“My dear child, as the seasons change, you know you need to change the way you dress. Your winter coat is designed to keep you warm as temperatures plummet. But if you wear your winter coat in summer heat, there is a potential danger to your health. If you wear flip-flops in the snow, you could become sick. Not all things are right in every season,” says the Spirit of the Lord.
“I want you to understand that the same applies in spiritual matters. Take a moment and look at what you needed in previous seasons that you have allowed to follow you through the door into this season.
In a time of shaking, much of the old will no longer be useful or helpful to you. Thought patterns, daily rhythms, even work-life balance will need to be reassessed.
Allow Me to show you the new ways of thinking that will hold you in the shaking. Allow Me to clothe you in the right garments that will hold you in this season. Allow Me to reform patterns of rest so that you can remain alert.”
