Yesterday, I had a very bad fall and suddenly fell flat on my face, and did not think I could ever get up.

My head hit the ground hard and I have a huge bruise and much redness above my left eye that left me with tremendous head pain all night.

Also, my left knee and my left hand, all the way up to my elbow felt paralyzed.

I still have a lot of numbness in my hand.  I tell you this to say, I was up all night with me and my dog.  He has been having a seizure-like shaking, but I managed to calm him down and sleep.

I decided this morning that I would start moving my left knee and after putting Sombra on it, most of the soreness is gone!  PTL!

My back still hurts and my left hand, but I can tell you this, God moved in my body so that tonight I am able to walk without pain!

What a mighty God we serve!

This morning as I laid in bed praying, The LORD said, “The big Shift that has taken place all over the world, in so many places, is causing Big Changes.

Tell My People to be careful before rushing ahead into changes.

My Daughter, It is time to ‘take it easy’!

Do you understand —  “Seek My Face, seek My Wisdom”?  

Slow down!”

I was reminded of a poem I have always loved and shared a long time ago in a post called Desiderata written by Max Ehrman in 1927.

It starts out saying Go Placidly…  Go Placidly means quietly with serenity… ah yes, it means go calmly.

So God is saying to us, “Slow down!”

We must slow down so we do not miss the alignments we least expected, possibly the PILL we didn’t want to swallow, that possibly would be the very thing that leads us to the icing on the cake.

This poem is very timely for the times we are now in so I sense that many need to hear those words today.

“Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.”

For myself, I have learned it signifies to me personally, desire to be a peacemaker as much as possible.

Go in peace, walk in peace, carry peace, create and leave behind you a peaceful atmosphere wherever you go.

Simply, desire to be an instrument of PEACE as much as possible.  It also helped to me accept the Serenity Prayer.

It took quite a while for me to ACCEPT those things that I cannot change, change those things that I can and have the wisdom to know the difference.  But, I have learned to live by that wise advice.

Somehow I felt to share that today especially for someone struggling with something they cannot change.

Only God can change a heart and change always begins in the heart.

The LORD seems to be preempting my plans the last two days in a BIG WAY.  I actually had my day planned and I thought it was a must-do plan in my determination to put all my paperwork in order — but this morning as I entered into His presence, He began to lead me in His Plan for my day and I tell you — His Plan is always Great..

I heard The Father say, “Dear one, be still, slow down.

I want your full attention.

I love when I you sit silently before Me and I can tiptoe in and break the silence with a warm embrace and speak gently into your listening ears.

It gives me such pleasure when your heart is tuned into my frequency and I can whisper My Secrets and My Desires for you,” said The Lover of my Soul.

At first, it didn’t LOOK like a good plan to me, but I suddenly was awakened to what The LORD was doing.

He was ordering my day by giving me a “look in my rear view mirror” of my Prophetic Journey with Him over the last 4 or 5 years.

When I opened my email, it was not on the ”normal” current page — but back to my oldest email!  Reversed order!

I tell this happened once before and I now feel as those I am going back in time to finally step into the Fullness of His plan for my life.

“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”   Psalm 16:11.

I am sharing it here because The LORD said, “I AM leading back to The Word I gave that is now being fulfilled in your midst.

The fullness of time is coming into perfect view for many of My Promises and Plans for My Remnant Bride and My Purpose for your calling for these end time days.

Many have gone forward at times out of my timing and are now frustrated, because what they MADE happen is now at a standstill or just placed on hold while I AM fitting together every piece of the puzzle according to My Perfect Plan.

Many are weary with well-doing — but I AM encouraging you today that My Yoke is easy and My Burden is light.

Go slowly, listen well, and walk in peace for I have designated My Called-out Ones to a place of rest and peace and overflowing grace for this time of Faith that Fullness of Joy,” says The LORD of all.

“I AM going to cut through all the red tape and chaos and align my Chosen Ones.

I AM fine tuning the song that I have put in your heart with the sound of the Throne Room of Heaven.

Rest in My Presence, for I AM refreshing you and filling you to overflowing with My unending love.  You shall dance to the tune of rhythm of My Grace.”

He said, “Tell My Chosen ones that My Time comes when every piece is in place.

Eternity is in my heart and I work outside of your finite picture of time.”

He said, “Beloved daughter, you have been on a Journey of Obedience.

There were many details and small things that I wanted to point out to you as you move forward to carry out My Word,” says The Holy Spirit who teaches and enlightens.

“Small things make a big difference.

Never, never despise small beginnings, and never forget everything has a beginning and an end and I AM The Beginning and The End and I will always finish what I begin.

So the draining of the swamp in America is not over yet, and the cleaning up of corruption all over My World is not done — but it is coming to a close, and I will finish what I have started.

Donald Trump will be enabled to finish his assignment that I appointed him to complete,” says The LORD.

“Know that I, The LORD, will put the finishing touches on this new picture of RESTORATION and REVOLUTION.”

The LORD then led me to a Word as I closed out my time with Him… It is from The Passion Translation.  I know it was His gentle finishing touch for us today.

Be blessed my friends and receive His empowerment to overcome and be victorious!

I Hear His Whisper…

“My life is victory in you.  The victory I call you to walk in is already within you.  When everything seems difficult, yield to my life within, and you will find grace.  My promise is a promise of victory, and my victory is my life released in you.  I dispense my glory when you open your heart deeper to me.  Taste my victory and rest in me, for I have overcome all things.
.
I have brought you to this place because of my passionate and tender love for you.  I want to show you my victory.  I want you to learn of me and take my easy yoke upon your soul and find rest.  Have I not promised to lead you to the quiet brooks of peace?  I will show you the path as you still your heart before me.  Trust in me and not in what you see.  Believe in me when fear attempts to stop your advance, and you will find my oasis of victory.  Even when you don’t know what to do or what step to take, my peace will guide you.  Take my gift of today’s victory and be content as I prepare tomorrow’s triumph.”

Whispers : written by ^©Brian Simmons and Gretchen Rodriguez

“You empower me for victory with your wrap-around presence. Your power within makes me strong to subdue, and by stooping down in gentleness you strengthened me and made me great.”   Psalm 18:35 TPT.

Full version of  Desiderata: Original Text  (This is the original text from the book where Desiderata was first published)

“Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.”   by Max Ehrmann ©1927
