When the dark clouds rise and the high winds blow, will you make Me your refuge in the storm?
When the rumors speak of war and the battle lines start to form, will you make Me your high tower in the battle?
When your friends are not to be found and those dear to you are gone, will you accept Me as your comforting solace in sorrow and loss?
Once the storm winds have moved the clouds from the sky and the sun’s warmth is cooled by gentle breezes, will you still recall that I am your Source, as you relax in the newly cleansed air and freshened greenness of the view around you?
Once the clash of weapons and the cries of battle have died, will you still remember that I brought you the victory, as you celebrate the end of the battle?
Once the grieving is past and life continues on, as it does, with new relationships springing fresh and green from the barren wasteland that once was a lush garden, will you still feel the need to hold My hand and seek My face first, as you explore the newness of joy and the gladness of heart that I have brought you?
It is My pleasure, My dear one, to shelter you from the dangers that come your way, and to protect you from the enemies that seek you out. I rejoice to give you the gifts and pleasures of life and see your heart filled with gladness at the beauty that is visible where once there was only darkness.
Remember Me, My precious one, that your joy may be full.

May you not deceive yourself by thinking that you are wise by the standards of this age, for the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight; therefore, become foolish in the sight of this culture by seeking and following God’s wisdom, which brings life and health and peace. 1 Corinthians 3

May you not seek for, or accept, help from the arm of flesh or advice and counsel from the wisdom of man in doing the work of God, but search for the leading of the Spirit, Who knows the mind of God, and follow Him. Ezra 4

May you speak the words of God’s revealed wisdom among those who are maturing into their full growth of love in Christ’s Body, not bothering with the kind of wisdom the spiritual rulers of this age offer, for they are coming to nothing and are doomed to pass away. 1 Corinthians 2

May you receive and accept the workings of the Spirit of God Who knows the heart of man and searches the deep things of God, that you may understand what God has freely given you and express to each one around you those spiritual truths with spiritual words taught by the Spirit from the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2

May you share the simplicity of Christ’s good news with all who hunger for God, avoiding strife which comes from jealousy and quarreling, but walk in peace, accepting all who receive the Lord with gladness. 1 Corinthians 3

My child, will you submit to Me?
You have submitted to other, lesser authorities through your life, for purposes and benefits as varied as those to whom you submitted. I have shown you a glimpse, a vision of what submission to Me will bring you and the path that it will take you. You have responded in agreement when you saw the delight and reward at the culmination, My lovely one, but do not forget what I told you about the path required to get there.
Do not plan to remove your hand from the plow once the furrow is started. Even though the way is hard, the work is honorable, and My provision is available. Know that you are not forsaken or abandoned in the field you are working for you are one of many whose hearts have leapt for joy to hear My call.
When you submit to My will and walk wholehearted in My Spirit, depending completely upon the truth and authority of My Word, one can put to flight a thousand and two will cause ten thousand to flee. With willing vessels that are submitted to Me there is no need for a battalion; I lead you against an enemy that is already defeated and needs only to be routed. My work is often solitary, but it need never be lonely, for I am with you always.
It is not by the power of your arm nor is it by the might of your weapons but it is by My Spirit, moving in My authority which has been given by the Father, that the work is done and the battle is won. When you are living in My Spirit, you must also walk in step with the Spirit, aligned in will and matured by practice.
As you walk through your day on the earth, praying, conversing, sharing continually in your heart with Me in the Spirit, you are learning to walk in agreement with Me in the heavenlies. As you persist and endure, you will find that you are not only walking, but running and leaping with Me, My joyous one, for I long to lead you in the dance.
Submit to Me, My precious one, letting your pride and self-awareness melt away, and enter into My joy.

