The Budding Vineyard
“Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flower’s whispers, “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now, is the time to arise and come away with me. For you are my dove, hidden in the split-open rock. It was I who took you and hid you up high in the secret stairway of the sky. Let me see your radiant face and hear your sweet voice. How beautiful your eyes of worship and lovely your voice in prayer. You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together.” Song of Songs 2
In order for this new day to break forth we must take the seeds of truth Jesus is speaking to us about who we are and plant them in the ground. We all know enough about plants to know when you put seeds in soil you can’t just forget about them. You must be intentional in watering the seeds. How do you practically apply this to what Jesus is speaking to you? You bring them back to Him in conversation. Ask Him questions. Worship Him. Pouring your heart out in worship to Him for who He is brings answers to our questions.
As you continue to water the seeds of the Kingdom you will begin to see these budding vines break forth. Seed, time and harvest is an important part of who we are at The Wilderness Place. Yahweh birthed our logo from this concept. The seed is the acorn. In this acorn is many, many oak trees. We heard the voice of Yahweh say plant yourself here in this land at 208 Pass Rd. Put the acorn in the ground and water it. As a family here at TWP, we have watered and been intentional about caring for His words of life to us. We are beginning to see the seedling of baby oaks rising up out of the ground. We are getting stronger in His presence and by His voice. Our trees are Oaks of Righteousness, each person (family) who has planted themselves here are those Oaks planted by Yahweh’s design. One of the words Yahweh gave us in the beginning is from Isaiah 61:4, “they will be known as Mighty Oaks of Righteousness, planted by Yahweh as a living display of his glory. They will restore ruins from long ago and rebuild what was long devastated. They will renew ruined cities and desolations of past generations.”
We are already beginning to see the promises of ruins and desolations of the past be restored in our area. It is truly remarkable what Jesus is doing in our community.
Each mighty oak planted becomes the shade of abundance and refreshment for the next generation to play in. The acorn seed you planted grows to produce more acorns (our children) and they will only know beloved identity from the very beginning because it’s all they’ve seen from us. They will continue to produce Oaks of Righteousness for thousands of generations. This is the reward of His suffering. A world restored and redeemed by beloved sons and daughters who are planted by His design. This is why understanding you are His beloved is so important.
Can you not discern? It’s a new day for the budding to break forth. He is letting us know in this passage we are His beloved and He is ours so we can face anything when we are walking in our true identity. There will be troubling foxes, but we will face them with Jesus.
Beloved, go forth today in who you are. Immensely loved by the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Dance your way through the day and spring forth life for those around you.
