Consider the Almond, the tree. A symbol of watchfulness, a new beginning, an awakening, the first blossoming and fruitful season, divine leadership, and a swift fullfillment of God’s Word. Aaron's budding rod blossomed and produced ripe almonds overnight serving as a divine proof of God's chosen leadership. “Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an Almond tree.  Then the Lord said unto me, thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.” 

   Consider the Almond, the seed. It encompasses and possess everything it needs to become the glorious tree it was created to be. Every leaf, branch, blossom, fruit, root, trunk, and ability to photosynthesize is housed in that seed. But, it has to be watered and nurtured properly. There is no trace of the past. It only holds the future.

This is the season of New Beginnings. You cannot put new wine into old wineskins, or the skin will burst. The wineskin’s inner and outer layer must be boiled and scraped of ALL OF THE FLESH and hair. It is scrubbed and washed to become pliable. Any holes must be sealed. The new wineskin preserves the vessel and the wine. So, let your past go and be clean. You are My appointed leadership, agents of change. I have put in you and sealed you with EVERYTHING you need that pertain to life and Godliness. This is a season of divine authority. You are blossoming with fruitful words in this season.  Listen, be mindful of what you say. Be mindful of what you say about others, friend or foe. You will walk in what you say. Everything I have spoken concerning You; I am hastening my Word to perform it. 

   You are who God says you are. It is up to you and your responsibility to bring yourself up to the level of His Word.

​

This is the Word from the Lord.
