Job 2

May the bitterness of hard thoughts and shaken confidence, the inward suffering which is more difficult than the sharpest physical affliction, not overcome or overwhelm the sweet sense of the love and presence of God in your heart and mind. Job 3

My child, hear My voice. Turn your heart and incline the ear of your spirit to Me so that you may catch the word of life which I have for you.
There are many voices speaking to you on many levels, My dear one, but they speak many things and are not in agreement with each other. Just as at My trial before the high priest, there were many willing to speak against Me, but they could not come in agreement with each other, with each one speaking their own lie and delusion.
I speak to you, My love, in many ways, and they each bear witness to the other. Some are easier to discern than others, and some require spiritual growth and maturity to learn to recognize and focus on. But My Word will always agree with My Spirit, and bring glory to My name.
Do not judge the message by the messenger, My precious one, for I will also send you at times to bear My message, and you will be evaluated as you have evaluated others.
Do not despise the message another conveys if it differs from yours in style or presentation, My caring one. Remember, they are bringing that message because you are not.
I have many sheep in many places with many needs. Some are young, some are infirm, some have special needs, but all are treasured. I have given you the message needed by the ones I send you to, but I also have servants who are willing to take a different message needed by others who will never hear the words I have given you. Encourage one another as fellow-laborers in My work, pray for one another, and walk in love toward each other

May you know that there is a time for coming before the King with pleading, falling before His feet, with begging & weeping, not because you need to change His mind, but because He has put His heart in you, and you are expressing the strong desires and feeling the deep sorrow He has for those who need His help. Esther 8

May you always remember that as you walk like Mordecai, humbling yourself as you do your work until the King honors you, that you will be able to speak with authority in the name of the Lord, as you are led by the Spirit of God, according to the Word of God; not like Haman who exalted himself, promoting his own plans, living in his own vain imaginings, for his estate was given to Esther and ruled over by Mordecai, the man he hated most. Esther 8

May you receive with joy the understanding that you are freed and strengthened by the edict of the King from the fear of those spiritual powers who hate you, and you have been given the right to band together to protect each other from every principality that would attack your family, for you have been given the authority to plunder the property of your enemies, taking back what the powers of wickedness have stolen from you, that you may enjoy a time of happiness, gladness, and honor, and many will seek to join you as they see the favor of the King upon you. Esther 8

May you seek for the good of God’s people and speak peace to your brethren, for whoever would be great in God’s kingdom needs to be the servant of all. Esther 10

My child, all of the Father’s promises toward you are fulfilled through Me, the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, and confirmed by the ‘Yea’ of your testimony to the glory of the Father and for the maturing of My Body in loving unity.
In Me is the assurance that you will not lack any good thing, for all good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the Light of the world.
In Me is the comfort that though you experience temporary afflictions which flesh is subject to, My touch causes them to work for the unending good of your soul and the everlasting strengthening of your spirit, developing the unchanging image of My character in you and laying up eternal treasures in your service of My perpetual kingdom.
In Me is the confidence that you are accepted by the Father Who delights to be your God, giving you His everlasting love, His gracious presence, and His divine protection.
In Me is the promise of full pardon and complete justification, adoption as a son of God, everlasting salvation and total redemption through your belief and active faith in Me and the One Who sent Me.
In Me is the gift of the Holy Spirit of God, Who indwells you, abiding with you to provide illumination in this world of darkness, revelation of the truth of My Word, faith, comfort, strength, and assistance, as well as access to My provision of grace and mercy to quench the condemning thoughts from spiritual principalities toward yourself and about others.
In Me are found all these exceeding great and precious promises, ancient and unshakable, free and unconditional, immutable and irrevocable, appropriately suited to every situation and circumstance that you may ever find yourself in. They are established in the new covenant which I made with you, and sealed with My own blood, making them safe and secure from change or short-coming, and certain since I cannot lie nor will I repent of My word to you.
In Me is the authority and power, the defensive and offensive weaponry of the spirit, to speak to those spiritual principalities and powers of darkness in the heavenlies and say, “No, you will not cross the established boundary!” for the blood of My covenant has drawn the line separating light from darkness. I have assigned the hosts of heaven to empower and enforce your word and your will when you say, “No,” and stand, resisting the inimical spiritual authorities and casting down every imagination and high presumption that exalts itself against the truth of the Word of God.
Through My love, I have made you more than a conqueror – you are made an overcomer; you are one who not only patiently bears afflictions and persecutions, but glories in them, growing in joy and faith, as you walk with Me in the fellowship of My sufferings.
In Me, My lovely and precious one, is the hope which springs eternal in the knowledge of Who I am, and Whose you are.

