Before They Spring Forth!
Here is what The LORD is saying: “I AM bringing forth a new thing that will solidify your walk with Me,” says The LORD.
“For The LORD will do nothing until He reveals it first to His servants, the Prophets.
Behold the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I tell you of them.
A river has become wider and wider, deeper and deeper, as its tributaries empty into the river basin from all around the countryside.
But I AM doing a new thing in this matter concerning the river,” says The LORD.
“This river is emptying itself into the tributaries, and from the tributaries into the streams, from the streams into the bubbling brooks all around the surrounding land.
For My Spirit is pouring out as the wide river from the Throne of My Kingdom, into the hearts of the fathers who are calling upon My Name, into the hearts of the Families, into the hearts of children, even to the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who have been calling upon Me.
For the eyes of The LORD are roaming to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking those whose hearts are steadfast toward Me, to show Myself strong in their behalf.
For I have not forgotten the promises I have made to the generations that have been calling upon My Grace, and for the outpouring of My Spirit.
I have not forgotten the day when I became your first love, when The Word That is Sent quickened your heart by My Holy Spirit, and the transformation of your life began to flourish. I call you back to the flourishing that began so long ago.
Return to Me!” says The LORD.
“For I truly am doing a new work, a new purpose that will accomplish the desire of My heart.
For it is I Who formed your ear, shall I not hear?
I AM The One Who formed your eyes; shall I not see?
I also AM The One Who formed your heart; shall I not know what is the content of your heart?
It is My desire that you be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that your life will be the proof of the outpouring of My Holy Spirit. It will not be cancelled out.
Come now, you who have become weary while waiting for your desires to be fulfilled, and I will give you rest.
Come now. and learn from Me, for I AM meek and lowly of heart, for I AM doing what I see My Father doing.
My Yoke is easy, and My Burden is light.
You will find the rest you have been looking for.
The outpouring of My Spirit in your life is again becoming the bubbling brook you have been desiring.
For out of your innermost being will pour forth rivers of living waters again.
It is being done not by your own might, not by your own power, but by My Spirit,” says The LORD.
“Call upon Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things that you don’t know…” Jeremiah 33:3.
“At the same time,” says The LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.” Thus says The LORD: “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness — Israel, when I went to give him rest.”
The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you. Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt, O virgin of Israel! You shall again be adorned with your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.” Jeremiah 31:1-4.
