Prophetic Word
"But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation."
(1 Cor 14:3)
Turn to Me and know that I am here for you. I always welcome you.Tell me your secrets, your hopes and fears. Unload the struggles and then listen for My word. Partner with Me by speaking what I say. Let us come to agreement and declare the end from the beginning.
You only see and understand in part. Trust in My goodness and in My ability to bring change to your circumstances. In every struggle, I work to mature you, to purify you. My Spirit leads you into all truth.
Never doubt My love for you. It is eternal.
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Rom 8:38-39) |

Seasons of Change
"To every thing there is a season, and a time
to every purpose under heaven." (Eccl. 3:1)
Just as the earth experiences the change of seasons, so do we,
spiritually speaking.
In the spring of our walk with the Lord, everything is fresh and alive.
We were born again into spring, as spring lambs, to whom every day is warm
sunshine in the love of God, and refreshing showers of joy in the Holy Spirit.
Life is exciting and couldn't be better! Then the seasons begin to change and
summer appears. It is a time of much work and the promise of harvest. The days
are long and glorious. We begin to mature and gain strength, walking in
authority and spiritual gifts. At this time, we begin to take on the
characteristics of mature sheep, bearing wool, producing for the Master. It is
a time of exhilaration in the things of God.
But somehow, in all of our growth and learning, we didn't yet understand
about the seasons of the Lord, even though nature and the Scriptures teach it.
We didn't know that autumn and winter were coming, and perhaps in our youthful
zeal and pride, we scorned those who seemed to be experiencing anything less
obviously dynamic.
Then, right as it seemed we were harvesting a bumper crop of fruit,
revelation, gifts, and answered prayer - all of a sudden, a cold snap appeared!
Spiritual food seemed harder to come by and we had to look deeper for
refreshing water. Nothing seemed to be producing and everything slowed down.
The nights were long and cold, with all signs of life and vitality
disappearing.
To the inexperienced lamb, his world had come to an end. His activities
were curtailed, and the Shepherd was not as visible, although ever present.
Yet, it was in this time that the sheep was maturing, gaining weight from the
dry morsels the Shepherd provided. He was beginning to participate in the
reproductive process, which also meant that spring would be coming again.
The same parallel can be drawn with the believer and a fruit tree. The
Bible refers to us as "trees of righteousness, the planting of the
Lord". A nurseryman will prune a tree, that is, cut off previous areas of
growth and fruitfulness, in order to have a greater harvest of fruit.
Spiritual seasons have their own particular beauty to be appreciated
while they fulfill their purposes. Spring means awakening and promise; summer
means work and fulfillment. Autumn means slowing down and removing of dead wood
(both previously productive and not); winter means testing and character
building. Winter is a time of obedience for the sake of obedience.
By the way, spiritual seasons are not easily marked off on the calendar.
They vary in length, according to the specific purpose of Almighty God. But be
assured, you will go through them again and again for the purpose of maturity,
strengthening, fruitfulness, and wisdom.
Rather than become alarmed at the apparent change of seasons in your
life or church or ministry, follow the counsel of Paul: "Be instant in season, and out
of season." Be consistently zealous of good works. Look for the beauty of
each, cooperating with the Wisdom of God, attaining the full benefit of each
one. Let us have the attitude found in Scripture:
"My times are in Your hand." (Ps. 31:15)
"He hath made everything beautiful in His
time." (Eccl. 3:11)
Have a wonderful Resurrection Sunday!
