The Season of Autumn
Autumn is the season of harvest and abundance, when fields are gathered and the earth reveals its bounty in full measure. It represents the completion of a growing season, the fulfillment of what has been cultivated, and the gathering of what has matured over time.
Traditionally, autumn is also a time of preparation, as communities store and preserve what has been harvested in readiness for the months ahead. The natural world shifts, leaves change and fall, and the air cools, marking a time of transition and change. It is a season of letting go, as trees release what they no longer need and make room for future growth.
Fall is also deeply connected with gratitude and celebration, as families and communities come together to acknowledge provision, reflect on blessing, and give thanks. In the natural, autumn embodies abundance, completion, preparation, transition, release, and gratitude—a beautiful reminder that seasons of fruitfulness are followed by seasons of rest, reflection, and readiness for what is next.
In the spirit, it is a season of divine gathering and holy fulfillment. It represents the time when what was planted in faith is brought into sight, when hidden work gives way to visible fruit, and when prayers sown in tears begin to take shape in our hands. It is the season of spiritual harvest and heavenly abundance, where the seeds of obedience, perseverance, and surrender yield a return ordained by God.
Autumn marks a sacred completion, not an ending, but a culmination: the maturing of promises, the ripening of destiny, and the revealing of what has been cultivated in the secret place. It is a time of spiritual preparation and stewardship, gathering what Heaven has released and preparing our hearts for greater capacity, deeper trust, and new assignments.
Fall represents transition, moving from one chapter to the next under divine timing and grace. Just as the trees release their leaves, we too are invited to let go of old identities, expired seasons, and anything that cannot go with us into the new. This release is not loss; it is sanctified clearing, making room for the glory to come.
Fall carries a mantle of gratitude and remembrance, pausing to honor God's faithfulness, to testify of His goodness, and to lift a song of thanksgiving before the harvest is even fully seen. It is a season of rest, reflection, and realignment, preparing the soul to receive without striving and to hold without fear. (Photo via Pexels)
Prophetically, fall declares:
• What you sowed in faith will not return empty.
• What was hidden is now emerging.
• What needed to die has served its purpose.
• What God promised is now ripening.
"November's Bounty"
Being a prophetic person, I tend to see God's signs in everything. As I reflected on how the natural seasons mirror the spiritual ones, I asked the Lord, as I always do, for a word for the changing season. He answered in the most unexpected way. I woke up to an email titled "November's Bounty." It came from an organization I love supporting. They rescue surplus produce and distribute it to families in need. I support their mission by buying their weekly box filled with perfectly delicious, slightly "imperfect" fruits and vegetables. A simple act that blesses my home and my community.
Anyway, the Lord used the subject line of this email to give me the prophetic word for November and the fall season. He said, "It is the season of bounty! Get ready to enlarge your tent and stretch your tent pegs, because you're going from barrenness to bounty!"
"'Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,' says the Lord. 'Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities.'" (Isaiah 54:1–3 ESV)
Barren in Hebrew is aqar (Strong's H6135), meaning "sterile," as in, unable to bring forth, and is from the root word meaning "uprooted" (Strong's H6131), or cut off... But in Scripture, every barren one became fruitful by God's hand: Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Hannah, and Zion.
The Lord began to speak and give me revelation as I researched the meaning of the word "bounty." It is a word that has a double meaning. The first meaning is abundance, harvest, plentiful, or large amounts especially associated with reaping a harvest and abundance of crops and seeds that have been sown. The second meaning is "reward" (Merriam-Webster), as in money that is offered as a reward for apprehending an enemy. Therefore, bounty can mean a double-portion season! The Lord says this is BOTH: berakah (blessing, abundance, harvest—Strong's 1293) and reward for the thief being caught.
"But if he is caught, he will pay sevenfold; he will give all the goods of his house. (Proverbs 6:31 ESV)
A Double-Portion Season!
The Lord said, "Daughter, I want you to tell My people to get ready to receive the harvest that they have planted through the years and through their acts of generosity and kindness. I need them to enlarge their capacity. I need them to be mentally, emotionally, and physically prepared to receive what has been stored in the secret places, concealed in darkness—those things which have been prepared for the kairos time, both deliberately concealed by Me for the appointed time, and also those things that the enemy took from them and they forfeited through their disobedience and unbelief. Tell them that their appointed time of harvest is now. (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)
"The thief has been apprehended and has to give back seven times what he has stolen. They are going to receive the reward—the bounty for having apprehended the culprit, as well as the bounty from the seeds that they have sown through the years.
"They have repented for their unbelief and disobedience, and have labored without stopping, even though they felt as if I had abandoned them. They have felt as a widow without a redeemer! But I have heard their cries, I have kept count of their tears, I have remembered their barrenness, and I am now turning it into fruitfulness! Their children will be more than those of the married woman, because I will be their Husband, Protector, Provider, and Redeemer!
"I know they have let the shame of their barrenness take over their identity. They have let their unfruitfulness and unsuccessfulness take over their calling. They have let the scoffers' opinions, the evil tongues, and their insecurities steal what was theirs.
"My time has come; the time of retribution, restitution, restoration, and expansion is here! The more you stretch and expand, the more bountiful the harvest. Your breakthrough will be proportionate to your capacity to believe, conform, and adapt.
"I want them to begin to exalt and shout for joy as if they're about to give birth, because their children will be more than the married, fruitful woman. I am turning your barrenness into bountifulness. You are not barren anymore. Your mourning will be turned into dancing; I will give you beauty for ashes.
"Call forth your harvest. Call forth your reward for apprehending the enemy. Prepare your baskets for the harvest. Begin to see and call yourself 'mother,' because soon you will be holding the fruits of your labor! Begin to exalt and shout for joy."
"'Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,' says the Lord." (Isaiah 54:1 ESV)
He is not adding. He is fulfilling what He has already spoken.
Rejoice for the Breakthroughs That Are About to Manifest!
People of God, He wants us to begin to rejoice for the breakthroughs that are about to manifest in our lives through our yieldedness. He will gather us to Himself with so much love and compassion and never let us go. He is our Redeemer, our Provider, our Husband, and our Protector, and He is bringing justice to our situations.
Get ready. Prepare. Envision your breakthrough, your success, and your victory, because He is saying, "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left, and your offspring will possess the nations and will people the desolate cities" (Isaiah 54:2–3 ESV).
"I will give you the treasures of darkness and the hoards in secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who call you by your name." (Isaiah 45:3 ESV)
