*There’s Life in the Tree*
*11~/16-17~/02*
Prayer
Ps 1
I want to be that tree -- don’t you?
Praying recently with pastors
Talked about how the Season over America has changed -- How many of you know . . . .
.
• Stock Market~/Economy
• Terrorism~/War
• Iraq
In the natural things are different
We began praying 'Lord, What season are we in?’ in the Spirit
Why is that an important question?
• We want to be like tree planted -- bearing fruit every season
• How many know -- go thru seasons in our walk
• When you Know your season -- it’s FREEING
• You understand how to INVEST for the next season
• As pastor -- knowing the condition of the sheep
• Understanding what are the battles~/challenges we face in this season
Asking Lord what season
Felt Like he said, we’re in a winter season
I started to meditate on that -- Lord, what does that mean?
So tonight~/this morning I Want to talk about the winter season
What happens to tree
• What was lush looks barren
• Leaves are gone
• What looked like a rich bouquet is now a lamp post
But Even though it can look bare
BUT there’s LIFE in the tree!
In fact, winter season is a good thing
• season of rest
• Preparation for spiring
There’s a Purpose of season
• Ecllesiastes
• To prepare you for the next season
• There is a purpose behind the season, if it’s short circuited, it can be disastorous.
Ex: Premature spring -- freeze your buds off.
• foundational to launching us into our destiny.
Also interesting, Seasons doesn’t start by the calendar
• It starts when it it’s ready to start and finishes when it has accomplished what it was intended to accomplish.
(I want to walk in the FULLNESS of time -- not premature~/late)
There are things that are AWESOME about every season -- including winter
There are things that I LOVE about winter:
• I love snow --
• FIRST snow is always the best
• Aren’t you glad God created snow?
Could have been ice-cubes.
DON’T like extended snow
• It wears on you
• Snow in March or April is a real bummer.
Doesn’t mean we don’t need grace within winter
• Smudge Pots
• Need to light your Holy Spirit smudge pots
• Body of Christ needs to be a safe place for people in winter.
So how does winter work in our lives?
*1.
It EXPOSES What’s ALREADY THERE.*
• Leaves gone on tree
• When it’s bald . . . .
.
• See the structure of the tree clearly
• See the 'holes’ where the branches aren’t quite strong enough
• See the tangled places that overlap and need to be pruned
• See things hidden in summber by leaves
Relationships are a place that become exposed
Relationally
• Husband~/Wife --- Honeymoon over -- toilet paper roll
• People you work with
• Ministry Relationship
~* Outreaches situations: That person didn’t rinse toothpaste out of sink.
They testify all God’s done -- witness like a maniac -- pray the paint off the side of a barn -- yet don’t rinse sink.
Hypocrites -- How can they minister?
• Folks -- I don’t mbean to burst you bubble -- we all have feet of clay.
• Turn neighbor, “I got dirt feet!”
• We ALL do!
• Over years in ministry -- had ministry heroes -- incredible men and women of God.
Got close to many -- all got feet of clay.
WE ALL DO!
• We’re HUMAN -- that’s how life works.
• Winter just exposes what’s already been there
*II Winter shows us new places where God wants to heal us and set us free*
Winter will expose things in your personal life
• Layers of healing -- God peels back new layer -- WHAT? That’s there?!?
• See areas where there are holes
• Things that you managed all by yourself, become obvious
• LORD!
This is an emergency!
You need to come down here right now and fix this.
I just discovered . . .
.
• As if God didn’t already know?
• It’s merely sesason for next level of healing.
SHOCK!
!
!
!
!
• Hole in branches -- relationships
• Panic: turn on one another
That 'hole’ was there all along -- leaves just covered it up
Is 8:12-14a "Do not call conspiracy everything that these people call conspiracy; do not fear wht they fear dn do not dread it.
The Lord Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy, He is the one you are to fear, He is the one you are to dread, and HE will be a SANCTUARY” NIV
False conspiracy strategy of enemy --
• Relat
• Parenting -- overreact -- rebellion --
• Teacher -- Gault
When strutural needs -- holes in relationship -0- deficits in our lives revealed . . .
