There is a mysterious weapon we hardly use, which many of us need to use effectively in spiritual battle, this weapon is the tree.
The tree can fight for you and its leaves can be an effective weapon in your hand. But it is unfortunate that the enemy has taken and counterfeited them to fight against us.
Then comes the word of Hosea that God's people are destroyed as a result of their ignorance.
The devil used the tree to continue the confusion started in the Garden of Eden. When man was in the Garden of Eden, he fell by the tree, and when he was redeemed at Calvary it was by the tree.
The power of darkness recognizes the fact that the tree lives much longer than man, much longer than its planter.
Therefore, satan makes The trees the habitation of familiar spirits. They live inside trees for years.
The enemy has made trees his warehouses. Inside trees are hidden virtues of so many people. Inside many trees in our environment the enemy has kept several virtues.
I decree that every of your goods kept inside the tree, to come out to you now!in the mighty name of Jesu.
The enemy uses the trees as abodes for evil birds. The power of evil uses trees to poison the food of men. Pecking on the fruits.
The origin of the tree is the earth. There is a connection between the tree and the earth and between the tree and the bird. That is why those who are involved in wood business should be prayerful because they could be troubled by the spirits that reside inside the wood.
You see an ‘Iroko’ tree, for example, and you cut it down to get wood for furniture. Do not forget that you have rendered some demons homeless by cutting down their place of abode. Be informed that these demons may gather to fight someone.
“SOLDIER TREES"
In 2 Samuel 18:8. For the battle there was scattered over the face of the whole countryside, and the woods devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
we read about a serious battle that David fought. I would not know the kind of prayer David prayed, but this man was very knowledgeable in spiritual warfare. All of a sudden the enemy came against him in the battle and in response to his prayer the trees rose up to fight on his behalf.
The trees turned to soldiers and fought against his enemies. The Bible does not want us to show any kind of mercy to our enemies in spiritual battle. We should use every weapon at our disposal. The same word used whenever the sword was used to kill in battle was used for the trees that devoured the enemies of David.
“That is to say that the forest and the sword did the same thing. They devour. They are both killers. Herein is a great mystery that many of us fail to employ. Like the sword, the forest was also involved in battle.
That is, in the hands of a supernatural force, the forest becomes a weapon. Note, beloved, that when trees start fighting on your behalf, your enemy will be in great trouble.
Declare this Prayers: Raise up your cane/rod...say I employ by grace, rise as a sword against my enemies in Jesus name.
When David's battle began, he pleaded with the soldiers not to kill Absalom his son, but rather, let him be caught alive. The trees heard David's instruction although he did not direct it to them. So, instead of the trees devouring Absalom, they got him arrested. One way or the other the trees heard David and they yielded to his instruction.
2 Samuel 18:9. Then Absalom met the servants of David. Absalom rode on a mule. The mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between heaven and earth. And the mule which was under him went on.
I decree my enemy to be hanged by tree today in Jesus name
(It was unfortunate that Joab, the captain of David's forces, thrust three darts into the heart of Absalom and eventually killed him, contrary to the king's instruction. If David had not instructed that Absalom be arrested and not killed, the trees would not have got him caught on the oak, but would have" rather killed him.)
Release of Israel from slavery: Exodus 7 vs. 1 – And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Exodus 7:10-12. So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the Lord commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments. For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Prayer Point: Command your rod to, swallow up dark powers assigned against you in Jesus name. Just as the Rod of Aaron, swallowed up serpents troubling my dream life in Jesus name.
Israel worked through the sea: Exodus 14:15-16. And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. Exodus 14:22. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
The Lord God will fight for you tonight: Isaiah 34:5-6 “For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment. The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the Lord has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
Who are the Edomites: —— the Edomites...Edom was a son to Esau and Edomites and Israelites lived in almost perpetual conflict. Edom refused to allow the Israelites to pass through their territory en route to the Promised Land (Numbers 11:14-17). They fought with King Solomon (1 Kings 11:14-25), opposed King Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles 20:22), and rebelled against King Jehoram (2 Chronicles 21:8).
Let's consider some glaring factors:
There are spirits that dwell inside and among trees. You may say that this statement is unfounded but when the battle is very fierce and you start using trees as weapons then you will realize how effective such weapons can be.
“2) There are forest demons and many people are controlled by them.
(3) Everything in nature could be involved in fighting God's battle. Judges 5:20 records how the stars of heaven fought on the side of God's people. It was also reported that in a battle during the time of Joshua the sky rained hailstones to confound his enemies. And the people killed by the hailstones outnumbered those killed by the soldiers.
(4) God has military bases on land, in the forest and at sea. He could fire every form of deadly missile from any of these places to the enemies.
You might have read of Sodom. God rained sulphur on it from heaven. “5) The trees can become devouring regiments. If you ask them to fight for you, they will enter into battle against your enemies.
Pharaoh could not forget how toads and frogs, flies and lice, land and water became combatant soldiers of God.
Jonah will tell you the story about God's ‘submarine’ in the sea. Therefore let it be clear to you that there are very many weapons in God's armoury that we are yet to put into use.
As we key into God's move in this end time, the enemy is in big surprise, because God's soldiers continue to bring out new and strange weapons they have never used before to put the enemy to flight.
“When the trees start to fight for you, every witchcraft fighting you is in trouble. By your prayers, you can kill trees that witchcraft powers are using against you; all the make-up of other trees will arise for you and fight on your behalf.
GOD'S TREES
When trees fight for you, the covenant the enemy made on your behalf will be disgraced.
When trees fight for you conspiracy against you, will be quenched and the wind of adversity will blow against your enemy.
The tree at Owo and Agege testimony I remember a story about the great Apostle Ayo Babalola. He was once invited to the palace of a king. The king started to showcase his evil powers by demonstrating “the demonic antics before the apostle. Apostle Babalola was not impressed, just as David was not impressed by all the noise Goliath was making. After the king had displayed his power, the man of God prayed a simple prayer: “Oh God of Elijah, visit this evil: consume evil powers of this town with your hands of violence.” That was the prayer.
Immediately, there was great thunder that went straight to a big tree in the market and burnt it to ashes. And that was 'how revival broke out in that land. The evil power controlling that town was right inside that particular tree at the market centre. When the apostle prayed that simple prayer, the God of Elijah answered with thunder.
“There are many people that when they want to move forward they go backward. Anything they try goes backward. There are people that anytime they want to do something good, a certain evil thing will happen to them. There are many people that household witchcraft boasts against, that there is nothing they can do or become.
“If you know that there are stubborn spirits fighting against you and you know that the battle is in collaboration with witches and wizards, ask trees to fight against them. If they turn to birds and fly they are in trouble.
If they gather on trees to hold meetings they will be consumed. 2 Samuel 18:8-12: For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured. And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between “the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away. And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak. And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle. And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom. What happened after the king's instruction? They eventually “killed Absalom. What is the focus of our attention in this passage? It is the weapon of trees that has power to devour.