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

May you be confident and reassured that the word which God has spoken will come to pass. It will occur in His time, to establish His will, for He watches over His word to perform it, even if mountains must be moved and hearts of leaders must be changed. Ezra 1

May you rejoice in the foolishness of God, which is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God, which is stronger than man’s strength, for in God is found life through death, and strength in mercy, and forgiveness for sin. 1 Corinthians 1

May you rejoice in your lack of things of this world, and in your lack of respect from the wise of this world, and in your lack of position among the strong of this world, for in your lowly, foolish, weak condition, because you have nothing of yourself about which to boast, Christ Jesus can become your wisdom from God – your righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1

May your testimony to others not be filled with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that their faith might not rest on men’s wisdom but on God’s power. 1 Corinthians 2

Do not deceive yourself, My child, or be deceived by those who would steal your reward by speaking words in My name that I have not given them.
My love is toward all men, for they are My creative handiwork and My breath has placed life within them. But I desire willing obedience, not forced slavery; that is why I have given free will to each soul and released them. If your heart within you responds to My love which is shed abroad through creation, I receive you as you turn and draw toward Me.
If your heart does not heed My call, loving your self and your own will more than Me, you are of your father the devil and will choose to be influenced by and follow after his will, thinking it is your own.
My sheep know My voice, and another’s they will not follow. As you draw ever nearer to Me, I reveal more of My majesty to you as you grow and mature in My Spirit and Word, letting your pride and self-importance melt away.
You come to understand that you are part of My family; you step up to your obligations to love and serve your brethren in My name and by My Spirit. You mature to where you can see that by serving My people, you are serving Me; by ministering to My lambs, you are ministering to Me.
As you empty yourself and are poured out on the altar of sacrifice for others, you come to know the fellowship of My suffering and attain to the power of My resurrection. Those who suffer in the body according to My will, yielding their members to Me as Lord, are done with sin; it is no longer their master. To whom you yield your body in service, to that power do you become a slave. You have died to your previous life and are no longer subject to your former master.
Just as My sacrificial obedience to the will of the Father opened the door for any who will receive My gift, destroying the power of the enemy who for so long had used fear to bar the way, so let your living sacrifice guide others to Me; I am the Door that leads to the Father. Let your love be without hypocrisy, not giving a false impression, but let the real motivation and intent of your heart be the pure and sincere love of God.
Abhor evil, even as the Father detests evil, for it is based in rebellion to His will and rejects His love and His life. Though the world says evil is good, and good is evil, to live sacrificially in Me is to have the courage of conviction to conform yourself to My word and My mind.
By clinging to Me, not halfheartedly but resolutely, the intents of your will, the thoughts of your mind, the meditations of your heart, the words of your mouth, the deeds of your hands, and the steps of your feet will be guided by My Spirit and form a living sacrifice, acceptable to Me.

May you wait for the Lord to deliver you, choosing not to pay another back for any wrong. Proverbs 20:22

May you stand strong in the Lord’s righteousness and compassion, not being hypocritical or changing to meet others’ expectations, for the Lord detests double standards and dishonest scales do not please Him. Proverbs 20:23

May you willingly give of the abundance God has blessed you with, whether skill in music, or truth from the Word, or understanding in prayer, or encouragement in fellowship, or ability in organization, for all you have has been given to you by God, that others around may know the joy of worship in the fullness of what the Body of Christ can bring to Him. 2 Chronicles 35

May you gladly support your fellow-workers as they go about their duties, and bring to them the enjoyment and refreshing of the fellowship of the Spirit, strengthening the bonds of the love of God, even as the Levites did, during Josiah’s Passover, to all who ministered, from the priests to the gatekeepers. 2 Chronicles 35

May you understand that God will use those who do not confess or proclaim Him in order to establish His will, for when Nebuchadnezzar took the sacred articles from the temple in Jerusalem and carried them to Babylon, God was preserving them in safety until the time when His people would return to rebuild the place of His worship. 2 Chronicles 36

May you always thank God because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus, for in Him you have been enriched in every way – in all your speaking and in all your knowledge – because the testimony of Christ is confirmed in you. 1 Corinthians 1

May you eagerly wait for the Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed for He will keep you strong to the end and make sure you do not lack any spiritual gift, so that you will be blameless on the day of the Lord Jesus Christ. For God, Who has call you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ the Lord, is faithful. 1 Corinthians 1

May you walk in agreement with each other, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 1 Corinthians 1

May you always preach the gospel, but not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1 Corinthians 1

