Tell My beloved, it is time to get to work. It is time to take Me seriously. Tell them to disregard all the unprofitable distractions that separate them from Me.
Scriptures references:
Philippians 1:6 – And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
II Cor. 9:8-9 – And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. John 15:1-16:1
These distractions are designed to manipulate your thinking and your behaviors. Learn to discern spirits of fear, greed, lust and deceptions. Do not be taken in by them.
Scriptures references:
Nehemiah 4 thru 6 – In 586 B.C. Judah was conquered by the Babylonians and Jerusalem was destroyed with many Israelites carried away to Babylon.
Circa 500 B.C. the Persians were in power and allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem. Nehemiah went back to rebuild the walls. He faced incredible distractions and hindrances.

How can you learn to discern the spirits—the forces—behind words designed to control you? Hear Me carefully. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things you have need of will be given to you. As you seek Me, ask Me for wisdom and understanding.
Scriptures references:
Philippians 1:9-11 – And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment 10so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God.
Consider carefully—be aware of your ways and your heart in the light and truths of My words to you in the Scriptures. For it is in the Scriptures you will find the words of life which are sharp and precise, able to discern between spirit and soul.
Scriptures references:
James 1:22-25 – But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror…and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres…
Hebrews 4:12 – For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, or joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
You cannot discern good from evil in your own carnal ability or knowledge. Nevertheless, you can see in history and even now where arrogance and rebellion against God have led to much destruction and violence—much sorrow in the earth.
Therefore, I say to you—to mankind—come to Me in humility and repentance. Dedicate your heart and life to Me with determination to learn My heart and My ways, walking faithfully before Me.
Scriptures references:
Acts 2:38-39 – And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, 39For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to Himself.”
Then you will learn to discern between good and evil. Your spiritual enemies will not be able to distract or deceive you as you remain in Me and I remain in you—as My words are strong in your mind and heart. With peace and confidence, you will know you are walking forward in harmony with My love and truth.
Scriptures references:
I Peter 4:7-19 – The end of all things is at hand; therefore, be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.8Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. 9Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace…
What work—what task is it time to do in your life and in the earth today? Pay attention as My Holy Spirit nudges your heart to spend time with Me. Spend time with Me in My words to you found in the Scriptures, in prayer and in listening as I speak to your heart.
Allow My truths and My love to wash over you and cleanse you. You will learn to discern, and you will be free to hear My Holy Spirit speak to your heart without the distractions that interfere.
Scriptures references:
John 14:15-26 – If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 16And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, 17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you…
You will be free to love the Lord your God with all your strength, soul, mind and determination. You will be free to love others with God’s love. You will be free to fulfill your purpose with God’s anointing. Now is the time for genuine liberty.
Scriptures references:
John 8:31-32 – So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
