I saw an image of a dandelion with a full seed head. I feel the Lord is saying that He prepares us and forms us, so that we can step into the fullness of His plans for our lives. Just as a dandelion has to go through a season of preparation in order to have a plentiful supply of seeds to be distributed, so we have to go through a time of preparation and time spent with the Lord. During this time, we grow and mature in Him, which prepares us for when He sends us out.
I felt God saying, “Beloved, I have kept you in a season of growth and preparation. When I send you out, you will be fully prepared and ready”.
I was reminded of Acts 1:4 -“On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.” In the same way that the disciples had to wait in the Upper Room before going out, so we have to spend time in God’s presence, being built up in the Spirit, so that when God sends us out, we go out in the power of the Spirit.