Give heed to My Spirit, My child, for He is your appointed teacher. Any who disregard His promptings, any who dismiss His help, any who disobey His directions, will not prosper but will fall, losing even what they thought they had. To ignore the Spirit of God is to ignore God; to reject the Spirit of Truth is to reject the power and authority of My Word. To refuse the discipline and chastening of the Holy Spirit is to refuse the love of the Father and His comfort in times of distress, as well.
Do not fear the work of the Spirit in your heart and your life, My dear one, for He is the envoy the Father has sent you at My request. There is no greater gift that I could give you than that of the Holy Spirit once the first part of My work on earth was done. He searches all things, even the deep things of God, knowing the mind of God and revealing to you that which will strengthen, correct, encourage, and lead you in the paths you should follow.
The work of the Spirit is to prepare a Bride for Me, My dear one. He searches the hearts of men, going to and fro throughout the world making much of Me, knowing each one whose heart quickens at His description of the Groom. He draws each one whose desire is to know more; He pours out the love from God into those hearts. To each one who echoes it back, stirring to life, responding with love in return, He speaks more about Me, revealing My truth to you, and transforming you into My image.
Open your heart to My Spirit, My yearning one. Know that I give only good gifts from My love for you, and the gift of the Holy Spirit is the way I have chosen to show you how earnest and serious I am about the promises I have made to you. If you hear Him and obey, you will receive from Him that which you are seeking from Me. Walk in the Spirit, My doting one, and you will not walk in the flesh but be victorious as one of My over-comers, and will be transformed in ways you have no words for nor have the concepts even entered into your imagination.
Let Him lead you into praise for He knows Me fully, even as you shall before long. Your yearning heart for Me is only a reflection of My yearning heart for you which He has revealed to you. Follow the leading of My Spirit, and we shall be together in eternity.

May you sing and make music to the Lord at His tabernacle where you will sacrifice with shouts of joy, for the Lord will exalt your head above the enemies who surround you. Psalm 27

John 15:4 Jesus said, “Abide in Me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me.”

John 7:37-38 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

May you watch out for those who would cause divisions and put obstacles in your way which are contrary to the teaching you have learned; keep away from them for such people are not serving our Lord Christ but their own appetites, deceiving the minds of naive people with smooth talk and flattery. Romans 16

May you be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil, for the God of peace will soon crush Satan under you feet. Romans 16

My child, you have been entrusted with much. That is why much is being asked of you.
My mercy is upon you and yours because you fear Me, giving reverential awe and respectful honor to My Name. As you walk in that mercy, should you not also show mercy to others, so that they, too, may learn to reverence Me?
My goodness is great towards you, My dear one. As you take refuge in Me, I bring you to the secret place I have prepared for you, and give you access to the Father, sheltering you from the strife of men’s tongues. Rest here and gain strength from Me before I send you forth again to rescue the perishing and care for the dying. As I have comforted you, even so comfort others with My compassion and My goodness.
My relationship gives you access as a child, a close family member, to the One who impartially judges all people of the earth. I, Whom the Father loves and accepts fully, plead your case before Him and advocate for you that you may be forgiven and receive another chance.
So, also, shall you consider My blood sufficient to repay the injury caused and the debt incurred by those who reject, revile, and abuse your name and character in the world. Do not usurp the role of the One who is the true and righteous Judge, and bring the same decision on yourself.
My Presence abides with you, My close one, and My Spirit dwells within you. As you reverentially honor Me and offer respectful awe toward Me, I fulfill your desires, saving you as you cry out to Me. When I do, you are to testify of My goodness to those who have not learned of My majesty and saving grace. By bearing witness of My hand in your life, My strength in your weakness, My mercy in your failures, you will bring hope to others; when in the faith which comes by hearing they turn to Me, they will be healed from the inside out.
My compassion and tender care is near when you are broken-hearted; I save you from total desolation when you feel crushed in your spirit. I look upon your distress with love and pour out My balm to salve your bruises and bind up your wounds. As you have been ministered to, My lovely one, so minister to the broken-hearted, the hopeless, the outcast, the rejected, bearing My comforting Spirit as you speak My words of love.
Just as you have spoken words of anguish, loss, hurt, and anger to Me in your pain and despondency, do not be surprised if those to whom I send you lash out in their loss. Let them feel your uncritical, non-judging acceptance in the fellowship of your suffering that they may realize they are not alone.
These, and so many more blessings have you been the recipient of from My heavenly throne, My child. They have healed you, strengthened you, and stabilized you in My kingdom, and now they are yours to give, gifts for those I am drawing, the fingerprints of My hand in your clay to show as evidence of My existence to those whose eyes have been blinded to other evidences. Be generous, My sweet one, giving even as you have been given to.

