The Lord of Heaven says, “Beloved, let’s take a look at your calendar together and examine what you have planned for today, this week, this month, and even this year. And now I ask the question, whose plans are they? Are they yours or are they mine?
The plans that you have in your calendar may be good, but they are not mine. So, now I ask you, will you surrender your plans to me in order to align with My purposes and timings?
Will you set aside your ‘small ambitions’ for My call as I release the shout of ‘Kairos!’ to synchronize you to My timings?
This is a call to pay attention to this moment.
Stop and listen as I speak.
I am decreeing and releasing My plans and sharing them with My children because I don’t want you to be directionless, doing good things, but not advancing the Kingdom.
And like the men of Issachar, I want you to hear from Me and know what should be done. So, let us work together as co-laborers! Put your hand to My plough, and without looking back, walk forward with Me.” Says the Lord.
Activation:
Stop. Breathe.
As you breathe in (Yah) and out (weh) be aware that this speaks the name of Yahweh. Let His breath in your lungs calm your spirit.
In this calm, begin to share your plans with God and ask Him to highlight where your plans and His do not match. Allow Him to re-organise your days and re-align them according to His plan and purpose.
This may be as simple as asking Holy Spirit to prompt you to pray for folk as you work, walk into town, or go shopping. As the ‘Parable of the Ten Talents’ shows us, these smaller activities help you to learn to be faithful in the little things, and as you do, He will grow you and trust you with more.
He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went into a Samaritan village to make arrangements for Him;
Luke 9:52 (AMP)
Of the tribe of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, two hundred chiefs; and all their relatives were at their command;
1 Chronicles 12:32 (ASV)
6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.7 A time to [a]tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to keep silent and a time to speak.8 A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.Ecclesiastes 3:6-8 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Ecclesiastes 3:7 This may be a reference to the practice of tearing one’s clothes as a sign of mourning which began early among the Hebrews. Cf Gen 37:29. There are many references to this in the Old Testament. Solomon was no doubt familiar with this practice as his own father engaged in it with his contemporaries. Cf 2 Sam 3:31.
