If GOD is real then...

WHY DIDNT THIS POST GENERATE ANY OPINIONS FROM YOU FOLKS? I honestly
believe ever word I wrote below, and if the Tree of Life exists how can so
many people of faith be so blind???



March 31, 2005 (Please share this with whomever you like)

Where do I start? GOD is leading me, that's always a good thing. Wow, I
can't believe I'm about to type all this here, but I am. "I am" that is GOD,
not me, so says The Bible.

Is GOD leading me now while I type I wonder as I type. This guy at work, he
tries telling me about this plant or fruit called "noni", that it's a
business he wants me to consider. I laugh and say 'oh multi level marketing
huh?" and he says "no". That his Church Pastor is the one who got him to
join it. Ok, that, reference to his Pastor, caught my interest so I listened
and thought "hmmm, I wonder".

The next morning I'm doing my normal morning prayer, then bible reading, and
dang it GOD speaks to my heart - that when I go back into work I should talk
to Jamol, the guy who told me about this Noni thing. Well, long story short,
we go round and round for a few weeks. Jamol not really pressuring me, in
fact giving up on me each day more than the day before, me going home,
waking each morning, praying, reading The Bible and hearing GOD say to me
"wake up and listen to me". One day I go to work and say to Jamol "Hey man I
want to buy a bottle of that Noni juice" so he puts a bottle on my desk, and
by the end of the day I hand it back saying "nah, I've changed my mind". I
went back and forth over this more than I care to remember. Each morning
being led back to the desire after prayer and bible study. Everytime I tried
to talk myself out of this noni thing, GOD spoke to my heart, directing me
to move towards it.

So I join this Noni business under Jamol. Jamols Pastor calls me a day or
two later, welcoming me aboard and directs me to Revelations 22:2 "In the
midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the
tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yeilded her fruit
every month for the healing of the nations." WOW I thought, is this Pastor
trying to say this could be the tree of life? And to Daniel 2:22 (I think
wait Rev 22:2 vs Dan 2:22 'whats this all about') "He revealeth the deep and
secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth
with him." Is GOD revealing something to me? To you?

I study some more, the Noni or Morinda citrifolia as its also known,
actually reproduces itself every 3 to 4 weeks! GOD continues to tell me to
pay attention, so I do. Never before have I heard GOD speaking to my heart
like this! I pray daily for wisdom and understanding before reading The
Bible and am led from the end of the Bible Revelations to the beginning in
Genesis 2:9 "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that
is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil." Again I
think WOW! The Tree of Life was created in the beginning in the Garden of
Eden and remained throughout time to Revelations? Could this possibly be
true? Again GOD speaks to my heart that HIS word and The Bible ARE
undeniably true. I get pumped up to say the least. Could I be onto something
so simple yet so easily hidden to the World all these years, and WHY ME? Why
am I making this connection? Is GOD really leading me in this? I pray over
and over on this, at one point falling to my knees in my shower thanking GOD
for what he's done in my life, and doing, still not fully recognizing the
complexity of this.

I began searching the Bible for more information on this "Tree of Life" as
mentioned in the Bible, finding:


Proverbs 11:30 "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that
winneth souls is wise." Sure, being a distributor of this noni, I want to
win souls (if that be HIS will for me).

Then I go back to Revelations to see if I'm losing my mind in all this and
find:

Revelations 22:14 "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city."

Then back to Genesis I go, finding a second reference there too:

Genesis 3:24 "So he drove out the man; and phe placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
keep the way of the tree of life." This after Adam & Eve ate of the tree of
knowledge and wisdom which I believe was destroyed all the while GOD
maintaining the existence of the tree of life, the same tree mentioned in
Revelations or the end of times. Surely GOD saved and protected the
existence of this tree as its mentioned in Revelations.

And this is where it gets really unique, I pray even harder that I am being
led by GOD in this. Would Satan, or a demon use The Bible to excite me so in
favor of what I am reading in The Bible? Surely, this has to be GODs will
for me to discover (and now share). I then find myself reading some more in
Genesis and about Noah. Now I always thought I knew all about Noah, but
after reading with what I believe is a pure heart discover not only did Noah
sail for fourty days and nights during the flooding, but an additional 150
days! That's over six months! And he was 600 years old (900 when he died)!
How could this be I ask myself and am again led to "the tree of life". How
could Noah have built an Ark as big as we know it, filling it with all the
plants and animals and sustaining it with enough food for over six months???
He MUST have had Noni trees on board which bear fruit every three to four
weeks, this would explain the long, healty lives they lived back then,
especially if Noni was a staple or main part of their diets. At this point
the tree of life is not being guarded by a flaming sword as the tree is
being used by man and animals again. As man and animals spread about after
the floods their diets surely change from 99% noni or whatever to what it is
today. End result, we don't live hundreds of years anymore. Yet the tree
would remain until the end of times.

The Noni story goes that the Noni fruit was brought to the Tahiti over 2000
years ago, and to this day flourishes there. There's plenty of information
about how in the 1950's a scientist discovered noni, who worked for Dole
pineapple, and fast forward to now this Noni company being one of the
biggest companies in the world, though only tapping into like 4% of the
world market in the last 10 years.

(I am writing to someone here, not sure why, perhaps to you the reader, if
nothing else I am thankful that I have been blessed with getting this onto a
written format to share with you. I am saddened that the "Corporate" world
has a lock on this product but cannot deny how it's improving my health,
physically and spiritually in recognizing what this truly is, as well as
financially. I must admit I began tithing about 2 months prior to this
revelation in my life, and continue to tithe and make other offerings
according to HIS direction.)

I have read other verses regarding the tree of life, I truly believe that as
The Bible says, it existed in the beginning until the end of times. I am in
awe at why GOD chose me to see this in this light where as others just see
the Noni thing as a healty fruit. It is so evident to me, through prayer,
through The Bible and most importantly through HIS Holy Spirit that is
guiding me right now as I type. Thank you Jesus, for everything, all that I
have, and all that I don't. I've never really felt I was anybody of
importance though always knowing GOD had a plan for me, and still does. How
thankful I am to have been brought this far.

I welcome your thoughts and comments. By all means, email me at the email
address listed below. Yes Noni is a business for now, but imagine a world
where the countries of the world with severe poverty, where the starving,
poor and sick could benefit from the Noni plant for free. That's my dream,
and I pray that it's GOD will in my life to make it happen. Is The Bibles
"Tree of Life" finally being revealed? You decide, investigate this, and
PLEASE let me know what you find. Make sure you pray first, for guidance,
understanding and wisdom - you might be in for a real awakening, I sure was.


God Bless You All,
Steve Montgomery
