. So verse 22, but the fruit of the spirit. Now see here's the opposite. That's the fruit of Satan up there.

That's the fruit of demons and the flesh. See all this is supposed to be dead. And a person say, well that's just, that's just the flesh. How do you know it's a demon? Well, if it's just the flesh, it sounds like you're going to hell.

Sounds like you don't know the Lord. Sounds like it's a pretty serious thing, doesn't it? It's not supposed to be there if it's just the flesh, is it? See folks, let me tell you something. When the powers of darkness move in, you have compulsions to do things you don't want to do.

It's a compulsion. When you give ground and when you try to get away from it and everything, you can't get away from it until you come back to the cross, Calvary. You have to overcome the victory at Calvary.

You can resist and all these things you can do, but you can't control it. It's just like, you know that people sit in the church and they lust toward the choir. Sometimes they sit there so under and in condemnation and guilt all over them, trying to walk with the Lord.

See that Satan has programmed us while he tears us apart inside to hide all this garbage and stuff that's happening to us. See, we don't go out, we don't, those are the things we don't ever talk about what Satan's doing to us.

Do you understand that folks? That's the cover up. That's where pride is. That's where that, he's programmed the world to hang in there while I destroy you and see the church come in there hanging in there.

Do you understand the church is hanging in there, right? Do you understand when you have understanding about this thing that this is good that I'm sharing with you? The bad thing is when you didn't know anything about it.

The good thing is when you have understanding. Do you know why you're having understanding? Why I have understanding for it? Because the grace of God and God has chosen each one of you just even knowing anything about this.

If you have any understanding, it's all divine appointment. I'll tell you, a lot of people don't want to go and come and sit down three hours and hear the word of God. That's kind of boring out there.

I promise you one thing, they'll probably have a nice funeral because they can get a nice coffin and a lot of flowers. I know a lot of folks out there getting acquainted. Twenty-two, but the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace.

This is just the opposite, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such thing is no law. Now folks, I want you to know that this fruit, remember the branch doesn't just do this here by itself.

This is something that the Lord Jesus Christ divine produces in you if you and as you walk in covenant. Amen. And as you start resisting the enemy, when he sees you start resisting, you know what happened?

Grace shows up. Grace is the power that empowers you that you always triumph in Jesus' name over the powers of darkness. Amen. Grace is a power. You walk in it. You don't analyze it anymore. Walk in it.

Crucifying the Flesh and Living by Grace

I've got a refrigerator verse for you here now, right out in front of this refrigerator. Now those, mark those and see if you're one of those. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have what? Crucified the flesh with its what?

Do you belong to Christ Jesus? If I could read my Bible, it says you've crucified the flesh with all its passions and desires. Is that what your Bible says? If you don't like it, get your scissors out and cut it out.

I told you it was going to get interesting before we got through Saturday, didn't I? See, once I get past this point, I don't worry about anybody missing. You will be back. Twenty-five. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

Let us not become what? You'd never catch us doing that, would we? We'd never be boastful about anything, no sirree, except about our church and our works. Challenging one another, what's that word? Ending one another.

Got one more refrigerator verse on here. Next chapter, verse three. For if anyone thinks he's something, when he's nothing, he's what? Won't you just go ahead and decide you're nothing. There's a whole lot of freedom being nothing, you know that?

Not having to be anything. The only way you become important is have God in your life. So that means the only thing that matters is what God's saying, right? So if you're pleasing God, God's doing a whole lot of things.

You know what you're about to become? Tree of life. Do you know what the fruit of righteousness is? The fruit of walking in covenant. People come and pick off that fruit of love. They come over and get joy off of that tree.

They get peace off of your tree. They get salvation. Everywhere you go, you're sloshing on people. Convict the world, and it draws them to life. Brings them to Jesus. Are you seeing what I'm telling you folks?

You are supposed to be a tree of life. And that only comes by walking in covenant. It's something that God does. It's all grace. It never was. Never was. Now, have we decided that when God does not be deceived that we decided that we might be so smart that we could be deceived?
