PRUNING

April 17, 2008


John 15:1-2

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

I found myself standing before a mirror that allows you to look at yourself from three angles. As I peered into these mirrors a landscape of beautiful blue seas was the reflection staring back at me. The horizon was hard to discern as the sky kissed the seas. I asked the Lord what does this mean Lord? His response to me was, "Where the fruit ends there is no beginning."

"Watch, for there are many waters across the land where My fruit shall be birth through them that wait upon Me. For I will call across the seas to a land where I shall call My people, a land never seen, for they shall arise and call these lands blessed of the Lord. For the blessing of the Lord shall be upon those crossing the seas and I will speak of new things to come in this season of My prosperity. There are lands that are burdensome and shall be dried up like the quail that fell upon the ground in the wilderness. But I shall prosper the lands that answer the call of My Spirit, "Come to Me, for I shall give thee rest and you shall find the rest that you need complete in Me, says the Lord. There are many with the rock in their hand that would cast stones at these nations." The nation of Arabia dropped in my spirit. "Haven't I said I am a redeemer? Is there anything too hard for your God?"

"Reach to me and search your heart and find that I will give the nations strength to turn around and repent from their ways. Many lands will find My sword upon them, but many shall also find My grace. For those of you I have called to labor in the vineyard, I say it is time for pruning. My people shall be pruned to bear more fruit. I will show you how pruning is effective for the life I have called you to, for it is more joyous than painful as when a woman gives birth to a child through the pain. For many shall birth in this season, in countries that have never seen My grace. I am about to unfold the plan of God in areas that were hard hit with rain. I shall dry the land as a blow torch that will bring fruition as My people cross the seas and walk into the lands bringing prosperity as I have spoke before. There will be a new wind of revival for those who would arise and stand upon the shores as they take flight and renew their strength for the ministry in their hand is their choice. I have given some options. Would it be there? Would it be here? It shall be where the heart of the Spirit leads you to go, for truly there are places that are hard to the touch, but I shall arise and make the land smooth that was once so very rough. The mountains shall be made low as My people arise to make the valleys rise in these lands that are not seen. You shall go into the territories for their is a call from these lands crying out for more." I see the call of Macedonia as in the book of Acts.

"No need to worry about the little things, I say, for I shall call out new ideas that will make children bring laughter into the streets of war. For many shall arise, for the war torn areas call out to Me. They are mine, says the Lord, for I love them with an everlasting love and My love shall come through thee. Wait, for I will see that every area you are sent is clean. For I am taking the territory for thee and you will know that this is where you are to go. Have no doubt, have no fear, for the Spirit of the Lord is near to the heartland of the people and I shall teach you of their ways. For the guidance of the Spirit will help you stand with My grace. Go I say, and speak My word, for this is the day that the Lord cometh to bring joy. The fruit you have bared will become so much more, when I loose you from the chains of ministry into My word. God be with you some will say, but I say, Nay, God be with those that stay who refuse to show the Way."

Bless is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. Let he who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says....
