Jesus, what's on your heart?
Jesus began,
“My beloved, I've heard your overwhelming thoughts, and I'm here to help you grab a hold of your days, beloved. But you must trust Me and be obedient to My instructions to you. Too many times, you discount My counsel concerning your scheduling and how your days go, and can easily be overtaken by the enemy's interruptions and your anxious thoughts. Again, each day comes with its own challenges, but I need you to get grounded now in a rhythm that'll be your foundation even for the mission house and once the city of God begins.”
Okay, Lord, please help me to receive this. And family, it has been difficult. I don't know how some people do with more than one child. I have one, and it's such a struggle to get anything done for ministry. It really is. I love her, but she takes up most of my time. And by the time that I'm done with her at night, I am exhausted. Then, of course, I have to be available for my husband, too. And then in the morning, just to wake up to do it all over again and find time when I can do a message or get things done. The messages and ministry work takes a long time. One message could take up to 30 minutes. Just recording and editing the grammar, putting the messages together. Thank goodness I have people to edit for me. And then of course I have correspondents have to take care of council. I need to take care of prayer meetings that I have to do, and trying to figure out how to fit all that in, plus the demands and responsibilities that the Lord has given me to do, which I haven't even started yet. And I'm like, this is… she's going almost a year. I'm like, Lord nothing has changed. I need to grab a hold of something, and I don't know what to do and how to schedule myself cuz everything I've tried just falls. So, um, Jesus knowing this, you know, my thoughts and my mind and just really my cry like, "God, help me. I'm just I don't know what to do at this point. I really need your help so I can really get my bearings and get things together and just get things done." So, back to Jesus.
Jesus continued,
"Start your mornings with thanksgiving and prayer. You may not be able to sit with Me as long as you desire, but when you wake, immediately begin to thank Me for all that I've done, all that the day brings your way. Put on your full armor immediately upon waking and pray the binding prayer. If you can do the Command the Morning Prayer by My servant Jennifer Leclaire, that is very good for you. Have them on recording if needed. So, you can listen to the audio and pray along with her if you have to take care of the little one. I would prefer you take this time on this trip to go through the lessons I had you purchase.”
And that, as an side guys is what I shared with you guys by Lorie McFad, I believe. She's a homemaker, a housewife and she's able to juggle her house and her home very well and the ministry that she has too. And so the Lord had me take some lessons from her which I haven't even started yet cuz where can I find the time? But Jesus is going to give me the time. So, I hope this message helps many of you who may be in my predicament trying to figure out how to juggle whatever the Lord has called you to have, the responsibilities he's called you to have. Maybe the outline of my schedule can help you guys. Okay, back to the Lord.
“I'll be with you to help construct your time and really be present. And on top of things in your home, in ministry, and in the community, I also want you incorporating exercise and a healthy diet into your lifestyle. With children, they watch what you eat and will eat what you eat and do what you do, beloved. So, don't discount that, too. It's also good for your body. You'll need much energy and good strength for the journey I have for you that is ahead. Although much of your vigor and youthfulness will come from the time spent with Me in prayer and fasting, you taking care of yourself will help tremendously. Rise early before dawn to prepare the home for the day. Evenings were good for you and I, but I see your fatigue throughout the day, and you haven't been able to keep your commitment. So, sleep and rise early. In that time, seek Me out to hear from Me.
“Do your prayers, the binding prayer, commanding the morning to set up your day. Get Rose's breakfast prepared and that of your beloved’s if he's not fasting, and even prep for the afternoon lunch for Rose. Take your shower. Get what's needed for Rose, feed her and take care of her when she wakes early morning, being attentive to her. Then, when she takes her first nap, which seems to be the longest, do ministry work. Then you see, the burden will be lifted because you have been prepared already for lunch and her needs, and that of the house is set. During her second nap, prepare for her dinner and that of your beloved’s. Focus on anything that needs to be done in the house or any instructions given to you to take care of any issues at home. If there's nothing, then finish up ministry work. When she wakes later afternoon, then do your exercise. Incorporate her. She'll love it. Take a walk or something active. It'll be an easy transition as she gets older, knowing that late in the afternoon, she gets to do an activity each evening to work out all the energy she has before she goes to bed. Then once she's ready for bed, the house is ready for bed. And they sleep. Stay up at least one hour praying every night whether it's in tongues or the rosary prayers, but pray, covering all that I've instructed you, your family and share with Me any needs you have, then rest in Me preparing to rise up early and take care of your household and responsibilities again.
