Solomon’s Garden Season
A few weeks ago the Lord suddenly spoke the words “you have entered Solomon’s garden”. After hearing this I visited a church that had dedicated 12+ hours a day for several weeks to constant prayer and worship. Standing up to speak, saturated in the presence of God, I gazed around the room and perceived enormous flowers in the spirit filling the room like a garden. They were as tall as the people in the room. At that moment I understood that the church had already entered the place of their hopes and were spiritually standing in their harvest field.
What can you expect to find in “Solomon’s Garden”?
- Solomon’s Garden is a place of encounter.
“How pleasing is your fragrance; your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils. No wonder all the young women love you! Take me with you; come, let’s run! The king has brought me into his bedroom. How happy we are for you, O king. We praise your love even more than wine. How right they are to adore you.”
Song of Songs 1:3-4 NLT
Persistently the Hand Of God knocks on the doors of hearts seeking to gain entrance. Knock, knock, knock. His gentle knock is accompanied by the beckoning of that still small voice drawing hearts to desire more.
The Father’s love, the love of Christ and brotherly love mark this season inspiring new alliances which will birth Heavenly plans.
An invitation has gone out drawing you into greater depths where you see Him clearly, hear His voice loudly and know Him with certainty. You are living in the moment you’ve hoped for! “Take me with you; come, let’s run!”
- In Solomons Garden the beauty of His works surround us.
“How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful! Your eyes are like doves. You are so handsome, my love, pleasing beyond words! The soft grass is our bed; fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house, and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.”
Song of Songs 1:15-17 NLT
Consider your surroundings. Look in every direction and observe that you are blanketed by favor and surrounded by the beauty of His faithfulness. You are blessed!
- Solomon’s Garden is a staging area for your “next”.
“My lover said to me, “Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one! Look, the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone. The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air.”
Song of Songs 2:10-12 NLT
Recently while on a prayer assignment in Washington DC I was in a prayer room with a powerful group of intercessors warring against a relentless spirit of witchcraft which had entered to try and defy God’s plans. I watched in the spirit while a husband and wife from New York began to take authority over it. As the wife prayed I saw a giant hammer strike an enormous tent peg into the ground with great force right in the center of our prayer circle. “Whack”! The action repeated itself several times while she prayed. I could actually feel the striking force of the hammer. I discovered later that the couple pastored a church in Queens and were nearing the end of a prayer assignment given by Apostle Chuck Pierce which sent them all over New York striking tent pegs into the ground claiming territory for the Kingdom of God! The three of us were astonished and blessed by my vision. Until that moment they had focused so intently on the assignment that they had not stopped to witness the power breaking forth as a result.
A completed work has taken place in your lives and even in the lives of those around you and many are ready for more, ready for the “next”!
- Solomon’s Garden is a place of refreshing for the adventure ahead.
“You are as exciting, my darling, as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.”
Song of Songs 1:9 NLT
Hearing His voice, feeling His heart, speaking His words, moving with His Spirit will become the driving force of your lives. Jesus is our obsession.
- It is a site of new beginnings.
“Awake, north wind! Rise up, south wind! Blow on my garden and spread its fragrance all around. Come into your garden, my love; taste its finest fruits.”
Song of Songs 4:16 NLT
The delightful fragrance of bread baking in the oven is sensed prior to our eyes gazing upon the finished product. Fragrance appeals to the senses guiding us to the next step which is to partake. A fragrance indicates you are getting close to something wonderful.
The north and the south winds are working on your behalf. One is a drenching stormy rain while the other brings the heat of the sun. Together they contrive new life.
Sometimes the force of the wind has felt violent, even distracting.
The fragrance of the fulfillment of your prayers, hopes and dreams is wafting through the air even now.
6.Solomon’s Garden is connected to revival.
“All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You.”
