SETTING YOUR PACE FOR THE NEW SEASON
10/05/21 SETTING YOUR PACE FOR THE NEW SEASON
Since the night of Day of Atonement, The Lord has emphasized the need to pace myself in the new season that is unfolding. He has continued to bring this back to my table and I know it is a Word for all of us.
9/06/21 PACE YOUR WALK AS YOU SHARE
Communicate. Wired. Wisdom in following through. To pace yourself, it’s the wise choice.
10/02/21: I saw 3 bungee cords all connected in a triangle. Hang on. The word STRETCH was quickened to me when I saw them.
10/07/21: Energy. Balancing act. I am keeping you. Your faith is strong. You are stable.
First of all God always gives us grace and equips us for where He sends us. This grace, preparation and gifts includes how much we spend in our time, energy and resources to accomplish His purposes. And in this new Hebraic year He is also emphasizing the need to set and protect our boundaries. In the midst of so much change and release of fresh passion, it is important to pray over and know how to walk it out without ending up overwhelmed, or exhausted or in burnout.
As an example for me, I have a journal that also has a planner. I have a daily list of what I need to accomplish in order to get my life back into balance and healthy, spirit, soul, body. For years I operated in one mode and ignored everything else. I had my wakeup call in 2020 and have made the changes I needed to find a balanced life.
For my body, these tasks include getting atleast 6 hours sleep. If I don’t get it, I take a nap. It includes eating right along with the time, energy and money it takes to accomplish that for each meal. It includes daily exercise. For my soul it includes things like fellowship at the QWN and time with loved ones. It includes a tiny block of time every day to create. For my spirit, it includes time with the Lord, time in rhema and harvesting it to share.
These are written out in my weekly planner, and I mark them off each day when done. I usually have a weekly goal that I do a little each day to accomplish by the end of the week. I have noticed with this new season the pace has picked up. I am still doing the same things, but the increase has come and so it is taking me more time and spending ME more. I am now finding I need to pace myself just as He warned.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WALKS WITH ME
I saw Someone walking beside me. He had a navy blue sweatshirt on with its hood over his head. I was not able to see his face or hair. By impartation I knew he had dark hair, like the Holy Spirit. You are aligned. Celebrate. The adventure begins.
The fact that He had on a SWEATSHIRT was really quickened. The faceless Man is the Holy Spirit and He is walking with us in places where we labor and/or sweat. The fact His hair and face is not visible is also quickened as a pantomime/ role modeling the Lord’s protection and covering as we walk with Him. Once again we were walking together, not running or stressing. The sweatshirts that are best are made with 100% cotton, so as to protect from sweat. He does not want us to sweat in our tasks. He wants us to learn how NOT to sweat in our tasks.
10/08/21 THE HOLY SPIRIT MY FRIEND
Absolutely yes. I assure you. Have a nice day. Welcome my friend. We shall walk together.
Your concerns. I have heard them. We will work through them together. Yes I am your Friend. I care about these things. Where can we walk together? Anywhere you want. I am always with you. I am always your Friend. How may I help you?
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
LESSON IN OVERLOAD
I was feeling overwhelmed by a series of questions someone asked me to consider via email. I felt the need to answer each one but this is what the Lord said: Just listen. You don’t have to reply to everything. I was reminded of the need to pace myself and walk balanced where I spread my time wisely and not overdo anything.
9/15/21 A LEISURELY WALK, NOT A MARATHON
I dreamed I was taking my morning walk, and Someone was leisurely walking along side of me. This walk was more like an easy-going stroll, rather than a marathon.
2/16/16 THE GOSPEL AT THE PACE OF WALKING
The way to communicate. I heard, the gospel at the pace of walking. I saw a giant ball, much bigger than the one my grandson was sitting on, in the scrapbook page I did this week. I had kicked a ball to someone and it took a few moments and then it was thrown back to me.
This applies to fellowship and relating to one another. 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.
WORD TO PONDER: PACE YOURSELF IN A FRESH NEW SEASON 10/05/21
Precious children, you will notice I am lighting the flame of passion to move you once again. It is My joy and desire to bring you into new places of freedom, influence and productivity as you trust Me to move you to new assignments.
Remember to keep your boundaries protected. These are the priorities I have set for you through scripture, through following your conscience and through walking in wisdom in how to live your life in freedom and health. I want you to walk in this new kindled season, not run. I want you to walk together with those whom I have grafted you to walk with. And I want to be Your friend as you learn the joy of stretching and returning, stretching and returning.
Yes stretch. Consider this season like a 3 fold triangle made of bungee cords. It will be a unique blend of you, Myself and others walking together where each has a part to play. There will be days and times where you feel STRETCHED as you spend yourself. Yes I DO stretch you but I don’t want you to live there. Those are times when I stretch your faith, your emotions, your time and energy, but I will also quickly call you back to keep your boundaries of BALANCE. In this season, you will learn how to juggle many balls and pass them on. Your one main constant is leaning on Me as I move you into a new season of recovery and restoration. Enjoy your adventure!
Leviticus 26:12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.
Ephesians 5:15-17 See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
