VISIONS OF THE KING - Christ is The Tree of Life

by Tonja Taylor
4/08/2020 / Salvation

23 ..but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength. -- I Corinthians 1:23-25,Berean Study Bible

During this vision I had of the Tree of Life (while our New Year's Eve service continued into the early morning hours of the first day of the new year) our Pastor mentioned (from what I remember) that we were like trees, tapping into the water.

I know he meant the Water of Life--the Spirit of God; the LORD Jesus Christ Himself!

My vision was of my husband and myself, melded as one tree, with our daughter (then about 15) fused into us. She was in the middle of us, surrounded by us, protected and guarded by us.

The tree that we were was not a giant oak (although the Word calls us "oaks of righteousness" in
Isaiah 61:3). However, it was like the giant tree I saw in Florida in 1998. It was reported to be 1000 years old and mammoth and solid and thick--looking like a baobab tree.

In the vision, we were--and are--a type of the Tree of Life, for we are one with Jesus when we receive Him as Savior and LORD. He, the Tree of Life Himself, is in us because we have believed in Him.

As huge as the tree was, Jesus is bigger. He is the Tree of Life, for He is Wisdom, and the Word says in Proverbs 3:18 that "Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly."

If you have not been born again and want to receive Christ Jesus as your Savior, LORD, and Best Friend forever, please say this prayer out loud:

Dear Jesus, I acknowledge and say that You alone are LORD and God. I thank You for dying for me on the cross by shedding all of Your blood to pay the terrible debt of all my sins. I ask You to please forgive me and come into my heart and be my Savior and LORD and Best Friend Forever.

I renounce satan and all of his works in my life, forever.

I receive You and ask You to help me know You and walk in Your ways. I thank You that in this new life in which I follow You, I will go to be with You in Heaven when this body dies. Thank You so much! In Your Name, amen!

Now, if you just said that prayer and meant it, you are truly born again! God is now your loving Father (I John 3:1).

Jesus is your Brother and Good Shepherd, Who will always be with you and will lead you in right paths. Also, the angels are having a party to celebrate your most excellent decision (Luke 15:7)!

He will never leave you nor forsake you! Hebrews 13:5!

Your spirit has been translated from the temporary kingdom of darkness into the eternal Kingdom of Light of God's dear Son, King Jesus (Colossians 1:13,14)!

It is a rebirthing of your spirit! Now, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, Who is Jesus Himself, will work with you daily to help you understand how to become more like Him, so that others can experience Him through you! (That, my friend, is why we are still on the planet--to either be drawn by the LORD to be saved (born again), or to be examples of Christ Jesus to others, so they will be drawn to receive Him!)

Now, ask the LORD to show you the right church body for you to become part of--one that believes the whole Bible!

God's Word is His Love Letter to you! So cool!

As Him for the right Bible(s) to study. Remember there are multiple versions and languages of the Bible online to use! He will help you quickly find the one(s) that speak the strongest to you.

Ask Him to lead you to good worship music--there are several online that play praise and worship 24/7, and there are worship apps as well, that you can put on your phone. This includes Christian podcasts, humor, and more!

Ask Him to help you pray more; prayer is, at its root, simply communicating to God, out loud, or in your heart. Even dancing and singing and signing with your hands to the LORD can be a type of prayer. Remember, the deepest, truest part of Christianity is relationship with the LORD!

He wants to have an intimate, very special, very unique relationship with you that He will have with no other on the planet, Christian or not!

How truly awesome (a word I can only use for God!) is that!!!

He will help you--for His Spirit is the Helper Who is with you now, forever, so hold your head up. It doesn't matter about the past--only the wonderful present and glorious future!

Also, if your present doesn't seem so wonderful, just know for sure that you have taken the most monumental, very important step you could ever take in the right direction! God will cause you the righteous to triumph in every situation, as you get to know Him, follow His Word, and realize His plans for you are all and always good (Jeremiah 29:11)!

¹¹For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.--Jeremiah 29:11, AMPC

Now, relax in the faithful love of God (I John 4:8), and know that He is with you forever, helping you to have the best life possible! Amen and Amen!

Tonja and her husband live to exalt God. They lift Him up in books (P.O.W.E.R. Girl!; LEGACY; Visions of the King; Your Holy Health; more); presentations; service in church, community, and the world; and via the "River Rain Creative" (309 videos) and "POWERLight Learning" You Tube channels.
