Endorsed

I’m signing off.

In the place of the coming and the going.

In the place of the merry-go-round.

In the place that spins.

In the stormy season.

In the place of the wave after wave.

In the place of the wash.

Awash with my glory.

In the place of the pouring.

In the place that overwhelms.

In the place of submergence, emergence rises.

In the place of the ruling out, I’m ruling you in.

For I am drawing a line on this season.

In the place of the signature move.

In the place of the signing.

In the place of endorsement.

In the place of the signing off, to the place of the signing on.

In the place of the leaving to the place of the cleaving.

Abandon all, hope.

From the place of New Hope to the place of much hope, to more hope, to the arrival of hope, to the manifestation of hope, to the birth of more hope, to the place of confident assurance.

From the place of signing off, to the place of signing on.

For you will find a home here.

For you will make yourself at home.

For you will be welcome here.

For you hear these words over and over, more and more, over and over, more and more.

“Your welcome”

A phrase expressing gratitude for the assistance offered.

An expression of a desire that you are invited, you are desired, you are what they are looking for.

For they will welcome you with open arms.

Will you welcome yourself?

Will you invite yourself?

Will you come over?

Will you be present?

Will you walk through the door I have opened?

Will you accept my endorsement?

For you carry my seal of approval.

For the seed does not assess its value by the quality of the soil it is planted in.

My seed grows in any environment.

I consider the barren womb a suitable place to bring forth my offspring.

For in the leaving you will find yourself.

For in the absence of you will find a new presence, a new confidence.

For you could see it, you could feel it.

Moments of ambivalence, moments of connection, moments of disconnection, moments of indifference, moments of blindness, moments of sight. Shallow moments from those who knew you the longest, deep moments with those who you met for the first time, encouraging moments, moments without momentum, explosive moments of great momentum.

For those with desire.

To those who long for more.

For the thirsty ones, found you so refreshing.

The ones with a heart of stone, absorbed nothing from you, were indifferent to your presence.

When you expressed the depth and breadth of all I had done, they found something else to do, somewhere else to go.

For I have made you to be a double edged sword, dividing bone and marrow, dividing the deep from the shallow.

For I am giving you a totally different sense of self.

A new voice of authority.

A whole new level of influence.

It is time to write that book.

It is time to stand on the stage.

It is time to speak my words with a boldness and authority no one has seen before.

For you shall declare a thing and it shall be done for you.

For it shall be as you declare it.

It is time to be out and about.

It is time to enter in.

It is the season of the open door, the manifestation of the promise, the revelation of that which is to be revealed, the uncovering of that which was hidden, that which was undercover.

It is time to come out of hiding.

It is time to surround and destroy your enemy.

It is time to stop hiding in the winepress, but to come and pour out the new wine.

For this is the season of the outpouring.

For when you have nothing left to give, I am giving you my abundance.

Is this not the manifestation of that which I showed you so long ago?

>The wrung out sponge, with nothing left to pour out. Now filled with your fullness, like a never ending fountain of blessing.

Yes the “well watered garden”

Isaiah 58:11-14

And the Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make strong your bones. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not.

And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations; and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.

If you turn away your foot from [traveling unduly on] the Sabbath, from doing your own pleasure on My holy day, and call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, and honor Him and it, not going your own way or seeking or finding your own pleasure or speaking with your own [idle] words,

Then will you delight yourself in the Lord, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage [promised for you] of Jacob your father; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

For your enemy sought to take you out, but I am personally taking you in.

You mess me up Lord!

For it is time to return from the place of exile.

It is time bring forth my deliverance.

For you are the one they seek.

For you are the one they have been waiting for.

You are the missing piece.

For those you haven’t met are missing you.

Like a dear friend they have not seen for many years you shall be.

Be without hesitation, for you are the manifestation of my desire.

Fully express my fullness.

For in this season you will be the antidote to lack.

The fountain in the desert.

The expression of life in the place of death.

For your work is done here.

For the cicada departs from the place in which it was buried, and is resurrected in a new form, to rise above, to connect with those who are above not beneath.

The butterfly leaves the cocoon.

The bird leaves its nest.

For what is on the other side is so much greater than you could ever imagine.

It is time to leave the season of loss.

It is time to place your foot upon the land of the promise.

For if I have purposed it, it shall stand.

For what you feel right now is the tension between that which birthed you and that which you are now becoming.

For I have cut the cord to that which birthed you.

I have set you free from bondage, from slavery, into the land which I have prepared for you to possess.

For the strength I have given you, shall give birth to confidence, to authority, to boldness, to dominion, to ownership, to the birth of glory, a whole new life, a life of wholeness.

Take the hand of the one who loves you, and possess the land I have promised you from so long ago.

Wear the robe of royalty with humble confidence, without reserve or defensiveness.

For wherever you walk I am giving it to you.