May you give glory forever through Jesus Christ to the only wise God, the One Who is able to establish you by the gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God so that all nations might believe and obey Him.

Psalm 26

May you love the house where the Lord lives and the place where His glory dwells. Psalm 26

May you always keep your heart tender toward the Lord, praising Him in humility for the kindnesses and mercies you receive. Do not grow proud, lest you experience God’s judgment of grace. 2 Chronicles 32

My child, forget not to praise Me. In all of your circumstances, give thanks to Me. As you offer praise, the heavens shift and the balances swing. The Father is agreeable with those whose hearts are in agreement with His in love toward the Son.
Do not seek to find reason to praise in your circumstances, for though it is there, you are often too close to see it at first. Rather, remember My sacrifice, and how it has freed you from your life-long dread of punishment and fear of death. Recall the burden of guilt and shame that was released from your life when you accepted My redeeming sacrifice and were cleansed of your inherited sin-debt by My blood which paid in full that which was demanded for your soul. Re-live the joy that rose up in your heart at the light which entered your life when My Spirit touched your soul. Think on how He has continued to show you the way to walk and given you the strength from My Word to make the right choices.
As you continue to meditate on the realities of My work in your life for which there is no argument, and no substitute, worship will spring from your heart and flow from your lips. It is in this moment that the enemy is defeated and the snare which he has set for you through circumstances is broken. The forces he had arrayed against you lose their cohesiveness and turn against each other as you offer thanks to the Father. Be strong, and of good courage; fear not, for I am with you.

May your first desire and primary focus be to discern, and to do, the will of God, step by step, day by day, as He reveals it to you in your walk with the Lord. Romans 15

Even as you have freely received from others the spiritual ministry through which God has blessed you, refreshed and encouraged you, strengthened, guided and stabilized you, settled and renewed you, and equipped you with all spiritual gifts, may you willingly and cheerfully return to them what God has given to you. This will be to them proof of His abundance, and evidence of His love, working in your life to meet their needs. Romans 15

May your prayer always include those doing God’s work of laboring in the harvest. Through the love of the Spirit, may you join in the spiritual struggle, as you recognize the resistance from unbelievers, and become aware of the antagonism from the powers of spiritual wickedness. This is your acceptable service to the saints, that through the power of the Spirit their hearts will be refreshed with joy and peace, and they would be rescued from harm by His grace. Romans 15

May you always turn to the Word of God for wisdom and seek the Spirit of God for good sense, whether you plan a business venture or a war campaign. May you be stably grounded and securely advised in all you do, to the glory of God and the growth of His kingdom. Proverbs 20:18

Seek My will, My child. Seek it in the Word, and seek it in the Spirit.
Read and study, My precious one. Be in My Word and know My Word, for it will be both your defensive shield and your offensive weapon against the attacks of the enemy. He will come against you, and against those you love, and you must be prepared to defeat him by the only means possible—the truth and the authority of My Word. In My Word you learn of your sin nature which has come down from your father Adam, and in My Word you learn of the sacrifice of blood I made as the new man Adam. Walk in the victory which this knowledge can bring you.
Pray and wait, My love. Seek My Spirit and walk in My Spirit, for the Comforter brings you life and hope, engrafting the Word you study into your heart, giving you the wisdom to balance the knowledge and the understanding that you need in order to know and to do My Will. For through the ministry of the Spirit, you are filled with the joy that surmounts the ills of the world and will of the adversary; through the anointing of the Spirit, you receive the meekness to obey the will of the Father in place of the pride to seek out and do the will of the flesh.
Time is short, My dear one, and much remains to be done. Know My written and revealed will, and follow it, for therein you will find the peace that passes understanding. Seek My heart, and receive it, for therein you will find the shelter and refuge you will need as the anger of the adversary upon the earth increases. Be strong, and of good courage; fear not, for I am with you.

It is from My Word that you learn of Me, My child, but it is in My Spirit that you experience Me. My Word is the true measuring line against which your experiences are checked; My Spirit is what brings life and gives understanding to what you have learned.
Though you read about the battles fought in war, you are not prepared to participate until you have been trained. You must practice putting on the armor I provide you, My warrior-in-training. Every day you must practice it until it is normal to do, until you feel you are missing something if one part is left out. You must adjust your schedule to include what is needed. This is the discipline that I walk you through, this is the giving I call you to, this is the heart I create in you.
As you read My Word daily, My dear one, you are putting on the belt of truth, learning to accurately handle My word.
As you maintain your daily right standing with Me through confession and repentance, obedience and service, you are able to strap on the front-piece of My righteousness.

