Cardinals — and The Season of New Life!
Today, I was drawn to pictures of Cardinals. We also get them at our bird feeder. The Cardinal is one of God’s amazing beautiful creations.
Many see Cardinals as a sign sent by a loved one who has gone to heaven. Abba Father uses His creation to speak with us.
And as I sought The LORD for the meaning of His beautiful red birds, in a vision I saw hundreds of Red Cardinals.
They were sitting on the branches of a beautiful pine tree on a Mountain.
The Tree was decorated with shining lights of all colors. It was like a Christmas tree but it was more than that, it was the Tree of Life.
The red color stands for the Blood of Jesus, shed for us. The Royal Color that covers us and sets us apart, the color of the Fire of Heaven and The Holy Spirit!
“Beloved. This is a season of New Life!
Go tell it on the Mountain — that Jesus Christ is born.
It is a Season of signs and wonders.
Do not dispute among you the timing of it for I have set this season apart in the Spirit.
It is The Holy Time to proclaim the New Birth.
It is a Season of Miracles.
Do not let men’s traditions dampen your Joy.
This Joy and Peace and Good Will have been proclaimed by Angels on High.
I have saved you to the uttermost. You shall rise up as a Royal Child of the King.
You shall know supernatural secrets and know the Power of the Sacrifice. Come all ye Faithful. There is a Gathering.
You shall bring the Joy of heaven to earth. Noel! Born is the King of Israel!
You have Light in the midst of darkness, hope instead of the ashes of sorrow, warmth in the coldest of winter.
I AM the Tree of Life.
I shelter you from the storms. Rest upon the Boughs. The Leaves are for the Healing of The Nations.
Hear the Angels’ voices. They proclaim who you are in Me; My most beautiful Creation, reflecting the Fire in My Eyes.
You are clothed in My Garments of Salvation.
Rejoice, Beloved, this is a season of Notable Miracles to celebrate your King. Sing Hallelujah!
You shall reign with Me forever and ever! Your whole household shall be clothed in Scarlet!”
CARDINALS : Symbolizing combating difficulties with hope in God, the red cardinal appears in times of stress and despair to encourage hope and persistence. Tied with the blood of Christ, the cardinal represent the eternal life-giving nature of Jesus and His ministry. There is no question that God has used animals and birds throughout the Bible as signs of His presence or to draw attention to His message. God used eagles, doves, sparrows, ravens and other birds to demonstrate His love and care for us. Psalm 50:11 “I know every bird in the mountains.” (lovetoknow)
NOEL : Noël comes to us from the Latin verb nasci, meaning “to be born.”
RED FIRE : A fire is the result of a chemical reaction known as combustion, where fuel and oxygen react with one another and atoms rearrange themselves irreversibly. Red fire is the coolest of flames.
THE TREE OF LIFE : “Down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” Revelation 22:2 (seeing TWOS again)
Isaiah 2:2 (TWOS) “It shall come to pass in the latter days that the MOUNTAIN of the house of The LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it,”
Jesus Christ hanging on the cross is the Tree of Life in its winter-time. This tree yields a shelter from the storm. Other trees are dangerous when the tempest howls; but he who shelters beneath the tree of The LORD Jesus cannot be harmed. Heaven and earth should sooner pass away than a soul be lost that hides beneath the boughs of this Tree. He is the Tree of Life, yielding twelve kinds of fruits, those fruits being always ripe and always ready, all being free to all who desire them, for the leaves are not for the healing of some, but “for the healing of the nations.” There He stands, — Jesus, — The Tree of Life — and yet how changed! The same Jesus, but clothed with honor instead of shame, able now to save those to the uttermost who come to God by Him.” (Charles Spurgeon)
RED : This powerful color stands for the Blood that Jesus shed for our forgiveness, healing, deliverance, and salvation. It is the Fire of His Holy Spirit that cleanses us and sanctifies us from clay to vessels of honor. The fire of His Red blood makes us vessels that are able to carry whatever He pours into us. This Fire baptizes us into becoming a new creature in Christ. Red brings a river of provision from Heaven. It brings the Breath of Heaven to make our spiritual muscles able to function. Red awakens us to action and enables us with His ability to perform the Will of the Father. Red is the color of the Mature Priesthood: the experienced ones who know the supernatural secrets and power of the sacrifice. Red brings the life of heaven into this earth. Red grafts us into God’s Heart. Red is the Fire that lights our minds and hearts with Love. Red is the Love of Life. (Carol Nemitz – Prophetic Meaning of Color)
“Why is your apparel RED, and your garments like His who treads in the winepress? ” Isaiah 63:2
