Dr. M.A. Petillo & Reformed Baptist Preacher
“He
will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit
in its season and its leaf in its season and its leaf does not whither, and in
whatever he does, he prospers.” (Psalm
1:3 NASB).
1. Once there
is true grace there is the keeping power of a holy Triune God that lasts
through life unto glory.
2. Those that a
holy Triune God saves eternally changes for His purposes unto eternal mercy for
the glory of the eternal Son.
3. God causes a
genuine spiritual change among those of the elect unto everlasting mercy that
grows in honor of the Father.
4. A holy
Triune God causes the Christian to be firmly planted in Him where no storm,
avalanche or catastrophe will remove God’s oath through His Son as the only way
to the Father in heavenly bliss for His chosen redeemed.
5. The elect
are like steady trees even when the wind is violate against them that the Father
in His design has planted in the Son by the work of the Spirit that are firm in
the possession of the profession of their testimony.
6. The streams
of water are like the eternal Son as the Living Water as Incarnate Deity who
quenches every spiritual thirst for everlasting life in the Father’s program.
7. The streams
of water are like the written Word where it is the Water of the Word that puts
out the fires of hell and produces a calm stream of living water that is a
Christian life of true peace.
8. The Holy
Spirit nurtures the planted tree by accompanying the living Water of the Word
that provides well-being for the planted tree to produce fruit that is all
about the life of Jesus Christ.
9. Those of a
false grace serve a God who is not able to keep them firmly planted in true
grace because the essence of who God is comes down to His eternal aseity
(self-existence) in which their false god lacks the keeping power to bring them
to glory with a good testimony rooted in true grace.
10.
Streams of living water provide a sense of peace to
saints like trees who have a rough season of all kinds of trails, tribulations
and personal alleged earthquakes.
11.
The Holy Spirit is the grounds for conviction of
election through the Son by the Father’s plan but only a false spirit would
deny his oath of remaining faithful to His elect where the ground opens and
they fall into the abyss of hell but in ancient times this has actually
happened under Moses in Old Testament History and yet a holy Triune God did not
lie to these reprobate people but made them objects of justice but preserved
objects of mercy.
12.
A stream is a way to bring a calming-peace to the mind
that seems to provide comfort because of the gentleness of the great power of
water in that it encourages us to remember the mind of Christ because He
perfectly possessed the mind of peace.
13.
Jesus Christ is the
Incarnate Streams of Living Water
that is the only answer for the divine remedy of the soul because only He can
bring a lost pre-converted elect reprobate to heaven.
14.
A tree like a counterfeit profession is not firmly
planted which is a tree that is not faithful but the fruit of faithfulness is a
work of the Spirit of God and the written Word of God.
15.
A tree like a true Christian is a work of beauty
before a holy God because He has shaping His elect creature into the image of
the Son without becoming the Son but loving them equally as the Son without
becoming God because God cannot became God because if God is God He always was,
is and forever shall be God.
16.
A holy Triune God is the essence of beauty because we
are able to tell by His handiwork of His creation that teaches us about His
divine craftsmanship, architecture and design of all things to glorify Himself
because all meaning comes from a holy God.
17.
A tree cut down
is a tree that’s lost its profession but is an indication of a false possession
because false profession is based on faulty grounds of salvation.
18.
What does a Christian firmly planted look like? A true Christian is someone who is nourished
by the Water of the Word and prayer to the Living Water Who is Incarnate Deity.
19.
What is a true characteristic of a true tree? A true tree is a tree firmly planted and
nearby a good supply of water.
20.
What happens when there is bad ground for the
tree? It is much like a false professor
who believes they are saved by faith and works or grace and works or adding to
the all-exclusive, centrality of the Cross of Jesus Christ as the Rock of
Offense.
21.
What happens if the water gets polluted? If the Water of the Word is polluted it looks
like the tree will die, but if the Water of the Word is good it will grow.
22.
Pollution of living water is denying the eternal deity
of the Son.
23.
Pollution of living water is denying the sinless
humanity of the Son.
24.
Pollution of living water is denying the sinless death
of the Son.
25.
Pollution of living water is denying the bodily
resurrection of the eternal Son.
26.
Pollution of the Water of the Word is adding something
to the God-breathed Bible to have extra-revelation that is not compatible to
the divine revelation of Scripture.
27.
A tree wrongly planted is like a tree that is falsely
born again by decisional regeneration.
