Old Boots; New Dirt

The Lord spoke a word, several weeks ago.

It’s for now.

If it word resonates with you, let it do what only the Lord can.

This is what I heard the Lord say…

Don’t take your boots off.

The boots you are wearing have traveled through age and season, mountain peeks and valleys. Above and below sea level.

Your boots.

These old boots are the “wear all day,” “fits like a glove” type.

They’ve been through some dung.

They reflect a road well traveled.

By now, they are molded to fit you.

They are comfortable and becoming even more comfortable.

You see, there is a shift here.

You are walking in new dirt.

You are entering into experiences, miracles, adventures, fulfillment that you have not yet known. Dirt, your boots have yet to take you through.

But now. Now, has arrived.

It’s here and everything that you have been through has brought you to this space and time.

I am reframing the worn paths.

I am releasing you of the constant painful memories.

As you look back on memories of the pain, let them remind you of all I have brought you through.

As you continue to thank Me, even when it seems impossible, sense My balm heal and mend.

The victories that have held you in the old and have seemed to cement you in the present are being plowed up.

There is new dirt for you to traverse!

The victory doesn’t contain the extent of My goodness or define the greater miracles awaiting you!

The shift has taken place.

For some, you are in shock because it seems as though all you have known, worked towards, has been tossed aside, thrown in the bin for decomposition.

The enemy has lied to you.

Even the miracles that got you to this place and brought you through are not meant to keep you in a holding pattern.

Remember, My thoughts are beyond than human understanding.

Those miracles have molded your boots.

The answered prayers are not quicksand.

You are victorious in Me!

Through every season!

But you are Mine.

You don’t belong to the victory or the struggle.

Your identity is in Me.

Let every man-fueled passion & struggle contented for, become fertilizer for the Heaven sent that you are beginning to experience & is on its way.

Don’t take your boots off.

This next season needs who you are.

You need who you are, what you have endured, the goals met and mountains scaled.

There are snakes on the trail. Along the way.

But snakes cannot penetrate the boots you wear.

You are saying, ‘I have already had blisters. I have already worn these boots in.”

Yes! Well done.

There will be such an advancement in the next season.

The now.

You are going to feel the pull of the launch.

My favor is for a lifetime, it doesn’t just stay in one season or remain in one career.

I am exposing the areas of man-made and man-sustained pleasure. At My right hand are pleasures, forever more.

I am poised to infuse My people with My pleasures, My eternal favor, My fulfillment, My identity.

There is a new wine pouring that will make old wineskins come apart at the seems.

There is a vineyard I have been caring for that has both olives and grapes.

Oil and wine.

At the same time the oil is pouring and renewing, refreshing, unifying the wineskins, the wine…the best wine is pouring forth.

Lean in, keep seeking, keep knocking, keep asking.

He that waters will himself be watered.

Keep living generously.

Keep listening for My direction and removing My limits.

The oil and the wine doesn’t stop because they run out.

It stops where you stop pouring and where you stop welcoming Me.

It may be new dirt to you but I have traversed every inch of the road.

There is no path you take, I have not already traveled. Made a way.

Fashioned you for, from the depths of your mother’s womb.

You are meant to fit this new... now.
