Chopping Down Trees
Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
The evangelist is looked at as one that comes in and chops down all of the trees and the pastor is left to pick up the pieces. If the pastors would preach what is needed to be said then there would be less wood to pick up.
I woke up this morning and the Lord laid it on me to speak about trees and how they are similar to people.
I went and studied on trees and I was amazed at how similar mankind is to trees.
Years ago when I was a youth pastor in the Assemblies of God. I was worshipping in church and I had been seeking the Lord and His will. All of the sudden I felt an overwhelming urge like a title wave come over me and I cried out the Lord is Holy and He is seated on His throne and worthy to be praised! I cried out weeping and grieved because the Lord was showing me that He is wanting His people to worship Him and acknowledge Him, but the church was so dead and just operating in a systematic form as a majority of the churches operating today.
There is no power of God moving in the churches because it is Ichabod! There is compromise and division and the Sheppard has scattered the sheep and the wolves have come in disguised as sheep and there is no power of God!
God will not and cannot compromise as His so called people do!
Sin is sin and sin is against God!
After I had this cry out of the Holy Ghost in the church I had a conversation with my pastor and he said to me.
“Dan the evangelist comes into the church and chops down all of the trees and then he leaves and the pastor is left to pick up the pieces”
Ezekiel 3:18-21 18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
The Lord has called us to warn those who continue to transgress without regarding the consequences.
Luke 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
God has the power to sentence you to an everlasting! Why because He is righteous and he requires righteousness, and the only way to attain righteousness is through the Blood of Jesus Christ!
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Jesus Christ paid the price at the cross 2000 years ago and we are in debt to Him with our lives.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
You are to be sold out for Jesus Christ and denying yourself the things of this world that hinder you in your walk with the Lord!
Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
The axe must be sharp and it must be swift. The axe must be true and the lumber jack for your soul must be willing to love the congregation enough to speak the truth so that the hearer
