Brother Earl, I don't know what this means, but I saw it over
here. I saw.
I'm just going to tell you what I saw.
I saw a big tree. I saw the roots going down deep.
And then I looked up and a strong trunk and I saw the
ranches go out, forking everywhere as So what does that
mean, Lord? And he said, you've taken time
to lay the foundation and you've this roots here and roots here
and roots here. Strong foundation becoming a
time when these branches double go out and even some have shot
begin to shoot for it. But there'll be a mighty tree of
things that are going to go far beyond what you think and what
you've been planning. So lift your eyes and begin to
receive. For surely the Lord has has
plans that are far beyond what you've been thinking.
And yes, you've been doing good. You've been doing good, for you
have thought the best that you knew.
But surely in the days to come I shall unveil and I shall bring
forth, and I shall show you a path that you have not
considered. And I shall show you strategies
that tell you that enable you to reach over here and over here
and up here and down here and in these directions, in this
direction, in that direction. And you shall find.
You shall find that as you listen.
It shall come forth, it shall come forth.
And you shall know. You shall know that it was not
you, but it was the Holy Ghost that came upon you and showed
you. For surely he will open your
eyes and you'll begin to see and begin to know.
Yeah, the thing to do, this to do, that to do.
She'll show you. March 4th here.
So. So you go over here, and you
shall move and March in the tube of my spirit, says the Lord.
And you shall show for the goodness of God.
This is a very overwhelming prophecy.
There's so much to unpack I can't even begin.
I don't even really know how to start.
I do know the foundation is laid.
I do know our roots are strong. I have found concerning the oak
tree, for the Bible tells us in Isaiah 61 verse three that there
is a thing called oaks of righteousness.
I'll read this chapter in its entirety in just a moment, but
oaks are known as a symbol of safety, strength and resilience.
They're famous for their deep and Hardy roots.
That's why oaks, especially live oaks, and we're used to them
here in our part of the country. They have staying power.
In fact, the oldest ship that is still afloat is the USS
Constitution that was launched in 1797.
Its nickname is our Old Ironside, and that's because in
the War of 1812, its hole, which the beams, because of how the
branches, they were great to build, The hole was so strong
that it could handle the British's cannonballs.
Another interesting fact about the Live Oak is that it's not so
much that it grows tall, although it does grow tall.
Not like redwoods in California that goes anywhere from 60 to 80
feet, but it grows wider than it does tall.
It expands further, in fact. The top of it's called the Crown
and its branches go out. In fact, a professor from Duke
University who has studied oaks most of his life said that the
Live Oak was very broad, which made it biomechanically able to
handle any type of wind conditions.
It is known to save lives of people from hurricanes that they
would tie themselves to the limbs when a hurricane came
through, that not even hurricane force winds would move them.
Because if you don't trim them, their branches will extend out
even further than their height, begin to hit the ground, take
another route, so it's size. When the winds, then the worst
winds come, it just blows right through the tree and it's able
to stand. And the Lord saw this root
system in this trunk, but then branches that extended out.
And if you listen to the prophecy, I remember the first
time I heard it. The second time I was like, what
can't I do? You can go here and you'll go
there. And you'll move over here.
You'll move here. You'll March forth here.
You'll March there. And I'm like the Lord never said
I couldn't do something. All that was required is listen.
But you understand I'm not every branch.
I'm just one. Which means there's a work in
these last days that you're going to have to find out what
branch you're on, because living like you live is got to change
so that you can produce the fruit off your branch, as God
intended you to. Let me read this passage of
scripture in Isaiah 61. It will tie the two prophecies
together. It's very powerful, Says the
Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the afflicted.
Hallelujah. Does this sound familiar?
He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, To proclaim
liberty to the captives and freedom to prisoners.
To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, the day and the day
of vigilance of our God. To comfort all who mourn.
To grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a Garland
instead of ashes, the oil of gladness, instead of mourning
the mantle of praise instead of a mantle of fainting, so that
they will be called oaks of righteousness.
The planting of the Lord, that he, that he, that he, that he
that he may be glorified. And because of that look at
verse four then then they will rebuild the ancient ruins.
Then Jesus said in Luke chapter 4 starting in verse 16 when he
came into the synagogue, they gave him the book of Isaiah and
he said the Spirit of the Lord is upon me for he has anointed
me. And he read the 1st 2 verses of
Isaiah and he says this scripture has been fulfilled
because Isaiah 61 is a combination of not only the
announcing of Jesus but also the ushering of his church.
