Experience : Tree of Knowledge

Today the Lord gave me an experience of the tree of knowledge, which is deadness and darkness, for a while. 

A month ago I had so much peace and joy to invest on plots in NH4 and I did so with much prayer and in  oneness with my wife. Everything was so joyful at the very thought of it, and in the very act of executing the planned investment, including all the payments and registration processes. It has been a joyful moment and it should ever be. 

But the attack of the enemy was eminent. Though I intend to keep this matter personal, but the brother who helped me in all the processes leaked the news in joy to other brothers when we met them. Though it has been a joyful news indeed, to be able to own lands here, the enemy was not joyful at all. He incited all negative thoughts in comparison with some other subordinate deals. With all these thoughts on the tree of knowledge killed my spirit almost. I was filled with doubts and darkness for a while. But as I knelt in prayer, the Lord reminded me that everything I did was in utter consent and agreements to all terms and conditions laid down by the company even before I ventured to invest on it. Everything I did was with full agreements on all the terms and conditions and payments plan. The Lord reminded me that I should not pay heed to all post thoughts and analysis based on the tree of knowledge of good and evil, right or wrong, but to the tree of life that led me to do the investment. Even if I had been cheated, though not, the God who led me through is the God of righteousness and I should not worry a bit. Even if something has gone wrong without my consent, I should not bother a bit. For the Lord is the sovereign one who rules above all.

After this prayer, the attack of the enemy on deadness and negative feelings left me completely. When it should be a joyful day, the enemy wanted to turn it into a dreadful day. I must never eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but always of life. It was indeed a sweet experience to un-experience the the experience of the tree of knowledge. Always eat and live by the tree of life.
