The Master Gardener

The Lord showed me that revival was about the seed in the ground that was only soil before without any life in it. He has prepared the right soil with the right nutrients as a Master Gardener. When we see the flowers and all the life, we have called that revival and many have wanted the instant appearing of flowers – the joy, the dancing, the healings, the salvations etc. Revival is about life starting where there was no life. It starts with a dormant period that prepares the seed to begin to emerge. This does not diminish the fact that the soil is now alive with new life. Our hearts are now alive with new purpose that will emerge for sure. It’s a process and what it looks like today will not look like it will in the next season. Anxious to see if my Peruvian daffodil bulbs were ever going to come up, I dug through the soil and found them alive beginning to send up shoots. They take many weeks in the ground before they will come up. The dormancy period is vital to jump start them to release growth hormones. (The meaning of the word “vital”: of or manifesting life, from Latin vitalis “of or belonging to life,” from vita “life,” related to vivere “to live”.) Dormancy is a vital part of the process of revival and yet we are feeling the stirrings of greater glories ahead because the spiritual growth hormones are flowing. This last season is an unexpected glory of a providential deconstruction, as it were. It has been the breaking up of the soil—all the church stuff we did and the trappings that go with it and various distractions from our different walks of life. We have been plunged into vital dormancy. It has been a time of bringing us face to face, one-on-one with Him. It has been a time rediscovering our love relationship with Him. It has been a time of dealing with our stuff or discovering we had stuff to work out before His loving Presence. Currently, I’m hesitant to emerge since I have many internal things to resolve. In time we will resolve all that is required by Him for our lives in this season and then flowering time. Like Spring that emerges gradually, so too will revival morph from us being vitally dormant to us being revealed in full bloom with His purposes for an amazing future just down the road. He reminds us that everyone will be very anointed. We won’t have to go to big events far away to receive because each of us will be flowing with His Presence. We will be portals of His Kingdom for each other. We will activate those around us to be the same. Love, Bill This article is a prophetic word from Bill Hernandez.
