On the 1st day of April, I heard the Spirit of the Lord say:
“Get ready for the pouring out
Get ready for the new wine
Get ready for the bursting forth.
The pouring out of my Spirit on all flesh
For I am opening up spaces and places for my people to thrive and to flourish.
For this is the hour of the open spaces.
The green spaces
The emerald places.”
As I heard these words, I sensed an opening of doors and opportunities and the movement into places. I then heard the Spirit ask:
“Will you not go? Will you not go and occupy these spaces?”
Two days later I heard the Spirit of the Lord once more speaking of a bursting forth. I heard:
“There is an acceleration that is coming.
There is an acceleration that is coming to the body of Christ.
Ready yourself.
Put on your garments.
Brace for impact.
Eyes have not seen nor ears have heard of it.
Do not be fearful of it.
This is wonderful. This is wonderful.
A bursting forth.
Joy unspeakable and full of glory
There is an acceleration coming.
There is a bursting forth.
There is a bursting forth of an abundance of rain”
As I pondered these words I was reminded of the following scripture verses:
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:1-2
“ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain”
1 Kings 18:41
“So David marched against Baal Perazim and defeated them there. Then he said, “The Lord has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So he called the name of that place Baal Perazim”
2 Samuel 5: 20
“He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth*, saying, “Now the Lord has given us room and we will flourish in the land”
Genesis 26:22
*The name Rehoboth translates to “broad places” or “room” in Hebrew, signifying a place where there is ample space and opportunity for growth and prosperity.
I believe that the Lord has carefully crafted and designed this season and this moment in time for us. Where we’ve felt held back it’s because He wanted to make sure that we were rightly positioned for this season and that we didn’t launch too soon. This is the moment of our revealing. This is the moment of our launching.
I also felt that the timing of this word coming forth was significant. I believe the month of April represented an open door and entry into this season; the season where we will meet Baal Perazim: the Lord who bursts forth, the Lord of the break-through!
I sense strongly that the Lord wants us to be prepared for the outpouring. The Lord is pressing:
“Will you not make yourself ready my bride?“
I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit how He wishes for you to be aligned with Him; so that you may receive that which is being poured out in this season.
