Do you ever need a day, or maybe more...to just rest and recoup from it all? A day to just sit and pet your cat...and do nothing! ššā£ļø
It's been a long couple of weeks. Not much time of rest. Last week was a rough one for more reasons than I can say...and then we had to leave to head to WNC to continue the efforts there.
On top of it all, there has been a whole lot of swirl around several prophetic words/videos that have been going around. Several about our election, DJT, judgement, etc. (Yes, I've seen them all, or most of them)
Many people have been confused and reaching out for help to understand. Almost everyone who has reached out to me, has felt an incongruency in their spirits with some of what they've seen or heard. Many are confused, as they felt some of these prophetic voices were ones they should be listening to, and now they are not sure.
I'm trying to help those to navigate these things, especially those in our Prophetic Forum community, as well as many others, including several pastors and leaders who have reached out to me for my opinion on the matter. I understand, as many of these things released have grieved me also...some greatly.
I am saddened and frustrated at the lack of maturity & overall understanding of what is needed and when, within some who claim to be leaders in the body. Remember, sometimes it is not just what we say, but the way, the tone, and the posture in which we say it. Never forget that if you are called to release a prophetic word...it must be balanced, and must have the right heart posture overall. We cannot mingle what we "think", our ideals, preferences or beliefs in with what we release. It is dangerous if we do. I believe much of what has been released that is causing such chaos, confusion, and division within the prophetic currently, is just that.
I was honestly dealing with a lot of this last week, and even over the weekend while we were in WNC. I can't tell you how difficult and strange it is to try to deal with and discuss these things with folks, all while helping many who have lost so much. We sat and heard from some who we're partnering/teaming up with, about folks they just helped feed that day, who haven't eaten in 2 days! š©ā¤ļøāš©¹
So much of these other things seem vastly unimportant in the grand scheme of things, when you see and hear these things. People are hurting still. People are in much need. It still feels like what is leftover after a war zone there in WNC. I don't mean somewhere out there in the world, but many right here in our own back yards (within a few hundred miles from where we all live)! #Perspective
And yet, I know they are important. They are important in the body right now, and in the prophetic community as a whole for sure. These things must be dealt with and discussed.
I have discussed what I felt I needed to with those who are part of our community, as well as others I'm in closer relationships with. That is all I can do right now.
Darin and I will be addressing some of these issues further, in a more holistic manner soon. We will do some videos (maybe Lives) to discuss our stance in all of this, in as calm, as helpful, and as balanced a way as we can. The good thing is, he and I are šÆ% agreed on all of it, even though he is coming at it from an apostolic view and I from prophetic. I know when we are this aligned without any qualms, that God has given us a peace and balance in our stance.
For right now...we just can't deal with it any more at this time. I am fighting a major tension/migraine headache & neck & shoulder pain, probably from just the tension of all this, and from just going so much this past week and weekend. Darin has instructed that I rest, and take a break for a time from most all of this chaos/craziness that is going on within the prophetic right now...and I am going to do just that.
Yes, I will post what/when I feel necessary...sometimes sharing myself, sometimes sharing what others post, and sometimes just overall sharing some pics of what we've been up to lately. This DOES NOT mean I am actively engaged here on social media, or communicating about these things within the prophetic especially. I am not able to do that right now. I need a break, and I'm taking one. Maybe until after Thanksgiving, maybe after Christmas. We will see.
For those who want to know my stance on certain things, I've shared some posts over the last few days (mostly on social media) that should give you some clues into my stance and beliefs on some things. The rest will have to wait.
Now...back to petting my Calli girl, who is glad we are home after missing us for a few days! š„°
Thanks for understanding folks!
Continued prayers for #Reformation,
