In my dream I was helping to set up a garden.  As there were insufficient plants to fill the area, I took some of my own and planted those to fill the gap. 

I observed the garden full of flowers, and then I wanted to establish another garden, so I began to thin out the established plants (these were spring flowers) to take and plant in the new garden. 

This raised some objection, but a man (a retired pastor) stepped forth and said “She is quite within her rights because she has previously sown into this garden.  Therefore let her take from this bed so she can she can establish another garden.”

Garden Dream Interpretation

At the time of this dream, it was impressed upon me that the garden represented the Solemn Assembly I had just attended in Wellington, and that in transplanting the bulbs, we were to establish another Solemn Assembly in Hamilton.

My prayer partner Robyn has been training for some time in the area of dream interpretation, and when she heard of the dream; she shed further light upon it. The fact that someone spoke directly to me is, she says, to be taken literally, and not symbolically. Secondly it was a leader of the church, so he had authority to speak into the situation.

One morning at Sue’s prayer group, I began to get the words ‘Blow the Trumpet in Zion’, ‘Blow the Trumpet in Zion’. This is also part of the Joel chapter two call for a solemn assembly, I later discovered.

While praying later that week with my prayer partner, I asked the Lord for more specific direction, and I got ‘January’, and ‘prayer retreat’. At this stage I felt we were on the right track, and then shared this at a meeting with those who also attended the Wellington Assembly. We subsequently meet to seek the Lord for direction whether to hold a Solemn Assembly in our region. After the weekend of prayer and fasting, we unanimously agreed that He was calling us to do so.

Initially we met as a team monthly, while I continued to pray about it weekly with Robyn. This is not something any of us set out to initiate, rather it has been step by step obedience to the Lord’s leading. Although I agreed to coordinate the prayer meetings, it has been a corporate team effort, each one responding to the call of the Lord to use their talents and gifts to see His will fulfilled for the betterment of our loved ones, our churches, city and nation.

Is God calling you to join with us,
and partner with Him to see true revival in our land?
