New Life Is Upon Us

 

For the last couple of weeks I have been seeing the color green as the Lord has been highlighting it to me showing up in photos and television again and again. Recently I saw on TV a woman with a green gown, the furniture was green, the curtains were green, the wallpaper was green, a man’s robe was green, background imagery was green. I asked Him what all this green meant. He said that we are in Spring now where lots of green appears. From His point of view the whole Earth is in Spring even though now is Summer. In Spring all the plants wake from their winter slumber and start putting out new shoots, leaves, branches etc.. We are emerging like those shoots coming up from the ground. He said that we have not died, but had gone to seed over this past season and now is the time those seeds are sprouting. We are sprouting and coming forth.

We have all been through a season of being pruned back across the globe. Every walk of life has been affected by the impacts of Covid. Many of us feel like we have gone fallow and have lost vision. It’s not over for us at all.

We are in a season now of new life where callings and destinies will be clarified and that is just the beginning. Once all the plants spring forth with greenery then comes the flowers and after the flowers the fruit. We are being prepared for abundant fruitfulness.

We had a healthy, fruitful lemon tree when I was a teenager and I pruned it back severely to practice my overzealous gardening skills. It just had stumps for branches and my parents were in shock and mom tearful. The next year the tree had so many branches with hundreds lemons they all had to be supported by boards and poles. Just so, this is a vision of what we can expect and will happen for us. Since we were fruitful before, we will be fruitful again.

Be encouraged. Having been pruned and cut back in our ministries, careers, finances and
everywhere else you will see the emergence of more than you had before. Our new Spring which we are in will spring forth an abundance we never expected. I see callings, destinies and gifting we never knew we had.

Doug Addison says that a new season of authority is here. I agree.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

Prov 4:18

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit,
He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit,
He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

John 15:1-2
 

Affectionately, Bill
