Stand in Authority

When a child comes across a bully, it is easy to back down to avoid a fight, especially when that bully has beaten them up time and time again. However, my child, that bully that keeps coming around is the enemy, and he has been defeated over 2000 years ago by the blood of my Son. Do not be afraid, and do not back down, but know the authority I have given you in Christ Jesus. Know that I have given you all authority to trample over snakes and scorpions, to overthrow and overcome every single plan of the enemy.

The enemy's only power over you is the one that you give him. So do not be afraid and stand in your authority. Do you know that all the armies of heaven are behind you when you step out to face him? Do you know that there is nothing he can do to deter you from conquering the land that he has stolen when you know who you are in Christ? So stand as the warrior and conqueror you are and storm his camp, take his land and every single promise he has stolen from you. So rejoice that the battle has already been won and stand as the victor in any circumstance you face!

God is Preparing you for Greatness

Greatness requires preparation! David went through his season of leadership training and preparation tending sheep for his father’s flocks. Moses had to look after his father-in-law’s herds at the backside of the desert. So don’t despise the season of preparation I have had you in, my child. No matter how secluded you might feel, no matter how far away from where you want to be, my hand is upon you. The pressure situations you are faced with at this time, are there to shape you and prepare you for where I am sending you when you are done here. 

Embrace each lesson with an open heart, and allow me to prepare you for what lies ahead. As you allow me to teach you each lesson now, you will know what to do as you step out to lead my people. You may not understand the reason for each lesson, and at times you might even wonder what any of your circumstances have to do with leading my people. However, trust in me. Know that it was my mighty hand that arranged those circumstances and strategically placed you where you find yourself today. So, don’t think that I have forgotten about you. On the contrary, know that I have gone through a great deal of shifting and arranging to have you face the pressures and lessons that you are facing at this time. I have a bigger picture and a future season in mind. So take my hand and follow me, my child. 

Embrace this season. In fact, I want you to have fun with it. When the time comes and you need to take your place in the palace to be king and to lead my people, you will have the skills, the wisdom, and the understanding you need. So embrace this time. Look to me every step of the way, for I have a treasure of knowledge waiting for you each day. Take my hand, and let me lead you through this season. Let me take you on a treasure hunt so that when the time comes for you to leave this place and move forward, you go into your new season fully equipped, says the Lord.

See Through the Eyes of God!

My child, I understand that you don't always understand why certain things happen in your life, and you are sitting there questioning why you had to face this pressure, and suffer this challenge.

My child, instead of looking at the pressure and the challenge you are facing, look into my eyes. As you look into my eyes, you will see as I see, you will understand as I do, and you will know what to do in each situation that you are going through.

So, instead of trying to figure out what is wrong and why all these things are happening, just look into my eyes, just trust in me, says the Lord.

For I am with you. I am the answer to each and everyone of your questions, I have a way out of each difficult situation and I have a solution for each problem you are faced with. All you have to do is dare to look into my eyes, and see as I see.

I love you dearly and I am here for you even now says the Lord!

God is Always with You!

My child, I am holding you in the palm of my hand even now. I am always there for you, no matter what you are going through. I have a plan for you and I am here to protect you.

No matter what, my love will never change. I will always be ready to pour my love out to you. I am always ready to give you what you need.

So, today know that I am indeed with you, no matter how tough your circumstances are, and no matter how hard the decisions you have to make. Know that I am right here, ready to love on you and give you the direction you need.

You are so very precious to me my child. You are my gem, you are my treasure, and I am always right here ready to protect you. I am always right here ready to love you. I am always right here ready to show you the way, says the Lord.

5 things that Fasting and Prayer Produce in your life!
