Peter Roselle: Possessing Your Vessel - Tracking From Fruit to Root
Channel: King of Kings Worship Center
Date: 10/03/2020

This video is the last class of a seven-week course taught at King of Kings Worship Center based on the book, "Transforming the Inner Man," by John and Paula Sandford. Covered here is the concept Jesus describes in Matthew 7:16 “You will know them by their fruits.” In Isaiah 45:3 we read that God will, “give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places.” Often our unhealthy behavior can be tracked back areas where our thinking does not align with God’s Word (also called LIES). If you are struggling with repeated destructive behavior patterns (such as uncontrolled anger, drug and alcohol abuse, binge eating or self-sabotage), we identify that as “bad fruit.” Jesus said in Matthew 7:18 “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.” The angry outbursts are not the root problem, it is a symptom, or the “fruit,” of the problem. Where there is fruit, there is always a root. We hope to help you learn how to track from the fruit back to the root so the counterfeit belief systems can  be uprooted and replaced with the truth of God’s  Word.

Tracking Fruit to Root Patterns
Next Steps / Goals / Practical Application
keep this spiritual awareness moving forward.
Keep a journal, God will continually be providing clues to help you understand root issues
If you see fruit, there is always a root
“We must not discern solely by what the eyes see, or the ears hear, 
but rather must use gifts of Holy Spirit insight 
to penetrate beyond events and circumstances. 
We must look, as God does, upon the heart.”

ACTIVE HOLY SPIRIT LISTENING
We will see the importance of listening and establishing the trust 
necessary to allow people to share their lives. 
Sensitive listening occurs in three ways: 
we listen with our minds; 
with our empathetic personal spirits; 
and with an ear to what God wants to tell us. 
Our listening results in information gathering which will lead us 
to areas of woundedness, helping us to recognize fruit-to-root patterns.

Matthew 7
16 You will know them by their fruits. 
Do men gather grapes from thorn-bushes or figs from thistles? 
17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 
20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

1 Corinthians 9 (Message)
19-23 Even though I am free of the demands and expectations of everyone, 
I have voluntarily become a servant to any and all in order to reach a wide 
range of people… I didn’t take on their way of life. 
I kept my bearings in Christ—
but I entered their world and tried to experience 
things from their point of view. 
I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in 
my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life.
I did all this because of the Message. I didn’t just want to talk 
about it; I wanted to be in on it!

Ephesians 4
11-12 And He Himself gave some to be 
apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, 
and some pastors and teachers, 
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, 
for the edifying of the body of Christ, 
14 that we should no longer be children, 
tossed to and fro…
15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things 
into Him who is the head—Christ
16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit 
together by what every joint supplies,
…by which every part does its share, 
causes growth of the body 
for the edifying of itself in love.