“If I wake you up in the middle of the night, it's for prayer. Try not to go back to sleep as your flesh desires, that means something needs your attention.
Then I thought, Lord what about adoration?
“When you do your prayers, do that before me in adoration. When you rise up early to pray and sit with Me, do that before me in adoration. All things done before Me as you usually do, beloved. Know that Satan will continue to try to exasperate you in every way. Don't despise interruptions or turn of events or something you didn't have planned. Rather than get frustrated or annoyed, simply say, "Lord, I yield to this change in this moment. Use it for Your glory. Help me to stay in Your peace.” And I'll come to your aid. Dealing with children can be unpredictable. And that is why I'm training you now with one, more are coming. And within the city of God, there'll be plenty to keep your hands and your time full. But they'll need structure, discipline, and order. Even as they too learn abandonment, you must try your best to master it first. So the day filled with Satan's devices do not master you. I need you clear thinking, sharp and focused on My will from day to day, moment to moment. That is how you get through the rough current of waters up ahead as your responsibilities grow.”
Wow. Thank You, Lord. Thank You so much. Do You have a word for Your flock?
“Yes, beloved. Discipline. My beloved ones, discipline. I'm training each of you in discipline in this season if you would obey and be sensitive to My leading. Each of you have areas that need to be put in better order where procrastination, laziness, and anxiety and even overwhelm has sneaked in and caused some form of stagnation or lack of excellence. I'm never looking for perfection, know that. I rather you declare your weakness to Me so that My strength may be made perfect in you. What I am looking for is your cooperation. When you ask to be used by Me in any way, I must build your character, and that takes discipline. There's order in My kingdom. And things run harmoniously. Everyone playing their role and being obedient to the Father's instructions, not doing things halfway or leaving things hanging.
“If the sun doesn't come out because it became tired, it forgot or wanted to take a break, it would throw off the entire Earth's equilibrium. Yes, the sun has a choice again, free will, to obey My father's command every morning or to rebel. It too is a living creation, but yet it obeys and disciplines itself to come out at the time it's commanded to come out, to ensure all the Father desires to do with it is purposefully done on earth. I need My brides, that discipline, not yield to their feelings, even to the fatigue of their passing bodies or circumstances of the moment. But your discipline then becomes a devotion to Me. Think of it that way. Every time you do a message on your channels, not only are you disciplining yourself, but you're pouring out your devotion to Me. Every time you work on your gifts, beloved brides, faithfully and consistently, you're pouring out a devotion to Me. Every time you take care of the needs of your family, your spouse, your children, do your job, whatever it may be, excellence, you are pouring out your devotion to Me.
“Discipline is a devotion that can be mastered if you cooperate with My grace. To be disciplined means to be disciplined by Me. Once you say yes and surrender to My will, I begin to disciple you, instruct you on what needs to go, what area you need to deny yourself, and simplify what area you must do better in, and take into account by adjusting and readjusting to conform it into holiness. Be especially disciplined when I make My will known to you.
Whatever it is I've given you to do, do with all vigor, excellence, and faithfulness. If you don't have any of those attributes or feelings towards My instructions to you, then ask Me for these virtues and I'll give them to you. Say, “Lord, I desire to do your will. Please give me the vigor, discipline, and faithfulness to do with excellence.” And then move. Take action. I want you to cultivate this, My brides. Be disciplined in all your dealings, but especially your devotion to Me. Don't succumb to your flesh, the lies of the enemy, and distractions any longer. I have great things in store for My brides. But the character of discipline must be built in each of you where I'm taking you and the anointing I long to give each of you. Your blessing, your destiny, your fulfillment in life will all come by discipline. Be faithful, be steadfast, be diligent, My brides, and all your undertakings, especially for Me. It is through small acts of discipline that you're trained for more responsibility, more gifts, and greater anointing.”
Proverbs 3:11-12. My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline and do not resent His rebuke because the Lord disciplines those He loves as a Father's son He delights in.
