*Making the MOST *
*Of your Spring Season in God*
*3-20-05*
 
Today is the first day of Spring
 
What is a springtime season in God like?
Season of new life~/new possibility
·                    Doesn’t always follow calendar year
·                    Window of opportunity over GHC in natural
 
I believe we’re in a spring time season in GHC in natural
·                    And spiritual
·                    Started 2005 – with Window of Opportunity Word
·                    I believe Window of Opportunity – turning of seasons over us
·                    In natural in GHC
·                    In spiritual as well
·                    Recap opportunity~/possibility
·                    FIRST sermon:  winter season in God – there’s life in the tree
·                    Sarah Eddy Scripture this summer
·                    Believe we as a church are in a spring season in God
 
Been meditating on what it means to be in a ‘spring season’ in God
 
Title:  “Making the MOST of your Spring Season in God”
 
Spring seasons in life
·                    Windows of Opportunity
 
Song of Songs 2:10-14 “Rise up, my beloved, my fair one, and come away.
For the winter is past, and the rain is over and gone.
The flowers are springing up, and the time of singing birds has come, even the cooing of turtledoves.
The fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom.
How delicious they smell!
Yes, spring is here!
Arise, my beloved, my fair one, and come away.
.. .
Let me see you; let me hear your voice.
For your voice is pleasant, and you are lovely.”
Paints picture of spring time
·                    Life springing forth
·                    Buds~/blossoms
 
Weaved into picture of Spring
·                    Voice of bridegroom to the Bride
·                    Come away with me
·                    Explain – bridegroom picture of Jesus – calling to us – come away
·                    I believe in this Spring time, the voice of Jesus is calling to this church
·                    Come away with me
·                    Come aside from the norm
·                    I want to be with my people
·                    And speak my words of LOVE into your heart
·                    I want to be with YOU in this spring season
·                    And WIN your heart
·                    And see the FRUIT of my promise blossom in YOUR lives
·                    Arise – come away
 
Come aside in this spring season
·                    Let me see you
·                    Let me hear YOUR voice
 
God’s pursuing heart in the midst of spring season
·                    Think about it
·                    God’s heart pursuing US in the midst of this time
·                    Develop
·                    We need to allow ourselves  to LISTEN for the voice of the King in this season.
·                    We need to ‘come away with HIM’ in this time
·                    So that HE can pour HIS promise into our lives
 
If you miss His pursuing heart
·                    You can miss the window of opportunity
 
 
So let’s look at this analogy of spring time a little closer
·                    And see how it reflects our relationship with God
 
*Elements of the ‘Spring Season’*
Buds~/Blossoms
·                    The promise of new life in the natural
·                    New fruit – new plants
·                    WithIN the fruit is The very SEED that will sustain you in the next season
·                    TOMMORROW’S provision – released in seed form to us today
 
In Spirit
·                    Buds~/Blossoms:  New promises coming to our lives
·                    New hope
·                    Maybe you’ve been battling for a victory in an area of your life
·                    In a spring time, lots of times we receive the PROMISE of the harvest in its FIRST STAGE
·                    The FIRST STAGE of promise is birthed in our lives.
·                    Nancy and I – back in Spokane on a trip
·                    Can’t explain it – before we purchased our first home
·                    God began to speak of that promise of something on its way.
·                    Nothing in the natural had changed – but in the Spirit, we sensed – the promise is coming
·                    Sense of Expectancy – new possibility
·                    Beginning to dream  (it was absurd – in ministry – part-time jobs – low pay – but GOD came thru in an AMAZING way!)
 
Ever have a time when the DREAMS of vision start budding in your heart
·                    All of the sudden you have a dream for a new potential
·                    Something you never thought of before.
·                    Practical example: . .
.
Blossom season
·                    Beautiful
·                    Can be fragrant
·                    Apple Blossom festival.
But blossoms by themselves do NOT guarantee fruit
 
Need to pollinated in this season
·                    Intermixing
 
The Seed needs to be Pollinated
          •       inter-mixing
          •       Giving something away to someone else
          •       Receiving something in you
          •       Creates a whole NEW DNA within you
          •       God has put a dream in your heart -- but if the bud of the flower is closed to receiving the pollen -- you won’t reproduce
          •       Hoarding spirit
          •       Not giving
          •       Think -- I have so little -- why would I give out
          •       Poverty spirit
          •       But in giving -- you receive.
