I am trying hard to study scripture that preachers are using incorrectly about Elisha telling Joash to pound his bow on the ground for “missed opportunities”! I really feel the Holy Spirit telling me it involves generational curses. So, I started writing as God gave me an title and a part of an analogy with perennials.
Now the first half has become an explanation from the Holy Spirit about ABORTION! I will know latter if they connect but here is what God has told me so far:
“Perennials and Parental Responsibilities”
It that time of year, late winter. I receive annually all those enticing bulb magazines consisting of beautiful perennials you can purchase at a much cheaper price than buying them in the spring in full bloom! You walk in the nursery or retail store and they are everywhere. When you are a rookie landscaper you can take advantage of God’s created choice beauty and make bad designs even money makers!
What is really interesting most don’t understand is the processes of perennials and the reason a person can be so easily tempted to buy a flower, in a bulb state, in the “jumbo bulb” size. When you walk in a nursery you can find the same plant in many different sizes. Some plants just take longer than others to grow and some people just spend more money because they have no patience or as one customer told me, “he had enough money to buy the biggest size and not enough time to wait”. Regardless of why the importance of bulbs and its bulb size is very fascinating, it rewards the buyer none the less by purchasing the bigger bulb without having to know why! The bulb all year stores its energy or ” food supply”, which I am going to call a “fortified beautiful bomb” (bomb is a word picture for the really big bloom of your choice). The perennial doesn’t do much in the winter; but it is still living and needs food, kinda like a bear in hibernation. When spring comes the power of the heat and sun from God’s design requires the bulb to open its fort with enough food to get the soldiers to the top of the ground (leaves) to start the year again of flower living. Every bulb will shrink from the amount needed to get into spring and get those soldiers working on photosynthesis to help prevent the fort from being completely drained before the war ( bomb throwing- see in a male world everything is a competition so you are reading about my ideology of flower competition. The flower with the biggest, prettiest, the most fragrant dazzling display is going to be the bomb and this WIN!). These perennials need a big fort (bigger bulb) to get that biggest bomb possible. The soldiers can not produce or store any of their efforts for the bomb because they are designed to fight only until the bomb has gone off and then they store as much as they can after that for the winter. If your a science geek or a really deep “plantologist” (horticulturist technically), just go with the basics and the word picture.
Now parents, primarily the Father except when not there, has a duty like the bulb. They can take it easy in life but the next year and each year after that it is more difficult to have a big impact on anything when there was not any efforts in storing up resources for the coming year. The blooms of every flower are their children. Children are beautiful and a blessing no matter what type of bulb it came from. For God has blessed mankind with children whom worship him and do not worship him. So, when you see a flower, the result is a gift from God that the parents could not stop! The horrible results of abortion do nothing more that spit on God! People have a choice not to have children, but God designed the results of procreation by sexual intercourse from marriage. Thus abortion is nothing but being defiant at the design from God; AND nothing more than hating the person who designed it by harming the flower that would have shown God’s glory!!
