There is fresh dew on the leaves, yet many branches remain parched for want of this life-giving water, as they are still looking to yesterday’s rain to satisfy their thirst. And so these branches have already begun to wither some, though they do not yet perceive their need. For like a malady borne in the air, where one’s health is weakened because their lungs have filled with an odorless pathogen, these limbs are becoming brittle and sickly, as they have been immersed much too long in a stale atmosphere.
Although the Son continues to shine upon them, unless these branches sip from the “new” I am pouring out in this season, they shall then remain in a wilted state. For while the old waters may help sustain them, they shall lack the inner resilience to promote any real growth. Then like stunted twigs whose development was hindered, those who refuse to drink from this fresh outpouring of heavenly waters shall never become the strong boughs I intended them to be, for what was imparted in the past no longer carries the same level of supernatural power, which is why any who still seek the former things will miss what I am doing in this present generation.
However, in My Kingdom, though its soil is fertile with ancient seeds, those planted in this ground can only know renewal once they have shed the dead leaves of the past, and reach out for the divine flow I am currently establishing; as I am always on the move, leading those who would follow beyond the plains of yesterday, into the wide open space of tomorrow, where a steady supply of this life-giving water abounds.
Therefore, those branches that are still found gleaning from the past (those who see no reason for change), shall remain in a spiritual rut, reliving what I had previously done instead of enjoying the “new” I am bringing forth in this season. You who have chosen to stubbornly dig your heels into this ground will soon sense the spiritual dryness that has already set in, for how can any branch expect different results when it is no longer receiving the nutrients vital to maintain its inner development?
Then do not deceive yourselves into thinking that there is nothing more to being one of My children than your current experience as a believer, as new encounters of My Presence are boundless.
So don’t be like the complacent, who drink from the waters of stagnation, for these have settled into a position of limitation. But you who are wise (as those who flow with divine understanding), see the direction I am headed, and adjust your internal posture in keeping with what I am doing now. For if you continue onward with Me, then, in due time, you shall know a fresh enlivening in the depths of your soul.
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” -Isaiah 43:18-19
