Let’s surf on the Waves Beloved December 31, 2025

Hello family, I mentioned that I got the rhema a few days ago, with the Lord chiding me that the currents would get stronger and colder, so I should no longer complain or have self-pity about my responsibilities, but I need to really take the bull by the horns and get going.

But for the past few days, I have been floundering. Feeling confused, not sure where to start, where to begin, and when, and then before you know it, time has escaped me, and rather than being a present mother, I’m rather looking forward at times for Rose to fall asleep so I can get things done, so I feel like I’ve accomplished something. I had no schedule and was just so overwhelmed by all that I have to do. The Lord had even played a song from my playlist from Amy Grant called “Hats”. The lyrics go:

The moon is high

I'm working through the night

Will somebody tell me

Where do all the hours go?

(Oh, I don't know)

Well, I don't stop

No, it's never gonna stop

Why do I have to wear so many things on my head?

Hats

One day, I'm a mother

One day, I'm a lover

What am I supposed to do?

Hats

Working for a livin'

All because I'm driven

To be the very best for you

Then, about a week ago, my mother-in-law received a gift, a parrot bird. [Excuse me. Baby Girl in the back] A parrot bird, She loves birds, but she had no idea about the maintenance she was going to keep it outside as I told her it would die, as I laughed. Parrots are very intelligent, and we didn’t know we needed to transition it into a bigger cage. Needless to say, it has been so much distress. The person who gave us the bird, had the other pair, which was a boy and that one’s even run away from them, it flew away. I decided I couldn't watch this parrot suffer anymore since we’re not equipped to take care of it, I felt such a burden for it, but I knew there was no way I could add this pet on top of my other responsibilities. I looked up videos on how to take care of a parrot. And it looked like a lot of maintenance, mostly training, and a lot of tlc.

I'm struggling with the little one already, so I wanted to send it back, then I decided to go to Bible Promise just to see what the Lord wanted, and I got the Holy Spirit in keeping the bird and taking responsibility. I thought Lord, noooo. I sat before the Blessed Sacrament for a while, perplexed, knowing that Jesus sees my struggle, and I am already overwhelmed, how? Then I felt Holy Spirit reminding me again about the City of God. I will have to not only juggle all my responsibilities a lot more children, needs, and animals and I thought Ooooh, I see, and that this would be great training.

I said oh man, okay Lord.

So, needless to say, I am having to wear many hats like most of us on this channel. I am having to navigate through Heartdwellers Africa ministry, the marriage channel, Mother of Mercy devotion, which will be starting full force this year in spreading her devotion again. My household, being a wife, the City of God work and the mission house, the priesthood and all priests, now a pet parrot and eventually animals in the near future, and making sure that I am also disciplined and organized, and then on top, of our organization to that it functions properly according to the government laws as well. Now you can see why I am drowning a bit?

So I came before Jesus and I said, “Lord, I'm drowning. This current is a lot stronger and colder than I thought. Please help me to come and rise above this. Please. What’s on your heart?”

Jesus began,

“It is your unbelief that has brought you under the waters. Just like Peter, you have focused too much on the waves and the storms, and now you're drowning rather than fixing your eyes continually on Me. I promise you, beloved, you and all My brides are sincerely entering a new season, suffering will not end, no, but there is great grace, anointing, gifts, and breakthroughs that you have been praying for on the other side. It will fill your mouth with laughter. Meditate on Psalm 126 this week, over and over again, I will restore all the tears sown with songs of joy, truly I will, My beloved little one, and that goes for all My brides. Just trust Me.

“You have lost sight of what I said about the test of trust coming, and it would be good for you to revisit that message. You doubt way too much My words to you, but you are My bride and a prophet of the Lord; you can testify to My faithfulness when you go back to the messages I have given and what I tell you comes to pass. Again, just like My disciples, I tell you these things so that when events happen just as I spoke, that you would believe.

“You see, I am so aware of man's weaknesses, especially My disciples, those who serve Me. You are no different from the 12 apostles I walked with, did life with; they knew Me, and I taught My ways to them, but they, too, had to grow in faith and in grace. They too had to be broken several times to gain understanding of suffering to become obedient. Your weakness or doubts do not distance Me from you or cause Me to leave you and not work with you.

Although it grieves My heart and hurts Me deeply because you know Me, I call you friend and I have trusted you with the greatest treasure, Myself and My heart, and yet you still withhold from Me because you don't trust Me or My goodness, completely, so although painful it does not cause Me to make you indispensable, looking for another who will trust Me. Rather, I draw near to you My brides and when you are ready and seek me out, I continue to shower you with graces of faith upon you that you may believe. I continue to speak with you, walk with you, talk with you, and work with you so that you may believe. Do you see My enduring love? My resilient love?”

Yes, Lord, I do.

“Then I want you to love others the same. Do the same for others, My brides. Do not despise the weakness and the failures of others or yourself. You do them, and you do yourself a disservice; rather, work with them, pray for them, and be patient and generous with yourself. Yes, you are weak and full of many faults and weaknesses, but My strength is it not made perfect? I can use anything or anyone that is willing, and that is what I love about you, My beloved brides. You're always willing, even despite great difficulties and demands, in the depths of your heart.”

“I know you're willing, but you're struggling to understand, or struggling to be obedient, or struggling to trust, and you're struggling to let go. I will help you with this. Indeed, the current up ahead My beloved ones will only get swifter and harder, so you must swim against the current, not with it. Meaning don't go with the flow of the day, don't go with what the enemy throws at you, many of you start your day off with many demonic flows, patterns, and assignments launched at you right when you wake up. You know it very well. Feelings of immediate overwhelm, anxiety, restlessness, discouragement, hopelessness, laziness, and weariness right when you wake up, you can choose to swim in these currents, or you can go against them by swimming with Me. That means swimming in My word, using My word, the scriptures to stand, as you spend time with Me in prayer, I also equip you, suiting you up for the deep dives ahead, so you don’t drown or sink if you have to go to the lower places and giving you resilient faith if you have to walk on the waves with Me. Let's not only walk on the waves beloved, let's surf on them together.

“A surfer doesn't get scared of the big waves; rather, that is what they look for. The bigger the wave, the better they will be able to navigate through the water tunnels and have the greatest experience working with the power of the current and experiencing the most glorious ride they have ever had. I want My brides to respond in that way. When Satan and this life throws you lemons, as the saying goes, make lemonade. Turn every opportunity of discouragement, self-pity, struggle, and trial into a glorious ride of faith and praise instead, and you will see the fulfillment of all that I have spoken to you as you transition into your new season.”

At this point guys, I had to break and I’ll tell you why. And I came back and I said “Jesus. Lord, I’m back, I'm a hot mess.”

I say this because, as an aside, guys, there was a young lady, a friend of the family, who showed up. She even went to church with us the day before, but this morning she mentioned she had to do laundry, and because of it she was dressed in a way not favorable. Everything was just out, and there were also guests in the house, a couple, two single brothers. Her outfit was so distracting and made me so uncomfortable that I had to stop the message, come into the front room, where everyone was. She is such a sweet girl, but I could not get past how she was dressed. Even my beloved mentioned to her that it wasn't good vibes, that it wasn’t good – that her outfit was giving a different message to young men; she laughed, saying her big brother says the same thing.

She changed into pants, but still her top was a bit too exposed for my taste. I thought, should I say something, I don't want to offend then I thought, what would Jesus do? What would Jesus want me to do? He would want me to say something for her own good and the well-being of others, and to be an example in that. So I lovingly went to her and gave her a coverall and told her she was beautiful, that she didn't have to show all of that, and that modesty is beautiful. She smiled and even thanked me, and took the coverall as I shared she didn’t have to be like the young girls of this generation, but let her beauty stand out differently, and she thanked me again.

When I came back into the room, I thanked the Lord for the courage to speak up and that’s when I said Jesus I’m a hot mess.

So Jesus said,

“Yes, you are, but My hot mess nonetheless and I love you. Good job, beloved, in sharing with that soul your care and also your love and modesty. Don't fear men beloved, I’ve called you to be a Titus 2 woman. Teach the young girls My ways, My heart, and allow your loving counsel to be seeds to form their character.”

And I said, “But I could’ve done better, Lord.” And here I’m talking about with My beloved and the whole situation.

“Yes, you could have, but you have the rest of the day to make up for it. I will help you.”

I was swept away by the current for sure Lord, just like you were telling me. Lord, is there any hope?

“Yes, beloved, there is great hope. I am not only changing your beloved, but I am changing you in the process. It's good for you now to ask My spirit what to do in situations, but take your time, don't be so impulsive to act, just wait, and many times in the waiting is when your guardian angel is dealing with the demonic activity around you to bring you peace then you can assess the situation more clearly and also respond better.”

Lord, yes, please help me truly with everything.

“Even now, I am here to help and assist you. Write down the schedule I give you and stick to it. When other things come that you don’t expect, again go with My flow, not the enemies, okay beloved? My brides, some of you will be called to walk on the waves, others will be called to surf on the waves, then there are others who will be called to dive deep for the pearls. Each day will call forth for a different way in dealing with the waves of life, so come to Me, and I will instruct you in which way we will handle the daily waves, and if you listen and trust Me, You will sail into your new season victoriously.”

That was the end of Jesus' message.

They’re short and impactful with simple practical steps for any Christian homemaker to make their family and life full, living simply and being intentional, and that is what I needed. I’ll have a link to her website and channel at the bottom. God bless you, family, let's surf on the waves with Jesus
