It’s Time
Baby Girl,
Turn the video off and sit with Me a moment. Your mind just began echoing a message you heard a few days ago: “When God speaks, if it will bless you, it will bless others.”
Now you’re listening to this current message a third time to hear what you clearly heard from Me the first time: “It’s time. Release it. What I’m bringing into the house, if it’s not released from the house, it will die in the house.”
Isaiah 30:8 was mentioned: “Now go, and write.” I want you to take a few minutes and read Isaiah 30 in context.
- 5 MINUTES LATER -
In tears. Do you see how I am pulling this all together? These letters have been a very intimate and personal call to holiness. Throughout the past nine months, I have been birthing something in you that I intended to release as a call to My children, not just in the United States but around the world.
Fear just gripped you. Cast it out. That spirit is not from Me. My burden is easy and My yoke is light. I’m doing this; I’m just releasing it through you.
You have learned to hold My hand as a child who knows there is safety in walking hand-in-hand with Me. You know how we have talked about how, in tennis, you have a ready position? As soon as you hit the ball, you run back and get in ready position for when the ball is returned.
I want you to have two ready positions as we move into this new season and give birth…
You’re distracted. Google “how many days are a typical pregnancy,” then do the math from the first letter you emailed your partner.
A typical pregnancy is 280 days. It has been 265. I’ll explain why this matters in a minute.
The two ready positions I would like you to maintain are:
Hand in hand
Curled up in My arms
You will need to walk hand in hand with Me through this journey so I am able to keep you on the right path and so that I can protect you when the enemy inevitably lashes out to stop you.
He will - but remember: he is a defeated foe. He appears more powerful than he really is. If you’re holding My hand, you can stand nose to nose, eye to eye, and boldly command that he get out of your way - and he must.
There will be times when you feel the weight of this call is bigger than you; when you face opposition; when you face accusations; when you struggle to stand, climb up into My loving arms, and allow Me to hold you.
Don’t pick up the phone, pick up the food, or cry to a friend. They don’t know what you need in that moment. In moments that bring you to your knees, I will know what you need and I will provide it without you saying a word to anyone.
Watch as divine favor, protection, and grace will follow you every day of your life.
With each of My letters, you have been obedient with reckless abandon and have been enjoying the fruit of obedience. You’re not even surprised anymore as you daily experience My favor along with the obvious favor of man. You have come to expect it and have learned to receive it with a grateful heart.
In years past, when I poured out blessings from Heaven through the hands and mouths of man, you have rejected it in favor of the prideful spirit of unworthiness. You lived out of who you believed you were rather than who I have said you are. You rebelliously insulated yourself from My favor and experienced lack in every area of your life.
You have had a knowing in your spirit that these letters were to be shared and have sensed they will be far reaching. That’s an understatement. I intend for these letters to reach My children in every nation in the world.
…And there you go again. You have been to the bathroom three times in the hour we’ve been talking. That is nerves. Why are you nervous? Do you not believe that I am more than capable of doing this?
How it will happen and when it will happen is none of your business and making it happen will not be your responsibility. I have resources prepared. I just need your cooperation.
Before we can release this, you have one last stronghold you have stubbornly refused to surrender and I need your complete agreement in order for Me to grant you complete freedom.
Delete the video where you pulled and compiled portions of My letters about food. Those words will remain in the letters but they are not to be singled out. This call to holiness is not for one area of your life but for your life as a whole.
I am not content to have any of My children held in bondage in any area of their lives, especially one as essential as food.
For the next fifteen days, I want you to DELIGHT in food! Do not eat in your car or while you work or even while putting on makeup. Select what you will eat thoughtfully. Plate what you will eat intentionally. Make it look good. If that first bite doesn’t hit the spot, throw it away and choose a different meal.
I do not want My children to ever be wasteful with food but I need you to take “I hate food and I wish it didn’t exist” out of your mouth. I need to know that when you speak about the gift I gave you in food that it will never be a message mixed with thoughts the enemy has offered you.
Food is good. I want My children to respect what food does in their bodies but not to fear. The Fear of the Lord means reverence. I want you to have a reverential fear of food - not fear from the enemy about food.
Fear from the enemy causes bondage; fear from the Lord causes health.
Eat with your family and friends. Talk about food with the same joy you experience when you consume it.
Fifteen days. During these fifteen days, while you have complete freedom around what you consume with your body, I want you to fast what you take into your mind.
The only thing I want you to listen to through your headphones for the next fifteen days is Isaiah 30 and worship music.
No, you are not to listen to sermons or teachings on Isaiah. You are not to listen to the book of Isaiah. You are not to look up the meaning of the words or to study Isaiah 30. I want you to listen and meditate. I will be speaking and I don’t want you distracted.
This is the final step before we can release these words to the world.
Back to work.
Daddy
