Delayed Obedience = Delayed Destiny

February 22, 2026

Hello Family, I hope you guys are well. I’m reading this message on behalf of Mother Catherine.

Mother Catherine begin, “This morning, I woke up in low spirits as I went to the Lord in dwelling Prayer listening to worship & listening to messages on You Tube but honestly my mind was wandering all over the place. Suddenly I heard the words,

"STOP" It was Jesus and therefore, I became still.

Jesus began speaking,

“You’re feeling this way because there are things I am doing in you which you will not understand for now. I may be silent but that does not mean I’m not working. You have been feeling emptiness of late, My child. I have, I am and always will and I’m here with you.”

Matthew 28:20 "...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

“I have been speaking to you but your mind is switched to what you want to hear or see in the way you know. You therefore miss Me or ignore what I am saying.”

I asked Jesus, how?

“How many times have I spoken to you and prompted you to write down My inspired words or visions but you take it for granted and later because of distractions and negligence you fail to obey the instructions given, because you have even forgotten what the instruction was.

“Obedience. My child obedience is the beginning of prosperity & wisdom. Even when I give or reveal, even the simplest or short message I urge you My child, obey and by faith pursue My instructions. A soul cannot claim she or he has faith and does not act on instructions given.”

James 2:17 came in my mind. "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

“All that you are listening or watching is all a waste of time. Be obedient.”

Family here the Lord is talking about the Videos I was watching on video and I started praying along while seated in His presence.

Jesus continued,

“Am I not here with you, talking and spending time with My bride. Yet you are busy praying alongside the video. Who answers the prayers you are praying or listening to?

I answered, “It is You. Jesus it is You. O Lord forgive me. Have mercy on me.”

“It is well My child. Work on your obedience and walk in obedience. Be sensitive to Me, always ready to My conversations with you.”

Thank you lord. Jesus, do you have anything to tell Your flock on obedience??

Jesus began,

“Obedience is better than sacrifice.”

I Samuel 15:22 "Obedience is better than sacrifice"

“Obedience will lessen your burdens and help you avoid many snares & problems.”

Hebrews 12:1 " "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us."

“When a soul obeys you align your life with My Father's purposes and walk in the paths chosen for you in alignment with My Father's will for your life.

“Many, especially My brides you waste many years and graces in disobedience or delayed obedience.”

Family the Story of Jonah in the bible comes to mind.

Jesus continues,

“Many of you My brides, are living in disobedience, lazy in obedience or still living in self-will, still allowing your flesh to lead you.”

Galatians 5:16, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh"

Galatians 5:25 "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives."

“When a soul fails to promptly to obey you miss the mark. You fail to enter into the graces purposed for that season & time. When you miss this, your destinies are delayed, for you will have to wait until the full cycle.

“My brides don’t give the enemy an opportunity to delay your destinies. The enemy is working around the clock to hinder you from achieving your goals by disobedience.

“My brides be obedient to what I say or reveal to you, whether it seems small or big in your eyes. Walking in obedience brings My promises to pass. Obedience is submitting to all that is My will.

“When a soul walks in obedience, you’re affirming your trust in Me. Your faith is strengthened and you walk in authority.

“One who walks in obedience walks in divine favor. Don’t try to follow another soul's path or desire what is not yours.”

Ephesians 2:10, "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do"

“When a soul walks in obedience many opportunities are opened before him. In obedience you will observe and when you observe you will obtain. Walking in obedience, makes a soul trust in Me, fortifying ones faith keenly observing what had been instructed until its fulfillment. Some instructions are for long term, others are for short term. All I desire of a soul is to be obedient and you will be lead to your path & season for that time.

“My child I want you to learn to write down immediately what I tell you or show you. You have a tendency to forget and the enemy is using this as a weapon to fight you.”

Jesus thank you for this and may the Holy Spirit help me to be faithful in this.

That was the end of my conversation with Jesus.
