A great oak tree stretched out its branches as I looked in the spirit and saw, sitting in its shade, Deborah – prophet and judge. I asked the Holy Spirit why was she not under a palm tree like in Scripture [Judges 4:4-5],
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 She used to sit [to hear and decide disputes] under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment.
Judges 4:4-5 (AMP)
…and the Lord answered:
“In this season there is a need for a bigger tree to unite the generations underneath. I call into place the Deborahs, the spiritual fathers and mothers, the ones who are inclined to mentor and raise the younger ones.
Rise up! Rise up, I say. Widen your vision. Ask Me for the next generation like Abraham did, and I will show you what I am about to do. See the new generations standing on your shoulders. Be the one who is willing to look beyond themselves to those coming behind.”
This is not a time to build just for yourself. Build beyond yourself. Don’t just focus on your little garden. Look from an eternity perspective. Ask the Lord for divine wisdom. Allow Him to give you His mind – the mind of Christ – and show you the plan He has for the next generation, and the next, and the next.”
And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “Look now toward the heavens and count the stars—if you are able to count them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be.”
Genesis 15:5 (AMP)
