May you enjoy the rich blessings of God in your life as He gives you strength from His Word to walk in the authority of His Spirit, turning aside the vileness which the enemy pours out into the world, bringing God’s light into the corners that have only known darkness, and sharing the fullness of His life with those who have only known the poison of the serpent, that they may enjoy the streams flowing with honey and rivers flowing with cream.

Walk by faith, My child, not by flesh. Changeableness is the nature of flesh, but My Spirit is steadfast and unchanging, though endlessly creative and never fully encompassed.
The joy from abiding in My Spirit daily, the faith from feasting on My Word daily, the blessing of sharing My love daily levels and straightens the path you tread, providing peace of heart and calm of spirit; whereas the way of the carnal mind is rocky and uneven with deceitful highs and despondent lows, always resisting the will of God.
Draw near to Me, My love, and abide in Me, rejoicing in the covenant I have established with you forever through My blood. It is ageless and certain, bringing you My consolation and sure mercies; it is My immutable inheritance that I give you, which no power or authority can violate or negate.
By My covenant I make void the law’s covenant of works by establishing grace as the basis and condition, the foundation and capstone, the source and justification of My holiness and sanctification that I clothe you with, without which you cannot please or even see the Father.
Turn from the deeds of the flesh daily, My precious one, with prayers and petitions and, at times, with tears and strong cryings, having been crucified and buried with Me, that I may live in you through faith in Me, for I love you enough to have given Myself for you.
May you turn to and trust in the Lord your deliverer when troubles without number surround you and your sins, numbering more than the hairs of your head, overtake you, causing your heart to fail within you, for the Lord will not withhold His mercy, and His love and truth will always protect you.
