The Blue Rose

On Saturday during revival meeting, during the worship, Holy Spirit showed me a picture of a blue rose. I almost discarded the vision cos i figured out that blue roses dun exist... until of course i was reminded of it again yesterday while i was on my com and i received a prompting to actually check out what it meant... so i went to answers.com...

according to wikipedia, "Blue roses traditionally signify mystery or attaining the impossible. They are believed to be able to grant the owner youth or grant wishes."

and then God began to unpack a lesson for me regarding the blue rose... a blue rose is actually a white rose but so soaked and thoroughly permeated by the blue dye... and weeks back, God's been showing me a white rose... and a white rose speaks of purity and virtue... and it's about God's call not just for me but i believe for this generation to live a life of purity first... and when we are that white rose in God's hands, He begins to change us into the blue rose.. on their own, there is nothing in the roses that can make them blue.. it has to come from an external influence.. and it speaks of the Holy Spirit coming upon us in power to do the impossible... to take us beyond ourselves and natural limitations... beyond our failures, inadequacies, weaknesses, etc... How God transforms us and changes our lives from what we once were... and changes our makeup that we'd be living signs and wonders...

Blue represents something heavenly and divine.. and the blue roses are the white roses who come under the power, influence and overshadowing of the Holy Spirit... who yield themselves to God with pure, holy lives and then the Holy Spirit comes upon them in power and revelation to bring forth something which is impossible...

Blue also represents revelation... and i remember during last Friday's Gatekeepers, i proclaimed a decree over the ministry that we will be a people of revelation! And that co-relates not just to us receiving that revelation of the Lord but being the expression of that very same revelation... us, His people, living and releasing the expression of His will and His heart on earth... we are made for signs and wonders.. that's what are lives are.. they're a sign to our generation that God is the God who makes all things possible!

So perhaps like me you had a vision of the blue rose and you thought that blue roses dun exist! And so you may have discarded it... perhaps God has shown you great things about your future but you look at all your mistakes and failings you say that it's impossible and you discard it... perhaps the Holy Spirit has sown in you a vision to see the church grow and multiply.. even by the end of the yr.. and you say that's impossible and you discard it.. perhaps God even put a desire within your heart to contend for the manifestations of signs and wonders but you say that's impossible and you discard it... just because it looks impossible doesnt mean that it's not gonna happen.. if God is behind it, He will see it to pass... and as with the message of the blue rose, He's restoring and rekindling all those visions that we've once left behind and thought impossible...

we can't be restricted any more by our old outdated paradigms and mindsets of unbelief.. God's been teaching me recently to aim for greater things... to see that nothing is impossible for Him!to ask, seek and knock until i see it happen... with our hearts we believe and with our mouths we are saved... all we need is believe in what He's gonna do and confess it out.. and by our confession, we see that things are gonna change around us...

"Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth. " Ps 110:3 NIV

"Your people shall be volunters in the day of Your power; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth." Ps 110:3 NKJV

i already have the dew of my youth.. they're gonna be willing to move in the day of His power.. they're gonna stand fast and see the salvation of the Lord and they're gonna see the power of the Kingdom of God move in their schools, campuses, workplaces, communities, etc... they're gonna live and walk holy, free from the grip of this world... and from that place of purity, they shall be released into a place of power!

God seal this message within your hearts! :)
God bless! :D
