Word from January 11, 2023 | Originally released by Truth-Justice-Mercy on February 3, 2023
Good morning!
This is the second of three concurrent messages the Lord spoke to me on January 11th while driving through the countryside. It describes what, for me personally, has been a very challenging, wonderful, and confusing season over the past six years – that is now starting to make sense.
But as the Lord spoke this word, I knew it was also for many in the Body for whom the normal ways of doing ministry have been disrupted by God Himself. For those who have felt so out of place and have felt compelled to step down and bow out of what you’ve always done and what everyone else has expected you to do; for those who have questioned what in the world is wrong with you as you’ve found yourselves saying ‘no’ to seemingly wonderful opportunities and necessary tasks; for those whom the Lord has asked to be still and learn from Him at the expense of all else.
If you have been faithful to His voice, He will bring this all into focus as this new season unfolds. New assignments are being given out that you would have otherwise been unprepared for. Get ready to report to your posts!

PART II: MY MARYS
Wednesday January 11, 2023 – Between 4 and 5 pm
“I speak to those who have prioritized carving out the time to hear from Me. You have chosen the better part: My Marys, who have chosen to leave very good tasks in order to sit at My feet; My Marys, who have wondered why they heard the word, ‘no’ coming from their lips for so very many noble requests!
You have been misunderstood and even called lazy… slackers! ‘Why don’t you get a real job?’ they call out. ‘Why do you let us do all of the work while you sit around and do nothing?’ You even ask yourself this, at times. And, yet you know that I have called you to it, in this season: to press in, to hear My voice, to be quiet, to learn from Me, to catch new vision… in order to cast new vision.
You are listening closely to My words, and you are studying intently My ways and My enunciations for this hour. And, you are now being given your marching orders. So, you are now ready to arise and step into your new roles which were prepared for you while you put in the hard work on your knees.
These are things My Marthas did not understand, nor are they prepared for. Yes, I have gifted My Body in different ways for different purposes – and EACH ONE is necessary for completing My purpose upon this earth. Let the Body be fitly joined together.”
38“Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. 40But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.’
41And Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.’”
-Luke 10:38-42, NKJV
11“And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ…
16From Whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
-Ephesians 4:11-12,16, KJV
