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.

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.

May you put your trust in God and walk devotedly in His ways, for who can harm those whom God protects, and what can shelter those whom God will destroy, just as Jehoshaphat was safe in his robes, yet Ahab was killed in his armor. 2 Chronicles 18

I have walked with you through the time of wilderness wandering, My child, and kept My hand upon you, drawing you from your former life and its appetites and cravings.
Carrying you to an isolated wilderness, My dear one, I have cared for you and provided for you all that you have needed. 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.

May you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God, as you choose to obey His leading to remove the foreign altars and cleanse the high places that are not God’s from your heart, smashing those things in your life that seek to share the affections and desires which rightfully belong to God. 2 Chronicles 14

May you seek the Lord your God and bring into alignment, obedience, and captivity, all high thoughts and exalting knowledge which distract and detract from the reverent fear and worshipful praise that is due to God Who is your source and provider, the One Who prospers you and gives you peace on every side. 2 Chronicles 14

May you rely on God, Whose Name is your shield and defense, when you are overwhelmed by the vast opposition which comes against you, for there is no one like Him to help the powerless against the mighty. 2 Chronicles 14

May you turn to the Lord in your distress and search Him out with your whole heart, for He will be found when you do, since even though there is great turmoil around you, the Lord is with you when you are with Him, therefore you can be strong and not give up, for your work will be rewarded. 2 Chronicles 15

May you be strengthened by God’s words of encouragement, and be brave enough to remove from positions of influence in your life the detestable idols which are popular with other people, moving against public opinion and wide-spread agreement, and repair instead the holy place of the Lord in your heart. 2 Chronicles 15

Live in My Word, My child, each day, each moment. Store My Word in your heart, that you may be kept from sin, and meditate on it in your thoughts, for it is the power of God unto salvation to all who believe. My Word will be a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your path, giving you direction and showing you the way to walk in.
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.

May you not rest in or rely on natural connections with earthly sources, but strive for the spiritual connection with your heavenly Source, your Creator, Redeemer, and Father God. Romans 9

May you always be aware of the choice in front of you, as you can follow Isaac’s path or Ishmael’s, and seek Jacob’s desire or Esau’s, for God will have mercy on whom He choses, since He is the potter. Romans 9

May the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be pleasing in the sight of the Lord, your Rock and Redeemer. Psalm 19

May you be blameless and innocent of great transgression as God forgives your hidden faults and keeps you from willful sins that they may not rule over you. Psalm 19

My child, seek My shelter in distress, trouble, or danger. Turn to Me when you are in need, for I have prepared what you have need of.
When Jonah ran from Me, he and all those with him experienced the storm of My displeasure. Jonah was resigned to a doom of his imagining but I had already prepared a place of safety, a time of refuge, and a method of transport to get him back on track in time to complete his assignment.
When David sought to escape from Saul’s death sentence, I protected him on his travels and sheltered him in his sojourns. David did not have advance knowledge of where Saul would search or how many men he would bring so he had to stay alert, using his wilderness skills to plan ahead and develop strategies. But he sought Me as he did so, and I honored his dependency on Me. He did not quietly, secretly, pray in his tent before the strategy meetings with his captains; rather, he announced it before all his men and publicly sought My answers for all to hear. And when his wisdom and decisions had him cornered, I responded to his need because he sought Me out beforehand.
When I saw the evil that was in men’s hearts in the generations of Adam after the fall in the garden, only one man turned and sought Me for direction with a willing heart. Noah was obedient to the task I gave him, refusing to be distracted as he persisted in the effort to realize the vision I had given him. After all the work was done by Noah and his sons, I am the One who closed the door and steered the craft. I kept it from running aground or getting shipwrecked in the rising water. I guided their shelter safely to its resting spot, upright, without collision.
My arm is not shortened, nor is My strength diminished, My child. I am there with you, My dear one, and I have prepared the protection you need. Turn to Me in trust; even if you were running like Jonah, I would not reject you, for you are graven on My palms. Make your plans and develop your strategies, My love, but let it be known that you are depending on Me for wisdom. I will keep you safe, whether you have a mountain between you and your enemy, or whether they have entered the mouth of the cave you are sheltering in. I am steering the ark of your sanctuary; you feed those I have put in your responsibility, and I will guide your craft clear of shipwreck. The knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall fill the earth as the waters cover the sea.

