Song of Songs 2
The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.
Song of Songs 2:11-13 TPT
I heard The Spirit of the One True Living God from whom all blessings flow say,
I Am breathing a fresh wind on you — on your heart, onto your face, into your lungs. This is a time of refreshing and a new wind — more than a second wind — a completely new wind, because the season has changed. Truly, now the season of your barren winter is over. The season of fruitfulness, covenant, delight, joy, prosperity and celebration is here. This is a new song season. Your life will play a new song as it is joined to all that has been waiting, all that has been held back, all that has seemed delayed. It is all now coming to fruition. The promise is here. The waiting is over.
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.“
Psalms 27:13-14 NASB1995
Your promise comes with labor. It comes with work. It comes with getting your hands dirty. But it also comes with the ability to articulate the value of waiting for My promises to be fully matured. It comes with the ability to speak clearly and unashamedly to the value and importance of your great preference for waiting for My promises to mature and come into the right time in the right season. You can speak with deep personal knowledge of the reasons to not get ahead of the maturing of My promises, and that it is possible to do so — to great disappointment or simply to a lesser blessing. Even in the right season, it can be the wrong time, it can be pre-mature. Wait the full measure of time, and you will receive a greater than expected full and oversized measure of the promise. The world may mock your waiting, but their worldly minds cannot begin to understand it.
Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him. Worship in awe and wonder, all you who’ve been made holy! For all who fear him will feast with plenty. Even the strong and the wealthy grow weak and hungry, but those who passionately pursue the Lord will never lack any good thing.
Psalms 34:8-10 TPT
This is the season of tasting and seeing that I Am good. And you are now deeply, expertly equipped to speak on not only My faithfulness, but to the keys and the value — the critical importance of waiting for the right time in the right season. You will know the oversized delight it brings. You will know that this oversized spectacle of My love reveals the weakness of man, reveals your inability to have done any of it for yourself. And it carries as a result, the great revelation of My strength, My faithfulness and My God-sized, overwhelming, lavish love. This is a now word. This is the due season and the appointed time.
How to Respond
- Position yourself to receive the over-sized promises, blessings and delight of the Lord.
- Pray, Father thank You that the fullness of Your promises are due in this time in this season. Thank You that You will show that my waiting has paid off, and it will be seen in front of all that You are the God who overwhelms His lovers with blessing, with fulfillment and delights. Help me to position my heart and my life to receive all that You have stored up for me in this due season.
- Declare, Now I can say to myself and to all, “Relax and rest, be confident and serene, for the Lord rewards fully those who simply trust in him. — Psalms 116:7 TPT
- Decree, This is the due time in the right season. The Lord is fulfilling His promises, and they will be bigger and more delightful than I could have imagined. These promises will require my cooperation, my work, my willingness to get my hands dirty. And they will reveal my inability to have achieved or gotten any of this on my own. They will reveal the strength, faithfulness and lavish love of my God.
