Hi John,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have a question about this verse from the BLOG (below): “Every plant that my heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted” (Mt.\u00a015:13). \u00a0Is this people with the holy ghost? \u00a0Or is it that God’s people are in such bad shape they don’t know who God has planted?<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Stuart.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When God baptizes someone with the holy ghost, He has planted them in His kingdom. That is why we warn every man that, even though God’s people do not know who God has and has not planted (because they do not know the holy ghost baptism is the new birth), God does know. As Paul said, “The Lord knows who are His.” \u00a0And when God cleans house, He will cast out every soul He has not really cleansed with His Spirit, no matter how religious that souls is and no matter what men think of him.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

May God grant us the grace to truly live in His Spirit, and not content ourselves with merely being praised by men who think that we are righteous.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

God\u2019s Plants<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose who are planted in the house of the LORD\u00a0shall flourish in the courts of our God.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In old age, they shall still bring forth fruit; they shall be fat and flourishing, to show that the\u00a0LORD\u00a0is upright.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.<\/em>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 92:13\u201315<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spirit of the LORD\u00a0God is upon me; because the\u00a0LORD\u00a0has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek . . . to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the\u00a0LORD, that He might be glorified \u2013 Isaiah 61:1a, 3.<\/span><\/p>\n
