Step into My Vineyard

JANUARY 1, 2015


I looked and saw that I was standing in the middle of a room - simple, well-lit and pretty. I faced an open doorway, beyond which lay skillfully prepared garden rows - a vineyard with young fresh plants mounted to climb wooden stakes. As I turned my head slightly to the right, the vineyard beyond the doorway began moving in panoramic fashion toward the right. When I moved my head back left, the vineyard returned to its initial position.

I hear the Lord saying:

 "Beloved, be not disheartened or weakened by the disappointments in past seasons. I have strengthened your ankles to walk on the hard places, your hands to fight with boldness, and your mouth to declare My Word in the face of distress.
 
I Am the God of hope. I fill you with joy and peace so that you will be strengthened in your resolve to believe My promises again. Recall that you are a branch grafted into the True Vine. Therefore I have increased the flow of My Spirit to renew your strength. You are refreshed and stimulated to produce vibrant living fruit.
 
Destiny is yet written in your hearts for your attainment. Do not worry that some around you may require a course correction. See, even when one wanders off course, I will search for and find him.
 
Behold, I have enclosed you within My vineyard and your knowledge and understanding shall bud and bloom again with grapes of blessing and renewal.
 
See what I Am displaying before your eyes.
 
 See, I Am opening new opportunities for you to attain the very desires I have reawakened in you.
 
Rise now, and go forth into the vineyard for the blossoms have already opened.
 
 
Psalm 18:20-24 TMB ~ God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together, he gave me a fresh start. Now I’m alert to God’s ways; I don’t take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