When you pray My word back to Me in faith, quoting, and depending on, My promises, you are learning to use My shield of faith against the fiery darts of the enemy.

Knowing that My Word is near you, even in your mouth, to speak My truth against the lies of the world, the flesh, and the devil, will allow Me to train you in the discipline of using the sword of the spirit. Your fight is not against people who rub you the wrong way, but against spiritual wickedness and darkness in high places so that the strongholds and fortresses which have held sway for so long may be pulled down, the captives set free, and My light dispel the darkness.
Learn by doing, My precious one, for My Spirit is with you to guide you into all truth, and My Word is in your heart to keep you on the path. Be strong, and of good courage; fear not, for I am with you.

May you earnestly seek for, and deeply desire, the wisdom from God to walk humbly in the allowed paths and, with the understanding that comes from the Word and through the Spirit, avoid forbidden options, for just as Uzziah sought the honor of offering incense at the altar, and even Adam partook of the restricted choice in Eden, the results of prideful over-reaching are long-term and life-changing. 2 Chronicles 26

My child, be found in Me. Submit to Me as a sheep to its shepherd, following, trusting, confident of care and peace. Obey Me as a sworn soldier does his captain, loyally, unquestioningly, unswervingly. Stand for Me as does a grown, mature son who is fully engaged in his father’s work, dedicated, single-minded, focused. Be united with Me as the parts of your body are connected together, functional, cohesive, cooperative.
Set aside every distraction, My dear one, whatever threatens to become more important to you than following Me. I am your Mediator, your Guide, the One Who has gone before you, blazing the trail, marking the path. I know what you will face, and have made preparations for you. But you must be focused on where we are going, you must stay close enough to hear, and you must be attentive to My words. You have to be able to recognize My voice from the many others speaking, and you need to have a willing heart to obey Me faithfully, without debate.
Find your identity in Me, My precious one, for in Me are all things that you have need of. In Me, you have acceptance with the Father into the family of God. In My name, you receive your requests of the Father. You cannot stand in your own natural identity; you must know Me, and be known by Me, to know eternal life. Your motivation, your purpose, your life must be hid in Me. Your will must be subsumed in Mine, known, cherished, treasured, but subordinate.
The things you do on your own, for your own satisfaction and reputation, even though they are what I have said to do, if they are not done in obedience to Me and for My glory, are rewarded on earth, and have no eternal reward, and you will have no part with Me.
As you abide in Me, My love, you draw on everything you need for life, abundantly. I give you the strength to walk as an overcomer, the vision to see in others that which I value, the grace to accept each person as one of My own precious ones, the mercy to show My love to those who revile you.
You can not take a deep enough breath to last for a whole day; you cannot eat enough today to last for six months. You must also abide in Me, moment by moment, so that you may draw on My provision, hear My voice, be led by My Spirit, walk in My anointing, and pray in My name as I bring divine appointments your way.

May you give to everyone what you owe him, whether taxes, or revenue, or respect, or honor, letting no debt remain outstanding except the continuing debt to love one another, for love is the fulfillment of the law. Romans 13

May you understand the present time for the hour has come to wake up from slumber because our salvation is nearer now than when you first believed, so put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light, clothing yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, not thinking of how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

