This is a season of divine emergence!
God recently spoke to me that His people are coming out of a cocoon season.
A cocoon season is a transitionary season, not a permanent one. It’s not your landing place. But when you are in it you often don’t know how long it will last for.
Signs of a Spiritual Cocoon
1. There is external pressure around you.
2. There has been an internal or external struggle that you have wanted to get away from.
3. It’s been uncomfortable and almost claustrophobic at times.
4. You feel that if you don’t get out soon you just might “die.”
These are signs that you have been in a cocoon. When it gets to the point of being unbearable…this is when breakthrough is just in front of you, and you are about to EMERGE into something completely NEW.
I am here to tell you TODAY…GET READY FOR A DIVINE EMERGENCE IN YOUR LIFE.
When you emerge, you will find your voice, your anointing, your calling and your purpose. It will be as if you are transfigured into a brand-new person.
New Strength and Power
You have to read this brief story about a butterfly.
Once upon a time, a man found a butterfly that was starting to hatch from its cocoon. He sat down and watched the butterfly for hours as it struggled to force itself through a tiny hole. Then, it suddenly stopped making progress and looked like it was stuck.
Therefore, the man decided to help the butterfly out. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, although it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.
The man thought nothing of it, and he sat there waiting for the wings to enlarge to support the butterfly. However, that never happened. The butterfly spent the rest of its life unable to fly, crawling around with small wings and a swollen body.
Despite the man’s kind heart, he didn’t understand that the restricting cocoon and the struggle needed by the butterfly to get itself through the small hole were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings to prepare itself for flying once it was free.
HERE’S THE QUICK MORAL: The cocoon that frustrates you is what God is using to transform you into who He has designed you to be. You are going to emerge with new strength and power.
You will know it’s your time to emerge when the pressure becomes unbearable. Keep pushing! Keep going! You are emerging with the struggle. And soon your wings will fly!
