A crown of beauty instead of ashes

I believe this new season I'm stepping into is a season of healing and restoration. Last night at Burning Man Ministries they had a night of healing and I went up for physical healing but didn't feel any change at all. So I left from the "physical healing section" and went to talk to one of the ladies there. She prayed something over me that I didn't understand so I felt a little weird about that. I felt as though she was rejecting me in a nice way. So I went to sit on this couch in the back of the room, right there, without anyone praying for me or anything I felt God's presence come. I felt Him confronting me with my feelings of rejection and a series of attacks that I always get in my sleep. I felt as though He was highlighting this area in my heart, so a couple people recognized this as well and started praying for me. One lady had a vision of a female eagle who had her wings by her side as if she wanted to stretch them out a little but was afraid because every time she would spread her wings someone or something would wound her badly. On the inner parts of her wings she had wounds and scars and every time she would try and stretch them out she would see some feathers falling out so she would quickly put them back at her side. But the Lord was telling the eagle/ me to spread my wings as wide as they could be stretched so that he could start the healing work. This was my broken and contrite heart saying "yes" to Him. That so touched my heart because I had felt that exact way for so long and felt the Lord calling me out of that place of hurt, rejection, and sorrow into a place of freedom, deliverance, and joy. 

After some much needed prayer a man told me he was reminded of a story in the bible where a certain character had so much power/ authority to cause so much destruction but that he could've easily turned that around and done something extraordinary for God. This man told me "Many are called but few are chosen, and you are one of the few chosen ones that is going to lead this generation to God." He said I have a similarity with that bible character but I have to choose to step up to the opportunity and lead the church into restoration and not destruction. And so the healing process goes on, it's up to me to keep going back to the healer until I'm completely healed, and I will be.

So this season of restoration, healing, renewal, and refreshing has come! Finally! Oh how incredible to feel this supernatural power of and All- Powerful, Almighty God! This is the season that this one lady in the Prophecy Rooms was talking about, a time where Jesus was reaching into my heart and making everything new, I am going to be a new person after He completes the work. He is the master surgeon after all and I can't wait to have my new heart!


      Song of Solomon 2:11-12

11 Look, the winter is past;

       the rains are over and gone.
 12 Blossoms appear through all the land.
       The time has come to sing;
       the cooing of doves is heard in our land.
