My children, today I have a question for you to think about. Who’s advice are you yielding to and following? Many of you My children, ask Me for directions, instructions, and what My will is for your life, but you ignore or do not follow through with what I say. I send others to you to help you through things and to share wisdom and knowledge that I have given them, but you do not listen or heed what is being said. You have made up your mind that you are only going to follow your way and that is not what you are to do. This is a time where I am giving different people pieces to the large picture so that not one person will hold all the answers.

The times ahead you are going to have to learn to work together and learn that everyone has their part to do in My body. You must learn that it is not about looking for attention or seeing who can be the one on top. It is about learning to work side by side and to learn to respect each other and to listen to one another as I direct each of you in what I want you to do. You are going to have to be listening for My voice and obey what I tell you. You are going to have to ask Me for confirmation and know when it is Me working through someone and when it is false and the enemy trying to get you to go a different direction.

It is time to be determined to go the whole way with My plan even when it makes absolutely no sense. It is time to let Me be in the driver seat in your life and to show you which path to take. It is time to know who I have placed in your life to help you and for you to help. It is time to be the team player that you need to be in My kingdom. I have been preparing you for unity. I have been molding you for unity. I have been teaching you about unity. This is because you must be unified together in Me to be able to survive the upcoming events in your lives.
It is all about obedience and trusting Me. It is all about really listening to My voice and walking in the faith that I have called you to walk in. It is all about putting away your own thinking and own desires and learning to be the new creation that I want you to be. It is about having the respect and fear of Me and knowing that I only do things in your life that is for your own good. Some things are to make you stronger, some is to allow you more patience, some is to teach you to fight, some is to make you humble, and some is to show you how to really love. All these things is what you need in your walk in Me to get to the things and receive the things that I have for you.

So I ask you again, who’s advice are you listening to and following? Are you really ready to hear what I have to say and follow it or are you hoping that I am just going to tell you what you want to hear and want to do?
I place people in your lives to help with directing you and guiding you. I have given you parents to help you learn to live on this earth and to teach you of My ways. I have given you pastors and teachers to further you in your learning about being a servant and following Me. I have given you brothers and sisters in Me to be able to lean on one another and to learn from one another. But you still desire to continue to do things your way and in your time. Then you wonder why you are not getting the results that you are wanting to get.

It is time to begin to really listen to My advice that I have given you in My word, through My voice, and through those that you know are from Me. It is time to fully put away your selfishness and your worldly way of thinking and accept the authority and work together in unity as I have called you to do. As you do this you will begin to see the results that I have been telling you that is in My will and in My plans for your life. Get completely in tune to My voice and obey what I have to say to you.

20 My son, keep your father’s command
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

when you sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak to you.
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NIV)
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 12:20-25 (NIV)
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
