GROW AT YOUR OWN PACE
2/12/22 GROW AT YOUR OWN PACE
HEARD: Maturity. Growing up naturally. At your own pace. Not someone else’s.
PRECIOUS CONFIRMATION!
I was preparing my planner for next week. I wanted to find a sticker to add to the 2nd page and opened one of my sticker books. It opened to this sticker! I had never seen it before.
CONFIRMATION: Today I turned to page 30 in Sept printed rhema below and my eye stopped on the word PACE.
9/07/21 WISDOM IN YOUR PACE OF WALKING IN FELLOWSHIP
Communicate. Wired. (Wired and connected to hear the Lord) Wisdom in following through. To pace yourself, it’s the wise choice.
2/16/16: The way to communicate. The gospel at the pace of walking.
This applies to fellowship and relating to His people. But it can also apply to our fellowship with the Lord. I was thinking about how we want to hear more from the Lord, but He speaks at the pace we are willing to walk it out.

Recently, I heard the Lord speaking over many in the body of Christ “I am changing the pace to prepare you for the new space! Pay attention to the PACE” When the Lord spoke this, I felt that the Lord was highlighting strongly right now to pay attention to “His pace” and not just run at the pace that you are “used to” because that’s what you are accustomed to and used to.
The Lord showed me that He is leading many into a time of ‘pulling back’ but it is not ‘decrease’, it is to move into the development room with Him, deep into the secret place to be prepared for the ‘new space’.
PARABLE: Last week I received an invitation to join Noom (a way to lose weight) for a free trial. I have wanted to know what it was all about so I joined for the trial. They have 3 choices for the pace you want to take the lessons and of course I chose the fastest because I wanted to get the most from the free trial as possible. The second week I started to feel stressed and realized the pace of the lessons were too fast for me because I took notes, pondered and wrote in my journal how the lessons applied to me. I could not keep up with my rhema and their lessons. After hearing the above about maturing at our own pace, I had a good example. The Noom lessons are about behavior change and it was important to me to get the most from what was said by taking the time to apply it to my life, not just listen.
On a spiritual level, that is an example of being not just a hearer, but a doer of the word! If we want more from the Lord we need to be willing to walk out what He is saying.
WORD TO PONDER: FOLLOW THE LORD’S PACE FOR YOU 2/12/22
Precious child, I have called you to march at the pace of a different drummer. Who is that drummer? It is you and I as we walk united as One in fellowship. When you feel pressures from others to change your pace – check your feet. Are they marching in peace? Do you feel hurried, stressed, pushed, exhausted, or do you feel you are going at a snail’s pace… what really matters?
Your level of maturity, your level of growth is only within Me. I alone hold the keys to draw you, stretch you and mature you. I AM the Master Farmer Who waits for My precious fruit of the earth. I send your rain, your food, your equipping, all you need to grow up and advance My kingdom. My timing is perfect in your life. You are not too late and not too early. You are just right and what I have planted inside of you will come to full maturity in My kyros time.
Set aside the expectations of man and put your eyes on Me. Just like the wind and the water, sometimes I rush fast and sometimes I linger. Watch Moses as he slowed his pace to turn aside towards the burning bush. Life with Me is rarely about the goal, but the journey dear one.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
