Prophecy 23

Thus saith the Lord...

There are many times and seasons in the course of your life, and one cannot be judged by another. "The thing that has been shall be", but the thing that has not been for you shall also be. The times and seasons of your life are in my hands, and I do not delegate them to others that they might provoke you to something which is not within your time or before your season. A time is a set time and a season is a set season, which has parameters by which the issues of your life are judged. If I bring you there before the time, then you will not be prepared. For what man wears in summer those things which are necessary to the winter, lest they overburden him and cast unnecessary care upon his life and thereby weary him: as if he might run when it is time to walk with patience, even as "I lead gently those that are with child, drawing them after Me with cords of love". For your times and seasons are in my hands, and there is no other recourse to the sons of men but to yield to my calling and my leading. I take great care to teach you how to respond to my words; but I will also lead some by bit and bridle when it is necessary to fulfill certain things within their lives, which are beyond the scope of that to which they have already been yielded and expectant. Give your heart an opportunity to consider my words to you and meditate upon them, rather than simply being excited to hear them. There is an answer within my words which often reveals and confirms the questions you ought to be asking but have neglected to ascertain by the timeliness and other contexts of our meeting. When, where, and how did I meet you today, that was different than in times past? The moment beyond the moment you expected always makes a difference by intention; as when men say, "When you least expect it, then expect it!" What can I say to you when you will only hear your own voice repeat that which was never intended to be redundant, but expansive and reciprocal within our fellowship. Your voice is alive with the creativity of the moment, if you dare to speak into your own life, but you hesitate. Meanwhile, you allow others to say things which are a distraction for you to accommodate; when you ought to say no to them, and declare your own direction, so they might also learn: and more often by the simplicity of your spirit, beyond all the words you might otherwise say to them. Give voice to your heart and declare that which is right, and do not hesitate between two opinions when you know my truth concerning any situation. Give your heart fully to Me and abide in my Word, that my words may be peaceable to you when I speak plainly in the times and seasons of your visitation.

Amen.
