三株蘭花
最近，我做了一個很有意思的夢。就像我被邀請進入別人的房子，但也有一種所有權的感覺--特別是在我被帶去觀看的三株獨立的蘭花方面。仿佛我擁有它們，或者以某種方式對它們負責。
令人難以置信的是，這三株蘭花一個接一個地在同一天開花，每一株都開出了非常大而美麗的花朵。每朵花都有一種特別的香味，仿佛不屬於這個世界。當我把臉埋在一朵蘭花裡，吸著它的香味時，我記得我想，這一定是天堂的味道。這種香味是如此強烈，以至於當我醒來時，我驚訝地發現這不是真的--我一直在做夢！
一個成就的季節
在我祈禱和默想這個夢時，主讓我想起的經文是《耶利米書》1:11-12（擴大版），其中寫道。"耶和華的話又臨到我說：耶利米，你看見什麼？我說：我看見一根杏樹枝。耶和華對我說：你看得不錯；因為我留意[積極]保守我的話，使得成就。"。
我曾多次聽到主說，我們正處於成就的季節。
一個註釋解釋說，這段話中使用的 "符號的詩意""具有精緻的美感......。
"他（耶利米）看到杏樹枝條，開著明亮的粉紅色花朵，長著淡綠色的葉子，與盼望的話語相協調，是早春從冬天的沉悶中升起的象徵。杏樹的名字（這裡是詩意的名字，而不是普通的名字）使這個象徵更有表現力。它是守望者，是'急忙醒過來'（搖醒）的樹，從而表達了神聖的急切，不會拖延其恩典應許的成就，而是如實地發芽、開花、結果。"（見《耶利米書》1:11，《埃利科特英語讀物評論》）
不要放棄還沒有開花的東西
多年來，我養了多株蘭花，尤其記得有一株蘭花至少有三年沒有開花。就在我放棄它並預備把它扔掉的那天，我發現一個新的花穗奇蹟般地出現了。果然，沒過多久，它就開滿了美麗的花朵。
朋友們，不要放棄你還沒有 "開花 "的先知性應許。我有一種感覺，美麗的蘭花植物的夢不是專門為我做的，也不是關於我的，但它代表了所有那些向他人預言盼望的人，和/或收到並管理了同樣的話語。
有三朵花的事實似乎很重要。在聖經中，三通常代表完整、完美或整體的東西，如三位一體的美。在同一天出現的花朵象徵著，的確，我們正處在一個先知性應許開花的 "日子 "或季節，充滿了天堂的芬芳。
一些個人見證
從這個先知性的夢開始，快進到六週前。在這短短的時間裡，我確實開始看到先知性應許的顯現--禱告得到回應--時間跨度近二十年。有一次，個人的醫治在一夜之間發生。一天晚上，我帶著一個持續的身體問題上床睡覺，第二天早上醒來時，我的身體完全得到了明顯的醫治！還有其他的突破。
也有其他的突破，但是到目前為止，最近幾週最大的成就實例是為一個正在進行的涉及土地和繼承權的不公義帶來了神聖的補償，這個不公義已經在我的家族中延續了幾代。多年來，值得信賴的預言家們一次又一次地預言，主將贖回這種情況。如果我說實話，感覺我們可以認同亞伯拉罕和撒拉。似乎太晚了，太晚了，無法看到任何應許的成就。
然後突然間，幾乎是一夜之間，主以一種不符合任何邏輯解釋的方式帶來了成就。它帶來了我們整個42年婚姻中最大的生活變化，我迫不及待地想看到這個令人興奮的新篇章如何展開。
關注榮耀的降臨！
去年春天，一扇意想不到的門打開了，我丈夫接受了我們當地高中的一個助理足球教練職位。總教練是一位堅定的信徒，也是我們的好朋友。有一天，當我為他們禱告時，主開始對我說起《約珥書》第二章。我所聽到的，以及我們所有人所做的有力見證是，主打算利用這個機會將祂的靈澆灌在球隊、教練、學校和整個社區上（見珥2:28-29）。
主繼續就這個看守的話語對我說話。在最近為我們地區祈禱的時候，我聽到了隆隆聲。起初我並不清楚這隆隆聲可能是什麼。是火車、地震還是雷聲？
主再一次讓我想起了《約珥書》，我知道那隆隆聲是主的軍隊。約珥書2:5寫道。"在山頂蹦跳的響聲如車輛的響聲，又如火焰燒碎稭的響聲，好像強盛的民擺陣預備打仗。"
然後我聽到主說："注意我的榮耀的'意外入口'--偏僻的地方、小型會議和聚會、公共場所、學校、醫院、市場--凡是我的人民代表'無牆教會'的地方。
"看著，看著，看著我的榮耀降下！"
Welcome to the Season of Fulfillment

The Three Orchids
Recently, I had an intriguing dream. It was like I was invited into someone else's house, yet there was a sense of ownership as well – particularly in regard to three separate orchid plants which I was taken to view. It was as if I owned them or was responsible for them somehow.
