Song of Songs 4
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.
Song of Songs 2:11-12 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
Your heart is a well-attended garden. We have weeded out the bitter roots that wanted to choke out the beautiful things and cause them not to bloom. This is a time of a beautiful blossoming of all that is in your heart. What once felt like barren soil, what once felt like a graveyard of broken, delayed or abandoned dreams is now coming into full bloom. The weeding and the fertilizing, the watering and the planting — even the long stretch of time where we left the ground fallow, so you could dream again richly when it was the right time — all of it has been for a reason. All of it was to bring you into this season of blossoming, of great fruitfulness, of being very attractive to the free and buzzing creatures that spread life — the butterflies and the bees that pollinate and delight, that signify freedom that was hard fought for and won and the ones who bring such sweetness into life. These are the ones who are attracted to the well-attended garden that is your heart.
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. For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice. How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer.
Song of Songs 2:13-14 TPT
I’m not looking for individual ministry. I’m looking for hearts that will grow together. I’m looking for mergers, for Divine synergistic moments and for expansion that astounds and delights. This is a time of growing together, of coming together moments. I have had many pulled aside in this season. I have kept many hidden and in the cocoon of My workshop, in the wilderness, in the hidden place for an extended season of refining, purification, watering, weeding, fertilizing and great, deep rooting. And now I Am causing these individually well-attended gardens to run into one another and to merge into an expansive, wide-open spacious place that becomes a delight to many — to even many more than could fit in the two spaces when they were separate.
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. Your life flows into mine, pure as a garden spring. 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 (print version)
This is a time of synergistic merging, of very natural growth together in a way that is so seamless and so beautiful it appears that it was very much planned this way. Watch for My Divine synergistic mergers. It will seem as though nature has just taken its course. I assure you, it was very well directed. It has been very much happening under the guided growth and the supervision of My Holy Spirit. But this is a time where beautiful, well-attended gardens begin to run into one another to create an expanse of beauty that welcomes and delights many. This is a season of Divine Mergers.
How to Respond
- Trust the Lord to direct your life. Be open to change and ready for unexpected Divine mergers.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You that the season of my being hidden and purified, weeded, watered, fertilized and planted was not for nothing. Thank You that the season of the soil of my heart lying fallow was not for nothing. Thank You that You have moved me into a moment of beauty and blossoming that gives way to Divinely directed mergers. Help me to let go of my expectations and let go of the now, so I can move into Your appointed future for me.
- Declare, the season of my barren winter has ended, and the season of my hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth of my heart and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The early signs of the Lord’s 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.” (Adapted from Song of Songs 2:11-14)
- Decree, the Lord has moved me into a season of blossoming, blooming and of my life being a beautiful fragrance to Him. This springtime season in my life is heading to Divine appointments for Divine mergers that expand my territory and extend my tent pegs. I will move in obedience to my King, Jesus. And I will watch as He changes my life — the expanse and landscape of my life — in a beautiful way that I can’t perceive yet, but He has had it planned from the beginning.
