What is the walk of Grace and SUPPLICATION?

Two Pine tree’s

I want to begin this chapter with a parable that God gave me in the desert of my hometown of Nevada. This story came to me while I was walking out here in Panther Valley area, and I took these pictures with my camera. ^xx And God showed me two trees. I am not saying that I am a prophet. So, this is a prophetic story that came from the Holy Spirit.

Figure 1

Once in the desert of the Great Basin of Nevada were the freshened climate seldom gave rain to the hostile soil. God one day looked down, and he saw there was a little lonely Ponderosa pine tree he had planted. The tree was planted out in the middle of the desert, which it was on top of a lonely hill.  It started as exceedingly small tree, and every time the tree needed water. It would stretch out its little branches to the heaven. And God would smile down on the small tree and give it rain. The tree would please God so much by raising its branches to the heaven. The tree stretched branches to be excessively tall on the hill. The tree knew it had to depend on God, and it gave him the praise.

The many times the little tree would cry out for the rains from heavens shower. Because, God knew it would die of drought, and he sent the rains to water the tree. So, the tree grew and grew for many years. Little by little the pine tree grew bigger and bigger. The tree grew and grew for many years. Little by little the pine trees branches pushed toward the heavens to receive the blessings from blissful streams.

As the tree began to grow in the warm Nevada sun. It would think how big and beautiful it was getting. And it would think of how much God really loved it. Because, it was the only living plant around for miles.  However, the tree began to get lonely. Then, God by his mercy allowed another tree to grow up beside the larger tree.

Soon both trees grew up together with the first one. Until the larger tree did not want to remember how it got there in the beginning. It began to want more of the rain and space to grow. So, it began to suck all the moister from the smaller tree. Thus, both trees began to strive for the water.

Soon both trees grew to be exceptionally large. Even when other baby trees tried to grow. The two large trees killed off the baby trees. Instead of allowing God to grow a forest as he planned in the beginning. The two stronger trees only grew. Both trees got bigger and bigger pushing at each other. Until, they grew further and further apart. When the rain would come, and they would take all the water for themselves. The ground got very dry because the trees striving against each other. There were no other trees to hold the water.

So, God looking down at the two foolish trees, and he sent a drought in the desert. And no rain came for seven years, and as the ground dried up from drought. The two foolish trees dried up and died.

One very frigid winter a local farmer needing firewood. He saw the two dead trees and chopped them both down, and as he chopped the two dead trees down some of the pinecones fell to the ground, which the pinecones spread seeds to the ground. Even as the farmer dragged the trees off hundreds of the seeds fell to the ground.  As for the two trees, the farmer left nothing, but the stumps in the cold dry ground.

After the seven years of drought God sent rain to dried drought straitened ground. Moreover, in the distance while the years past I saw over the cliff from the two stumps another pine tree grew. And from that tree grew the forest that God want on the desert hill.

The moral of this parable can be found in Amos 8:11-13, which reads: “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.”

“Thus, shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.” (Jeremiah 45:4)

Please, remember this scripture I have wrote above, and now the meaning of the parable. The parable has mentions the famous Ponderosa Pine tree, which this pine tree is of the Pinaceae (pine family) are trees or shrubs, including many of the well-known conifers of commercial importance such as cedars, firs, hemlocks, larches, pines and spruces.^[1] “The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted…”[2] The Spirit of God has made his reflective mention of who his trees are in this parable. But I have several question to ask those believer that may not think this parable is from God.

Why has this famine come to the world? Isn’t the Bible being printed? Isn’t is being read by millions all over the world? Yes, but the word is not being interrupted correctly. As Elijah asked the Children of Israel, “How long are you limping over two opinions?”  [3]

Like the two tree there are two opinions with many branches on those trees. We have more than four hundred and eighty-five since 1990. However, now in 2018, we have 1052 different denominations, doctrines, and traditions of Christianity. We are warring with each other like these two trees warred. This is not how are body should be acting in the world. We are not all Catholic or Protestant, but one body that believes in Jesus Christ. We should be preaching nothing but Jesus Christ and him crucified. Along with Christ baptism of the Holy Spirit, which this baptism is both water and Spirit. This doctrine is the true meaning of the doctrine of Christ about baptism

As Paul wrote to the Corinthians. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and us your servants for Jesus’ sake.” Why are we about so many opinions? If the word of Christ has defined God, the Father then serve him? Moreover, if the Word of God hasn’t defined who that he is the true God of all gods. Then, we should serve our selves. Not so, if God is true then everyman is a liar. [4]
