Before the flowers bloom

I have lights! Yay! It is snowing and sleeting here but I have lights. Praise the Lord!! Today’s word comes from Philemon, Ruth and Esther.

I am going to write it exactly how He gave it. Please take this Word before the Lord to ensure it is for you. We only prophesy in part and we only know in part. Not every word is for everyone but you will know because this will be confirmation and certain catch phrases that He will have His people use that have been specifics in your prayers.

I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers. I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective and powerful because of your accurate knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ. I have had great joy and comfort and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you. I could order you to do what is appropriate yet for love’s sake I appeal to you. I do not want to do anything without first getting your consent, so that your goodness would not be by compulsion but of your own free will. I am sending him back to you in person, that is, like sending my very heart. Once he was useless to you, but now he is indeed useful to you as well as to me. Perhaps it was for this reason that he was separated from you for a while, so that you would have him back forever. He is no longer a slave but a brother, especially dear to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord as a fellow believer. So if you considered me a partner, welcome and accept him as you would me. If he has wronged you in any way or owes you anything charge that to my account, I will repay in full (not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well). I am confident of your obedient compliance, since I know that you will do even more than I ask.

He is my chosen for you. This is when He led me to Esther and talked about the signet ring. Both of you have been chosen for such a time as this.

May the Lord repay you for your kindness and may your reward be full from the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge. Listen carefully, do not go to another. May you be blessed by the Lord, my daughter. You have made your last kindness better than the first, for you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. Now, my daughter, do not be afraid. I will do for you whatever you ask, since all my people in the city know that you are a woman of excellence. Sit and wait, my daughter, until you know how this matter turns out; for the man will not rest until he has settled it today. – Ruth

Some of the Kingdom marriages have been delayed because they too were in the valley of decisions. There was an evil one that attempted to sway them. Some of these men or women are prodigals and have strayed from the Lord but they are coming back. Your separation was necessary in order for you both to learn from past mistakes so they would not be repeated. God may have told you a name, a very specific person and some of these unions would be very unlikely, as to what is expected. None of this will be like you expect but better. God wants to give you a heart that will forever be entwined with yours and with His. A three cord strand is harder to break. Some of these marriages will be so unexpected that people will think you’re crazy. God has told me many will be single one day and married the next. Some will be moving geographically and if God has told you this start packing as an act of faith. You know what He has told you. Stand firm in your faith knowing that God is not a man that can lie. Resist anyone but who God has put in your heart. That is the warning from Ruth. There will be some that will try and return that God has told you is not for you. Pay attention to Him. He will tell you everything and then He will confirm it. Get ready!! Before the flowers bloom and then He gave me Esther 3 and it speaks of the month of Nisan ( March-April) about when our flowers bloom in Spring. Be excited! You’re getting married! You’re moving to a new territory. I am so excited for you! Congratulations!! Enjoy and have fun!
