Baby Girl,

Follow the way. When you enter a town…

Luke 10?

Yes.

I just listened to it. What are You trying to tell me?

What did I tell you before you visited with Pastor Chad?

Very clearly, You said, “Speak little. Listen. Limit your words.”

Did you?

Compared to my meeting with Pastor Boo, yes, I did.

You asked Pastor Chad if he had a time constraint. He said 15 minutes. How long did you speak?

About 25.

Do you trust Me?

Yes.

Then why do you feel the need to convince people you have heard from Me?

I didn’t know that’s what I was doing.

What did Pastor Boo warn you about?

“With 144 pastors, there will be some who will not know how to receive your message.”

What did you tell him?

I told him about the vision in the letter “Don’t Sit Down.”

Listen to Luke 10 again. Close your eyes and listen with your spirit. Tell Me what you hear.

“Jesus sent the 70 two by two into every place He Himself was about to go.” Am I not to go to meet with these pastors alone?

The second half of that sentence…

“…into every place He Himself was about to go.”

That’s it.

Keep reading. Listen with your spirit.

“Pray the LORD to send out laborers.”

It’s not YOUR job to get pastors to send their congregations out into their communities to walk around their cities and pray.

I didn’t think it was. I didn’t exactly know WHY You were having me give these pastors this book. I certainly didn’t expect pastors to stand before the church and tell them, “Hey, I got this book. I think we as a church should do this. Let’s go walk around our cities and pray.”

What did I name the book?

Walk Around Your City, A Call to Pray.

Hello - who is calling them to pray?

You are.

Then WHY do you think I’m having you give them the book?

Should I be telling them this is what you want them to do with the book? I haven’t known WHAT to say to them. When I called the second church to see if I could talk to the pastor, the secretary asked if I knew the pastor and I said no. She wanted to know why I wanted to meet with him and I didn’t know what to tell her without telling her the whole story.

Why didn’t you say, “the LORD is sending me?”

Because if I said that, people would probably think I was crazy.

Do you?

Do I what?

Do you think you’re crazy?

No.

Do you believe I AM who you say I AM?

Yes.

With your WHOLE heart?

Absolutely.

Then WHY do you feel the need to dance around the truth? You’re wanting them to see the breadcrumbs because it was the breadcrumbs that made you believe.

Keep listening.

“Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be with this house.’ If a son of Peace is there, your Peace will rest on it.”

Why did you capitalize Peace?

I’m not sure. I guess in a way, when I heard it, I read Your name in place of the word Peace.

When you enter into these churches to deliver these books, bring Peace with you. Go boldly in My name. When they ask why you would like to meet with the pastor, you are simply to say, “The LORD sent me.”

Answer their questions. If they have no questions, leave the book with them and bless them as you leave.

What do you mean, “bless them?”

(I googled.) “In a Biblical context, to bless someone signifies extending God’s favor, grace or well-being, often in the form of prayers, encouragement or acts of kindness, reflecting a desire for their prosperity and well-being.”

Okay, so I call the church and ask to meet with the pastor.

Ask for 10 minutes. Let the secretary know you will be brief. When you meet with the pastors, and eventually principals, if he or she wants to hear more, they will ask. Follow THEIR lead, not your agenda.

I didn’t know I had an agenda?

Your agenda has been to be understood. That is not your assignment.

Your assignment is to deliver books to the pastors and principals and a bookmark to the secretary.

You have written a letter explaining why they are receiving the book…

It doesn’t say anything about them having their congregations read the book and walk around their cities if that is Your point in me delivering them…

You have written a letter explaining why they are receiving the book. You have written a prayer that you will have prayed over them twice before delivering it. The rest of the assignment belongs to Holy Spirit.

Keep listening.

This sounds like a horrible outcome for those who do not receive the 70: “Go out into the streets and say, ‘Woe to you…’”. I’m not to do that when it is not well received, am I?

How you are received is none of your concern. Keep listening.

“Blessed are those who see what you see…”

Little One, ask for 10 minutes. Enter each house after praying in the spirit on the drive. When asked why you want to speak with the pastor, answer that the LORD sent you. If they do not grant you a visit, leave the book with the secretary, pray with her, and be on your way.

Answer as many questions as they ask but say nothing more. Stay as long as they want. Leave no house without a blessing. Ask to pray with them before you leave. I will tell you what to pray. All you need to do is listen.

This sounds a lot easier than how I handled the first two.

What I ask of you is simple when you simply obey. I allowed you to pour your soul out with Pastor Boo. You were encouraged. Now tuck your soul away and obey. You prayed in the spirit before you met with Pastor Chad, walked in the church, and forgot what I said.

Have I made My instructions clear?

Yes. Ask for 10 minutes. If they ask what about, I say, “the LORD sent me to deliver this book and a letter.” If that’s not enough information for the secretary to allow me to speak with the pastor, I pray with her and leave the book with her for the pastor.

When I meet with a pastor or principal, ask if the have any questions. If they do, answer as many questions as they ask and no more. Offer to pray with them before I leave and You will lead me in how to pray?

Yes.

Back to bed, Little One.

This task is easy. When you pray ahead of time, I will go before you. When you pray on the way, I will be with you. When you pray as you leave, My Spirit will rest on that book and letter.

Your ministry partner asked you why you wanted a prayer group for those who have declared to you their intentions to hold you up in prayer. You said you would ask Me about it.

You will share with your personal prayer team the name of every pastor and their church as you print the prayer for them.

You will share the entire prayer with the pastor’s name and church name in it and ask them to pray that prayer out loud. If they don’t want to read the exact same prayer HUNDREDS of times, tell them not to commit to partnering with you in prayer. They are NOT partnering with YOU in prayer. They are AGREEING with you for My Will.

Tell them if they join you as a prayer partner, they are promising Me that they will read each prayer OUT LOUD each time they receive the notification and I will hold them accountable to their word. Tell them not to agree half-heartedly.

Share this letter with anyone who volunteers to partner with you in prayer and let them know that they should not agree to partner with you in prayer unless they understand the commitment.

This is the group of people with whom you will share your experiences, the breadcrumbs, and the miracles you see along the way.

You will share joyfully and wholeheartedly but ONLY as I lead. This includes with your ministry partner. You will share one time and move forward.

You will have so many experiences that you will forget many of them. That’s okay. Share them and keep walking.

When they are to pray against spiritual forces coming against you, you are simply to ask them to come against the enemy. Don’t tell what he is doing, what you see from his kingdom, or in any way glorify or magnify his work. They will pray for you as they feel led by My Spirit. I will show them how to pray.

Do they need to be quiet about what I share?

No. They will invite others to pray. Collectively - city by city, state by state, nation by nation - in prayer, the body will unite as one in opposition to the darkness and, as you know, darkness cannot overcome the light.

You are one itty bitty little candle and the day will come when your light will expire. It doesn’t matter how little your candle is. It matters how many candles you light before your wick is through.

I LOVE the Christmas candlelight services at church!

That will happen beginning in your backyard and, eventually, the whole world will glow as My children worship Me and hold their candles out to light another.

Sweet dreams.

I will stretch the little sleep you have had tonight but you need to become more disciplined with your sleep habits.

I didn't set an alarm for our appointment because I only had the potential for just over five hours of sleep tonight.

Today, I will sustain you will just over three.

No caffeine in the morning.

Notice the strength throughout your day. That’s My supernatural energy you will notice. I will not rob from any area of your life to have you show up fully in another.

LOVE you,

Daddy