May you know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose, for those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, and those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. Romans 8

May you rest in the knowledge that if God is for you, who can be against you? For He Who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also graciously give you all things? Who can bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? Since God justifies, who can condemn? Since it is Jesus Who died, and was raised to life, and is interceding for you at God’s right hand, who shall separate you from the love of Christ? Romans 8

May you be convinced that in trouble, hardship, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, or sword that you are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves you, for neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8

When you pursue the spiritual adversaries of your soul, may you overtake them and not turn back till they are destroyed by crushing them so they cannot rise when Christ makes them fall beneath your feet. Psalm 18

May you destroy your spiritual foes when God arms you with strength for battle and causes your spiritual enemies to turn their backs in flight when they cry for help but discover there is no one to save them. Psalm 18

May you beat your spiritual foes as fine as dust borne on the wind and pour them out like mud in the streets, for God has delivered you from their attacks and put you in authority over the principalities, making them subject to the King of kings as they cringingly bow down in obedience when they come trembling from their strongholds. Psalm 18

May you give praise to your Rock, the Lord Who lives, and exalt God your Savior Who avenges you, subduing principalities and saving you from your enemies for He has exalted you above your foes and rescued you from violent men. Psalm 18

May you praise the Lord among the nations and sing praises to His name for He gives His favored great victories and shows unfailing kindness to His chosen. Psalm 18

May your relationships with people, places, and things be subordinate to your relationship with God, always checking that no matter how much you love them, that you love the Lord first and most, realigning any relationship that draws you from, or diminishes your love for, the Lord your God. 2 Chronicles 8

May you offer to the Lord daily the sacrifices of praise from a humble and contrite heart, which is His due, for from His hand daily come mercies renewed for you each morning, even your next breath and next heart-beat. 2 Chronicles 8

May you search the depths of the word of God for the riches of His grace and the knowledge of His nature, growing in wisdom and experience as you plumb the untrodden landscape of His compassion and experience the unseen vistas of His majesty, guided by the faithful leading of His Spirit of truth, laying up for yourself wealth in His kingdom, for where your treasures are, there your heart will be, also. 2 Chronicles 8, Luke 12

May you live in such close communion with God and walk in such a personal relationship with Christ that those who come to you, whether for help or in curiosity, will leave with more value than they brought. 2 Chronicles 9

May you know the pleasure that comes with the true wisdom from God, for it cannot be found in the wealth of the world or the enjoyment of things. 2 Chronicles 9

May you value and respect the wisdom found in the previous generation, even as you desire your children to receive and learn of the lessons you have gained benefit from, for God is the source of all understanding, which He gives liberally to any who ask for the sake of honoring the Lord and serving His people. 2 Chronicles 10, James 1

May you walk in the realization and the truth that you are no longer controlled by your sinful nature, but by the Spirit of God which lives in you once you have become a child of God. Romans 8

May you rejoice in the fact that if Christ is in you, your spirit is alive because of righteousness, and the Father will give life to your mortal body through His Spirit dwelling in you, though it is subject to death because of sin. Romans 8

May you fulfill your obligation, not to the sinful nature, to live by it, nor to the enemy, to say, “yes,” to him, but to the Spirit of God, to walk as children of the Father. Romans 8

May it become real to you that if, by the Spirit, you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Romans 8

