Be Bold In Your Decisions

January 8, 2025

Good afternoon Jesus. Wow, you have given me a new direction and I was a little bit leery, wondering if my discernment was from your Spirit or my flesh. But you want me to be bold about these things?

As an aside, guys, I was in adoration, just the first of the year, you know? Thinking about a lot of things: and thinking about the group. I talked to one of the intercessors who leads the group, and they were telling me about how many are not showing up anymore. I have been guilty of that myself—with my condition—and just thoughts coming to my mind. I felt in my heart, that the Lord really wanted me, again, to make changes and tighten up ship because of the new season that I’m coming into as well, that things really need to be covered. So I felt Jesus begin to speak.

Jesus began,

“My beloved, this group, this ministry, and this mission are very dear to My heart. It is My work of mercy, one of My many works that will be manifested on the earth. I had mentioned before that some of those who began with you would no longer continue with you. And for some, it's just for a season. But I am looking for intercessors faithful, intercessors to back up the work and to cover you more and more as this new season in your life is coming. You won't be as readily available, and your focus will now be on your family. But that should not stop the work of ministry but rather the faithful few will stand in the gap for you, covering you and your beloved when you are not able to cover yourself.

“[For ]the others I am releasing, this is a season for them as well, to draw nearer to Me in intimacy—to hear My voice and get instructions from Me concerning their personal lives and even their own ministries. I am pleased with those who have risen up in obedience to Me and began using their gifts and now walking in their own ministries. Encourage them not to be despondent. This is not a demotion but rather a simple change in direction. And if they continue to be faithful to My inspirations and My directions to them concerning their ministry and serving and being available to the new group, they will be blessed as well.

“To My motley crew of a few who are still standing, I will continue to train you in warfare, intense warfare, and prayer. But the greatest foundation you all will need will be brotherly love, humility, obedience, and holiness. It would do good to share that link to all the intercessors to go back and listen to My messages on holiness. This is not only an intercessor ministry, but this is a ministry of intimacy of, self-denial, of simplicity, and lowliness. Some are not aware of that and have not been taught in that way—and they must. The gift of prayer is one thing but walking in the virtue and living out holiness is another. And that is what I want for the entire group. And to you, My little one, you must be faithful with the time you have left before the changes in your life come.

“Do as much now, and get as much done as you can, now. FOCUS is so important and discipline with your time and schedule is very necessary. It will help you and prepare you, once the changes come, to adjust more rather easily than just going with how you feel. Keep your eyes steadfast on Me, Beloved. Don’t be afraid, as a leader, to make bold decisions when I inspire or confirm it to you. You are a Mother, but you are My leader and watchman. There are things on the horizon that others may not perceive but I will give you insight and decisions, concerning souls, that must be made to go further in the work and the mission I have called you to. In order to obtain harmony and continuity of My Spirit moving through like-minded souls to accomplish the task or mission at hand. Make the decision and go forth in boldness and in love I am with you all.”’

That was the end of Jesus’ message.

I decided to get a reading from the “Jesus CEO” book when I have to make a decision or discern something that concerns the group. It is always a good compass. I encourage anyone in leadership to get this book. The chapter Holy Spirit gave me was called, “He was Bold”. When I read it, it confirmed the Lord wanted us to make some big changes in the group and to not be afraid or timid about it, confirming this message.

Reading from Jesus CEO

He was Bold

Jesus did not mumble or whisper his message. He did not discuss for hours the safest approach for doing something. He did not go through countless committees to get permission to make a statement. He was bold. He shouted. He stomped. He flung tables and chairs. He cried, He groaned. Everything he did made a statement about what he saw his mission to be. He crashed into people's consciousness with deeds, attitudes, and actions that had never been done, seen, or even heard of before. One could say he used his very blood to pain his message. That was how bold he was. Understanding that authority must be assumed, within, before it can be recognized externally. Jesus boldly took his authority. He did not wait until he had the total picture. He did not wait until there was a cloudless sky. He flew his bater high and carried it on a day-to-day basis. He took the canvas of his life and painted a message big enough, bold enough, and bright enough for everyone to see.

He walked into the temple at twelve years old and started teaching. He stormed into the temple as an adult and turned things upside down. He called a spade a spade and apologized to no one—not out of arrogance but out of boldness and clarity.

A magazine article recently featured the story of a couple who set sail across the Pacific Ocean on a small ship. One night a terrific storm arose. The ship tossed and bobbed finally capsizing. The woman survived to tell the tale, but the man did not. What is interesting is that the woman said she had sensed the danger and had warned her companion. He refused to listen to her, and the boat went down. In the article, she actually berated herself for not taking more power in the dangerous situation before tragedy struck. “My life was at stake, too, but because he was the captain I felt it wasn’t my place to argue too much”

She regretfully said, at one point, “I should have been more adamant. I should have been more bold. Perhaps if I had been the boat would not have sunk, and there would be two of us alive today”. What is the cost of timidity? What are the rewards of being bold? My dad used to say, “He who hesitates is lost”. My friend Catherine’s favorite saying is, “Not to decide is to decide”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was warned by his staff that his plans to end the Depression were too large, too costly, and too rough.

“Well, he thundered, they aren’t perfect in every way but By God, we’ve got to do something. His administration is credited with putting this country back on its feet again. All because one leader was bold.

Jesus was bold.

One of the intercessors had a vision and shared it with me. I was driving a bus and the Lord said to her, “This is the Heartdwellers Africa family”. I was at the bus station waiting for people to come on board, but everyone was just doing their own thing. Some were outside the bus busy with other things, others were on the bus looking outside. The Lord told the intercessors what was going on in the group. I was ready to go but the people the Lord had given me were not cooperating fully that their mind wasn’t in sync with mine. They received this vision a while back and just shared it with me.  Very interesting.

Well, family please continue to pray for us, this ministry, and the group in this change that has come. Also, we are low on donations still and school for the kids in Ghana starts today. We are still unable to pay school fees and all we need is $434 to have the remaining thirteen kids we support go to school for the whole semester which is 3 months. So please any amount you can donate to us would be such a blessing via a PayPal or our GoFundMe account or check.

God bless you, family, until the next message.
