I have written a lot these last few days about my experience with cutting down one dead Ash tree that would not be felled until a prayer was said. These words I have shared with you have been a sum total of all that I have experienced on that day and all that I have been silently shown by our LORD within my mind concerning the tree since the actual event took place.
I have written a lot of words to share with you this sign to me from God. This sign was/is a gift from God. A gift that has stopped me in my tracts and caused me to dramatically change directions with my life.. It has been very traumatic for me. I have thought of little else everyday for over 5 + years. But the tree itself is not really the point of this blog. Even though the amount of writing I have done may lead you to believe the tree is THE important part of my story. Or even THE most important part of my life. I assure you it is not. I am not focused on the Tree at this time for any other reason except to share the gift God gave me – with you.
My desire, is for you who are interested in God and His Son Jesus Christ is to read my witness. To read my report. I want to help you develop your interest, to encourage you to move forward and join me in the Kingdom of God. If your faith is weak, I want to help you find strength to keep moving toward God. The second best way I know how to do this is to share my testimony with you. But the best way for you to move forward to God is to study your Bible scripture. You keep looking for God, it is important that you do because God is watching to see if you are interested in Him. (Please read: Exodus 3:4)
Just to let you know, I have no desire to create a new religion based upon the tree event. No new denomination is forthcoming. I have no desire to build a church. I wouldn’t even set up a stone alter on the tree site if I could. I have not heard any special instructions from our LORD and have no special insights that would lead me to believe He wants another church.. The tree was the silent testimony from God to me telling me He is real. The tree was for me and me alone. We, in Christian circles call this gift from God as being His gift of Grace. As I understand it, it is impossible to become a Christian without receiving Grace from God. Christians receive His gift of Grace in many ways, the Tree is just the way I received it.
And one more final word for tonight. I am receiving no financial reward for this blog. No compensation. It is not being written for money.
