Joshua 1
How beautiful on the mountains are the sandaled feet of this one bringing such good news. You are truly royalty! The way you walk so gracefully in my ways displays such dignity. You are truly the poetry of God—his very handiwork. Out of your innermost being is flowing the fullness of my Spirit— never failing to satisfy. Within your womb there is a birthing of harvest wheat; they are the sons and daughters nurtured by the purity you impart. How gracious you have become! Your life stands tall as a tower, like a shining light on a hill. Your revelation eyes are pure, like pools of refreshing — sparkling light for a multitude. Such discernment surrounds you, protecting you from the enemy’s advance.
Song of Songs 7:1-4 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
A launching is coming. My Spirit is re-routing and re-calculating. Where some have been circling the same mountain time and time again, I Am imparting instructions on how to advance to the Promised Land. It’s time to take the hill country. It’s time to leave this mountain wilderness behind and advance to the days your heart has seen and longed for but on which your eyes have never gazed.
Your inward life is now sprouting, bringing forth fruit. What a beautiful paradise unfolds within you. When I’m near you, I smell aromas of the finest spice, for many clusters of my exquisite fruit now grow within your inner garden. Here are the nine: pomegranates of passion, henna from heaven, spikenard so sweet, saffron shining, fragrant calamus from the cross, sacred cinnamon, branches of scented woods, myrrh, like tears from a tree, and aloe as eagles ascending. You are a fountain of gardens. A well of living water springs up from within you, like a mountain brook flowing into my heart!
Song of Songs 4:13-15 TPT
A significant re-routing is here, because it is the time of the fully blossomed heart. Things that have lain dormant inside of you, things that have been growing in private, in secret, things that have been incubating have now breached the surface and achieved full bloom, so the secret, the hiding is not only no longer possible, but it is no longer needed. This is an emergence and a blessing from the secret hidden place of your heart, and the fragrance of what you have been cultivating, nurturing and growing in secret is now on full display for all to enjoy.
Who is this one? She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tree, as you were feasting upon me, I awakened your innermost being with the travail of birth as you longed for more of me.
Song of Songs 8:5 TPT
The blossoming, the full-fledged emergence of the blossoming from your heart is what has initiated and triggered the instruction and clear direction to leave the wilderness, to depart from that mountain and to move forward into uncharted territory — to destiny dreamed and that not yet imagined. This is the time where the desert road gives way to a green path, full of life. And you drive directly toward the sunrise of the new day in a land flowing with milk and honey — into that which is My purpose for you, to live as a well-watered garden in a land flowing with milk and honey with abundance, prosperity and dreams fulfilled.
I repeat, be strong and brave! Do not yield to fear nor be discouraged, for I am Yahweh your God, and I will be with you wherever you go!” “Go through the camp and instruct the people, ‘Pack your bags; for within three days you will cross the Jordan to conquer and occupy the land that Yahweh your God is giving you to possess.’
Joshua 1:9, 11 TPT
This is a convergence, an emergence, a blossoming, a re-routing and a launching. They will all take place in short order. They all hand off to one another. Set your face toward the Promised Land now My dear. It’s time to take the hill country. I Am with you every step of the way.
How to Respond
- Don’t hold so tightly to your dreams and promises that they cannot emerge from your heart and blossom.
- Pray, Holy Spirit help me to allow the dreams and promises in my heart to emerge and bloom, so You can re-route my life into fulfillment. Thank You for being faithful to me as I circled the mountain, and thank You for providing a way to the Promised Land of fulfillment, abundance and joy that You have prepared for me. Help me to boldly, obediently and decisively move forward to apprehend that which You have for me there.
- Declare, “Now give me the hill country that Yahweh promised me on that day. You yourself were there and heard the report that the Anakim lived there in strong and fortified cities. I know that with the power of Yahweh helping me, I will drive them out, just as Yahweh said!” Joshua spoke God’s blessing over Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since because he passionately followed Yahweh, the God of Israel. — Joshua 14:12-14 TPT
- Decree, the dreams of my heart have breached the surface. They have emerged and are in full bloom. So I am moving forward at the Lord’s fresh instruction to re-route my direction. I’m leaving the mountain wilderness behind and have set my face toward uncharted territory on a path to the Promised Land where fulfillment and life more abundant are in great supply. I will not slow down or settle until I take the hill country and all that He has for promised for me there.
