FEELING SAPPY

The trees of the Lord are full of sap."



Without sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist.


Psalm 104:16 (Amplified Bible) The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly and are filled with sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He has planted.


Energy and strength are vital to the Christian life. That energy can only come from the Holy Spirit. He is the Sap in our tree! As Christians we cannot appear to the world as dead trees with no foliage, no leaves, no fruit because the most alive creative force lives within us. Our roots go deep searching for water and nourishment. We are planted by the lord and our roots and life are in him. We are not always bearing fruit but there are always something going on inwardly -things others can't see.
It is because of the sap the tree can produce foliage and fruit.



How do we get sappy! We need the juice.. Juice of the Holy Spirit!


Be careful and take care that you do not easily take offence.


In contending for revival we should be seeking an anointing like that which was on Jesus. One of the things that will stop the flow of the anointing is 'offence'. Even Jesus, anointed as he was, could not do miracles in another when offence blocked the flow. Unforgiveness also blocks the flow of the anointing. We need to live daily in repentance and forgiveness. We need to keep short accounts. In order to get that sap running again we need to start praying for it; and while you praying for it, deny yourself by fasting! Suddenly you will experience the flowing of the sap, the anointing, it will be flowing again! ~ powerful!


Make me sappy Lord! And the Lord says,” Bring me your sacrifice and come to the Laver and wash"




He desires to fill us at the Cross!
