A few years ago, as I sought the Holy Spirit for guidance I heard in the whisper “meet me under the cherry tree” I remember chuckling as that struck me as odd. I had no idea what it meant. I very quickly though could see “my meadow” and that big ol’ tree now had cherry blossoms. I saw myself sitting under the tree with my Yeshua and I remember feeling peace.
An acquaintance later sent me a song called “In Your Midst” by Allie Paige. As I listened face down seeking Him the song was ending and in a moment in the darkness, I was lit up by a breeze of cherry blossoms surrounding me.
Well to say the least I started studying the cherry blossom. Very quickly what caught my attention is it has 5 petals and each petal looks like a heart.
Fast forward a couple years this verse “jumped” out at me.
Revelation 5:6 RSV
“And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.”
I was intrigued, “What are the seven spirits which God sent out into all the earth?” and how does it apply to me. I am on the earth.
Isaiah 11:2
“The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
a Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
a Spirit of counsel and strength,
a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord”
This is a prophecy about Yeshua my Messiah.
The Holy Spirit will rest upon Him. Meaning he would have all authority from Yahweh.
He would have:
Understanding
Knowledge
Wisdom
Strength
Counsel
He would walk in the awe of the Lord knowing who He is and who God is.
There it was the 5 petals.
Wisdom
Strength
Knowledge
Understanding
Counsel
Revelation tells us God released this on all the earth Yeshua led the way to this truth.
He was showing me who I am.
But it gets better from there
1 Samuel 17:40
“Then he took his staff in his hand, and chose five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in his shepherd’s bag or wallet; his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.”
David, future King of Israel, as he went to battle chose to “be” who he was a shepherd. He took what he knew for battle.
5 stones.
Wisdom
Strength
Knowledge
Understanding
Counsel
David knew who he was he listened to Yahweh and lived in the awe of Yahweh.
It is Holy Spirit in us and through us that gives us authority as we open our hands offer what we have and let His consuming fire direct our steps.
