DRYING UP TREES


READ: ISAIAH 39:6-8
Today believers appear not to appreciate the power of God in them. One day, Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem, hungry. Then He saw a fig tree with much leaves so He went there hoping to eat of its fruit He was disappointed seeing no fruit. As a result, He cursed the tree and it dried up (Matthew 21:18-20).
Our passage today says, All flesh is grass. In prophetic parlance, trees may suggest human beings. A tree has the ability to reproduce its kind through its fruits. There are good trees. Believers are compared to trees planted by the rivers of water (Psalm 1:3). There also evil trees. The Lord does not expect us to leave evil trees but to uproot and dry them up with our faith.
“And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this sycamine tree, Be you plucked up by the root, and be you planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” (Luke 17:6).   
“But He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.” (Matthew 15:13).
This year every satanic tree planted in your life will dry up to its roots and be cut down in Jesus name. Arise in faith and begin to command every evil tree of familiar spirit operation in your life and family to wither like grass in the field. Begin to uproot every negative plant in your life and business. The truth is that if you are content with the presence of wicked oppressors in your life, it will remain so. For whatsoever you allow shall be allowed. But if you disallow them, it will show in your actions. Jesus did not tolerate that tree. Do not tolerate witches to live with you. If God has clearly revealed that your ward, house help or relative living with you is a witch and they would not yield to deliverance, send them away immediately. Any evil tree you allow will produce several others. What you allow will multiply. What you disallow is on its way to extinction. Are there trees of bitterness, envy and malice in your heart? Take it down today. You can determine what fruit to eat from. The choice is yours.   
MEMORIZE: MATTHEW 15:13 –But He answered and said, Every plant, which My heavenly Father has not planted, shall be rooted up.