28.
A tree wrongly planted is like a tree that is falsely
born again by a different spirit like a Modalistic monergism (denying the distinctions
within the Triune Godhead but advocating Reformed rebirth, or denying the real
Three persons and reducing Jesus to a mere man, or better yet a Jesus who
speaks to himself while falsely calling upon the Father and Spirit while they
exist from him and yet do not exist in theological confoundedness).
29.
A tree is comforted by the solid ground of good soil,
because it is much like a firmly planted Christian by the Spirit of God who is
planted in solid ground where it flourishes.
30.
Sometimes the sun is hard on living things in the
heat, but this could refer to the Father’s corrective judgment and yet it is
quenched by streams of living water and refreshed, revived and restored to be a
trophy of His invisible Hand in His handiwork.
31.
A stream of water is water that calming goes over all
rocks and all kinds of things that smooth them to a brilliance of a picture of
tranquility in the peace of a holy Triune God.
32.
A living stream smoothes over the rock of our hearts
for St. Peter is known as the rock as a nickname but it does not refer to him
as the leader of the Roman Church because St. Paul and St. Peter refer to Jesus
Christ as the Rock of Offense but St. Peter is the leader of a heart of stiff-necked
rocks where the true Rock of Supremacy is Incarnate Deity where He does not
have a rock for a heart but the very of God Incarnate that surpasses all
creatures in everyway as the Head of the orthodox Christian church.
33.
Those firmly planted in Christ as genuine trees of God
like the standing people of God in Christ will not be cut down but endure to
everlasting life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
34.
A gentle stream is like the peace of the river of
living life that symbolizes Jesus Christ as the River of Living
Water.
35.
Jesus quenches the spiritual thirst of true people of
God but reprobates are blinded who thirst unto eternal damnation.
36.
The taste of heaven is the Spirit of God bringing the
gift of Jesus to His people that were decided before time began.
37.
The Father plants His people in Christ through the
Spirit.
38.
The Spirit maintains the growth of the genuine
Christian.
39.
The Son is the all-sufficient Substitute for the
intent of His people.
40.
The Son is the gentle living stream that declares
words of peace.
41.
The Father’s design of the living stream is love
through His Son.
42.
The Spirit’s keeping power of God’s people is
nourished in the firm unified work of Incarnate Deity.
43.
The fruits of God’s people in Christ yields growth in
the appointed season by the Spirit of God.
44.
The fruit of a Christian is produced by the Spirit of
God.
45.
The Spirit produces genuine Christ-honoring love.
46.
The Spirit produces authentic God-working joy.
47.
The Spirit produces God-appointed peace of God in
pain.
48.
The Spirit produces patience to endure the will of the
Father.
49.
The Spirit produces kindness that is an example by
Jesus.
50.
The Spirit produces goodness that sinfully reflects
imputed merit of Jesus in a positional sense under God’s never-failing oath.
51.
The Spirit produces faithfulness in all His people to
endure as an example of all things pertaining to thought, word and deed.
52.
The Spirit produces gentleness in His people to have
power over evil, sin and darkness to be saints like Jesus Christ.
53.
The Spirit produces self-control that is about purity.
54.
The trees bud when spring time arrives to make a leaf
that is much like the blooming flower that blossoms into beauty much like the
Christian who becomes a thing of beauty by the Supreme Potter’s handiwork in
conformity to Jesus Christ.
55.
The leaf blooms into a full leaf of green after God’s
handiwork like the Christian blooms into a fully authentic life that
demonstrates its beauty in God’s design that connected to the tree where the
tree like Christians are nourished by Christ as the Incarnate Living Water
where repeated acts of drinking are not required but simply the Spirit putting
out the fire of the Burning Bush through the Living Water Who is Jesus Christ.
56.
The leaf changes colors in different seasons but the
Christian can never fall out of the Triune Hand of God though he may feel
spiritual dumb, dead and dark but He is positionally secure in Christ under
God’s eternal oath that refers to God swearing an oath to Himself where no lies
enter but only Incarnate Truth.
57.
The genuine Christian prospers in the genuine gospel.
58.
The prosperity of the Christian is about Jesus Christ.
59.
The prosperity of the gospel is about the work of the
Spirit.
60.
The authentic gospel is about the unified imputation
of Jesus.
61.
