"SPRING FORWARD"

 

Joel 2:23-24: Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the Lord your God! For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness. Once more the autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring. 24 The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

 

I've included a song this week that I want you to listen to. It may or may not be your style of music but I want you to not focus on whether or not you like the style of music but focus on what the words to the song are saying.

 

Earlier this week I didn't realize this weekend was the time to turn our clocks ahead and I heard someone say those words, spring forward. The minute I heard those words they struck me and I heard the Lord speak that this is the season in which many will spring forward. As we spring ahead in time in this natural world, your spiritual word is also springing forward.

 

Maybe everything is going great for you, everything is right on time but I guarantee there are many reading this that are in a place where you've been standing on promises and you've been ready for your next assignment or your next season. We all go through times where things are going great and we all go through times of transition, so, this may or may not apply to you.

 

As this song and the Bible say, everything is working together for your good. It's time to rejoice because your threshing floors will again be piled high with grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil. It's time for you to spring forward! You need to prophesy this over your life, don't wait for someone else to do it because they may not, you do it. This is your season for grace and favor; this is your season to reap what you have sown.

 

I don't believe that everything that happens in the natural is a prophetic sign of things happening in the spiritual realm but I heard this so clearly and so quickly that I know this applies to some of you. Go ahead and claim it, go ahead and prophecy it, you are springing forward!

 

Listen to the words of this song and be blessed.
