On May 6, The Holy Spirit showed me an animated illustration of a Spiritual Truth.
He showed me a fruit tree that was dying. This tree was once vibrant, and flourishing, but its life has now been diminished.
The trunk was decayed, the branches were withered and its bark was cracked and peeling. Although it was still standing, it was frail and weak.
The tree’s limbs were brittle and they cracked under pressure and snapped with wind gusts.
But then He showed me this tree in a “time-lapse”. A time-lapse video shows a compressed version of a longer period of time.
For example, you could watch a 24-hour video in a matter of minutes, as it displays a rapid sequence of events or changes that occur over an extended time.
In the time-lapse, I saw this tree begin to morph into a huge vibrant “fruit-bearing tree” with a strong trunk.
The fruit was ripe and bright red in color. Its branches stretched way up into the sky, and once again began to gently sway with the rhythm of a gentle breeze.
The Holy Spirit was showing me a Prophetic Picture. This symbolic analogy represented strength, tenacity, restoration, and renewal.
He showed me that these trees represent divine reversal to things that have been destroyed in your lives.
I saw an acceleration of restoration, and that which was dead being resurrected. That which was damaged will be restored.
Those of you who have been through a dreadful season will experience this rapid restoration. The LORD brought to my remembrance a Dream that I had several years ago about a clock.
In the Dream, I was looking at a wall clock. It was a fairly large clock, round, and approximately 12’ (365cm) in diameter.
As I was watching it, the hands began to rotate on their own. I was so excited because I knew that The Holy Spirit was showing me an acceleration of time.
I remember watching intently as the hands circled around, and I was curious to see what number they stopped at.
Although they didn’t stop, it caught my attention when the minute hand passed the number six.
I quickly reached for my phone (in the dream) to record a video of this supernatural phenomenon and then the dream ended.
The next day as I began to write the dream down, The LORD showed me several things.
The clock hands moving forward at an accelerated speed represented an acceleration of the time that we are in.
When I woke up I couldn’t remember all the details, but when I walked into the kitchen and looked at my clock, The LORD instantly brought that amazing dream back to my remembrance.
I knew without a doubt that this dream was a Word from God. I had several confirmations for weeks after this dream, and now once again, The LORD is saying, we are in a time of rapid recovery and divine acceleration.
As we are now in the season of spring, the earth is awakening from its winter slumber, and all that seemed desolate is now bursting forth with renewal.
Lifeless plants and foliage are coming back to life. In the same way, The LORD is awakening you back from your slumber.
What was stagnant in your life is now being restored, revitalized, and rejuvenated in this season of great acceleration.
Jesus is awakening those dreams that He has placed in your heart and resurrecting those promises that He has made to you.
He is loosing you from the death sentence that has attached itself to you, and bringing you into a life of victory.
Don’t allow your present situations to take you into spiritual atrophy. Allow Him to resuscitate you once again.
Allow Him to bring those dead things back to life and refresh those areas that are parched and dry.
Those gifts that have been dormant will be revived once again. Trust in Him as He begins to raise those things that have deceased back up, and release you from those things that have kept you stagnant.
He will give you beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning. He will rebuild the old ruins and rebuild your life just as well.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1.
“The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing.” Isaiah 35:1.
“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” 1 Peter 5:10.
