Emerge!

“The season to Emerge is approaching!”

Cicada Sketch from my journal

In the days leading to the New Year 2022, I had a series of visions and dreams which I am led to share in the order on which the Lord presented them to me.

CICADA:

I had a dream where I saw the word Cicada. The word was written in white capital letters and they shined brightly against a dark night sky as the background. I heard the word being spoken clearly and I repeated it thinking, I know what this word means and I know what a cicada is, but what are you trying to tell me God? At that moment I heard the word being repeated clearly with a solid pronunciation and I could see how the word shining brightly against the night sky.

SAMARA:

Then suddenly, I heard the word “Samara”. I did not see the actual word but I heard it. I remember thinking “Lord, how do you write it?” And I heard Him say “SAMARA” again and I immediately woke up.

When I sought the Lord, He led me to meditate on what I already knew about Cicadas and I as did, He expanded on what He had shown me.

He asked “What is a Cicada?” Well a Cicada is an insect that lives underground feeding from the sap of the roots of trees for years (1-17 years) until their appointed time to come out to the surface, go through the process of metamorphosis (which depending on the variety it can take up to 5 cycles), they shed their old shells and emerge with new wings and a loud voice- singing their mating (Love) song that can be heard across the land and is often considered a nuisance to some. They sing for Love! It is said that when the Cicada finds their love they croon together and make a beautiful harmonious sound that can be heard at long distances! Cicadas symbolizes resurrection, new birth, transformation and inner change. They are known mostly for the loud voices that can not be silenced.

“To Those who have heard my call…”

“You heard My call to join me in the Secret place, and you have been in the hiding place with Me. In the deep, you have been feeding from My roots. Underground, under my cover in My stillness you have separated yourself from the chaos and the loud noises this world creates as it engulfs the senses and deafens the ears of My people. I called to you to the deep, to separate yourself from the ways of man and from the ways of religion. You listened and you have met Me there!”

“In My stillness, I gave you rest and tended to your heart. I have healed your wounds and strengthen you. There, I prepared you for the new season.”

“During this time, while you were spending time by my side, some people didn’t understand what you were going through. They thought you were being distant and assumed you had lost your way… They thought that you had stopped seeking me. But the truth is that you were seeking Me in secret. Spending time in My Presence.”

“This time was appointed by Me! This was a time to heal… a time to rest… a time to deprogram what was programed by the old ways dictated by religion, human ideals and agendas in order to restore you to the original plan I’ve had for you and reveal new and exciting things! Look at you now! By My side, you have grown so much during this time!”~

“Those that have answered my calling to retrieve. Those that have taken the time to go in the place of solitude, in the place of stillness, in the secret place where I abide. Those that remained deeply rooted in Me and have trusted the process of being purged and cleansed of old ideals and religious agendas. Those that have humbled themselves and taken the time listen to My voice, reflect and make necessary changes… Those that saw the error of their ways and truly repented and transformed their ways with the transformation and renewing of their minds…” (Isaiah 4:22-24)

“Those that surrendered all in this process and have dedicated All to Me… during this season like the CICADA will be emerging to the surface, shedding their old shells (skin)- Changed - Filled with new vitality, new strength, equipped with a loud Love song that will be heard loud and clear through the distance and across the land. They will be singing the Song of My Love- the Song of My Heart!” (James 4:10)

As I am writing this, the Lord is describing this song as a fresh melody for the heart and the spirit! A song that will speak of our beloved Jesus Christ! The voices that will be emerging will be delivering the Word of God in a fresh new way… Like a beautiful choir that lifts the spirits and brings about Peace, Love and Joy!

“They hear My voice; I know them and they follow Me!” (John 10:27)

“You will be emerging strong and bold! Your voices will be heard even by those who didn’t believe in you… even by those who disregarded you… those that thought of you as being nuisance or an irritant. Like a CICADA your voice will be loud and will not be silent.”

“Everything that I taught you in the deep secret place- everything that I gave you in the place of surrender - Everything I revealed in the stillness of My hiding place will be spoken through you and it will be heard.”

“Everything that you received while you were deeply rooted in Me, will emerge with you and it will be manifested and I Will Be With You!

I will sing with you and through you!

Together we will harmonize My Love song and others will hear My call to draw closer to Me.

They will know Me for who I AM.

I AM that I AM.

I AM the lover of their souls.

The Eternal Father! The Prince of Peace!

I AM everlasting ABBA whose love is pure and holy.

My love can not be compared to no other!

And they shall too receive.

And the shall too be healed and restored- Made New.”

Many were called but few were willing to set aside their own plans.

“I have called many of my children to the secret place. I have called them away from the stage, from the public, yet very few have listened and responded with trust and obedience.”

“Those that have not responded feel that the world and/or man are needed to receive or achieve what they were called to be."

“BUT I AM who gives it ALL.

I AM The Provider of All that is Good.

All that is Pure.

All that is Perfect.

All that is Holy.

I AM the One who fulfills of your needs.

I AM the only One who can satisfy your thirst.”