Are you prepared to follow the heavenly vision, My child, as I reveal it to you in greater detail? Walking in it calls for frequent adjustment, and requires spiritual resources that I have prepared for you, but you must seek Me as you have not before. Your spirit is, indeed, willing and eager, but your flesh is contrary and weak; remain watchfully vigilant that you may not be distracted from a continually prayerful attitude.
By drawing near and remaining close to Me, you will hear the whispered encouragement of My Spirit giving you strength from My Word, and you will discern the shape of the enemy’s trap of temptation ahead. I have made a way of escape for you, but you must keep your eyes on Me; do not be overtaken by the cares of work in the world and look away from Me, or let the diversion of leisure lull you to sleep, lest you fall into the snare and your effectiveness be removed.
The patterns and forms that are set up in the world for the ministry by, and to, My people serve their purpose for the time they are needed, My habitual one, but My vision is a dynamic, developing, growing, maturing process. As you grow in your natural body, you exchange one set of clothes for another, and move from one level of lessons and practical work to another, although it is always centered on the chores about the house and helping each other in your family. So it is in My kingdom. When you feel the nudge of the Spirit and see the shift in your life, do not seek to hold on to the form or the pattern by which My Spirit has expressed the Father’s love through you in times past, lest you miss out on new depths and greater reaches of ministry to My Body’s members.
I am patient, My love, and I will walk with you through the new pathways as many times as you are willing to try, for I see your heart and I know your struggle. It is only when I see in the heart of one I strive with that the decision has been made to go no further that My Spirit lifts for a season, only to return when repentance and contrition has come. My Spirit will always direct you outward to reach others, My precious one, never drawing My people to turn inward to exclude or close out others from the riches of grace and loving acceptance which I have abundantly provided for My family.
Walk ever in the better way of love, extending service and ministry to others as servants for My sake, leading in love, but meek in ministry; not for the love of people, but for love of Me. For no matter whether others accept or reject you, I will always embrace you, just as I did when you were My enemy. That is the love that will see you through, and will not fail in your service to all.

May you cry, “Abba, Father,” through the Spirit of sonship given by the Father’s love for you, which banishes the spirit of fear which would try to enslave you again. Romans 8

May your spirit receive the testimony of the Spirit Himself that you are God’s children, and thus the Father’s heirs and Christ’s co-heirs, if indeed you share in His suffering in order that you may also share in His glory. Romans 8

May you consider that your present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in you, for even the creation waits eagerly for God’s children to take their place. Romans 8

May you anticipate, with hope and expectation, the time when creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. Romans 8

May your enemy, who is too powerful for you, and your foes, which are too numerous for you, see the hand of God take hold of you and draw you out of deep waters. The Lord rescues you when His enemy confronts you in the day of your distress, and God brings you out into a large, safe place because He delights in taking pleasure in you. Psalm 18

May the Lord save you, as He does the humble, and may you see the faithfulness and purity of the Lord. Psalm 18

May the Lord keep your lamp burning as He turns your darkness into light, and help you advance against a troop when the enemy comes in like a flood. Psalm 18, Isaiah 59

May you take refuge in the Lord, Who is a shield to those who trust Him, for His way is perfect and His word is flawless. Psalm 18

May God arm you with strength and make your way perfect, giving you the agility of a deer and enabling you to stand on the high places. Psalm 18

May the God Who trains your hands for battle, and strengthens you to bend a bow of bronze, give you His shield of victory, sustaining you by His right hand as He stoops down to make you great. Psalm 18

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When trials, troubles, and tribulations arrive, whatever disaster or disease may come, may you make your prayer and plea to God, spreading your hands toward Him and confessing your afflictions and pains, for He is righteous and just, full of mercy and grace, hearing with forgiveness, dealing with each person according to all he does, for He alone knows the hearts of men, and teaching you to fear God and walk in all His ways. 2 Chronicles 6

When you are in a battle against principalities and powers, fighting wickedness in high places, waging war against the powers of the air, may your prayer to God and in His Name be heard and answered from heaven, upholding His cause. 2 Chronicles 6

May you be clothed with salvation and rejoice in God’s goodness as the Lord arises and comes to His resting place with the ark of His might, for He will not reject His anointed one, remembering the great love He promised to His servant. 2 Chronicles 6

