The Winds of Change — The Tree of Life — The Roar of the Lion
I heard, “The Winds of Change, the Tree of Life and the Roar of the Lion of Judah” in the Spirit.
I heard the sound of the Wind rustling through the leaves of the trees. And I heard, “He is COMING IN LIKE A LION!”
“Beloved, Turn and hear the Wind blowing. I have gone before you to make a way. Like a Mighty Rushing Wind, My Spirit is moving on your behalf to strike down the enemy.
“You shall not fear. My Heavenly Armies are marching; hear the Sound in the tops of the trees. They are so close to you, My Child.
“Never far but always near to do My bidding. They hearken to the Voice of My Word. Have no fear of bad reports, do not be shaken by them.
“I give My Angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. Wherever you go, I AM with you. Do not fear evil tidings but remain steadfast, trusting in your LORD.
“The Tree of Life stands before you. I AM that Tree of Life. He who eats and drinks of My Body shall live and not die. Though a thousand fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, it will not come near you.
“For this is My Promise to you. You overcome by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony. Whom shall you fear when you eat of the Tree of Life?
“No one or nothing, Beloved. The Winds of Change have come to FREE you from all encumbrances.
“Hear the Sound of the marching in the tops of the trees and rejoice! I AM the Lion of Judah ROARING over you!
You shall look with satisfaction upon the Adversary. For whom the Son has set free is free is free indeed!”
Dear sisters and brothers, I didn’t even think about this being the first of March and the saying about “coming in like a Lion or a Lamb” when I wrote this until I was ready to post and then heard the part of “He is coming in like a lion”.
Well, Jesus is BOTH, is He not? Don’t you love it? The Lion and the Lamb! Hallelujah!
Christ [is] the true tree of life… because as Mediator, He is the prince of life giving life to the world and eternal life in heaven by glory; for He is “the resurrection and the life” who will most certainly bestow upon his own eternal life.
Truly He is the only tree because no one except Christ is the author of eternal life (nor is there salvation in any other, Acts 4:12).
No one except Christ is in the midst of paradise (Revelation 2:7) and of the street of the city (Revelation 22:2).
Christ is in the midst of the Church (as a more honorable and suitable place) to be near all and diffuse his vivifying power among all; to be seen by all, as the center in which all the lines of faith and love ought to meet, that they may acquiesce in him.
The fruit-bearing tree (Revelation 2:7), which bears the sweetest and most exquisite fruit for the support of believers, bears twelve kinds of them (Revelation 22:2), i.e., the most abundant and richest, sufficing for the twelve tribes of Israel (i.e., for all the members of the church, which from his fullness draw all gifts necessary for them).
It bears them every month (i.e., perpetually) because the power and efficacy of the righteousness and spirit of Christ are perpetual and unceasing for the consolation and sanctification of believers.
Its leaves (never falling and perpetually green) are appointed for the healing of the nations because it has the virtue not only of aliment (to feed our souls), but also of medicine (most healthful to cure all our diseases, Isaiah 53:5; Matthew 11:28).
“And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the LORD will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines,” (the enemy) 2 Samuel 5:24.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God,” Revelation 2:7.
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and of the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations,” (Have you been seeing twos?) Revelation 22:2.
“He will not fear evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD,” Psalm 112:7.
“The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit,” John 3:8.
Amen.
