New day dawning: Prepare for the spring

<sup>Re-post from 2011.   

11</sup> Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ¹³ So the evening and the morning were the third day. (NKJ Genesis 1 v 11)

^{Sunday 4 September: No matter how severely or how often a tree is pruned and cut back it will grow again – nothing will stop it.  A second word from the Lord spoke to the preparation for spring that is done in the autumn.  We weed, cut back, clean out and shape. With a vision of how we want our garden to grow and bloom in the spring, we bury our seeds and bulbs, prune, tie back and protect the vulnerable plant. All of this in EXPECTATION of the coming spring.}

^{So it is with our lives and fellowships – God has a perpetual eternal plan; HE created seeds that are perpetual in design.  We WILL reap from the seeds of the last season BUT whilst reaping the harvest, recast vision, wait on the Lord expecting the vision of your new garden and then prune, re-organise, dig up, fertilise and plant as He shows.} 

<sup>The season ahead is about resurrection life – it’s about proclamation, preparing the way for our Saviour. Get rid of the debris. Submit to pruning. 

With expectation watch and wait on the Lord – this new season does not delay. It is the dawning of the third day.</sup>

Treasure to be found

On Monday (12/12/2011) evening I had a spontaneous vision of the Kimberley diamond mine which was closed around 1902 (picture right) and as the sun moved across the hole I could see in the depths the glitter of diamonds deep below the surface - diamonds that had been buried and never brought to the surface. The word in my spirit was plumb the depths, plumb the depths. The vision then changed to a very steep and dark vertical tunnel and looking up into the sunlight at the entrance a man started to climb down; he was going to the depths to uncover/recover the diamonds.

Message (individual): We are seeing the ushering in of a season of recovery - recovery and bringing to the surface of those spiritual treasures that are sown into our DNA/fellowships/networks and which will be used for saving souls. This has to work in conjunction with plumbing the depths of scripture with Christ at the centre - making this our breastplate. It may well be a lonely, uncomfortable place to move into - but God is with us to explore the deep recesses of our souls. Christ's light will shine to navigate the way and help is already on the way - signposts on how to access this treasure will start to appear; so will opportunities prsent themselves to take hold of them and apply to everyday life.

Message (At a local level): This reflects that the covered wells are now open, the water is filling up and as we focus on Jesus and make HIM central to our message we will start to see the treasure of souls we are longing for - this is awesome as it is far wider, deeper and bigger than we expect!!

Note:  Kimberly mine was an open cast mine and yeileded some of the biggest gems globally - one of which sits in HRM crown.  It's also interesting to note that the modern "Kimberly process" is a global initiative to ensure that "blood diamonds" don't enter the supply chains - these are diamonds that are sourced/mined from conflict areas and where profits are used to fuel the arms trade and war. 

Knock and the door WILL open

God is amazing! (17/11/2011) Our little home group in SE London experienced a wave of Holy Spirit washing over us - everyone prophesying, praying for each other, singing spontaneously with a download of visions, words and scripture.

A pertinent vision is one that relates to the time of waiting that many of us have found ourselves in - the vision came with a door swinging open with the open doorway filled with the radiance of Christ ...... And a deep assurance for those who have been in a place of waiting and/or transition and have kept their focus on Christ, the door to the new day is about to open. Jesus's words echo through time ..... "Knock and the door shall open"

Amen & amen - come Lord Jesus - come.

Gods' people revolution (WAKE UP!)

Wake up, wake up, O sleeper. Stand up and unite.   

The time is short.  You have all the power given to you. Come to me in prayer, I have limitless resources.  Wake up, wake up, it is time to stop talking about things but to take action.  I am waiting for you to partner with me in the work.

Rise up O sleeper!  

It's time to wake up (Rap number by Jeremy) (opens in new window)

Then a picture of Moses with his arms raised holding his staff, so the Israelites could win their battle.  This representing our role in the heavenly battles as we pray and get involved, battles can be won and we can see God’s kingdom established in our area.

God is not as impressed or concerned about human dates and numbers as we are! (Y2K, 11.11.11 etc) But nevertheless, the anointing of the Holy Spirit did fall on a date 50 days after Jesus death and resurrection at PENTECOST. God knows the seasons - Be in tune with the seasons of God as He is raising the people. Christians rising up, actively participating in His plan out of which streams of living water will flow.
