As I prayed in the early hours of this morning, I felt in my heart to declare that in this season the 'long standing lie' that has stood for years will be torn down and that the TRUTH will be known and proclaimed in its place.
Isaiah 44 v 25-26 " I expose the false prophets as liars and make fools of fortune-tellers. I cause the wise to give bad advice, thus proving them to be fools. But I carry out the predictions of my prophets!"
I saw a small child having a tantrum, with a large man calmly holding the child back with one hand against their head. The child has thrown things everywhere in rage because they can't get their way. I felt in my spirit that this symbolises that the balance of power and authority have not changed despite what it looks like - God still has all power and authority and nothing the enemy does will change that
The word Crocus came to me so I wrote it down to look at later. I looked up information on this flower. This flower thrives in high altitude and a dry, severe climate (where life seems unlikely). The crocus flower is the first flower to bloom near the end of winter, often emerging through late winter snows. As such, it is the first sign of new life before spring arrives. In Israel, the crocuses bloom in every region, but thrive during the fall and dead of winter, in rocky, desert dry places. Isaiah 35:1-2 "The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing"
Lord, we pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and Russia. Bloom and grow, thrive in the harshest climate, radiate hope and joy and rejoicing - a season of new life is coming!!!
