A Flower in the Midst of Darkness!

Introduction!

When the Lord imparts His prophetic word to me, I usually like to add pictures as you will observe as you read below and in the other oracles and prophecies posted on TourofTruth.com. I enjoy using this addition for it brings life and vibrancy to His prophetic word.

This is a very encouraging word for us for the Lord tells us how He sees us in the hard and difficult times or issues we face as we walk with Him and listen for His word to come to us.

Therefore, I continue to submit to you these downloads from the Lord and I hope you find them speaking to you and causing you to draw closer to the Master.

I heard the Lord say:

A flower in the midst of darkness.

  You have been planted

by My hand.

 I have selected you,

planted you,

fertilized you,

and

watered you with

My Holy Spirit

 and

My Word.

You are a precious flower

of many colors

and

you have been the

beauty of My eye

 despite the things which you have

endured and encountered with your walk with Me.

You need to know

and

 hear that it is I,

the Lord,

who has sustained you through

 the dry times,

the times of dark clouds,

the times of storms, 

the times of turmoil,

and

the times of accusations,

which have come upon

 you

 and

have attempted to pelt

and

beat you down.

Do not doubt

 that I have been with you

 and

 continue to walk with you

 for My hand has covered you

 and

 continues to lead you in the

 direction I desire for you.

You are My flower

of many colors

and

 I will begin to multiply

your colors

 which will radiate into  

the lives of many which

 heretofore you know not.

I will also strengthen

 your roots with a newness

 and

 freshness

where some of the roots

 have had trouble in growing

and

feeding the fullness

 of the flower

I desire for you to become.

Know this,

these roots which

I will refresh and feed the

new blossoms of your

 flower will become…..

New roots of faith – faith to believe in the impossible and see the impossible happen before your eyes.  Many will be amazed and filled with wonder in what they will see and experience.  It will be a marvelous sight when I visit My people.

   New roots of expectations – expectations beyond what you now expect for your expectations and faith will work together to bring heaven into your midst.

·        New roots of learning how to come into My presence.  A holiness and a consecration I will impart to you which you have not known.

New roots of working with and hearing the Holy Spirit in dynamic ways which will cause many to leave the flesh life and the secret of confessed sins and enter into My Spirit – walking, talking, and praising in the Spirit.  They will awaken in the middle of the night and hear the Spirit speaking to them and they will speak to Him.

·        New roots of understanding and speaking My Word.  The mysteries of My Word you have been seeking will be revealed to you for you to share with one another for these revealed mysteries of My Word will show you how to navigate the darkness of times you are now living in.

·         

·        New roots of My power manifested in your gatherings. When you gather together in worship of Me, My power will come as the rain in the springtime.  It will penetrate and soak the humble, the seeker after Me, the contrite ones, and the ones with disease and sickness of many kinds.

·        New roots of loving and serving each other.  True love for one another in the anointing I will place on you will bring you the joy of heaven and elevate you above the critical and judgmental spirit which is now captivating and pulling My people into many bondages. 

Know that from love springs faith,

and

from faith will spring My power,

 and

from My power will cause

the Kingdom of God to come

and

 flow in your midst. 

Therefore,

love one another with a fervent love

I will place in those who love me

 with all their heart, soul, and mind.

 Love will be your key to victory

over the darkness which surrounds you.

 These then are the new roots

 I wish to establish for you

 as My precious flower to be

 a sweet aroma and fragrance

to one another

 and

 for those who will come

 through your door.

Thank you, Jesus!

Note:

After recording this Word, the Lord directed me to Revelation 22:16:

I, Jesus,

 have sent My messenger

(angel) to you to witness

and

to give you assurance of these things

for the churches

 (assemblies).

I am the Root (the Source)

and

the Offspring of David,

the radiant and brilliant

Morning Star.

Revelation 22:16 (AMP)

Let us know that Christ is the Root – the Source of all. He is the fragrance coming from the flower or blossom (His disciples) which He tends with His love, mercy, and forgiveness. 

Solomon recorded:

“…..And the vines

(My comment: Christ is the True Vine (John 15:1-17).

in

blossom have given forth

                        their fragrance.

(My comment: the aroma of the indwelling Christ in His people being release by the moving of the Holy Spirit).)

 Arise,

 my darling.

 my beautiful one,

and

come along!”

Song of Solomon 2:13

A fitting end to this prophetic word for Christ would say to all of us:

O’ little flower of My hand,

Your fragrance is My aroma

I have imparted to you

and

you have become

My beautiful one.

Now arise

in the Holy Spirit

and

fulfill the call I have

placed on your life.

Come along

with Me for we have

 much work to do

and

complete before I return.

Thank you, Jesus.  I love You!