Not just the Zion that will come, the New Jerusalem and
things that will take place even in that particular age, but the
time of the Church and that when he comes and preaches the gospel
and he binds up the broken hearted and all that he did,
then the church is going to be placed so that it can rebuild
the ruined places. And if some have already
testified, some of you are in ruins.
But the Church, I said, But the Church, the word of the Lord
came. You've already traded your
spirit of fainting into praise. You've already traded your
mourning into gladness. You've already traded your
ashes. Are you hearing me?
You've traded these things, First floor says.
Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins.
They will raise up the former devastation.
They will repair the ruined cities that the desolation of
many generations. Strangers will stand and pastor.
Your flocks and foreigners will be your farmers and your vine
dressers. But you will be called the
priest of the Lord. You will be spoken of as
ministers of our God. You will be called ministers of
our God. You will eat the wealth of the
nation. You know the wealth of the
wicked is laid up for the for the righteous, and in their
riches you will boast instead of your shame.
You will have a what? Double portion.
And instead of humiliation, you will have a shout for joy over
their portion. Therefore they will possess a
double portion in their land. Everlasting joy will be theirs.
In fact, at the end of the prophecy of 20 of the 2008 with
Kevin and Annie Durant, it's not seen on this video.
But Kevin Durant came by, spoke in front, was standing in front
of a Randy Clay at the time, but he said this word.
He said double. Now at the time, you know, we
were thinking something in context, but Randy represented
at that time specifically and he still does this in our church
with our businesses. You understand there's a double
portion coming. I said a double portion coming.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, he says. For I, the Lord love justice.
I hate robbery in the burnt offerings, and I will faithfully
give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant
with them. This is His church.
This is the church Jesus is building.
This is anchor faith, Church says.
Then their offspring will be known among the nations, and
their descendants in the midst of the people.
All who will see them will recognize them, because they are
the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
I will rejoice greatly in the Lord.
My soul will exalt in my God, for he has clothed me with the
garments of salvation. He has wrapped me with a robe of
righteousness, as a bridegroom decks herself himself with a
Garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Notice we are the bride of Christ.
We are His Church. We are we are the one whom He
loves. He is the head of the body and
man. Some of you know that your
children are where they would be if you had not broken the cycle
through the fact that you were born again, saved, you were
clothed and robed in righteousness.
Your life that you played out in front of your children now and
your grandchildren are transforming generations.
Some of your children have never experienced what you experienced
because you changed the bloodline.
Hallelujah, I said. You changed the bloodline, and
the change of that bloodline is to change in such a way so that
the things God has for you within the church can begin to
manifest. Because God needs us to reach.
And you know this, the Lord's returning.
He's coming back. He's coming back, and he's
coming back for a church that's without spot or wrinkle or
glorious church. He's coming back for a church
that loves one another, that cares for one another, that
walks in love, that won't put up with unrighteousness, that won't
put up with injustices, but will walk in the power and the plan
of God, God. They will put on salvation, they
will put on their robe, they will March at the voice of God,
and they will be a reach for him.
The next greatest move is the mature church, and we're on the
precipice of seeing these things come to pass.
Verse 11 says this for as the earth brings forth its sprouts
and as a garden calls this thing sown in it.
To what? To what?
Spring up so the Lord God will
cause righteousness and praise To what?
Spring up before all the nations, God said that we in
2008 spring up in me, Spring up in me.
What was springing up. It was the sprout of an oak and
it takes, it says, 75 years. It takes for an oak to reach
maturity, but what God can do to spiritual oak trees is
supernatural. Some of the oldest oak trees are
not. There's one that is known to be
about 1500 years old. Can you imagine that?
A 1500 year old tree and that thing it reaches, its branches
go further than where it started.
It just keeps moving out and it's heavy and big.
It is got weight to it. It's solid.
It's one of the woods that most carpenters love to work with
because of how Hardy it is. Are you hearing me?
And those branches just keep moving and reaching and crawling
and expanding and they're all over the place.
And the prophecy said, you'll go over here and go over there and
go over here and you'll March here and you'll go there and
you'll do this well, you understand I'm a branch, but I'm
not that many branches. And the Lord's like, my gosh,
son, you have no idea, for even said you've done good and you've
heard me say this I can dream I have a great imagination.
But the Lord said He will do exceedingly beyond all that.
You can think or, and he's told us you've done good, but I'm
going to give you some things you've never even considered.
