“It’s time to sharpen your discernment. To see things as they truly are, for not everything is what it seems on the surface,” says the Spirit of the Lord.
I saw in the spirit a hillside covered in trees. Most of the trees were still bare from their winter rest. Some had the beginning signs of new growth, spring buds starting to spring forth.
And some of the trees looked luscious and green, covered in leaves. But as I looked closer, the Lord showed me that the leaves did not belong to the tree. For the tree was in fact already dead. Ivy snaked around the lifeless trunk and along the branches, giving an illusion of life.
“In this season, things are not what they seem. It’s important that you look closer and use the gift of discernment of spirits to know what is alive in Me and what is not. Do not allow illusion to mislead you,” says the Spirit of the Lord.
‘Ask for My wisdom and discernment, and so that you are not deceived. See new beginnings from Me and allow the promise of life to come to fill your heart. Stay close to Me and know My heart is for you, always.”
16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers and sisters.
17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow [a]cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].
James 1:16-17 (AMP)
