Word of the Day
Beloved, as you rise and fly in the current of My mighty wings, you will have sight into My realm of goodness and glory—into My realm of thinking and doing. For I have called you to collect pollen and take it from place to place. The deposits you share will make it possible for gardens to bloom in the lives of others. What you have, they need.
However, you cannot do this with old mind sets or when you believe what others have said about you or to you. As your cocoon dries up and becomes only a faint memory you will indeed be free.
For without pollen, without the deposits of My goodness I have placed in you, many would stay in their bound-up cocoons way past the necessary time. The right amount of time produces one like you, while excessive time destroys hope. As you dispense the sweet pollen of My nectar into the lives of others, self-reproach will be removed, and I will remove the reproach of men upon their lives. What I have done for you I will do for them. What I have given you I will give to them.
I will cause you to light in places where you will collect much pollen and revelation. You will then process it through your own unique personality and giftedness to make what others need. There are many who will best receive what I want to give them through you more than anyone else. Therefore, divine appointments and situations are being arranged. Gardens in need of your pollen are being made ready for you. Have faith and do not be afraid, it is all beyond what you imagined you would do for Me. You receive from Me and I establish. I determine and you obey with the full understanding that I am the one who does it through you and for you.
Beloved, drink continually from the nectar of communion with Me in order to come in and go out of My presence with the necessary pollen to produce in like kind. Comfort as you have been comforted, My butterfly (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Soar the lofty heights among realms of intricately woven places of glory and share in all I am and called you to be (2 Thessalonians 2:14). Like the eagle you must rise and faint not. Behold I do a new thing (Isaiah 42:9; Isaiah 43:19). The best is here, the best is yet to come. Now arise and open your wings. Yes, open your wings and dare to fly.
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired” (Isaiah 40:31 Amplified)
“Who satisfies your mouth [your necessity and desire at your personal age and situation] with good so that your youth, renewed, is like the eagle’s [strong, overcoming, soaring]!” (Psalms 103:5 Amplified)
Prayer
Lord, I agree with You and stretch my wings. The very essence of who You made me to be is awakening like the rising of the dawn. This is a new day, and I embrace it. I give You all my excuses. I lay aside every hindrance. I receive restoration of all things stolen from me. Keep my heart ever close to You. Let me feel the movement of Your wind beneath my wings as I fly into my purpose and destiny. I will take the sweetness deposited in me, sharing it with those who are still sleeping.
Draw me continually into Your presence to receive. Never let me forsake My time with You in favor of leftover strands and filaments of my old cocoon. Let it blow away, never to be revisited. I receive divine appointments and circumstances without fears of inadequacy for I am one who expresses You in a unique and beautiful way. I come into Your presence and I drink deeply. Fill me, enable me, comfort me, and I will do likewise (2 Corinthians 1:4). The best part of my life is now and to come. Old things have passed away and gardens are prepared to drink from and to impart to. The best is here. I am free and I open my wings to fly. I am flying. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Write a devotion of acceptance, of agreement with all He has said. You can start it with these words, “I am . . . .”
2. Once you have completed this, take the time to read it out loud as often and you can.
3. As you read this love letter, what do the words freedom and awakening mean to you?
4. Who had the Lord put on your heart in particular? Have you been willing to do what He is asking, what He is showing you to do? Maybe you are the only one who can. Ponder and respond.
5. Reflect on what it means to have the Lord’s sight, to see above the circumstance.
6. Reflect on being His butterfly soaring like an eagle and with the grace that entails.
I am moving in Your garden with strong wings to realize my lofty dreams and aspirations.
I am empowered by Your enabling grace when I become available to share with others the joy of Your glory!
I am the little butterfly in Your beautiful garden. You are the big and strong wings beneath my little wings.
When moments of doubt and loneliness engulfed me, I looked with envy how freely You beautiful butterfly can roam in God’s garden of peace.
As you co-habitate with the sweet scented flowers while you feed on the nectar of love, life is perfect in all its simplicity. I wish I were a butterfly, free to fly, free to roam and smell the roses without fear. Oh Sweet Jesus of Infinite compassion and mercy embrace me. Holy Spirit indwell in me. May I have the joy of peace that transcends my human understanding.
