Prophetic Fields

Prophetic Fields, 23rd May 2008

God has taken the habit of using the fields in the back of Wincheap to speak to me... I guess those are the times when I’m most attentive and he jumps in while I’m still listening! Last year, I remember him showing me, through the progression of the stages of growth and harvest, the way in which he is always operating, even when there doesn’t seem to be anything happening for long periods of time, and that is eventually shown in the quantity and quality of the fruit produced, be it fair-coloured hills covered in grain or red, juicy apples that finally get harvested to be put to use.

As I was running yesterday, I noticed that out of the ground that has been looking so arid for the past weeks had sprouted leaves that looked like they might be corn plants, not that I’m a farmer or anything, so I wouldn’t actually know... That resonated in my mind and in my heart, felt like God was saying that fruit is going to come after this period of aridity in my spiritual life... And I am seeing some fruit of his word spoken in my life already, which is really exciting. But I need to be more excited, less apathetic, more ambitious for seeing his promises come to fruition. God doesn’t know how to make small plans, everything works towards his greater plan, to which I have the privilege, along with many others, of being a part.