May your prayers be heard by God and open the doors of heaven for fire to come down, consuming the offerings and sacrifices you have laid out before Him as His glory fills the temple, and the Lord receives the worship. 2 Chronicles 7

May God’s people, who are called by His Name, humble themselves and pray, seeking His face and turning from their wicked ways, so that God will hear from heaven and forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7

Do you seek to hear My voice, My child? Does your heart yearn to dwell in My sanctuary? Does your soul hunger to know My presence? I have said that he who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on what is false nor sworn deceitfully, that is the one who may ascend into the hill of the Lord and stand in My holy place, receiving a blessing and vindication from Me.
Does your heart condemn you, My dear one? Is hope ebbing from your soul as you look at only the transgressions of the last week, or merely the last day? I, the One who created your heart, have more authority than your heart, and I know the intentions of your spirit as you attempt to be obedient to what I have shown you. I see your struggles, and I know your strength is not up to the task. Only One among all who have walked the earth in flesh has hands clean to qualify and a heart pure to stand before Me, though all mankind, since they are created in My image, desires to know their Creator.
Do you rejoice to behold My Son? Does your spirit leap when My Spirit reveals the redemption bought by the sacrifice of the Lamb? Does your heart bow in humility to acknowledge your need and receive the free gift of reconciliation? Look upon the Captain of your salvation, so filled with love for you that it demands action of Him, even His death on the cross; so filled with sorrow at your sin that bloody sweat falls to the ground from every pore.
Consider what He experienced on the cross if you would be freed of the burden of your troubles. Gaze at the wounds of His body and, through them, let the wounds of your heart and mind, and then body, be healed. Realize the depth of the humiliation and shame that He endured and, once you understand it was because of the value He places on you, then rise with the dignity of a child of God, showing respect for your Lord’s evaluation of your true worth, and walk in the assurance of His love and compassion for you, facing life today without fear.

May you know that as you allow the Spirit of Christ to dwell in you and Christ to reign over you, the power of sin to control you is broken. Romans 7

May you walk in the understanding that the influence of sin which dwells in your flesh is not ruling over you any more than dwelling in a city gives you rule over it, but by yielding to the saving and redeeming power of Christ you bring each thought and argument into subjection to the authority of Christ. Romans 7

May you continue to strive in the effectual power of the Spirit of God and the strengthening truth of the Word of God to resist, and to stand against the promptings of the flesh and influences of the carnal mind. Romans 7

May your earnest desire to obey the Lord draw you closer to Him while He purifies your heart and mind, allowing you to see more clearly the true repugnance of the evil and, for the love of the Savior, more willingly turn from it. Romans 7

May you realize that though you no longer serve your old master, the law of sin, which continually wars against the law of your mind, now cleansed and renewed by the Spirit of Christ, yet still you are unable, even at your best, to free yourself from it. Therefore regularly and frequently give humble and fervent thanks to God for Christ, your Deliverer, Who is your atonement and righteousness. For then, He will lift you into His freedom and give you His victory moment by moment while you depend on Him. Romans 7

May you always rejoice and be glad that through the Spirit of God, the law of love is written on your heart, and though the righteousness of the law is not fulfilled by you, yet it is, by God’s grace, fulfilled in you that God may receive the glory. Romans 8

May you call to the Lord and cry to your God for help when you are in distress, for from His temple, He will hear your voice and your cry will come before Him. Since you know that He hears you, you also know that He will give you what you ask for. Psalm 18, 1 John 5

