One Day In My Presence Is Better Than 1000 Days Elsewhere.

December 12, 2024

Hello, Brothers, Sisters, and Heartdwellers family. The Lord was indeed true to His word when he told us to strap on the shoes of peace against assignments of division. We were going through our own trial here in the mountain community and some arrows came my way and really wounded my heart by the coldness and distance a certain soul began to show towards me.

Then the trial with now leaving the mountain again brought many old wounds from the past with my family and what happened the first time I was called here. I was really fighting a battle in my heart as the enemy was replaying all the pain of my past—all I had gone through, being wounded in love, even this past year. It was rough and I just felt like giving up—guarding my heart, keeping my distance from people—and even family, staying to myself. But I knew that wasn’t the way to go. So, after the Lord's Supper, I came before the Lord. Jesus, what’s on your heart?

Jesus began,

“Be steady, My beloved, and get to work with the small time that you have here. I know your pain, I see the wounds you have incurred, and I know the burden you carry. Give it to Me, let me carry it for you. Why do you think these arrows have come now?”

To slow me down, Lord?

“Exactly, and to harden you off in love. Don’t allow it, Beloved. Don’t allow them to hash up scenarios and pain from the past to cause you to be embittered and guarded. That is not My way of love. Rather, see [them] as opportunities to uproot the lies, stand in My truth, and to forgive. I know all of this is a process and I am here to help you. I am so proud of the bride and woman you have become and are becoming, Beloved. Yes, you will continuously be wounded in love until it no longer sets you back, stops you, or slows you down. But you recognize the source behind the souls who wound you and rather pray for them and continue to love. When anger, resentment, and offense are met with love it melts away every time and it also brings conviction.

“Do not worry, a time will come when you hear sincere apologies. But until then, and if sometimes it doesn’t come, give it to Me, leave it with Me, allow me to heal— restore you with My love so you can continue to walk in love.

“My beloved brides, the enemy has many plans and traps set up for all to wound you with arrows from loved ones, friends, and family. Those are the wounds that hurt the most, and unfortunately, paralyze so many to the point they become bitter, closed off, and distant to those who have hurt them when I have called you to be an instrument of My love instead. The enemy sends arrows to wound you to the point of no return and many of you have family members or friends you know—who are believers—but are so hard, cold, and bitter because of how they have been treated in the past. My beloved brides that is why trysting time with Me is so important. Do not skip that or be distracted by the duties of this life. What is the point if I have a bride who gives off no fragrance, who walks not in love, who is selfish, guarded, and touchy—what impact do you make on the world around you? None. There are too many Christians who live that way. It doesn’t please Me at all. You have lost your salt, My beloved ones, you have lost your light, which is the light of My love to dispel the darkness around you.

“It also causes stagnancy. You become so focused on protecting yourself and sometimes so focused on your pain—in a pit of self-pity—that you cannot do anything. You cannot move forward or do much for Me. So, [you] become the servant who buried their talent in the ground. That is not what I have in store or want for My beloved brides or want for My beloved ones. I want you focused and busy about My business. You are in a battle. When wounded come to Me for healing, suturing, nursing, and nurturing. Truly as David said, one day in My presence is better than a thousand days elsewhere. I can do for you in one day of trysting, and dwelling time with me more than you can do in a month of seeing a counsellor or therapist. I alone know your soul through and through. So much happens in My presence, My beloved ones. So much happens to your soul and in your heart where I reside, and where all the issues of life flow from. So come to me to be healed, strengthened, encouraged, and restored to face the battles ahead. You would be undeterred by wounds incurred in this journey. But rather it will be used to transform you into my likeness and to tell a story to all displaying My love.

Come.”

That was the end of Jesus' message
