Rejoice in What You Have

My child, before you were formed in your mother's womb, I saw you and knew you. I saw each and every aspect of you, gave you gifts, saw your personality and set the path before you to walk. I saw every one of your days before they came to be. Know that in that moment, I made you exactly to my desire, and what I have made, is good. So do not ever look at someone else and envy what I have given them. You have been created with a specific purpose in my kingdom. You are unique, and only you can fulfil that purpose. No one can take your place.

So take a good look at each and every part of you, and rejoice in what you have. You may not see the value of what is in you, but as you step out to bless others in faith hope and love, everyone else around you will. Know that without you, the body of Christ feels a lack. So regardless of what you think or feel, keep pouring out everything I have given you. Rejoice in the treasure that I have made, you!

My Love Protects You Always

You are my precious bride and I am very jealous of you. I love you with all of my being and I will do anything to protect you my beloved, says the Lord.

Do not fear the enemy any longer for my hand and my power is stronger than anything he could ever throw at you. No longer fix your eyes on his destruction but see my life.

I will shield you and protect you always. You might have ten armies come against you but I will avenge each one and protect you in the palm of my hand. My child, just give me your heart and your trust once again so that I can fight on your behalf so that your joy may be restored.

I love you so dearly and I will never ever leave you nor forsake you. Rise up and give me your hand so that I can deliver you from the attacks of the evil one. As you submit wholeheartedly to me and give up your own fighting and trying, the enemy will lose his hold.

I love you dearly. I died for you 2000 years ago and I would do it again and again because my love for you is so strong. You mean so much to me and my love will protect you always.

Come and receive my love. Come to me and understand my love afresh. Trust in me my child and together we will climb many mountains and fight many wars. Together we will conquer this world in my name. So come now child. Come!

Feed on the Word of God!

Even as Joshua of old stood on my word and trusted in me completely, so I am calling you to stand boldly on my promises, says the Lord. Joshua knew the word and he spoke it day and night.

He had such faith in my words, that He was able to go beyond the authority that I had given to man and commanded the sun to stop so that they could win the battle!

My child, you desire to see miracles, you desire to receive more! Then stand as Joshua stood and be grounded in my word. Get back to eating my word as if it were bread. Get back to receiving the living waters right from the promises I have given.

My child I have more for you and I want to increase your anointing. I want to increase my power in you. So step out boldly. Seek me and come to me in faith. As you do so, a new land will open up before you like never before.

As you do so, you will decrease and I will increase so that when people see you, they will no longer see you but will see me in you indeed, says the Lord!

God has a New Place for you!

My child, you are so blessed by knowing the well of life, having that source of life within you from the day you were born again. See that no other water can satisfy you like the one you receive from me. Know that you would not have found this well without Me, if I would not have chosen you and brought you close to this fountain of blessing, you would have been wandering in this desert lost and alone for your whole life. 

But I have been with you from your mother's womb, I have been looking for you and provided for you day by day, I have taken you under my wings and covered you from the cold outside in this world. Now as you have grown and you stronger and stronger, you are also able to take care and provide for these that I have found and chosen to bring into my kingdom. 

You will have the strength you need as you go, you will find the wisdom and the love you need to pour out as you make yourself available. Don't think that you will not be strong enough and that you could fail, just see the goal ahead and fix your eyes on me, do not let the enemy in with doubts. Open your heart and let faith make a way, and do not say "No" before you even tried! Do not limit Me with your thinking and with the borders you live in right now. I can make the tents bigger and I can even take the borders away! 

As I give you this new responsibility and open this new road for you, I encourage you, my child, to come with boldness to the throne of grace and make that step of faith.  Do not be ashamed to be dependent on me completely! Be excited and make your first step, walk that new road in confidence, and do not be ashamed to knock on the same door I always knocked and ask for everything you need. Because my Father loves you and He likes to give in abundance to those who knock on His door!

Fight with Godly Wisdom

I have placed in your chest the heart of a warrior. You are not shy of fighting, and you are skilled with your sword. However, my child, I want you to realize that your skills will be most effective when I who call you to war, and not when you think you should war. The enemy’s battle is raging all around. He has his armies dispatched to patrol all over the land. 

However, just because his armies are patrolling, doesn’t mean that they need to be attacked. Allow me to give you the strategies of war. Allow me to give you your battle plan, and allow me to position you to fight the battles I want you to fight. Let me carry you to the fight that needs to be fought, and don’t just pick fights wherever you are. 

For it is when you use your skill, and your warrior's heart is in the right place at the right time that you will gain ground in my name, and that you will indeed weaken the enemy’s plan. So, rest in my leadership, says the Lord. Don’t feel that you have to lead the charge. I am your commander. I tell you where to wield your sword, and I tell you when to yield it. 

Come to peace, and know that when you hear that trumpet call and the battle cry goes out across the land to mobilize my armies, you will be equipped and ready to fight the fight. So, incline your ears against my chest. Listen to the rhythm of my heartbeat, and move in tune with the sound of my voice, says the Lord. I have the blueprint, and all you need to do is act in accordance with it when I call upon you. Let’s fight this war together, and know that you can do so from a place of peace. 

I will call you to attention when attention is needed, and I will call you to rest when rest is needed. So, trust in me afresh, and together, let’s win this war, says the Lord.
