Looking at my backyard, I saw a tree had fallen. The top was so big that it blocks the path to my garden. that path is 30 feet wide. just the bough top covered that. Well when in the bible study not concerning trees, the Holy Spirit kept showing scriptures about trees.
Job 14:7-9 This was the first passage that was in the list. Sharing this in a explanatory way-- if the tree be cut down, there is hope that it will sprout again. Even though the root and stock die in the ground, if it catches a scent of water it will bud and bring forth boughs.
In Isa. 11:1 This is exactly what is being talked about. Jesse, father of David will carry a seed which is also going to be passed down through generations to bring forth the branch-- Jesus Christ. Israel is the fallen olive tree in Rom. 11:17. read all of that chapter to see the picture.
Up to this point you may know all I have said so far. Now let's see where this takes us. We are talking about revival. Are you a grafted branch in the tree of Christ? Have you fallen backwards and seem to be out of touch with Jesus? I have good news. Because we are using spiritual pictures, people as trees, Then if there is a repentance from sin and actually a weak faith and trust in the Lord, God will honor you as a seeker of his righteousness.
Remember Hezekiah? He wept and apologized for his sins. God heard that fallen tree who was about to die. Isa.38:1. God healed him and restored him to a fruitful bough.
Grace is a gift and not to be abused. 1Jn. 1:9 if we confess our sins God is faithful to forgive.
I know someone who keeps mistreating his wife yet he apologizes and does it again and again.
Is someone watching you when no one else is? AI is. They are watching your every move. Act like you are being watched and someone sees you will help you walk upright. After all God is watching you--even through the eyes of eternity. He knows all your thoughts.
More good news. If God is watching us how much more we can please him. That is how you make friends happy. Your wife and family get closer when you be sweet and kind. God is no different.
Won't you go on and bless someone today and maybe even bring them salvation. God loves love.
Also when we pray in tongues we have a river flow from our belly. Jn. 4:10. The fruit that water brings on your tree is supernatural. Remember how the blood is pictured by the grape? What a blessing to be alone and partake of the bread and the cup. I have received healings by doing that.
Lastly, we can be renewed daily. 2 Cor. 4:16 your mind is the bough on top of your tree. positive thinking must be coupled with righteous thinking. Like brother and sister even. The world is positively lost without Christ and they try to think positive. The bible will always be the most edifying and build up the inner man. Or to say water the branches.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
