> It has been revealed to me the following that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and that God made man in His image. And then man was placed in a garden and in the midst of the garden God planted the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowlege of Good and Evil.
> Adam and his wife, Eve, were warned by God not to eat of the tree of the knowlege of good and evil or they would die. They ate of the tree of the knowlege of good and evil, but not of the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden which if they had eaten of that tree in the midst of the garden, they would have lived forever and God banished them from the garden.
> The tree of life was in the midst of the garden. It has been revealed to me that he that overcomes shall be given to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
> And there is a City of God where god is in the midst of, and a river runs through it.
> It has been revealed to me that if Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of life that they would have been in God's image for they would have had God's nature along with the nature of the knowlege of good and evil. And it has been revealed to me that we were born to be in the image of God , a son of god, and that we can be completed to be Sons of God by eating of the tree of life that was in the midst of the garden.
> And in a revelation I met a Rider on a White Horse and He said to me, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them."
