Keep Me First Place

January 4, 2025

Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family. The Lord gave me the Rhema yesterday, Zechariah 13:9,

“And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried”.

My heart dropped because my fairy trials are so hot very difficult and painful. I had just come out [of] the fire after getting this at the beginning of October. I thought we were moving forward towards joy and hope and now this, again? To say I was discouraged was an understatement. It was a struggle, for sure, to stay in prayer and stay focused on Jesus as He made me aware of what the trial would be. It was so hard. I then pulled the rhema today after doing my Lord’s supper and moping a bit. It read

Now who is there to hurt you if you become enthusiastic about what is good?.. But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness you are still blessed (Happy, admired, favored by God. Do not be afraid nor be troubled or disturbed But in your heart. Set Christ apart sanctify Jesus in your heart giving Him 1st place in your life, make Him Holy in your heart)

• 1 Peter 3:13-15

I said so dry, sure Lord. I just dreaded the upcoming trial.

I then pulled the second rhema and it read

“You have touched the hem of my garment”

I then knew something happened in worship and in prayer to me that I didn’t even know, and Jesus wanted to speak to me. So I came before Him.

Jesus, what’s on your heart?

Jesus began

“Keep Me first place, Beloved. Keep Me first place. I will set everything very sure before you. Continue to cling to Me and seek Me out every morning. I need you more than you know. And I know you have need of Me too. All My brides do. Do not allow the busyness and responsibilities of this New Year to strain your time with Me, My beloved brides. I long for you. I’m in need of your love and affection like never before. You see how disheartening it is to watch the news and hear about all the despicable and wicked plans satan and his servants accomplished? It will only increase every year My brides.”

As an aside, being here at my family's house, they always have the TV on in the evenings and informed me of the bombing at Trump Towers, and also the fatalities on Bourbon St. in New Orleans.

“Times will only get darker, and I need My brides to shine even brighter. That will only happen if you spend time with Me and keep Me in first place. No longer allow excuses to steal your trysting time with Me. Please, My brides too many of you stand at a distance because of shame, doubt, and some even out of dryness.

“When you feel dry and in the dark that is when I am more present with you. I have just taken the consolation of My presence. You should be much further along in maturity now to not rush, stop, or decrease your time with Me just because you do not feel Me. Oh ye of little faith, Am I not present with you at every moment? Did I not say I will never leave nor forsake you? I meant every word of it.

“My brides, there are many things on the horizon upon you for this year, many things. Some very tumultuous and others very glorious. As your President gets back in office the battle will indeed begin, They will try every manner to frustrate and intimidate his plans. All their attempts will fail if you continue to pray. Please let the intercessors know, who have carried the prayer line for him, that we are very pleased with them and great grace and consolation are coming to them for their obedience. I love to see My faithful few tarry in prayer and intercession even if no one shows up. Also, the plague, and sickness that are underway.”

Lord what about the outbreak in China, is it something to be concerned about? Is this the plague that you have spoken to us already?

“No, Beloved, it's not. Pray for your Chinese brothers and sisters fervently. I am using this to get their attention and turn hearts to Me. My beloved brides, keep your eyes fixed on Me. These things are on the horizon as I mentioned and will be soon knocking at your door. I will inform My brides as the time gets near. Do not worry, I will not leave My Heartdwellers in the dark about it, just as I didn’t leave you in the dark the first time. I will give you ample time to prepare not only for yourselves but to help others and the poor. My people will be more prepared than they were before because they will know what to expect. You will know what you will need and you will not be left to scramble about like those in fear without their God. No, I will not have My people do that. Rather, you will be an anchor of encouragement, of hope, of truth, and support when that time comes. For now, My brides My only word to you is to check your heart. Keep Me in first place. Do not allow any other thing or person to take the place of My love, My time, and My affection. I am in need of your consoling now, My beloved brides, each of you. And allow Me to console you, encourage you, and give you hope for the future”

That was the end of Jesus’ message.
