FOUNDATION STATEMENT: What you have in life is coming from the tree of your belief in your heart. In the Kingdom of God system the tree that yields the fruit is your belief.  The belief in your heart produces what you have in life.  Your life is a product of what you believe in your heart.  (Matthew 8:13, Proverbs 23:7)

 

I.      The results in your life spring from your belief and like the fruit that springs forth from a tree

A.     The results you have in life are determined by the kind of belief you have in your heart. 

1.      The kind of fruit that you have is determined by what kind of tree that you have

B.      EX: If you spend time sowing the word on healing, it’s going to produce a belief in your heart that you are healed.  That belief is going to produce the fruit of healing manifested.  You had to have the tree of belief to get the fruit of healing. 

C.     It’s a possibility that you have some beliefs in you right now that are producing things that you don’t want in your life

II.     Your life is a reproduction of what you believe in your heart (Proverbs 23:7)

A.     Whatever belief has been PRODUCED in your heart will be REPRODUCED in your life