May you ever walk in the motivation of God’s love, for it never fails, always protects, continually trusts, ever hopes, persistently perseveres, never ceasing as prophecies must, never stilled as tongues will be, never set aside as knowledge shall be, but ever guiding us into the perfection of God’s purpose and will. 1 Corinthians 13

May you put childish ways behind you as you mature in God’s love, speaking, thinking, feeling with ever-increasing clarity and maturity as you come to know God, even as He knows you. 1 Corinthians 13

What person among men can stand before Me on an equal basis, My child? All flesh is dust and, as the flower of the field, withers in the heat of the day. Fear no man, My dear one, nor be anxious about their opinion, but love them from My heart, and minister to them as I do, for the sun and the rain fall equally on the just and unjust alike. All are created in My image and are worthy of respect, courtesy, and acknowledgment as My creation, and as a soul for whom I died, even as for you.
What power in the world, that men recognize as greater than themselves, will not obey when I speak to it? The winds blow, tornadoes whirl, hurricanes turn, yet when I say “halt,” they do not go beyond My boundaries; when fire ravages the countryside, those that I choose to protect, for My purpose and My praise, are not touched. Do not fear the powers of creation, My love, for I hold them in My hand, and they obey My word as servants, acknowledging My will as theirs, even as you do.
What authorities in the heavens, that men align themselves with in rejection of Me, have not been conquered and defeated by Me? Though they skulk and scurry through My creation seeking to resist My purpose and entice My own to turn from Me, they are only gathering the tares to be bundled and burned. My love continues to be shed abroad and all who are My Father’s respond to My love.
It is to them that I send you, My dedicated one, to places you have not seen, and in ways you had not imagined. You are My hands to lift up the branches of the vine fallen in the mud, unable to bear fruit. I send you to lift them up, not cut them off; to walk with them as I clean them, encourage them to reach for Me into the light, and rejoice as the life of the True Vine causes them to flower and they bear much fruit to My glory.

Rejoice in My mercy, My child, and exult in My grace in your life. Be thankful for My compassions toward you and express your praise to Me for My acceptance of you. The truth of your sin and weakness has been met by, and reconciled in, My loving gift of salvation which brings you into My righteousness and delivers you from the power of the enemy. Let worship spring up from your heart as a result of My faithful love which never fails and My steadfast kindness which never ceases.
Before Abraham was, I am. Because I am the eternal God, My tender mercy is without end, as well. For every mercy you see in your life, if you look closer, you will see a dozen more that accompany it. These are undeserved on your part, but they are My pleasure and joy to give. I do not recall your sins, once forgiven, My child, or hold them over your head; you are accepted in Me before the Father, and given the privileges of family.
Never forget, though, to give the reverence due to the One Who created you, died for you, and undeservedly saved you. Let not these magnificent gifts and this unparalleled love be disdained or become common in your sight, but give honor to the One Who bore the pain and paid the price which you could not, then sought you when you resisted Him, and accepted you when you stood in enmity against Him.
Let My acceptance bear fruit in your life, My precious one, and walk confidently in the knowledge of My care and provision. Learn ever more of Me from My Word and walk ever deeper in the wisdom and understanding from My Spirit. Know My voice and be led by My heart; speak life and encouragement to others as I use you in My work.
As you ask of the Father in My Name, humbly secure in My righteousness and meekly obedient in My authority, I will watch over My word to perform it in your life. Thus will you be My witness to the world, bearing the light of My glory as the shadows gather and lengthen during this time of great harvest.
