Isaiah 61

"TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS"

The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”

 

And they shall rebuild the old ruins,
They shall raise up the former desolations,

And they shall repair the ruined cities,
The desolations of many generations.

 

We are God's trees in the garden of the Lord, planted by the Lord Himself. In His Name we bring the oil of joy, for those who mourn, praise to those who have a heavy spirit, and who have grown weary in their walk of faith.

 

Distracted, these brothers put aside for trivial things, the higher call to rebuild the ruins of cities. The call to restore and rebuild the desolations of many generations, where demons have succeeded in destroying the testimony of families.

 

Called trees of righteousness, planted for a purpose and a plan, for a specific time and place. So, why do these brothers fail, and get lost in the forest of distractions. The answer is found in John chapter 15.

 

 

The True Vine

JOHN  15  “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.  You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.   Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.  If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.  By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

BeyondTheVeil  would humbly suggest the answer is  found  in  the  failure  to abide, to  live a life that proclaims Christ as home, and glorifies The Father.  This  life refuses  to live without  the  anointed  sap,  that  flows only  from  the "True Vine." This brother,  will  never  have  the   need   to  declare who  they are in Christ, or who their Father is; because they  will be  bearers of the fruit for which He  pruned  them; and sent them, into the generation they now find themselves, as His; "Trees of Righteous!"
