While I was praying at work for the Lord to help me understand all things from a Spiritual point of view, the Lord gave me this vision and word.
The Vision:
In front of me, I saw barren trees that I assumed were either dead or they were simply resting for the winter. Either way, they had no visible leaves or fruit on their seemingly lifeless branches. Then, a pair of glasses were placed over my eyes, and when I looked through them, I again saw the trees, but this time they looked completely different. They were green and lush, and their leaves were gently swaying in the breeze.
The Understanding:
The trees represent people, and as God's ministers, we cannot judge people by what we see or understand with our carnal minds. In these times, the people who we will minister to may seem hardened and lifeless on the outside, but if we view them through the corrective lenses of the Spirit, we will see the truth of who they really are and who God wants them to be. Therefore, if we want to minister to God's people, we must put on the mind of Christ and learn to always judge a righteous, Spirit-led judgment.
The Word:
Judge all things by the Spirit. Do not consider what you see with your eyes, for they will deceive, because they are fleshly and carried away by lust. Ask yourself, are your eyes faithful? Do they not run to and fro to mischief and are they not pleased and made fat by the sight of wickedness? Look to My Spirit for all understanding and you will not err. Be mindful of me in all your ways.
Because, in these days, Satan will try to fool even the very elect if he can, I pray that we all put on the mind of Christ and learn to judge truth by the Spirit rather than by physical or logical laws.
Love and Peace,
Tara

Amen, Tara.
This is true and very important to all who God has called to minister.
We have been indirectly taught of this world to judge books by their covers. Many, if they do not like what they see, will go on to the next never considering in the Spirit if God has called and chosen them.
We must become dead to the flesh, if we desire to walk in the Spirit. The Lord was stirring this in me this morning on my way to work. Like it was discussed yesterday, it is a decision. Let us choose this day that we will no longer allow ourselves to please our flesh (not giving in to emotions).
God bless and may He give us wisdom and understanding in all of these things.

Amen Tara,
We enter in by receiving the Holy Spirit, being transformed by retraining our minds to hear truth, to decern good and evil. We trust God for understanding. There is no other way. Though many try, you cannot bypass the Holy Spirit to come to all truth.

Amen Tara,
This is such a good true understanding. It is so encouraging. God has called us to walk spiritually minded always. No good thing dwelleth in the flesh. God is so faithful and consistent.
God Bless,

Tara,
Amen. When you shared this in church the other day, it blessed me and led to an understanding for a vision. God forgive me for not sharing it at the time to confirm, but as the day went on and I prayed more and more, I found peace in understanding. Since it hasn't left my heart, nor the conviction for missing the timing to speak it:
I had a vision. It was a field of wheat, trees, other crops, etc. I was walking through seeing it all, and then I blinked. And what was just seen as a full-feild of greens, became a barren wastland. Dry, hot, void of all life, and it was noticed that it even lacked the comfort of the wind. It had the essence of what dying of thirst might be like.
At first glance it was full of life, but with God revealing it, it's true nature was dead and actually life draining. Wandering and not being spirit led, time was wasted (bearing no Glory). There was no edification in fact, It was physically and spiritually affecting.
There will be places that seem hopeless and seemingly dead, but God knows its end and we should see it how He does (those spiffy glasses). He gives us eyes to see what is and could be brought to life, but as I am understanding what my vision was meant too, He also gives us eyes by the same spirit (discernment) to see barrens end.
Leaving the cares, vain imaginations and continually (and only) being spirit led will guide us to what God would have, where there will be true life.
Just being spirit led is the answer. It's pretty much a big deal. That is if we want to truely find our callings and glorify (love) God.
Give me eyes and ears to hear Lord, wisdom to understand Lord, and the confidence to speak it all by your utterance.
God Bless dearly,
-Carmen
