In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the Desert of
Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”
This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: “A
voice of one calling in the desert, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”
John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather
belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the

whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were
baptized by him in the Jordan River. But when he saw many of
the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing,
he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to
flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with
repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We
have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones

 The Fall of Great Trees
I had a vision as I was in prayer. In this vision I saw this mighty tree. It looked as though it had flourished for years
and years. It stood out and was absolutely beautiful. The colors on the leaves were magnificent; bright and bold. I
could see some fruit on it but I was more taken by its beauty.
Then all of the sudden I saw men come against this tree with ax
in hand. Then at that very moment I saw them vanish. For only
a moment the tree stood with no signs of any visible markings.
It seemed as though its attackers had failed, only beating it
with dull blades. I then heard a cracking sound, louder than I
had ever heard before. It got louder and louder, and I could see
this mighty tree begin to break, splitting into what seemed a
thousand pieces. Then suddenly the sound of a large crash as it
hit the ground. That beautiful tree that had flourished and was
wrapped in colors that only nature could attain, had fallen to the
ground, torn completely from its base.
The vision continued and my view expanded and I saw the
field where these trees were and God said, “Look around, what
do you see?” I looked and I saw before me a field of trees just
like the one I saw laying on the ground. Some even falling at that
very moment. A field of fallen trees.
In this field I also saw smaller trees that looked as though
they might have struggled for survival. They were not as large
and did not have the brightest colors, but they remained
standing. Branches were missing off of them and in some
areas there were bare spots with patches of leaves missing.
Unattractive compared to the great mighty trees that now laid
on the ground.
As I continued to look, I could see the great trees that were
laying on the ground began to rot and began to be eaten away
by insects and worms. All I could do was just stand there and
watch, heart broken. At that very moment as I stood there a
large burst of light which I know was the glory of God exploded
throughout the field. When the light came to the trees that had
fallen to the ground they bursted into flames but when the light
reached the smaller trees I saw their true form revealed. They
were more massive than that of the great fallen trees. Their
colors bolder and brighter. Their branches and leaves healthier
and more colorful. And their fruit outnumbered that of the great
fallen trees… End of vision.
This is what I believe God is saying about the vision and the trees
that are in it.…
To the Church in Sardis (The Great Trees) Revelation 3:1-6
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words
of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I
know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you
are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to
die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my
God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard;
obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like
a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their
clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are
worthy. He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white.
I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will
acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. He who
has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
“I see your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive,
but you are dead.” These Great Trees have been puffed up with
pride and their own accomplishment. They get self gratification
out of their “good deeds”. Their “good deeds” have made them
look good towards others and now they are addicted to their
beauty. Because of this, these Great Trees have become fake to
all those around them. They can’t afford to lose face because if
they do they lose their reputation. Now their beauty overwhelms
their fruit baring. These Great Trees have not only become a high
standard, they have set high standards to all those around them.
They say to others, “We are alive and great!”
“Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to
die.” Look and see what is happening. You are on the verge of
collapse. Great Trees, you are getting ready to fall. Strengthen
yourselves, repent and obey God so that you do not fall in the
coming days ahead. Your beauty is not dependent on how others
see you or the crown they put on your head, but it is dependent
on how God sees you and what matters is the crown he puts on
your head.
To the Church in Philadelphia (The Weaker Trees) Revelation 3:7-13
denied or been ashamed of the name of Jesus even at the cost of
their own reputation. They knew what was more important.
“I will make them come and fall down at your feet and
acknowledge that I have loved you.” God will reveal who
they truly are, and those Great Trees who have fallen will
acknowledge the love God has for them. Their true beauty will
be revealed and no more will these Great Trees look upon their
weakness, but instead they will see their strength and the God of
Heaven who has been with them.
“Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I
will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come
upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. I am
coming soon.” In their standing, they waited patiently. They
endured the hardships. They continued to grow regardless
of their surroundings. So I am telling you, those who are the
weaker trees, God is suppling your needs. He is your source in
everything. Endure the hardships, proclaim his name without any
shame and God will reveal your true beauty to the entire world.
Those great trees who he makes fall will do so at your feet and
will acknowledge the love God has for you.

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the
words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David.
What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can
open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open
door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength,
yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will
make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be
Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come
and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved
you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will
also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon
the whole world to test those who live on the earth. I am coming
soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your
crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple
of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the
name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new
Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God;
and I will also write on him my new name. He who has an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
“I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word
and have not denied my name.” Those who look to be the weaker
trees have stood strong. They have overcome the storms. Their
battle wounds tell the story of their fight to stay alive. And yes…
despite their appearance they are truly alive. They have not