My dear one, learn of My acceptance and receive of My grace in your life. Be free from the burden of self-imposed guilt over what you could not prevent, and find relief in My Spirit from the condemnation of others over what you could not avoid. I have willingly been made a curse for your sake to exempt you from the wrath to come, but all blessings remain ever within your reach.
I have freed your soul from the curse of death stemming from Adam’s sin, and your spirit lives now in the power of My resurrection. You are now freed from the weight of your sin nature, having died to it through My death on the cross as you accepted My free gift of salvation.
As you walk daily in prayer through the Spirit and in study of My Word, your mind is renewed as you learn new principles of thinking and seeing through My example in the Word. You grow in maturity in your spiritual walk, seeing the old habits wither and fall away, when you open the doors in your life and truly make Me Lord over more and more areas in your heart and your mind. You find it easier to feel the nudge of the Spirit and to recognize My still small voice speaking encouragement and hope and confidence into your life.
As you begin to abide in Me as I abide in My Father, you will know the heart of God in the joy of fellowship of the work of the harvest, in the anger toward the adversary who blinds My people with his lies and slander, and in the sorrow and heartache of rejection by those who turn their backs on the drawing of My Spirit.
You have the responsibilities of today and all of its issues to walk out – decisions to make, choices to choose, actions to take. You have circumstances to handle and events to deal with. You are the builder in charge of the construction on your site, but I am the Architect. I have made the plans and provided the materials, gladly dispensing the wisdom and guidance you need for each concern that comes your way.
I have emptied the past of pain and have filled the future with abundance for you if you come to Me humbly, seeking not your own will and desires but to point others to Me, making much of Me. By being vulnerable and transparent, open about your failures, weaknesses, and shortcomings, you give glory to Me as your Source and Provision, letting others know what I have done for you, that they may have faith in what I can do for them.
Show them the mercy you have received from Me, and accept them as they are as you minister to their needs as My servant, led by My Spirit, expressing My love.

I will lead you in the paths of righteousness, for My name’s sake, which bring you into everlasting life, whether the journey be short or long. I know the way you need to go.
Determine in your heart to follow Me, today, for you will face challenges and obstacles enough that must be overcome, leaving no time or energy to be concerned over what tomorrow may bring. I hold all of your tomorrows, so hold fast to Me.
Do not fear what may come, for I am your shelter and refuge; trust in Me, for I am your life and your strength.

Though it takes many people to raise a child in the natural, I have been to you all that you have needed during this time: provider, guide, teacher, coach, encourager, advisor, watching over you and allowing no enemy to come near you during this time of shedding the old and gaining the new.
As you have dropped the burdens of the old ways, willingly for some and reluctantly for others, I have given you the tools you will need as you cross into your promised land, and taught you by small increments to be effective with them. Give diligence to what I have shown you and practice faithfully what you have learned that you may be fully-equipped and mature when you enter into battle with the giants to whom I bring you, for by your obedience, they will fall in defeat.
Seek Me for the courage to go boldly forward in the work I give, dwelling in and searching out both knowledge and understanding of My Word.
Practice temperance in body and soul, word and deed, not fearing to express any extreme in My service, at My leading, but remaining content to dwell in moderation.
Let patience develop within you, buttressed by faith in Me and resting on confidence in My Word, that you may endure affliction steadfastly without complaint to others or depression and doubt within.
Desire godliness as you once would have sought great gain, for unlike wealth it holds promise for both the present life and the life to come, if you do not deny the power that is inherent with it – the privilege of dwelling in My presence and in fellowship with the Father.
Walk in brotherly love toward all of God’s people, and express unto all men the compassionate mercy of God for each soul, for by these tokens will the world know that you are Mine, chosen and precious, beloved of the Father, having made sure your calling and election.
You do not travel this pathway alone, My precious one, for I have walked it before you, and the Comforter abides with you. All that you have need of is available upon request. Be strong, and of good courage, for you are well able to take the land.

May you give adoration to the Lord for His grace in accepting you into the family of God, redeeming you from the destruction that was your just reward, and give diligence to make your calling and election sure, walking in all He gives you and celebrating the diversity of the gifts He places in the Body of Christ. Romans 9

May you seek, in true desire of heart and humble sincerity of mind, the justification of God and the righteousness of the Lord, not by understanding and learning or by custom and tradition, but through faith in Christ Jesus, the Son of God, embracing the truth of the Word of God in trust and accepting the gift of the Spirit of God in belief that He will give only good things to all who come in the name of Jesus.

Let My Spirit bring My Word back to your memory and equip you with the revelation of how to apply My active, living, breathing Word when you need strength, guidance, wisdom, discernment, authority, healing, deliverance, encouragement for yourself and for others, for you need the living Word, the dynamic Word, through relationship with Me.
The adversary knows the written Word, and quotes it, twisting it to his purposes, and in his hands, it steals joy, destroys hope, and deals death because he has rejected Me, the true Word of God.
As you study My Word, you learn My thoughts; as you meditate on My Word, you know My heart; as you pray My Word, you learn My strength and authority. Abide in Me, My dear one, so that you may accurately discern and pray the living Word.
