I saw a mass of gears. Some gears were very small,
others were quite large. Each moved as one unit, but at
different paces. As one gear moved, it moved another,
and another. Each individual gear moved in little
circles, touching other gears moving in similar circles.
The small gears were joined within a huge structure of
gears which joined into giant gears that were moving
more slowly. All these gears turned into people and
their arms were linked in a circle. As one person moved,
it began the process and they all moved in
synchronization.
Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a
replica of His spiritual clock. It was obvious to me
that as He merges us within its gears, His overall clock
moves very slowly. Synchronizing a group of people like
this would be practically impossible in the flesh. Only
the Holy Spirit can do this incredible task.

PARABLE: PARALLEL WALKS
Yesterday while at the ocean, we decided that my son
& I would walk down the beach and Wayne would go to the
car and drive to the orange sign and wait for us at the
sign. After walking a while, we realized the orange sign
disappeared do to the various heights of the sand dunes.
So half way through our walk, my precious son trudged to
the top of the sand dunes to look for the sign while I
kept walking comfortably on the flat hard sand. My son
was climbing up and down, up and down! Bless his heart!
Then I noticed he was actually keeping up with me and we
were walking PARALLEL WALKS, going in the same
direction. Occasionally I would slow down a little when
he was climbing a hill. During the whole journey, we
were side by side even though we were so far apart. The
Lord really quickened this to my ears.
As I was realizing this parable of parallel walks, a
perfect alignment fell into place in an exact timing. I
still could not see the orange sign. I looked up and
Wayne’s head popped up on top of the dune at the same
time our son met him coming from the other direction.
(Wayne later said that by the time he got to the car, he
noticed we were half way down, and figured we would miss
one another if he didn't climb up the dune to get us.
The parking lot of the orange sign was quite a ways from
the beach!) So father and son waited for poor old Mom to
climb the dune (UUUGGHHH) !!!!!!! I was very blessed to
realize the Lord had joined us in good timing as well as
parallel walking. It was a good visual parable and a
comfort to me because sometimes answers to prayer seem
so slow in coming.
============
HEARD: You need to slow down. Let it happen
naturally. Watch for opportunities. Wave My banner.
VISION: I saw someone running with the flag in their
hand.
HEARD: Running and leaping. Slow down. Parallel
movement. Parallel walk. Keep up the pace. Slow down.
Enjoy yourself. Be at peace. Sweat, enough of that.
VISION: I saw someone wiping their brow.

DREAM: SINGING IN THE SPIRIT IN UNITY, BUT DIFFERENT
RHYTHMS
Grandma Anna & I were in a meeting. She was along one
wall, I was along the opposite wall facing her. She
began to sing in the Spirit a beautiful and unusual
foreign song in tongues. After a few lines, I felt led
to sing along with her in alto. My language was another
one, and I had a syncopated beat that fit perfectly with
her long drawn out notes and smooth melody. I started to
clap my hands in rhythm, going twice as fast to my own
syncopated beat, that still fit perfectly with Anna’s
song going twice as slow. Then 2 more people joined. The
harmony was lovely. I knew the whole meeting would join
in shortly.

WORD TO PONDER: LINED UP WITH MY TIME TABLE
Some of My loved ones think life goes by too fast,
and some of them think it is too slow.
Some have been sweating and striving to get somewhere
in My kingdom. I want them to slow down and walk in
peace.
I have you each on a different path not only in what
you hear, but also in your walk with Me. And yet, I have
all of you in perfect sync with one another and going
the pace I ordained for you. This is true with your life
in Me, your ministries and your relationships.
You are lined up perfectly in My time table, and are
moving forward towards My goal in one massive unit. You
are a great company of people going forth in parallel
movement. You shall go forth as My banner. Let My plan
unfold naturally in your life.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell together in unity!" (Psalm 133:1 KJV)

KEEPING PACE, Dont Strive
HEARD: Go directly. Lift your voice. The gospel.
I saw a metronome.
PIX:
I saw a big pendulum type thing with a ball on the end
that looked like it might be swinging on the end of a
large time clock, but did not see the clock.
(A metronome is a time piece that sits by a piano that
goes click, click, click. It also has a pendulum thing
that swings. These are used to keep time with the
rhythm.)
HEARD:
Keeping pace. You don't have to worry about it. The
anointing. It abides. Rest.
YOU
DONT HAVE TO SWEAT TO MINISTER - Just walk in the Spirit
and Follow Him
Ezek 44:16-18 NKJV
"They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near
My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My
charge. 17 And it shall be, whenever they enter the
gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen
garments; no wool shall come upon them while they
minister within the gates of the inner court or within
the house. 18 They shall have linen turbans on their
heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not
clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat .
