EMERGING
FROM THE COCOON
ADULT
After
about 14 days, the adult Monarch butterfly emerges from
its now transparent cocoon. As the butterfly struggles
to get free, the restricting cocoon and the tiny opening
force blood from the body to inflate the wings. When
this is done, the Monarch expels any excess fluid and
rests. The butterfly waits until its wings stiffen and
dry before it takes its first flight.

DREAM: I
was inside some kind of a shell or cocoon and ready to
come out. I saw Bob Jones and he said he could hear me
knocking.

HEARD:
Little one, I understand your misgivings. Blessed ones
waiting for God. Soon off comes the cover. Can hardly
wait to see your expression. I've planned this surprise
for a long time! One you will love. My bride. New cover.
Snug fit. Waiting in barn. Stripes. Healed. Butterfly.
Happy flying. Open wide your doors and the King of glory
will come in.
VISION:
I saw some Monarch Butterflies flying up from the
ground.

HEARD:
The veil was lifted.
VISION:
I saw myself lifting my hands over my head as though to
peal off a sweater.
HEARD:
Carried you through. To the other side. Keep your focus
on Me. I AM your Source. Nothing else matters except
what I AM saying. Lean, My precious child. Just trust.
VISION:
I saw a box upon the top shelf with the lid slightly
open. A word popped out that read, "RELAX."
HEARD:
Just relax. Enjoy the process. Wings. Trying to decide
what to do. Let them dry. Naturally. In the wind. I love
you today and always. Always is a long, long, time.
HEARD
SONG: We will rest, rest, rest in the Lord. In His
timing He will tell us what to do, where to go and what
to say.
VISION:
I saw a butterfly with its wings on a wall. Then I saw
myself flapping my new wings like a butterfly. (funny!)
============
PARABLE:
Butterflies rest with their wings closed.

WORD TO
PONDER CLIMBING OUT OF HIDING
You
wrestle and struggle within the confinements of your
hidden faith. It is in that place that the womb of your
cocoon grows transparent and those around you can see
the issues that I have been working on in your life. You
struggle the most to be set free at this time because I
have given you such a strong desire to share what I have
given you. Always understand that if I were to pry open
your cocoon and thrust you out, you would not have the
strength to soar, for your faith would miss an important
stage in your transition. Do not fret, in the fullness
of time you will find your way out of your cocoon. I
will send your opportunities that will draw your heart
to begin the process.
As you
emerge, greatly changed, you will climb out of your
cocoon and faithfully wait upon a limb of faith.
Dearest, you need not fuss about a thing. Your wings
will need a little time to dry and be set in place. I
shall strengthen your faith as I blow My wind upon you.
As you see opportunities knocking on your door, do not
feel pushed. Know that I AM gently knocking to get your
attention. I will use these to set your wings. Relax in
this process for I AM God and I know how to take care of
My new butterfly.
"I
beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And
do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is
that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Rom
12:1-NKJV)
