APRIL’S ASSIGNMENT IS ALIGNMENT

The Father has been speaking to me about alignment, order, and prioritizing according to His will and Heaven’s blueprints. As I was in prayer, He said “April’s assignment is alignment.” I saw a camera lens extend out and focus intently on the word ‘Alignment’. Alignment, by definition, is “The proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other.” (Merriman-Webster) The Father is inviting us to adjust where it is necessary, and to position our hearts, minds, and lives in proper order. Another definition of alignment is “A position of agreement or alliance.” His will and plans for us are abundant, hope-filled, joy-filled, peace-filled, and favor-filled. The Father is inviting us to align in agreement with Him and to build an alliance that cannot be moved or rocked. Alignment always takes making adjustments in order to find the exact fit and flow. April’s assignment for alignment is a set up for BREAKTHROUGH! It’s a time to shed weight and take off running!

I saw a person putting together furniture and they were precisely aligning a drill and screw head so that it would perfectly align for the best function of the furniture. For those who have put together furniture, you know how important it is to align the hardware in order for the furniture to function properly. Being slightly off can cause a table to wobble or become unstable, or a dresser drawer to rub, and not open or close smoothly. Taking your time to be precise in the process of alignment is key, and patience in the process saves frustration down the line.

Yesterday, I released a prophetic word called “Placing the Plumbline”, which symbolically spoke of the importance of intimacy, which brings alignment and order into our lives. The plumbline sets the standard and acts as a tool for measuring alignment. As we are consistent in placing the plumbline, dead weight, chaos, false obligations, fleshly desires, and more, are released, continuing the alignment of our lives on Earth as it is in Heaven, along with establishing order.

This invitation into alignment in April may look like a stop, however it is a pause for readjustment and proper alignment. It’s a pause to reevaluate, recreate, rearrange, and reorder according to His voice. I saw frustration turn to peace, and striving turn to thriving. I also saw many things dropping off of people’s ‘plates’ and schedules because they were no longer their assignment or never were in alignment with God’s plan. I heard the Father say “Don’t assume on any account”, instructing us to bring everything before Him, even the things that we believe are the ‘Have to’s’. Some aspects may not fully dissolve, however some things will look different in order to find peace, joy, favor, and flow. I heard someone say “That’s scandalous”, meaning they felt it was neglectful or irresponsible to let go of certain commitments and responsibilities. I felt great joy in that statement because I saw many people getting set free from performance, obligation, and religious mindsets. He isn’t pleased more if you do more! He means it when He says in His word, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” (Matthew 11:30) The word says, “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you REST”, not more work or a list of ‘To do’s’! (Matthew 11:28) The Father is calling his sons and daughters to know Him intimately as a good father, trust Him deeply, and fully rely on Him as provider. He wants to show up and show off for you. He wants you to experience BREAKTHROUGH!

I heard ‘Family First’ and I saw alignment coming to families. There is a reordering coming to homes and there are decisions and choices to make to fall in alignment with God’s design for families. I saw workaholic and overworked parents readjusting schedules, saying ‘no’ in places they had fear of loss, and some began looking for new positions that would allow for the life they have desired. Many parents are worn out and weary, grinding away for pay, while marriages disconnect and children suffer. I saw ministry-platform obsessed ministers laying down titles and bringing realignment to their homes. I saw their ‘bloodied hands’ being cleansed and healed. Symbolically, this represented laying down striving, self-promotion, and walking through a purification process. I saw repentance, humility, and healing coming to families. I saw prodigals coming home, and I watched “The hearts of father’s turning to their children, and the hearts of children turning to their fathers.” (Malachi 4:6) I saw marriages in struggle and survival lay down their boxing gloves, and hit their knees in surrender. I saw people making ‘bids’ toward one another and choosing to do the hard work required.

I heard, “This is the homestretch.” The homestretch, by definition, is “The part of the racecourse between the last turn and the winning post.” (Merriam-Webster) For many, you are feeling like you not at your last turn, but on your last leg. The Father wants to take you out of survival and place you in a ‘WIN’ season. In between the last turn and the win, is an invitation for alignment! Alignment is the key in this next season to win and finish well. It is time to lay down old patterns and behaviors that are not serving you or your family well. It is time to bring order to chaos and dysfunction. It is time to pause, listen, and obey. It is time to reevaluate and reorder according to Heaven’s blueprint. It is time to evaluate what is life giving and fruitful, versus what is draining and desolate. It is time to enter His rest and to receive His goodness!

Once again, do not worry about this invitation being a stop or a loss of time/opportunity, it is a pause to enter His flow, His favor, and His Rest. It is a set up for BREAKTHROUGH! Take the time, be patient with the process, and get ready for expansion into the abundant blueprints He has specifically designed for you and your families. God loves you and there is more. I saw Him removing the muck of discouragement and disappointment, and pumping new blood flow and life into hearts. Take time to listen to His Heart and lay on His chest for the rest you need. You will not miss out, you have not missed it, you are stepping into Heaven’s assignment through the process of alignment.

Grace and Peace in April. Go slow, lay low, shed weight, and take off running, as the Father leads.

Love & Courage,