Incredibly, one by one, these three orchids had all bloomed on the same day, each producing one remarkably large and beautiful bloom. Each bloom had an overwhelming fragrance, as if out of this world. As I buried my face in one and inhaled its scent, I remember thinking that this must be the smell of Heaven. The scent was so overpowering that as I awoke, I was surprised to find it wasn't real – I had been dreaming!
A Season of Fulfillment
The Scripture the Lord brought to mind as I prayed and meditated on this dream was Jeremiah 1:11-12 (AMP), which reads: "The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 'Jeremiah, what do you see?' And I said, 'I see the branch of an almond tree.' Then the LORD said to me, 'You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.'"
I have heard the Lord say repeatedly that we are in a season of fulfillment.
A commentary source explains that the "poetry of the symbols" used in this passage "is of exquisite beauty...
"In harmony with words of hope, he [Jeremiah] sees the almond-bough, with its bright pink blossoms and its pale green leaves, the token of an early spring rising out of the dreariness of winter. The name of the almond-tree (here the poetical, not the common, name) made the symbol yet more expressive. It was the watcher, the tree that 'hastens to awake' (shaked) out of its wintry sleep, and thus expresses the divine haste which would not delay the fulfillment of its gracious promise, but would, as it were, bud and blossom, and bear fruit." (see Jeremiah 1:11, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers)
Don't Give Up on What Hasn't Blossomed Yet
I've had multiple orchid plants over the years, and can recall one in particular that hadn't bloomed in at least three years. On the exact day I had given up on it and went to throw it away, I discovered that a new flower spike had miraculously appeared. Sure enough, a short time later it was covered in beautiful blooms!
Friends, don't give up on your prophetic promises that haven't "blossomed." I have a feeling the dream of the beautiful orchid plants was not specifically for or about me, but it was representative of all those who have prophesied words of hope to others, and/or have received and stewarded the same.
The fact that there were three flowers seems important. Three, in Scripture, typically represents something that is complete, perfect or whole, as with the beauty of the Trinity. The blooms appearing all on the same day symbolize that, indeed, we are in a "day" or season for prophetic promises to blossom, replete with the fragrance of Heaven.
Some Personal Testimonies
Fast-forward to six weeks from the time of this prophetic dream. In this short time period, I have literally begun to see manifestations of prophetic promises – and prayers answered – that span almost two decades. In one instance, a personal healing happened overnight. One night, I literally went to bed with an ongoing physical issue and woke up the next morning completely and visibly healed!
There have been other breakthroughs as well, but by far the biggest instance of fulfillment in recent weeks has brought divine restitution to an ongoing injustice involving land and inheritance that has been perpetuated in my family for generations. Over and over again, trusted prophetic voices through the years have prophesied that the Lord would redeem this situation. If I'm honest, it felt like we could identify with Abraham and Sarah. It seemed far, far too late to see any fulfillment of the promise.
Then suddenly, practically overnight, the Lord brought fulfillment in a way that defied any logical explanation. It is bringing the biggest life change in our entire 42 years of marriage, and I can't wait to see how this exciting, new chapter unfolds.
Watch for the Glory to Fall!
An unexpected door opened last spring for my husband to accept an assistant football coaching position at our local high school. The head coach is a strong Believer and also a good friend of ours. One day as I was praying for them, the Lord began to speak to me from Joel 2. What I heard, and what we all bore strong witness to, was that the Lord intended to use this opportunity to pour out His Spirit on the team, the coaches, the school and the whole community (see Joel 2:28-29).
The Lord has continued to speak to me regarding this word of watching. In a recent time of prayer for our region, I heard a rumbling. At first it wasn't clear to me what this rumbling might be. Was it a train, an earthquake or possibly thunder?
Once again the Lord brought Joel 2 to mind, and I knew the rumbling was the army of the Lord. Joel 2:5 (ESV) reads: "As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle."
Then I heard the Lord say, "Watch for 'surprise entry portals' for My glory – out-of-the-way places, small meetings and gatherings, public locations, schools, hospitals, the marketplace – wherever My people are representing the 'church without walls.'
"Watch, watch, watch for My glory to fall!"
