Blossoming from the Hard Place
You are My warrior bride. I have gifted you and anointed you to war for My children. You have My heart for healing and deliverance. You know Me as “Rescuer, Savior, Helper, and Friend”. I Am your strength in times of weakness. I Am your hope in the uncertain. You know My faithfulness and you have learned to trust Me even in the darkness. Your faithfulness to Me has not gone unnoticed. I will continue to be your Deliver, Savior, Helper, and Friend. I love you and you will see the fullness of all I promised to you. You will see the water from the rock and beauty from the ashes. I Am your Way Maker.
The almond tree is known as the “Awaking tree”, for it is the first to blossom after the long winter season. It represents God’s word coming to pass.
Water from the rock is God’s provision and faithfulness in the midst of the wilderness.
