Testimony
I was asking the Lord what he wanted to say to the church, and I saw a vision. It was of a desert, but the sand was perfect — you could see the contours and the waves of it. I thought, "That doesn't make sense, a desert is dry" — but as I looked over to my right there was a tree, the most beautiful tree you could ever see. I felt the Lord saying that if there's a season in your life where everything feels dry, where you feel nothing is moving and nothing is right, come to the tree of life — where there is nourishment, peace and fulfilment for your soul. If you're halfway through the year thinking, "Lord, everything feels dry, nothing's really happening," go to the source of life, which is the Lord himself, and he will nourish and fulfil you.
And following on from what was shared earlier about a dying father, and about our family members who are lost — the Lord has really been laying the lost on my heart, whether family or people we've never met. May I encourage you to press in and pray for the lost. Even in my own family there are people near the end of their lives who don't know the Lord. So many people have brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers far from God who will one day take their last breath without him. Please pray for the lost — even those you don't know — and go to the tree of life, where there is healing and nourishment for your soul.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

What did the Lord say to you while reading this — and what will you do about it before the week is out?
