Depending on the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil rejects the humility that can receive direct supernatural revelation of God’s love, mercy, and grace and replaces it with the pride of human evaluation and self-protection.

The book of Revelation reveals three weapons for overcoming the enemy’s attempts to keep us eating from the wrong tree and entrapped by guilt and sin. The three spiritual weapons that will build us together in Christ on the rock of direct, personal revelation from the living God are:

1) Continually relying on Christ’s blood alone for forgiveness and freedom from guilt and sin.
2) Telling people how Christ has forgiven us and is freeing us from guilt and sin by His blood.
3) Abandoning self-protection and fear when we are faced with feelings of rejection, humiliation, persecution, and even of being threatened by death.

“They overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus the Christ, the Creator made flesh and dwelling among us) and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” –Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

(Here’s a testimony: I woke up this morning with these 3 revelations running through my spirit. Then I went to a blog I frequent, Wake-Up Call and they were a great match for today’s content.)