“Some need the spotlight in the arena of life. They are so engaged in maintaining their titles, their positions that when they hear My call into the Secret Place and realize that it will require them to step away from it all- they ignore the call or they procrastinate to the point of failing to respond."

“They exclaim “Lord let me do this first…” or “Lord I have a couple of things to wrap up…”

They are like the two men mentioned in the Bible. The young master who did not want to give up his wealth nor status (Luke 18:22) and the one who wanted to wait until he finished the burial of his father. (Luke 9:59)”

“I have invited them to join Me, to spend time with Me in the hiding place, one on one to receive all that is needed for this season - Yet sadly, many can’t let go of the trappings and they have given a death ear to My call.”

“Those who have heard my voice and have responded to my call into the hiding/secret place with Me, have been filled with My peace, My serenity, My joy and they have been refreshed! They have received new direction and new insight! They are prepared and like CICADAS they will emerge from the deep and Sing My Love Song to the beat of My Heart, in tune with My will for all to hear across the land! This New Song of Love will shift the atmosphere and provoke a new revival. People will draw closer to Me and they too shall enter the secret place to be healed and transformed. They will be equipped to sing My Love Song unto the world in unison. United as one in ME!”

“They are SAMARA! Protected and Guarded! They will be kept safe by My own Hand!”

The word SAMARA in Hebrew means “Protected By God”, “One who is guarded by God.”

“Beloved, I AM Calling you in to the deep Secret place! And the time and place is now! All you have to do is Knock and I will open the door for you to enter and receive!

HYDRANTS ARE OPEN, COOL BREEZES FLOW:

The Hydrants are open… Cool breezes blow…

The Hydrants are open… Cool breezes blow…

As many of you know, God uses the mundane and insignificant things of this world to speak to us. In the last week, I have been hearing in my spirit a small verse from the finale of a popular Broadway show. I wake up singing and repeating it daily, and through out the day, even in my sleep! When I asked the Lord why it kept ringing in my mind and in my spirit He said “Sing it and Declare it!”

The Hydrants are open… Cool breezes blow…

As I started singing the verse intentionally through out the day it began to grow louder and louder, and from the Heavens I could hear the song being transformed- “The Floodgates are Open, My Spirit flows…” and I saw the floodgates of Heaven pour out over His people and over the Land.

God is about to open the hydrants!!

“I AM is releasing a New Refreshing, a New Fresh Anointing. You will see this outpouring all around the earth. It will sparkle, and it will shine, and it will radiate My Light and My Glory!

My All in All! And the Cool Breezes will blow- My Ruah- My Breath of Life - My Spirit will flow!”

The Hydrants are open… Cool breezes blow…

The Floodgates are Open… My Spirit flows…

God is wanting to bring us higher. He wants us to go from Glory to Glory with Him! He has laid out a New Ladder!

NEW LADDER:

And then there was the ladder!

God has a way to highlight objects and situations to speak and reveal what He wants to impart to His children for the season!

Background Story:

A couple of months ago my sister borrowed our ladder. Then, in the days leading to the New Year, I realized that we were going to need to replaced a smoke detector and that we will be needing the ladder. Without going into all the details, my husband, Wayne went to get the ladder from her house only to bring back the wrong ladder home.

When I saw the ladder, I was confused and I said “This is not our ladder. Why did you bring this ladder instead?” And the answer I got was “I was told that the other one was overkill and that this one will do the job!” I was so thrown off! All I kept thinking was “But this is not our ladder! I just don’t understand.” And he said “I have no clue either! I was just told to bring this ladder.”

At that point, I just tried not to think about it anymore and tried to concentrate on the declaration that kept ringing in my spirit - “The Floodgates are Open… My Spirit flows…”

In fact, I didn’t even change the smoke detector that day.

To better give you an understanding of where the Lord was going with all this, let me give you a description of the Ladders.

Our ladder is about 20 years old. Ol’ Faithful! It is a heavy duty metal Gorilla Ladder that is super sturdy but it is also very hard to open and maneuver because it is super heavy. We are very proud of it! (Laughing) Its weight makes it very difficult to carry and to lift.

My Sister’s ladder is pretty much brand New! It is 1/3 of the weight compare to our old ladder, its easy to carry, open and close. It’s actually taller than our old ladder but less bulky. Super easy to use and very convenient! This Ladder also has a great feature that our old ladder does not have. The steps are platforms which are wider than a usual ladder, making it more safe, stable and steady to climb.

The next morning I woke up before dawn and the Lord led me to change the smoke detector in the studio. I went to the garage and the ladder was highlighted in the spirit. The moment that I placed my hands on it, the Lord started speaking.

“My yoke is light and easy to carry.” I picked the ladder up and it was so much lighter than our old ladder.

Then I heard Him say, “Your old ladder is very heavy and bulky.”

At that moment I was made aware of how easy it was to carry and maneuver inside the house. Once I was in the studio, I was made aware of how easy it was to open and how sturdy it was. When I started climbing on the steps, I notice that it was not your usual step but wide platforms that felt very stable and secured. I was able to change the old smoke detector so easily, almost with no effort!