There are things to be birthed. When I say birth, it's really
not a birthing as much as it is an extension.
There are things that are coming up out of us that we didn't even
know were there. It's going to require us to
seek. It's going to require us to
knock. It's going to require us to ask.
And then it'll require us to answer, to answer, to answer.
A call, a call that we may have never considered before.
But in doing so, it will call the Wealth of the Nations to
come. It will cause a double portion
to come. It will call your name to become
great, because God will bring people to you, because you will
only do one thing and one thing alone, and you'll honor the
Lord. You'll glorify him.
I would love to tell you I know exactly what's next, But as the
prophecy says, there's some things I haven't even considered
or thought about. So I'm in the process of
listening. And man, when I hear we're going
to say some things, which means you're going to have to hear,
and things have already started, We are reaching out in every
sector of society right now. There are things that we're
thinking about now, about transforming whole communities.
So there are Holy Ghost strategies, things that are on
the edge of us to be able to produce such fruit that it would
change your lives, change your lives forever.
In fact, I'm so confident in what's about to come that the
reason you're born, you're fixing to find out.
You're going to know the why. And it's not insignificant.
It's not insignificant. So I'm going to ask, Are you
ready to reach out beyond the places you thought you would
reach? Are you ready to get into the
places that you never even considered?
But once the call comes, you'll say that's me?
Yes, Lord, I'll do it. Because these branches, they're
mighty, they're strong and the storms of life cannot topple.
It Can't do it. I want to close with this
thought because there's some things I want to say next week.
In fact, I'm going to Do you like movies.
We're just going to stop and be like, what?
Is that it? Yep.
Come back next week to get the rest.
Are you hearing me? Come back next week to get the
rest. Jesus said the spirit of the
Lord quoting Isaiah 61, is upon me, for he has anointed me to
preach the gospel. What is the gospel?
In Mark chapter one verses 14 to 15 It says now after John had
been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the
gospel of God and saying the time is fulfilled.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the
gospel. What is the gospel?
It's the Kingdom Jesus said in four Matthew 423.
Jesus was going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom, and
healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among
the people. Matthew 935 Jesus was going
through all the city and villages, teaching in their in
their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the
Kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of
sickness. And he said in Matthew 2414,
this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world
as a testimony to all the nations.
And then the end will come. What is the gospel Jesus
preached? It was the Kingdom.
So that tells me then in Isaiah
the things that have come to those that are oaks of
righteousness, they're Kingdom people.
They know his Kingdom and God funds his Kingdom and God
provides for His Kingdom. And God causes the wealth of the
world to move towards His Kingdom for the sake to show
forth His glory for his name's sake and because we are oaks of
righteousness. You know what Hebrews 12/28
says. Let us therefore receive in a
Kingdom. The amplified says that is firm
and stable and cannot be shaken. The reason why we are the mighty
oak is because the waves and the winds cannot move us.
We are immovable because our king is undefeated.
We serve the risen King and we are His righteous children in
the earth. And God is going to be in the
greatest deployment ever of His Saints that are connected to His
church, that are attached to the trunk that has the root system
'cause if the branch remains in, there's nothing you can't
accomplish. It's the season for branches to
grow, to move, to have its purpose, to produce its fruit
like never before. It is your greatest season ever.
It's your greatest season, so much so that you will
perpetually go from a fruitful season, prune a little to the
next greater season of fruit because you remained in the
bond. You keep reaching, you keep
reaching, You keep reaching. And it'll be into that house and
into that house and into that neighborhood and into that
school and into that government building and into that home and
into that person and into that state and into that nation and
into that household and into that next place and into that
hospital. There's not a place that we will
not branch out and we will touch with the Kingdom of God.
It is the time for the Saints to arise and to move and to be
deployed like never before. Your greatest fruitful season is
upon you. Just answer the call when the
strategy comes, for it's time for the church to rise and the
Kingdom to conquer once and for all.
Amen. Glory to God.
Hallelujah, Father. We gladly move into the phase of
branches that will hear your voice by the Spirit.
And we're going to go there and we're going to go here and we're
going to touch that and we're going to reach here, we're going
to March there and we're going to go here.
And when we hear it, we won't say, we won't say, well, why
they going there and what are they doing over here and how
come they're doing that now? Because we know that you will
have spoken and we will move, and we will touch, and we will
stretch and we will reach and we will change every place that our
branches go into. For our branches cannot be
defeated. For we serve the risen king.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
Glory to God. Glory to God.
