The Dried Up Tree
9/08/21 THE DRIED UP TREE
Today on my walk my eye caught the little dried-up tree in the middle of the field. Last summer, due to covid rules, our neighbors had an outdoor wedding in the middle of their field. They had planted a little palm tree and a pretty little flower bed in a circle around the tree. Many people attended the wedding and parked their cars in the field. Today all that remains is a dried-up tree and weeds.
Obviously what had been planted had not been tended after the wedding. No water, nourishment, or weeding. The bride and groom represent His church. It made me think about how important it is to tend to the relationships God has given us on earth.
In the NT godly relationships were watered in the fellowship of prayer and nourished through breaking bread together, and sharing His Word. Each gave their part for the sake of God’s purposes. Are you spending time with the loved ones you are yoked with? Are you giving as well as receiving from one another? Do you pray together? Share His Word? Take time to tend and nourish your relationships and you will not become a dried up tree surrounded by weeds.
9/08/21 UNIFIED FELLOWSHIP
HEARD: I have commanded a blessing. To open your doors. There is room for you. Encounter. Each gift has a purpose. How you approach life. A certain grid. A filter. What you see and what you don’t. Your filter gives you a unique perspective. Valued and needed. Volunteer love. I will help you. Share your wealth.
Psalm 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.
9/09/21 BRINGING OTHERS WITH YOU
Again, watch what I will do with a yielded vessel. Finding a way through this. Alignment is a straight path. Bringing others with you. You haven’t given up. It’s who you are.
WORD TO PONDER: THE POWER OF UNITY 2/02/2020
My righteous remnant, learn the beauty of fellowship and dwell together in such. It is there that you shall grow up into My fullness. The closer you align with Me, the closer you come to one another. I AM bringing about a oneness in My Spirit where nothing will be restrained from your purpose and plans. This comes through the power of My anointing where you dwell together in as a unit. It is there that I command a blessing of prosperity to liberally flow. Rich in health, rich in My favor and goodness, rich in relationship with Me and My good gifts. The power of My anointing will descend upon you each and every morning and will flow over your entirety.
Ps 133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life forevermore.
Ge 11:6-8 And the LORD said, Behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there upon the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