Then Lord started speaking again.

“The Old ladder will not work in the coming season! I am providing a New Ladder!”

“Many want to continue to use the old ways, the old system, the old way of teaching. They want to go from Glory to Glory but they are weighted down and heavy laden because they are trying to hold on to the old ways. They are holding on to their old ladders.”

“Many want ministry to remain the same, to continue to operate under the old ways and practices. They see the New Ladder and they refuse it just because it does not resemble what they are used to. They are not willing to let go of weight- the old baggage, old ideals, old agendas… They say-

“Oh but that is not how we do things!”

“But we have been doing it this way since the beginning! For years!”

“This is the way we have always done it and we’ve been fine!”

“They do not realize their old ladders are becoming too heavy and hard to carry. They are blinded by what is familiar, by what they’ve known. But they do not realize that what they’ve known, that which is familiar, will no longer work in this new season.”

“I AM providing a New Way! I AM providing a New Ladder! This Ladder is light and easy yet Strong and Stable… Easy to carry! It is firmly grounded in Me! The steps of the new Ladder are wider, so your footing will be solid, firm and steady not shaky! It will provide security and stability! The old ladder although it served its purpose in seasons past, it falls short for this season and the seasons to come. The New Ladder reaches Higher! Higher into my Presence, into My Glory.”

“I have to called you Higher and deeper in Me!”

“Do Not turn back and do Not look back! Remember Lot’s wife!” (Luke 9:62, Luke 17:32, Genesis 19)

“Do Not yearn for the old ways in the past! “ (Isaiah 43:18-19)

"I AM the God of Kairos”

“I AM the God of NOW!”

“Look I am doing something New!”

“Look I am raising up CICADAS!”

“The ones that heard my call to go deep in the secret place and they fed from my roots!

They have surrendered all they have known and have made room for the New.

They have received New instructions, New directives, a New Song to be sang for all to hear!

They are equipped with a New way to deliver the good news.

Wherever I send them, they will have the authority and the anointing to open the floodgates of Heaven over all and my Holy Spirit will flow like a refreshing outpouring over every man, woman and child. They will have access to the throne room. They will reach higher and higher, from Glory to Glory in Me. They will emerge with New Strengths, New Boldness, New Confidence knowing that it is I AM who directs their steps and orchestrates the melody of the New Song I have installed in them!

“They will deliver the Gospel and out of their mouths, it will sound like a beautiful love song to the ears of men. Many will be saved and restored. And they will learn to seek Me and know Me for themselves- They will know of My Love and they will experience My Love!”

“They will be called SAMARA - They will be protected by My hand! Guarded by their God!"

I AM THE FATHER OF PRODIGAL SONS AND DAUGHTERS

“For those who heard my call and have not yet responded. There is no time to spare! I AM the Father of the Prodigal sons and daughters! The time is Now! Seek Me and you shall find! Knock and it shall be open!”

“Remember there is an appointed time for everything and My Words always fulfilled! Seek me while there is still time and I will direct your steps and all that you need will be provided. Surrender and allow me to cleanse you, heal you and restore you, then I will equip you and prepare you with renewed strengths and boldness to deliver the Gospel through a New Song for the world to hear…”

IN MY APPOINTED TIME!

“Beloved, Remember My timing is always perfect!

I AM who will know your appointed time!

I AM who will know when you will be ready to emerge! (Habakkuk 2:3)

This process will take complete trust in Me! (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Do not try to rush the process… You will miss all that I have for you!

I know your most inner parts of your heart and your mind.

I know you better than you know yourself. (Jeremiah 1:5)

Surrender and allow yourself to be tended by My Loving hands.

This will require patience and humility on your part. (James 4:10)

Can you trust me to take my time to heal you, restore you, transform you, renew your mind, teach you, guide you, strengthen you and equip you for a time as this?

This process will also require dedication and perseverance! (Galatians 6:9)

Some days will be harder than others…”

BUT I WILL BE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, I will be with you all the way! I will never leave you nor forsake you!” (Deuteronomy 31:6)

“Do You Trust Me? Do you trust my perfect will? Do you trust my timing? If so…"

COME DEEPER AND HIGHER IN A PLACE OF NEW REFRESHING, NEW REVELATION, NEW DIRECTION TO PREPARE YOU TO SING MY NEW SONG!

Selah…

Just another precious detail...

Last week, I had sketched a Cicada in my journal as I was ascribing what the Lord was downloading. I was led to use turquoises, greens, gold and I kept seeing iridescent colors that sparkled in my spirit. At the time, I said “Lord, I have never seen a Cicada in these colors but You create all things! You know all things!”

Yesterday, after I finished typing this letter, I started to search the web for a photo of a cicada to provide a visual reference but none of the Cicada’s I found resonated with my spirit, so I simply typed Turquoise Cicada in google just for giggles. I was blown away by what I found! Not only did I find a Beautiful Turquoise Cicada, but its name is Zammara!!! Similar to the word “Samara” I heard in the dream! Cicada Zammara! Cicada Samara - A Voice Protected by God! Thank You Lord!! ~SELAH!
