It Is Cutting Away Time, Time For New Growth

Recently as I was on our riding mower mowing, I was smelling the smell of the cut grass and God spoke to me and said, “I am doing a cutting in My son’s and daughter’s lives. I am cutting away the things that are distracting you and I am cutting the things and people that are no longer needed or are no longer what I have for you. I am cutting the alignments of the past. I am also cutting what is no longer needed in your life for this next season. But, know that after the cutting there is new growth. After the cutting there are fresh things. Cutting brings life and growth. Get ready to grow. The cutting will be painless as you surrender to Me. Know this, there is more growth and newness of life on the other side of the cutting,”  says the Lord.
 
I am seeing a vision as I write this of you before and after the cutting, oh there is such a difference. As soon as the cutting is done, I see you flourishing in incredible ways and in areas of your life you have been believing God to shift and change. Sometimes cutting scares us, but this is God cutting and He absolutely knows what is best for us and what/who we do and don't need in our lives.  I say to God, “Let the cutting begin in my life and let the new growth begin.”
 
Ecclesiastes 3:6 (NASB 1995) “A time to search and a time to give up as lost; a time to keep and a time to throw away.”
 
Ecclesiastes 3:6 (ESV) “a time to seek and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away.”
 
John 15:2 (ESV) “Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.”
 
He is cutting away things/people from our lives that are not needed for this next season. Allow Him to do so. We have entered August- the 8th month, 8 means new beginnings. He wants us to enter this new beginning/new season with new growth, not carrying things of the old season with us. Will you embrace this cutting and let Him do it? I definitely am.
 
I hear the Spirit of God saying, “Let’s do this together. I am shifting you out to bring you in. When you yield to Me in this, the cutting won't be painful but refreshing. You will literally feel the freedom in the cutting. You will feel the new growth, the NEW wanting to sprout forth in your life. You will feel Me taking you into this new season with new growth. As you allow Me to do this you will feel the things that have been tied to you be cut away and you will advance into your new beginnings with no weight holding you back,” says the Lord.
