My children, the journey is straight before you. Yes it may seem long and lengthy, but it is still there before you. What makes it longer is the fact that you see the side roads, thinking that they are short cuts but instead they are designed to slow you down and take you off course. It delays reaching the end of the current path that you are walking toward in this season.

There are goals that I have set before you and these goals are designed to get you into position to receive the next steps for your journey. To enter the next season prepared, and to get you completely set up to be all that you can be. When you do not achieve these goals because you are not staying focused and are going on side roads we have to play catch up. When this happens it can seem overwhelming.

Yes it is crunch time in these areas because there is no time to just keep going down side roads or you are going to end up lost on these side roads and unable to get back to the main roads. Catch up to where My clouds and presence awaits you, My little ones. Catch up to the place where I have been guiding you. Fix your eyes upon Me and do not look to the right or to the left.

I have given specific instructions and they should be followed at all times and not just when you feel like it. You want to work on what you want to work on and you cannot do that and expect Me to fulfill what I am telling you I want to do. You must do your part the way I have told you too.

You have taken words that I have given you and dissected them the way you wanted to. You have not come to me to get further instructions on what I am telling you. You are not coming to Me for understanding, you are still going with your own head knowledge. My children you must understand that this way of thinking will keep taking you off course.

The wind will blow you and stir you to take a direction that I never intended you to go because of disobedience, and I cannot stop it. Open your eyes to the reality of the spiritual realm and see that I am here willing to help you but you must be open to receive it. You must be seeking Me to receive it. You should not want to hear it and seek it from others, but Me. Yes I understand the companionship and advice of the natural and that is why I have told you to gather with those who will help you according to Me and not on their own or worldly ways. But your first choice should always be to come to Me. Your first place to look for help is Me. When you look to Me and talk with Me clarity can be found and your feet end up staying on the path that I have placed you on.

The chapters of this part of your journey are about over and a new one is about to begin, are you really ready for what is prepared for you on the next leg of your journey? Have you learned the lessons that were to be learned and have you become fully equipped and set into the place that you are to be in? The only way you can honestly answer this is by seeking My face, getting before Me and having this conversation with Me.

It is time to get caught up. I cannot promise that you will have many more chances to get placed in the spot that I want you to be at in this moment. It is time to quit allowing too many things to get you off course and to stop going down too many side roads. It is time to keep your eyes on Me and pay attention to where I am and where you are to be.

Come and talk with Me, My little ones. Come and get the directions that I have for you and then follow them. You must do all the steps and not just the ones that you choose. I prepare you My little ones for all that you face, but it is up to you to listen and obey. Come and talk with Me and let’s get back on track. Let’s get back on the straight road that you are to walk on and get prepared to step into the new direction that is upon you. I am right here. All you have to do is call upon My name and I will listen and respond.
