Good morning,
Let the winds of adversity blow and the storms of change rage against My trees that I have planted. They may bow at the fierce gust of the winds, but they will not break. They, who are Mine have allowed Me to plant them near the river. Their roots go down deep, so deep that nothing can penetrate their depth. They sway with the force of the storm, but they are easily up-righted. For they are rooted in My Word and they have stood the test of time. They are the great oaks and evergreens in My garden. When the heat of trials, tests, and adversities comes, they have found their shade of protection in My Word. These oaks and evergreens have been fruitful to all in My garden. Others take delight in their shade and in the sweet smell that comes from their leaves of life. The foxes and all the enemies of My garden are shocked by the incredible stamina of these great and powerful trees. They have learned how to use all the difficulties and adversities as fodder for their continued growth. My trees remain connected to Me, their source, I have received much glory from their obedient and yielded life. In the days that are coming upon the face of this earth, it will be My trees that will stand for Me and for righteousness and not be moved by what moves the world. Their trust is in Me and My faithfulness to them and in keeping My promises. Because they are deeply rooted in Me, they will rise with wisdom and insight for the days ahead, and many of them will be like Joseph and Daniel. In times of difficulties, times of oppression, times of uncertainty, and challenging times, Joseph and Daniel received heavenly wisdom, knowledge, insight, and revelation for their families as well as for their nations. I am giving to My trees of righteousness that same ability. One will receive a piece of the puzzle, another will receive their piece, and still another their piece. My true people will come together and they will excel at this time as they learn how to be One, as I Am One with the Son and Precious Spirit. We are whole together. So shall My people come, each with his piece to make a whole. Stamping out their childish ways, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and a list of fleshly devices of separation. One as I long for you to be.
Listen My trees for I Am revealing to you the way to go through the midst of these times of tribulation and testing without anything hurting or harming you. If you want in, come and let Me plant you and prune you by My river that you too may be an oak or an evergreen in My eternal garden.
"I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me." (John 15:1-4)
"Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord. For he shall be like a shrub or a person naked and destitute in the desert; and he shall not see any good come, but shall dwell in the parched places in the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. [Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit. (Jer. 17:5-8)
Love,
Pastor D.