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

My child, all shall know that I am the Lord.
My people, whom I have called by name and claimed as My own, who have willingly embraced My name and My nature as they walk in My redemption, will accept the work of the Spirit in laying aside the old self; they will receive the renewed mind of Christ, putting on the new self created in righteousness and true holiness.
As you grow in your love for Me, which is a reflection of My deep and abiding love for you, the laying down and casting aside of your old way of life will not be painful, but will be an expression of your joy at gaining the acceptance and approval of the Father through Me.
The people of the world, though they have the witness of My creation in all of nature, do not seek in their hearts to know Me. They will, however, still come to the knowledge of who I am; as they are led and influenced by the spirit of this world to resist My will and My work as it is done by My people, My outstretched arm against them will reveal the truth of My presence and glory.
I will make a distinction between My people, who bear in their hearts My law and the scars of their willing submission to the circumcision by My word, and those in the world, who have not yet submitted, neither by bowing their knees nor confessing with their mouth the truth of who I am.
The judgments that I bring upon the citizens of the earth, thundering over their heads and darkening their skies, will destroy what they have gathered and take what they hold dear in this world. This will be done in mercy to awaken their spirits to their danger and raise questions in their heart about the lies they have been told, giving them one more chance to seek Me. When they do, My child, remember that I have placed you where they can find you; do not condemn them, My dear one, or despise them, but in compassion toward them, testify of Me in loving truth and accepting grace.
Do not fear the expressions of My control over the earth, the weather, the seas, the water on the land and the plants of the field, even the systems of man with their finances, products, technology, and communication. I am drawing the final harvest of those who will turn to me, dividing the sheep from the goats.
Know that My convincing power will go forth over all the earth, and My Holy Spirit will speak to all hearts through the declaration of the gospel, until all nations bow themselves at My name and call Me Lord.

May you keep yourself by the Word of God from the ways of the violent and, by following God’s ways, your steps will not slip. Psalm 17

When the wicked assail you and your mortal enemies surround you, may the Lord keep you as safe as you would protect the pupil of your eye, and may He hide you in the shadow of His wings. Psalm 17

May the desire of your heart, in humility, be for the wisdom and knowledge to do the task God has given you rather than to receive the benefits of position and power. 2 Chronicles 1

May you walk close to God, seeking His will and expressing His love, for when your thoughts are on the Lord and your deeds reflect the Father, others will listen to your words as they declare the heart of God. 2 Chronicles 2

Just as the love of God was shown to the Israelites by His gift to them of Solomon, who ruled in wisdom and whose kingdom brought peace and richness of life to them, so may you begin to understand the depth of the value He places on His people by giving His Son, Jesus, to redeem them from the enemy and establish them in His kingdom with all the wisdom and power of His Spirit, the strength and truth of His Word, and riches of all spiritual gifts in the heavenlies that His will may be established on earth as it is in heaven. 2 Chronicles 2

The goal of those in the world is pleasure, My child. Some seek to achieve it through power, some through riches, some through skills and talents, others simply through experiences and circumstances; but all desire to know the joys and delights that the soul of man hungers for. Each one struggles to gain self-satisfaction and to feel self-sufficient, but the sweetness turns bitter in their throat as soon as they achieve what they sought.
The ruler of this world has lied to them, making them believe that what appeals to the flesh and to the natural mind will satisfy the inner man, when in truth, that which is taken from others, by stealth, force, fear and coercion is only ashes and dust, leaving the receiver in greater hunger and despair than before.
Be not of the world, My child, even as I am not of the world. I was anointed by the Father with the Holy Ghost and power for the work I was assigned and predestined to do, and I went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
When My work at Calvary was completed, having defeated death, hell, and the grave, I became your advocate, your high priest, pure, blameless, undefiled by all I had passed through, even though I was despised and forsaken by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
Be wise, My child, and understand that the way to receive lasting joy is through giving, not hoarding, and through laying down, not picking up. Though it is not what your experience in the world has shown you, it is the enduring principle of My kingdom. Simply by walking in obedience to My leading and humbly accepting My nature, you will see this change take place in your heart toward others.
Your study of My Word will begin to open your eyes to see in eternity. Learn that it is in service that you will be exalted, and it is in obedience that you learn authority. When you realize the depth and extent of your dependence on Me, even to the next breath and for each heartbeat, then praise will be your response to My grace, and worship will pour forth from your heart.
As you see how devastatingly immense your need is, you will find how incomprehensibly abundant My willing provision is. It is in your boasting of Me, My child, that you will find My joy in you.

May you take refuge in the Lord, Who will keep you safe, for apart from Him you have no good thing. Psalm 16