The full life of a Christian is about the prosperity
of Christian living but the prosperity teachers fail at everyway because of an approbation
of the idolatry of substance rather than the approbation of the furtherance of
superlative holiness.
62.
The green leaf is like a growing Christian.
63.
The yellow leaf is like a Christian yielding to the
Spirit or yielding to the sinfulness of sin but it changes if the Christian
does not die to sin and live to Jesus in a true practical sense in progressive
sanctification by the Spirit and Word.
64.
The red leaf reminds me of a red day that happened
two-thousand years ago that was about the Cross of the Incarnate Lamb of God.
65.
The leaf that dies is like putting sin to death in a
prosperous living the poorly reflects positional truth in experiential living
where the Christian puts sin to death by confessional repentance through Christ
crucified where in the end the Christian is made alive to Jesus by the Spirit
of God and the written Word.
66.
The tree prospers with great leafs that change colors
in its season but reminds until a holy Triune God starts it again much like those
who accelerate in the Christian life but at times need to rediscover their
intimacy of Jesus by streams of living water.
67.
Prosperity of the heart is about honesty to Jesus in
all things because the Spirit gives us the gift of Incarnate Truth that changes
our hearts forever.
68.
Prosperity of the mind is about bringing all to God
through His eternal Son by His Spirit in every particular sin where the Son
forgives and cleanses His true people from anything they would bring before Him
because He loves them through His Son but they do not become the Son but have
the Father’s love through the Son by the Spirit’s work in them that reaches
beyond the gates of heaven to endless glory that is all about Jesus Christ.
69.
Christians firmly planted are about the glory of Jesus.
70.
Christians who reflect on streams of living water are
about the glory of Jesus.
71.
Christians who have fruit in due season are also about
the glory of Jesus.
72.
The Christians must do whatsoever is right because
Jesus is all about doing whatsoever is right.
73.
The Christian must prosper because of the power of the
Spirit.
74.
All things have their being from the power of God but
God is not apart of His creation in the falsehood of pantheism.
75.
A holy Triune God is transcendent above His creation.
76.
A holy Triune God is involved in every detail of His
creation because He is a God who is meticulously involved in all He creates for
His meticulous glory of all things for His own honor, worship and glory due to
His plan, purpose and handiwork.
77.
We live and move and have our being by God’s very
power of Being that sustains, maintains and governs all things.
78.
Without God’s sustaining power nothing would exist.
79.
No Christian withers to spiritual death but enters
glory.
80.
No Christian has conditional salvation but endure forever.
81.
No Christian hates God like he did before God found
him.
82.
All true Christians grow but there is no true
Christian that does not grow.
83.
False Christians are not real Christians but wither,
die and do not prosper to the end unto glory but fail because they do not have
the Spirit where He finishes what He started unto the Father’s design in honor
of the Son.
84.
There was nothing but the Triune Majesty but He spoke
all into being by the sheer Word of His power because He possesses the very
power of Being.
85.
There are those among us who make a category error
when they errantly suppose to be able to marry a tree where a tree is not human
but it is so confounded that fallen sinners have degraded traditional marriage
to an ultimate extent where reason is furtherest from their minds rooted in
spiritual insanity.
86.
A Christian is a creature of God’s handiwork that is
redeemed by Christ through the Spirit and the Word.
87.
Do reprobates prosper?
Reprobates do not prosper in true godliness but reprobates prosper in rebellion.
88.
Sometimes God’s creation like a donkey is wiser than
the spiritual madness of fallen humans.
89.
I suppose a tree is even wiser than fallen sinners in
a hyperbole because it groans in a symbolic sense over a world of sin and
awaits the glory of the Son in full victorious honor.
90.
What is a meaning of a leaf? It is about God’s preservation of the saints
by the Spirit of God and Word of God forever because He cannot go against
Himself and lie but He is true and faithful.
91.
A tree cannot grow without the sun much like a
Christian who cannot grow without the eternal Son.
92.
A leaf cannot grow apart from the tree much like a
Christian cannot grow without obeying Hebrews Chapter 10 in honoring Christian
fellowship in the local church.
93.
A stream of water cannot exist but by God’s
permission, direction and handiwork that nourishes the whole tree and leafs
much like the Lord Jesus nourishes us by the Water of the Word.
94.
No tree can uproot itself like no Christian can keep
himself to the end but by the Spirit.
95.
The Father will see His people through no matter what
because of the work of the Son by His Spirit.
