Just as there were two trees in the Garden, there remain two trees in the heart of man.  The first tree is the tree of life, the second is the Knowledge of Good and Evil.  These trees represent the two distinct approaches to God and the lens that we see, God, the Kingdom, and each other through.

 

The hindrance to the Ekklesia/church receiving the Abundant Life in Christ is the “carnal mind”. The carnal mind is enmity(hostile) towards the God Head (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the Word.
