Just a short email to send you a word the Lord gave me that I believe is for those who are faithful. I was in my worship time this morning and suddenly I noticed there were roses on the pathway behind me. Our pathway always leads on in front of us, so any roses on the path behind me I assumed lost.  They had been dropped all along the way. As I looked back I saw that the Lord had bent down and was picking one up. He looked so sweet and gentle as He held it so tenderly to His chest.

 

“It is too late for that rose,” I said, “See it is wilted and dying. It has been cut from the branch it cannot live. You might as well just leave it lay on the ground.”

 

But the Lord said, “I can restore it. These fallen roses are your blessings and promises. You thought they were lost. Some have wilted, some have been crushed and some are dried and withered, but I can restore them and re-attach them to your life where they can thrive and live. I never intended them to be lost.”

 

With that He put the long stemmed rose He held in His hand, back in me where it was supposed to be. It became beautiful and fragrant again in full blossom. I couldn’t help but think – ‘and how long will that blossom last. It’s fleeting at best.’ The Lord answered, He understood what I was thinking. “The roses I restore now will not fade or wither. They will stay in full blossom. They will not lose one petal, neither will they turn brown or decay in any way ever again. The roses I restore will remain fresh and in full bloom. It was strife and sin that caused them to be cut but NOW I am going along your path and picking up all the roses you lost to restore them to you.”

 

I watched Him carefully picking up my lost treasures, my blessings and promises that had fallen to the ground. I was amazed that He seemed to be enjoying it so much. I couldn’t help but wonder how long it would take and how things would change because of it. “It won’t take long.” He said, “Though it is a process, it is a NOW process that will be completed quickly. It means your blessings will be restored NOW!”

 

Suddenly I knew He was talking about things like family salvations and care, home, health, weight, finances, ministry, and intimacy with Him. Those were certainly roses that had fallen. I had received a prophecy from a known prophet in India that my time of trouble was over and the Lord was going to bless me. Now the Lord was showing me that these roses had been cut, and some fairly destroyed but He was picking them up and restoring them. Not only that but protecting them. And that the time is NOW!

 

I saw Him resting in the midst of my restored roses enjoying the fragrance for a while. “It will bless me too,” He said, “to restore your blessings and promises. I never intended them to be lost.”

 

Then He showed me clearly that this word wasn’t just for me but others in the body of Christ that were faithful and had been waiting for His break through.

Then when I came to the computer and checked my email there was a word there from the well-known Prophet Kim Clement. He said The Season for Subtraction is over and this summer we enter into the Season of Multiplication. This was a direct confirmation. He began to talk about the season we were coming out of and I remember two nights ago a vision I didn’t understand. I saw this man sized creature that was half man and half insect. But he seemed to be dying. He was thin and much like the half dried shell of an insect. He curled up on the floor in a fetal position next to my bed.

 

When I started to rebuke him, it seemed unnecessary. He was dying. At different times I would catch a glimpse of him drying up and being blown away more and more. Each time I saw him over the next two days there was less and less. I would hear words like spiritual leprosy and the spirit of the locus, which is devouring and destroying. The destroyer that came in like swarms is dying and though he is trying to leave a seed even that is being removed by the hand of the Lord.

 

Then when I read Kim Clements word I knew this was the changing of the seasons. The season of destroying and devouring is over. He used words like locust and leprosy also to describe it, just as I had seen. This creature that attacked the Christians, their homes, families, ministries and churches is finished. This summer is the time for the change to take place. We will go from Subtraction to Multiplication over this summer.

 

So what should you do? Be faithful, read the word, worship and pray daily to release the Lord’s hand to perform this for you. The Lover of your soul, our precious Lord Jesus is restoring the rose He once gave you and now they will be fresh and flourishing.

Amen.

 

A rose - a fragrance sent from Me

Has fallen, has fallen from thee

Along the path the roses lie

Along the path they wither and die

Broken promises in the sand

Forgotten blessings once held in hand

Now they lie so still, the stem cut from branch

How will these dreams and promises, ever have a chance

Fallen, fallen, fallen they lie

Withered, crushed and broken they die

But look what is this I see

The Lover of my soul; gathers them for me

Oh dear sweet Savior tis too late I fear

For broken promises I once held dear

But His smile says so much, as He bends to pick them up

Restoring with the touch of healing from His cup

But still they cannot live my Lord severed from the branch

You must be patient He said and give righteousness a chance

Then sweetly as a lover’s touch, like an artist holds his brush

He put them back in my life rich and full and lush

They will never wither or ever fall again

Or ever lose their fragrance by bitterness or sin

Never will they be cut or their beauty fade

Not a pedal tarnish, not in stem or blade

For I restore you perfectly and it will never fail

I restore your blessings and promises not frail

Your fragrance and your beauty I am gathering right now

Restoring your blessings and surely I know how

I will sit and embrace the fragrance of your love

Pedals soft and sweet; gentle like a dove.

I restore, I will do it, and surely I know how

Rest assured I will finish what I’m beginning in you now

I love you, I love you, I love you, it’s time for you to know

How great My love is for you, as you watch your roses grow

 

 

Please be praying for the upcoming conference I will be ministering in “Embrace the Flame” in Oberlin, Ohio. I expect this to be a time of release for this break through prophecy in me and through me to others. I will be traveling July 17^th and return the 23^rd. The actual conference dates are July 19-21.

 

Coming off a long trip I usually have financial needs. Though the Lord has certainly blessed me I still owe some on this trip and have some outstanding needs to be met. Please keep this in prayer. If you can give support that would be very helpful.

 

Please pray for the Lord to open doors of ministry in the USA too.

 

I am also praying about when to return to France. I know I am supposed to go soon. I just want to move as the Lord directs.

 

Also the Lord has been dealing with me about Africa and I need some clear direction from the Lord concerning this. Please keep this in prayer.

 

Thank you for being my prayer partner and the Lord’s Prayer Partner. It means so much to me and really you cannot minister to the nations effectively without people that partner in prayer as well as people those that give support. I thank you ever so much. I pray for you too. I love to hear from you. Please keep in touch.
